After venting goodlY portion of hls spleen upon the writers for the Advocate, he IS anxious, by way of con- cliIation, to force upon us the doctrine that ile IS good Governor, and offers as a l spec1fc for the wounds inflicted upon the noble "Talleyrand, , his most disinterested and sincere friendship; and accuses us of wishing to toloef him and other coaspicuous men, Tn the estimation of the people of l thls Territory. He says we wish to wrest from :" Talleyrando his we'll deserved non- ularity! but Governor Justice, won are wilfully mistaken--you have in this instance as Tn many others, fallen far short of your mark, and this is but another poor subter- fuge to uphold your own sinking fortunes. So far from tearing his splendid wreath rom hls brow, 1 cannot think that the bnmhlest ofthe despised advocates for the rights of the people, would pluck the proud est brilliant from his diadem, to adorn his simple cap.

 Whether the popularity of Gov. Pope Will be much strengthened by his late let ter IS to me doubtful; certain 1t is, that by hls own showing it cannot be much injur- ed.
