 l MORE OF THEM ARE AT IT! In the Ar kansas Gazette, two weeks ago, there was a communication from certain Batesvllle cor respondent who has been engaged in advo- eating abo7it0aism and rePudiatioh In the l communication alluded to, he manilests his sudden conversion to ,4ShleyiSm. Well, what of it? In answer to that question, l will just ask a few others, which those may an- i swer who choose, or who can. How long l has it been, since this same Batesyllle cor respondent of the Gazette was not only a political, but most violent personal ene- my of Col. Ashley? How long since he denounced Col. Ashley as either a perurer, or suboner Of perjury? How long since he denounced Col. Ashley as the man9tac- tuyer of fraudulent land ciaims-the robber of the widow and orphan? How long since l he walked the streets of Little Rock, and wished that Col. Ashley could be induced to speak to him, in order that he might have all opportunity to ..cut off his ears"? Now, sir, has this individual changed his politics has he become a democrat? Go ask the editor of the Gazette, and he will swear his precious Batesvile correspondent is ''evefy inch a whig;n and vet he is now the friend and advocate of Col. Ashiey Last year, when Col. Ashley was doing service in the democratic cause, this individual was his open enemy, and bitter reyiIer-and yet he is the same uncompromising 1chig, he was thenl What has produced this sudden and wonderful change in his relations toward Col. Ashley Has Col Ashley changed his politics or has he made promises and pledg- es, of a personal or political character, to this Batesville whig, and thus gagged the mouth, and tied up the hands, of his opposi- tion3 In contemplating this wonderful con- version, am forced to conclude that either the BatesvilIe whig was a Slandcrer when he made the charges of such atrocious con- duet, against Col. Ashley, or he las HOW been bought Up, and brought over to his sup port, by promises or pledges. or commRaity of interest of some kind. What they may be, pretend not 10 say at present; but vail for developments. Let my readers 'stick a pin here''; for aaay have occasion to men, ton il again.

 MoRE OF THEM ARE AT IT. The last '.WasIlington Felegrah, D notorieusly and bit terly Nhig, deyotes its leading, and almost only, editorial 10 denunciation of Gov. I ell and the eoavention-and 10 the praise and advocacy Of Col. Ashley. It very evi- denty considers itself enlisted for the wal in favor of Col. Ashley, and intends to do its e>tiightng under the red and black flags of .4sbzeg and U6tegerg combined. Now, sir, do not intend 10 find fault with the ''l'ele- graphp for advocating Col Ashley. All desire is to point out the fact, to the demo- cratic party, and let them think of 1t as they please. But as the '.Felegraphn has very charitably ascribed my preference for Gor

 YeH, to ''sinster molives," l beg leave to enquire as to what arc the moiiues which have influenced shat paper to change it's late opposition 10 Col Ashley into his support; Now, str, there ls nothing strange that one democrat should advocate another democrat; ; and as Gov. ! ell and myself are, and have always been, democrats, my advocacy and i support of him requires no explanation. He and have fought together so long, in the same good cause, that 1t would be strange, indeed, and seem as if 1 had some ''sinster motives" if could desert him now, or sup port a 1cAig. Bat with the Telegraph" the case is altogether different. The Telegraph professes to be whig, and Col Ashley I prolesses to be a democrat; and last year i they were in open and deadly conlct-each striving for the destruction of the other.- That was while Col. Ashley was fighting in i the Democratic ranks! Has the ..Telegraph'' changed it's politics; no! Has Col. Ash ley? o mol says the 's1eIegraph" Yet l lind they have made friends, and are now playing into each others hand! C1 boao2 for whose benefit, Mir. Editor3 For the good of the Democratic party? Bah The idea of Yhig paper fighting for the good of the Democratic party, is loo ridiculous to think of. Yet the .'1elegraph" is doing its best for Col. Ashley Again, sir, | would enquire when this advocacy of Col. Ashley, by the ..FeegraPh,1 commenced; 1 have been a reader of that paper, all the while, and have never seen its support of Col Ashley manifested until the last number, have re- lerred to. When was that? On THE 22ND. or THIS MONTH. What of that? Why, sir, at that very time, or just before, Co., ,4sh- 1 Ley's Son was al Washington, and is believed | to iidNG HGll long dnI ptiFdie conference with the editor of the '.Felegraphn--the very next number of which contains the eulogy of the Colonel, and the deuunciation of Go- vernon Yell. Now, sir, whether Wm Ash ley was his fathers agent in any negotiation with the editor of the ..Telegraph,' D or whe- ther he gave that editor any inducements to support his father, can never be known; be- cause, if made at all, the arrangement was. doubtless, pricate one But the circum- stances are as have stated them. It is for the public to infer, whether ''otherand sinister motives than democratic patriotism" have so suddenly brought the Telegraph to the sup port of Col. Ashley.

 The "Telegrapho says-''It is fortunate for Coy. Yell, that Whiggery is not utterly extinguished.o We'll, perhaps il is; for as the Governor is man of active mind and ar dent patriotism, have no doubt he has plea sure in fighting against the enemies of his country; and would feel little awkward i he had to lay aside the Democratic harness in which he has fought from lis youth up te the present time, without fear and withou cessation. The fact is, he has spent his life in support of Democracy, and in opposition
