As Gov. Yell, IN his letter 10 the p. NJ. Gen.

official acts, while exercising the duties OF the Office
of Governor Of this State, in appointing DAVIS
THOMPSON, ESQ, of Helena to be the Commissioner.
on the par of this State, to run the boundary line
between rkunsas and Missouri; and, also, in
appointing the same gentleman as one of the To-.

lawl He doubtless knem that that gentleman was,
at that time. DEFAULTER to the United States, as
late Receiver Of public moneys at Helena, for
some $4,000 or 100000. Gov. Yell also well

Constitution, if the dcfaca,Ion had been to this
State, instead of the United States.


Now, would like to know, how Gov. YoII

conduct. But, think can readily imagine how
he will do it; He vii do it in the same way the
Inwyor did in the fable. He will say-"The case

Therefore, as Mr.. Thompson is in faror Of Gov


YELL for Senator, and againa Col. ASHLEY, it
was perfectly right to appoint him to office; aLd.
as am known to be in faror of Col. AsuLEy's
reelection to the U. S. Senate. it is porfec,Iy
right that should be turned out of Office IfGov.
Yell has any more rational way of explaining his
inconsistency, the people would doubt ess like to
