MR. EDfToR-ln addition to the many writers of the day, permit me to occupy a short space Tn your columns, in reply to the panegyrest of Gov. Pope, Secretary Fulton, and the able lawyer "Tallev- rand. As " Justice" appears to be pre- em1nently devoted to support the political character of Gov. Pope, my present re- marks Will be principally directed to the same object agree with :" Justice'' that the appointment of John Pope, of K en- lucky, as the Governor of Arkansas, was neither sought, nor expected by him. He had a higher station in view-and great was hls modification when he discovered that President Jackson. held not his talents Tn as high Veneration, as he himself did, Disappointed Tn not obtaining a foreign mlsslon, he at first determined to reject the appointment, but with the assistance of h1s friends, he consoled himself with the calculation that as Arkansas would soon l emerge from her Territorial Government. and assume her station among the states of the Union, he would from her procure a seat Tn the Senate of the United States. an obJect for which he has been vainly trying for many years past III Kentucky--as soon as he and his friends had arrived at this happy conclusion, he accepted the appoint- ment. Believing that his great fame as political leader, and as table orator

 would make the people of Arkansas shrink

 into nothingness before him, he determine ed to let them knew how low they stood

One pro- mlnent trait in the course of Gov. Pope. is too evident to have escaped the obserya- tion Of any one--popularity.

Almost immediately after

 the Governors arrival in October llst, he
