We have read, with great pleasure, the publication of Col. Oldham, which we trans fer to our columns from the Van Buren h. telligencer. That publication shows that the oGcious efforts of the Gazette and its corre- spondent, to produce misunderstanding be- tween prominent individuals of the democrat- ic party, are as hopeless as they are disrepu- table. Whatever Col Sevier may have writ ten or spoken of that committee, nothing was ever further from his intention than to cast censure upon either Speaker Oldham or Pre- sident Adams. They, or either of them, so far as he ever understood, had but little if any agency in the ultimate organization of commit ant, f f Col Col had n.lomI that one or the other of those presiding off, cers in our late Legislature had appointed euery member whose name is attached to the report, he would have attributed such action on their part to nadvertance, and not to any design to preclude him from a fair investiga- ton of his conduct In that event, Colonel Sevier would have used the word sprejadiccd,' , instead of .packed' committee, which, pro bably, after all, under the circumstances, would have been better appellation.

 To the Editors of tte 4fdaasas httelligeacer:

 GENTLEMEN-It appears to be matter of anxious curiosity with some, particularly with the Editor of the Little Rock Gazette, and his correspondent, {: N orth Arkansas,7 as to the difference between Col. Sevier and my self This curiosity Tam willing to gratlIy, and will inform those gentlemen, that there {. exists nothing but personal and political ffiendship.p Those feeling any interest in relation to the appointment of the committee upon the subject of the Real Estate Bank, and the sale of the bonds by Sevier and Will Hanson, will see, by reference to the journals of the last session, that but one single mem- Der, originally appointed by me, acted; that four others were afterwards appointed by me, to fill the places of the four who had with drawn from the committee. They will also see that six or eight other members were add ed to the committee, upon the motion ol members. It will also be seen that the com mittee was a joint committee, and that the President of the Senate Is responsible for their appointment, or for those he did ap- point. He can say what he designed by the annnintment of the committee the nert ot the Senate. am not responsible for the political character of the committee, nor for the refusal of members to act upon 1t, nor for the action of the committee. Nor am aware that Col. Sevier ever charged me with having .' stocked committee upon him D and whenever he does make that charge, 1t will be time for me to repel 1t.

 ought to be thankful to the Editor of the Gazette, for throwing the mantle of his mighty influence over me, to protect me from the attacks of my political friends. l am, how ever, willing for the Gazette to confne its operations to the ehanne! for which 1t was purchased, leaving me to defend myself with out ;;:ts support, whenever l am attacked by friend or foe.

 am, respectfully,

 your obed't servant
