From ihe .Irkansas IaeEgpeer.


 On Monday last we recea letter from Messrs Snapp, Howell Eco. Mail Contractors on the White rivN route, ex- piaining the cause Of the receu &eiention of inc mails, and complaining of bitterness of our strictures. They say thak khe instance alluded to, was The only iin# when the lehole of the mail failed to reacE @lu!e Rock at the specified time. Of tkit We know nothing, and have to say that tht aessuasion of no persons should induce contrac- tors to leave one single ioia of f mail, for the greatest ineonsenienee ffeq,&aiy arises ,herefrom. They say thai Me4s Ashley and Sevier by earnest persnasi induced them to leave portion of the il matter. which they had iranked. consist oi pub- he documents and some fcp gsuapefs. which one ol the I.iiile Rock tle es failed to discover. We hold Ii, that Educators nor PosimasseFs have no right lo stag mai matter, no natter by whom reg Rssd; and departure from these rules shnk D subject them to .he penalties fixed by tlt Depart meHs
 Messrs. Snapp & Howell seekes justify themselves by saying that lb~T ar sles alone to blame: that MF. Woosfuif freQ'kitly per- mits the leaving of mail natter m Is office, which should be sen, by the yves Tn ros.se. Ne cannot know of these deliaqus ces. snd hope that they do not occur, I've have lately mad much cause of complant and oa- ly made known our grievances Sta they became so fragrant
 A short time since, say two wkks, the driver shysw out t,co bags of mail lSwss- gery's. 50 miles below shss on IA Little Rock route, and broaghs on taree Pa' s&gers upoa inc receipt of the bags, we tony them to contain letters which were ma5ed m Washugton City more than ore moak pre- vious. sifthis k noi cause sufficient tsssual- bie, We would like to know what ls.
 The Post Master at this place has made the proper report to the Department Nj the neglect of the drivers on this route, Ni we hope thaiihe penalties may in every xance be enforced, as iiis she duty Of CoHiiNsiors to. forward the mail ss lsasf aehea Asy rxesiee m
 IL was no private piqae that we hass to graiify. that caused us to make these exaS ufes, bufa sense of wrong that we have gang submitted to, and which we think shouN be at once ieeiifed.

 The operations og the press and it's ru- mored editor aFS still more apparent IL has and will assail in every way, no. only Col. Tell, but it will attack every man whose name may be mentioned before she Legisla- lure in connection with the seat in lhe Sem ate, if any one should be so impudent as to set himself up for Col. AshIey's seat in the Senate. Truly our rights as freemen are ebbing. So far as the members themselves are concerned Woodruff is ready for any course. Those who are devoted to Ashley will be iauded--,hose who are uncomprom- ising will meet no quarter, and the '.ieadcr footed,n as he styles them. will be first per suaded. and if they should prove inflexible will be lashed without mercy to the ranks. False coloring and naked falsehood ever have been, and will continue 10 be thrown like veil upon the public mind, by this corrupt press, and concern.
 We have heard of men who seemed lated to misfortune; men of virtue and goodness, men of sense, pursued by some evil and unrelen- ling spirit, whose every hope wouldperish to the heart, whose every scheme would crum- ble in calamity, whose every step contingent cy complicated, in ruin and sorrow.
 But who at this day would suppose that 3 particular fate could attach to inanilnate matter. Yet if not so, it is singular, and al least worthy of note and presentation, that the press and type of woodrufi's Democrat has been the confusion and curse of the dem- ocratic party, and the instrument of every division and serious political difficulty that has occurred in Arkansas.
 We intended to give the democracy of Ar- kansas history of Woodrutf's paper this week, as large accessions have been ma,le 10 our ranks during the past three years who have not had an opportunity to learn from whom, and from whence il emanated But we are admonised by the length of this article to conclude, yet cannot without ad-s dressing every true democrat and every man of sense, whether it would not be wise, to place this concern of men and things, at the head of our party-and whether 1t would not be sensible ,o adopt for faith and devo- ton, treachery and inconsistency, for scnnd principle, no principle, for honor and truth, cunning and falsehood. We continue this subject next week.

g. Woodruff has been aware for months past that his cause is desperate, and that his master and himself do not possess the conf dence of the democratic party. Maddened by this reflection, his dirty and scurrilous paper is devoted to coarse assaults, on dem ocrats. who with knowledge of the public and private character of Col. Ashley, are naturally enough averse to his reelection. Now Woodruff by the command of his master made war upon Gov. Drew, but after the powerful, crushing and scathing reply of the Governor, Woodruff completely discom- fitted was glad enough to gather his poisoned arrows and skulk from the field withou, hon. ors. The master and man suffered too much to allow the engagement to he renewed. and they have been comparatively sileut as to that matter ever since, as well they might be
 Pursuing the same policy Woodruff as- slulted Senator Gaines of Scott, because he was averse 10 the reelection of Col Ashley. Mr. Gaines in a strong, well written and ex- ceilens letter, administered just and cutting rehuke, to both Ashley and Woodruff. and showed to the satisfaction of every anpre- judlced man that, either of them was de- serving of confidence. Woodruff devoted about three columns of his piraiical paper, by way of response, but it was miserable failure, and the letter containing facts which are notorious 10 the whole community stands unanswered
 It would be we'll for Woodruff's own sake to fo:ego, the denuncialion of democrats, for he may rest assured his cause is bad enough, withon, constantly exhibiting to the public, the evidence of his treaehery and his utter want of political principle The very first number of his paper, proved that he belonged ,o Ashley, ~body and mind" :" and it is waste of time for him to multiply the proofs upon that point.

 Phillips county, which under the law was
 fetaraed to the Auditor, for the non pay-
 aaent Of taxes, was published in tho Banner
 which has she largest circulation of any pa- per in he State. Esquire Biven says sI,a, several of Ihe subscribers of the Journal re- qnssted him to publish said list, but he no. being in the habit of working for nothing dsclinedi and therefore among other things, he said Biven declares that the last Iegisla- sare were entitled ato the fools cap and bellfs-assicles with which he is intimately acquainted, # we are to judge from the in sslIsesuaI raliber of his paper The symptoms af Esquifs Biyens are decidedly alarming, and we hope he vii! be looked 10; by those who feel an interest in him. In the mean tisns out of charity, we woald suggest seve- Il remedies. for this new case. Let his subscribers spoken of above, take the Ban- nsr--piice three dollars per annnm payable h sdssnee; but as they are probably whigs our paper would not suit them.
