The Arkansas advocate., 1835-02-13

tsThe country is torn by contending fac tions-sectlon is arraYed against section, and neghbor against neighbor. Party has nsurped the dominion of patriotism, and threatens the overthrow of our institutions by undermining the basis on which they rest. It cannot be concealed that all though the late elections have sustained the measures of the administration, and must have convinced the opposition that no candidate put in nomination by that party can be successful, there Is, on the part of a large majority of the people an unwilling
 ness to surrender the elective franchise into the hands of any cabal or caucus, whether of Congress or of office holders and we should despair of the Republic, if the peo- lpe themselves were unable to put candi-
 date in nomination without the intervention
 of such unauthorized assembleges.
 A President thus nominated and elected
 as the candidate of such a party, will, of
 necessity, be the President of party and
 controlled by its leaders. We will give our
 support to the candidate who is nominated
 by the people--a man whose public life has been consistently patrlotlc--who has at all times been the advocate of economy in the public expenditure private life IS
 without reproach, and who, if elected, will
 administer the Government for the people l-who will go into office under no re-
 straints and subjectlto no control but the
 considerations growing out of the high res-
 ponsibilities of his off .ial station The SUN will support the election of HUGH LAWSON WHITE, of Tennessee. We ] are aware that tue leaders of the party have fixed their eyes onianother candidate-lhat the machinery of a national convention is | prepared to put him in nomination, under the pretenee ttnt such convention Is ne- cessary to keer the party united. Our can didate has been put in nomination by the t people and by the most decided friends of
