 Dear Sir--Your favor of 18th March, drawing my attention to Governor Pope's address, has just come to hand.

 I had two days ago received the news paper containing the Governors publica- ton, and imme ediateiy addressed letter to him, through the medium of the Ar kansas Gazette" correcting the error in- to which he has been led on the subject of the affair between Col. Sevier and myself l was surprised to find such charge made against you; but your enemies, 1t seems, leave no stone unturned to do yetI injury. hope my communication 10 his Excellen- cy will be satisfactory on that point.

 In relation to the charge of your C hay- ing stirred up an opposition to the late Mir. Conway" distinctly recolieee, that yon were so backward in giving counte- nance to Col. Odenas pretensions, that he made it matter of complaint to me, long after Ire became candidate, saving that he had calculated upon yonr active sup porr, from the fact of your being old and intimate friends, and that lie believed 1t then doubtful whether or not you would support him. l mentioned this conversa- ton 10 you soon afterwards, aud you told me that you had determined 10 take no part in the election, farther than to give yonr silent vote for 0den. And l know frll wel that you did not depart from the resolution you had formed, until you were compelled 10 do so in self-defencc. \ few designing men and of6cious friends of Mir. Conway, sought tire occasion to identify yon with Col Oden, hoping, thereby, 10 break you both down'at once The means usedto accomplish this object, arc known tost the people of the Territory.

 You are at liberty to make what use 5ou please of this letter. Your friend,

 THOS. ". NEWTON. ROBERT CR1rTENpEN, Esq.
