 As ao lhe m0Hrgs Frndex IHpHtes to Judge Conway, for presenting the resolutions thnk il quite probable Ife Is sincere for from the character of his piece. should suppose his very nature rebeis al every thing like pH- rity of motive and honesty of purpose; and that t would be impossible for hjm to con- eeIve how any man Is ever influenced to act from other than sinister motives. His mInd and soul do not seem eapacIous enouglI for hm to imagTne the existence ef such q thing as disinterested love of country He doubt less looks on patriotism IS ut0plan. and judges of the conduct of others by the standard 0t his own selfish heart. It Is a pity he has as- sumed the name of EiadeF for t Is q n0bl6 uame- and 1t IS shame sadlg to debase t by an unnatural connection with an Illbred essay But presume the author drew on the Latin dictionary fer his name, and on the men for his essay.
 Z.F1 has not been SO regardless of the common deceucIes aud courtesIes of society as .' Findex7 The general spirit of his es- say Is Hnexeeptionabie. and had he not oeea- sionaIlv indulged in unworthy Aggression to aIlude Co the supposed motives or politics of Judge Conway, he would have given no cause for complaint What the Judge's atetiges or poiitics have to do with the annexation ques- gt0n. I cannot comprehend. But do know. the despicable lnsInuatIons Ot 's index and ..Z , with regard to them. are baselF HntrHe- and that an intelligent and magnaninous peo- ole will understand and properly appreciate the feelings and motives ot those who uu- Justlv assalI pFIvate citizen n q public Iour- nal of the country.
 aZ1 will not grant that Capt. Moore is the whig leader in Hempstead, and says the Cap tain thinks himself no more than I pupil III ,. the science of politics. compared with many .s of his r9Usrgnd seniors n Hampstead. - Re5eraHd seniors ha was not before ap- prised that the whig politicians had assumed the honorary epithet Of the good clergy = But>it IS all in character-Thev are ambi- tious-cf monopelislng all he houors as well IS the offices of the country; and If they triumph. the trle blue demoerats will IHst have to be plain Mr CIodhoppersi for they will all be easd5ersd and a51sqnrsd too
 sZ.a also denies that Capt Moore de- aouuced the democrats May he he dId not. Perhaps though 1t was with him as the ehist- ling school boy arraigned by his teacher for having indulged his inordinate propensity in sckoo3- The teacher phIllpped him on me forehead, and demanded ofhIm how he dargd to wbisf{s in seAooI2 He said he did not cdialet Hl0 was | then. sir Why | Iust whstled 1seift But if the Captain did not denounee the democrats, t was a mistake on my part. and cheerfuIIy take t back would disdain knowingly to oH1isrepresent the Captain or any body else.
 Notwithstanding FndexH and -' Z.r have said 80 mucb about the subject, they have avoided telling IS whether they are for or against the annexation of Texas. It Is true :. Fndex1 says: The resolutions met with q re5uke which no sane man could misun- .' derstand = and calls them q ptecocioJIs baatIing.' and says 1t was :. transported from :. our quiet community, where 1t had so few .- friends, Sc But this Is not avowing hjs| sentiments on the subiect. and if he intends, by these sentences, to convey the idea that the IT eeting was opposed to the principles of the resolutions. he endeavors to make an er- roneous impression. For I believe our eiti- zeus= are almost unanimously in favor of an- nexaton.
 'Z.7 takes up the resolutions in order, and objects to them all, principally because, as he seems to suppose, they are based on the presumption that the annexation of Texas Is a popular Or legislative measure, and not an executive one. If" Z.r will examine the resolutions again. he will perceive he has fallen into error. They do not assume that is either popular, LsgisIattre, or esecutirc measure! The mode Is not assumed or suggested Tbal Is another question, Jeff to be determined by the wisdom of the proper tribunal, at the proper time. The resolutions are for annexation in a1ay just mode. Their great consideration is azmerafioa.
 But fl '-Z." Dc right in his opinion tEat 1t is aLofe an executive measure, the object of tttE HtbN iTS9ittttAgA HStoitiES iiit4Eet HIlpOF- tant, and 1t behooves all favorable to annexa- ton, to be on the alert as to their man for the residency-especially as this same vii ter says: That the whigs do not elect < Presidents to be ruled or dictated to by '' them, but to carry out the measures and do '- the business they are elected to do,7 &c.
 These writers are obviously whgs-men who profess to believe the people of Arkan- sas wofuliy benighted in politics, and need but to know whig opinions and doctrines, to embrace them, and join in the bacchanalian chant to siHg whig candidates into office Then give IS light, gentIemen-come out frankly, and tell us whether you are for or against the annexation of Texas. Avow your selves at once, like freemen. Don't be so dark and mysterious. You surely do not seek to decoy the people to the support of man e Tife fresiferre1 to their wishes and interests on this great subject. A.
