TO THE PUBLIC.
diateiy after the appearance Of the first No. of " Jaw-Bone,o not to notice the eff fnsions of any anonymous writer, that might appear through the affiliated Press of ". F. Woodruff. But circumstances alter cases, and that determination has been changed. The 1st No. of Jaw Bone, '':was puerile effort, but the subse- quent numbers, or at least the two last, have assumed much more formidable character, and require at my hands pass ing notice.

 From the first to the last No. of that pro- duction, they have been filled with the most violent vituperation, and abuse of the private character of some of our most use- fal, worth, and respectable citizens. His most yindictive and malevolent wrath has also been poured upon me, with bounti- ful hand. Why, among other unofending citizens, has he thought it necessary to as-s sail me, and by his foul and malicious false hoods, attempt to blight the prospects O. : young man, striving to make an honest and honorable support! Wasit because dared to establish another Press in Arkansas, without first consulting him and his friendsa l taoa0 him a0ett; know hlm to be the master-spirit that controls the Gazette; I. know him to possess as much uncondition- al influence over the supposed Editor of that print, as has master over his own slave; ! know he writes, or furnishes the matter for the communications signed !" Jaw-Bone;" know him to be one of the most wickedly designing men in Arkansas. and know, too, that so long as he is a ci- tizen of this Territory, so long will Arkan= sas be distracted with violent party feuds. Was not this same ss Jaw Bone, :" the chief actor 5ehiad the curtain, in the scenes of '27, to which he with so much efrontery alludes? Was he not the cause, and the only cause, of the heart-burnings and bick- erings that grew up, and by his insiduous machinations, brought on a fatal result be- tween certain distinguished citizens in  the year '27? Isay he was, and the people say he was. And say farther, that the several numbers ofts ] w-Bone, ''have been written by him, for the express, and only purpose of producing recurrence of those most detestable scenes-scenes which no man but one callous to every feeling, and with scared conscience, would wish to see reacted. But if Arkansas should again anhappily become the theatre of those scenes, take my word for 1t, this man will not be known in them--he holds too sa-. cred the first law Of nature. Like the scenes of '27 he will p36a and the notori- ous Woodruff erecute.

 With these predatory remarks, will now advert to the charges preferred against me in the third and last two numbers of "Jaw- Bone," and make such animadvertions upon them, as in my judgment, may think they deserve.

 If my memory serves me, in his third No. s'Jaw-Bone" commences his first, and opening paragraph, by declaring that his sole object has been the defence of Secre- tary Fulton, against certain charges pre- ferred against him by the Editorof the Ad- vocate, and others, and that having very happily succeeded in refuting them to his oson satisfaction, he will proceed to the dis section of the Governors official charae- ter, and lay it, as he says, fairly before the people. In relation to this Secretary mat ter, It is cniy necessary to say,5 that the charges preferred against this Perfect .Nan, are as strong as Holy writ, and that "Jaw- Bone," and " his associates in calumny,' ,, have totally failed to refute them to the satisfaction of the People of Arkansas They know him to be guilty of the charges made against him, and think 1t entirely unnecessary to reiterate stubborn facts which would be only calculated to threw our amiable Secretary into fever.

 "Jaw-Bone,o in several of his num- bcrs, has evinced much solicitude to know whether signed the petition in favor of Col. Caldwell, for Clerk of the Superior Court, in opposition to Mir. Field. I did. And at the time was well aware that l was signing petition recommending to office, an anti-Jackson. man. ] did it because I preferred him to MT. Field, and would do so again un- der ssmsiar circumstances. Does the man, who it is supposed will fafher : Jaw Bone" judge me by himself 1?
