ln the two last Gazettes, it IS said that MT. Crittenden and his friends have charged the removal of this gentleman from office, upon Col. Sevier. MT. Crittenden never has charged Col. Sevier with having had an agency in the removal of Col. Desha, nor have his friends, within our knowledge. But we have no hesitation in saying, now that the subject has been hroached, th!,;a. Desha would have been no,c ill office, but for his opposition to Sevier at the last cleo ton. The faction, we are told, have said that no man could hold office in Arkansas who was opposed to Seyier. If Col. Se- vier had no agency, directly or indirectly, in the removal of Desha, we are greatly deceiyed-his will was doubtless good.

 It is said that he was removed because he was Public Defaulter. After he was removed, DID HE NOT SETTLE UP EVERY DOLLAR HE WAS DUE THE GOVERNMENT? When the go- venment sent on their demands against him, WAS HE NOT PROMPT IN MEETING THEM, notwithstanding Mir. JOSEPH HENDERSON, his deputy, and the brother-in-law of Ashley, had taken from the money chest of the Land Office, and appropriated to his own private purposes, between TWO AND THREE THOU SAND DOLLARS ($2, ,sso we believe) of the PUBLIC MONEY, which Desha had to account for, and lchich he has not receired c dollar of 10 tkiS day7 These are facts which the Editor, in his spleen against Desha, forgot to mention. The money taken by Henderson was without the knoacledge or consent of Desha. He brought suit against Henderson for the re- covery of 1t some months since, and it is now tied up in the Superior Court

 Desha considered himself badly treated by the government, and determined that he would not be at the trouble and expense of deposlting the public money on hand. He chose that the government should send for it, and settle with him through the proper officer here. (the. Marshal, lie now has claims against the government to a consi- derable amount, which he paid when in of fiee' which the government upon settlement refused to allow, notwithstanding he was ordered to pay them. For the recovery of these claims, his only resource will be a special act of Congress.
