The Gazettc's courage is kept up in its
fight to save the fraudulent bonds from
utter annihiation, by the honest toilng
masses OF Arkansas, by private letters
from prominent citizens OF the great
" Northwest" Perhaps those promi.
ncnts' have a coupon" or two they
would like to "scale," and hence. their
lnterest-and their names kept &" pri-
vate." No man should fear to speak out
on this question, over his own signature.

We believe ExG Gov. Garland. Gov,
Miller, the Finance Board, Maj Adams,
as well as the writers Of "private let
ters' to the Gazette, are Just us hvnest
and sincere in the policy they have
adopted and advocate to settle the in
debtedness Of the State, as any of the
gentlemen who cry out so Justify for re-
pudiation, and why their motives should
be impugned, and they continually be
charged, by implication, at least, of being
personally interested in the bonded debt
OF the State, without the production of
the least particle of evidence of the fact
is beyond our comprehension. We
know one or two of the gentlemen from
the northwest who have written "pri-
vate letters to the Gazette, that are hon.
est, and have as great interest in tho
welfare and standing of the State of Ar
kansas, as any of the papers who adyo-
cate different course.
