pie of this Territory have suffered set oi 1 men, ,undistinguished by talent, and unnoted ky services oE any kind done to the people, to tread upon their necks to power, until i they have begun fo quarrel over the spells. i When you, sir, is one Of many honest men disgusted with the domineeHng aristocracy i and graspna avariee oi faction Of peopie Ioging democrats, dared to seoede from that facton, and io establish paper oppo- sel to ii, and devoted to what you believed to be truth and political honesty. you were im- mediateiy assaiied with virulence, as the organ of factiens minority striving against the eeilimates of the Territory. The old cry of hefesy was raised against you, and assuming that they.were undoubtedly right, and as undoubtedly entitled to all the hon. DTS and emoluments which grateful peo- pie could heap upon its dear lovers, they accused you of unlawful rebellion against your liege lords. Ne had not heard til then, that the doctrine of legitimacy pre- l vailed in this land. The most unblushing impudence was displayed in the language held by the orthodox print towards yeu- and, gifted himself with purity of charac- ] Ter which an angel might envy, and q scutch- con stainless as the sky, the editor of that print hesitated not to apply to you and your paper, epitbets rarely before then issuing from the mouth of decent and respectable editor. From that time to this, the same weapons have been employed against you and yoar friends. Ever cried out against as q iactious minority. you have been false- l ly represented as body of men bent on in- turing the people, to the advancement and aggrandzement of one man. With une- qualled wit, the legitimate editor represent ed whole Legislature as bought up by a few slices of bacon, and gave to your friends nickname most honorable 10 its il- ventor. The people believed all--and stuff which in other places wonld have ruined the paper in which it appeared and the party which it pnrporled 10 defend--even the ve- riest ridiculous hunbug, with not even the semhlance of probability, was swallowed for gospel Il was q lksc, and siaadar, inc assertion that the party to which you and belong, was devoted 10 any one nan--and II IS time that the people should know it.-- We were never either pledged or bound 10 support any one man--neither will we d. so for any other reason than that he can concentre the whole strength, of the oppo- stlon to an unholy and unclean faction.- It Is time that this islander should sink back into the source whence 1t emanated, and which IS most it to be is grave. II Is lime that the people should ask themselves whether the tone assumed by the. Gazette, and the presanptaens iInpudenee and in- suifefabIe arrogance with which that paper and its partizans have asserted their right 10 the votes and the support of the people, has not resemhIed the claim which the planter sets up over his trembling slaves. Ks tho inc votes of the men of this country be- ioaged to them, they have marked as an in- fflngenent of their rights, and with kind of quiyerIng anger, every one winch has departed from them. Will not calm and rational discussion of these things he read even If it appear io your paper While the ssladlators, worthy antagonists of each oth- CT, are sqnabhing over the spoils, let Us try if the 'sstlll small voice" of Truth may not 1 be heard. .53
