To the Editor Of the yadoocate:

 SIR-Falsehood, when sturdlly asserted and defended with impudence and boldness,

 4 +.s+4 e45+ fsFeefs that'this axiom Is true; and the Gazette proved 1t in lS33 by its bold defence of the owners of the Ten Section claims When unhallowed hands have selzed the helm of the good ship of State, the fortunes and rights of the poor are always the first to be wrecked. It is my firm belief, that never Tn any country, have more wicked and unjustifable practices been connlved at-not to say practised, by men in authorl- ty, than in Arkansas, with regard to these claims. When the assertion was first made that citizens had been deprived of theT pre- emplion rights by the licensed robbery of specalators- and that improvements had been located on by Ten Section claims, the Gazette unhesitatingy and broadly de- nied the fact, and supported its denial by several cerllicates-how obtained, the Ed- itor of that print best knows. Sc bold was the denlal-and so well did arrogant false- hood assume the semblance and the gu'se of truth, that the people were convinced that not an improvement or pre-emption right had been thus wrested from the hun'- ble citizens on the Mississippi. Even now' there Is but small proportion of the Peo- pie who believe the contrary. l aver thaa t has been done, Tn many, very many ia. stances-and l call on the Gazette to con- tradlct it-if he dares. The locusts that ra- wage the East, are not greater curse 10 the people of those i'll fated countries, than a horde of spectators to the people Of new country-and what shall we say ot the servants of the public, who make then, selves the fools of the speculators-aias who employ men as uaprincipled as them- selves to take from the citizen that proper ty which natural justice and the laws of n's country secure to him? Chosen by the Peos pie to defend those rights, they have betray- ed them to the peoples most invereraie toes

 they became the jackalls to tho hyena.

 When the first pioneers settled the wess- ern bank of the Mississippi, they encoun- tered difficulties with which those oi the emigrant noao bear no comparison. Ii tne settler wished to see his neighbor, or to op-
