 A writer in two of the last numbers of the Arkansas Gazette, over the signature of" Jaw-Boae,' , has made a futile attempt 10 refnte certain charges aliedged to have been made against thesSecretary of Arkan- sas, by some writers for the Advocate which rcfutatlon is so unconnected, and adeup ofsuch a tissue of round assertions and flat contradictions of himself, that I can scarcely frame an answer to him: but if his essast can he placed in a tangible form, will attempt reioinder.

 In the first place, he seems to have put the matter at issue between the Editor ot the Advocate, and the Secretary, at rest by roundly asserting that it was ssaoaaace'' Tn the Editor that caused his hostility to Judge Fulton. This round assertion of this writer, It seems to me IS perfectly untena- ble. In my opinion, or according to what CAR understand of the matter, he has giy- ep an unfair statement of circumstances relative to this procedure. Mr. Bertrand $ anImadversion upon this part of Judge Full tons conduct did not arise from the Iudre's not having given him certain job of print ing, as has been enormously stated. but because the printing had once been fairly given to him by Judge of the Superior Court in session, and afterwards meanly wrested from him by Secretary Fulton, to gratiiy paltry feeling of revenge, and to punish him for daring to be independent; while 1t afforded tho Secretary an opportu- nity of bestowing larger reward on the bending and obsequions Editor of the Ga zette. This writer asserts that the charge was made against Judge Fulton, as Secre- tary of the Territory, for political effect. ibis ] deny, and do not make the denial tDitltom proof! It may be seen by refer- ence to the s' advocates of that date, that the article alluded to, expressly says:- " As the Assistant Counsel of sam c. Roane." Who Is Sam c. Roane9 He Is U. '. District Attorney, and Judge Fulton was considered as his Assistant Counsel, and not in his official capacity as the Sec retary of Arkansas. 1t Is very probable that aIr.

 Although my assertion, that the Secrefa- ry belongs to fa rty has has been fatty con tradicted by this very confident writer, yet he adduces no proof to shew to the con trary, and seems to be satisfied that he has convicted me of an error by his bare asser- ton. That the Territory of Arkansas is divided into two distinct parties, the most unpractised observer can immediately dis cover-and although < Jaw Bone'' seems so blindly and wiIfulIy tomis take my mean ing, as to which of these parties has been for long time predominant--the good sense of the people does not require it to he told in piainer language, than t,ata Is the < Ashley Party" This is the party which he, with sucb nnhlushing earoniery , says. is the ss party of the pEoplr. par ty Y Vhich by means the most unhaliowed,
