From the Globe.
GOVERNOR POPE.
This gentleman, who was in effect exiled from Kentucky by Mr. Clay's persecutions, is now, with a sort of mock sympathy, represented by the Lexington Reporter, as suffering proscription. It says:
"We noticed some time since, that Mr. Fulton had been appointed Governor of the Territory of Arkansas. The simple annunciation of the fact by the Government Official unexplained, implies that the late Governor John Pope, had been superseded."
Mr. Clay's organ then goes on to argue, that Mr. Pope has been superseded because he wrote a letter to the President in favor of the Bank of the United States.
It is true Governor Pope did write a letter to the President, which prevented his re-nomination as Governor of Arkansas. He wrote to the President that it was not convenient for him to continue at the seat of the Government of Arkansas, and desired that when his term of office expired, he might not be re-nominated. The President complied with his request.
