 JUDGE sUTT0Nss LETTER.
 We refused to publish a communication from this gentleman, opposing tbs Nashville Convention. and Col JoHxsoS's course, but which has since found it's way to be columns ofthe Gazette and Democrat. of the 3lst uls. Severe indispoSsiion prevented us from noticing it last week, and we do so only 10 eorrec, nischievous errOs into which the writer has fallen, and which he makes be basis of an un- just attack upon OnT Representative n Congress, waen If theie was any wrong committed, we alone. should have been held responsible for if,
 Some weeks since, Col. JoHxsox received, from Ohio, an abolition tirade, of the vilest character, which we published simply to show our eaders the tone assumed by the violent fanatics of the free Statss, and for the purpose of gratifying curiosity frequently expressed by oar friends to some Of those ineindiarY documents We preiaeed il with these reasons for is publication and Cor. JoExsoS when be nclosed iti us neither expressed desire that It should be published, nor do we suppose he ever thought would appear in the Banner. yet, the Judge. in the face of these fa:ts has attempted to cast ceHsare upon Col JOHNSON for its appearance in our columns. His relation to the matter should have been known 10 yuDoE SUTTON, not only from the preface before alaied to- bli because re stated 10 hin, personally, lat ns injustice hs doing JOHNSON, his oae ef tAs ssroayss: reasons for rsseiiS5 lis communication.
 After noticing ihe :" hasy and uconsiierate " ex- pressions Of Mir JsHSsov. the Judge says, ia rela- ion ,o the Ohio letter which much disturbs him. !" thai communication is not, in my opinion. true exponet of the sentiments aud opinions of our neigh bors in Ohio; and eoncstinS for the sake of argu- mehi that We are ignorant as is assumed by Mf. JcBxsox, Gas | understand him, and he will fad maay 10 agree with hin, as Arkansas unfortunately is below par abFoa1), the Of information he proposes to afford questionable, calculated 10 excite preladice and induce 10 visit upon an is- nocent people the sins of an obscure fanatic. who only for Mr JOHNSON, would perhaps, never have been kaowa beyond his own neigh5oIbood." And, agaia, referring 10 the same deiieately remarks:
 "wheR the letter got into MT. JoHxsoS's prya,e poeke; it wonld have been as well for the author and better Tor The public il he bad kept there until his necessities suggested its only legitimate appTo- priaiion,' and, to continue it's usefulness. would have saved Juige SrrroS much patriotic distress and ourseIf the trOab;e oi writing this article.
 We do not understand taa; JOHNSON anywhere ascribes "ignoEanee ' 10 the people oi Arkansas, except as 10 the extremi;ics which the ultra north ern men propose to go, and Inc constant insults hesps4 upon The South. Hence. he saggested the PForTie'y of giving publicity to some of the ultra abolition speeches made .by such men a, Seward, Cleveland, Giadings. Rooie, Hale, and others. who are supposed 10 represent the sentiments oi their districts ii not their States And there sgreIy coalj 6e nothing wrong in adarding our people inlo5na- tioa 10 Inc extent of aggTagatoa and wrong con- templa;ed tn the South. For, whatever, the Judge may say abon, our being in '.amost daily conmani- cation wth the principal places aLa leading onr- nals of the day,' we believe that the people geuer- ally not fortunate as himself ia haying access to the "eadng journals of the Jay, and especially those imPar,ug information oi their designs upon southern institutions, and well conceded schemes for abridging our rights. The people should see and feel those things, that they may know, when and how to meet them, and whether their Repre- sentAlives acting hke " hot headed ;houghtiess ! boys" Yet :his IS "ha; inc Judge charges upon us indirectly aS prostitution of the press" r. tSPJ ," u's i"'pud1iOa WE nave oa'y 10 s%! lAat, If il be so there IS a lower grade of prostitution which press may reach. by becoming the ,rumpe- ter or bei ringer for every ssprirAnt who may wish to claim public attention by 'hrusi,ag before il opin- ions erroneous and unsolicited.
 In all due courtesy we here take leave cf ,he Judge The:e are f4Ilacies in his letter nron which we feel disposed 10 eoInmen, and would to so bat for the unexpected length into witch this notice has grown.
