The Arkansas advocate., 1835-07-10

people of Arkansas to believe for moment that the cowardly inuendos of an anonymous llibeller can work us injury.
 One of the myrmidons of the Gazette re- quests us to make no comments on the Balti- more Convention. We have no doubt that they would be glad that we should spare it, Be it known, therefore, that the advocates of Van Buren and legitimacy in this place, are attempting to make a stand and produce an impression in favor of the New Yorker It is most hopeless job, and they are well aware that they have no chance of succeed ing, unless they can muzzle this press, and keep it's voice from being heard. They are aware that there is an overwhelming majority in this Territory, in favor of White, and they viii leave no means untriea to create an in- violence of party abuse will again be put in requisition by them, and the decent and peaceable manner in which for the last year the political contest has been conducted, will give way to the former state of things, per sonal abuse, and attacks upon private eharac- ter. Much as we deprecate such a state of things, our duty is plain before us, and will be performed. If such a contest is to be commenced, there will be blows to give as well as to take, and we hold ourselves ready. It appears, then, that b votes were given in Convention, to Van Buren and Johnson, as the vote Of TENNESSEE. fs IS undeniabie that not one delegate was elected from that State--and that she goes, almost to 8 man, against Van Buren, It appears by card in the Nashville Union, that Edmund Fucker, of Rutherford county, had the effrontery to give, in his own person, the whole vote of Tennessee. The following is an extract from his card 1t needs no comment.
 To the Editor ofthe Union.
 Sir-You will discover my name intro- duced into the proceedings of the Baltimore Convention. To prevent all misunder- standing, make the following statement. 1 was not delegated to act in that Conven- ton. happened to De in Baltimore at the time of its sitting, and after the Delegates from the different States had their creden- tials examined by the Committee appointed for that purpose, there appeared to be no one present representing Tennessee. This circumstance seemed to be deeply regretted by many, and upon its being mentioned that was there and Tennessean, it was suggested by some that might vote, which l accordingly did.
 Massachusetts gave If votes--and it is certain that Jacksonism has no foothold in that State. The men who were at the Con vention, as Delegates, are, every one, in a minority in their respective districts The Convention was on the point of rejecting the whole vote. It is not improbable, however, that Massachusetts may go for Van Buren, the Federal candidate.
 Two of the delegates from Illinois, are cit izens oi Kentucky. !.;siiIicyy, Rcy Of Of lMI;ssc-; seems to have been there in about the same manner as Fucker of Tennessee.
 How the Delegate from Arkansas, the re- doubtabbe Eskridge, got there, the Secret Junto best knows It seems to be sore sub iect to them, and we forbear to handle 1t. It is stated that the Virginia delegation pissed, when the vote for Vice President was declared--and 1t is certain that they protest ed against 1t. Their protest fared about as we'll as the Presidents.
 We will give Van Buren, for the election, the votes of Maine, New Hampshire, Vor- mont, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Indiana, and Missouri--95 in all. White will get Rhode Island, Delaware, Maryland, So. Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana-s7 in all. It is now almost certain that Virginia gives 1 him her vote, and if so so will North Caro- lina--making l25. We will not give up Massachusetts, our own old State, yet, which will make l39 The Presidents course to- wards Ohio and Michigan, will lose Van Bu- ren the former, and also Illinois, and the quarrels between the Wolfites and Muhles, in Pennsylvania, make the vote of that State doubtful-and White would on this calcula- tion be elected. We have, therefore, every thing to hope for. If this Territory becomes n State, she goes for White, while Michigan lgoes for Van Buren. Up then, to the breach, dear friends.
