The Arkansas advocate., 1836-10-14

were ordered, at once commenced tine most netssses unproyoked and unjusihable warfare upon the char 0i Judge White. ssl could be made or ever was made against any man. He has been charged with deserton of his friends and principles, being hostile 10 Gen. Jackson and his administration. 1he painest man in country knows that Gen.. Jackson Is not cdldate, and consequently he asks nothing more for himselfirom bis irends.-He has in q manner worthy of hinsel nearly completed his term, and accomplish ed all the measures he undertook. He will at he ex- {piration of his term, scarcely have left any thing finished The right of selecting his successor now devoyes the people, ard every man has right 10 do as he peases on that subject Gen. Jackson has nothing to do with 1t unless indeed admit his right to appoint his successor, but this is doctrine have not yet heard approved by the American people. We have indeed read of Roman Emperor who de- sired to appoint his successor. Such power will surely be assumed by al American Psesident. Is Judge White then an enemy of Gen. Jackson be- cause he allows his to be run for the Presiden- cy? The peoples and not Gen Jackson are respon- sibe to themselves and poserilg fer the future mea- sures ofthe government. How futile then and grossly false is this charge against Judge White, for his
 mics do not point ont single instance in which Judge White opposed one Democratic or Republican princi- pie or measure of the present administration.
 He has been called q Federalist, tefy, and every other name by ywhich the menias of iaction and pow CT hopedto prejudice the public against him. without the least regard to truth or usticefor they ad- duce the proofs Take Judge Whites own words on this subject-sFho real offence have committed is "not m abandonment of my principles but because "would not abandon them. Not because oceanic

 tunes and their sacred honor and bring eproach up- s'on memory when numbered with the dead. "l have no controversy with the Chief Magistrate. "aspre 10 nothing which he wants If there is any ''coniroyersy, 1t IS between my eountry-men who ''solicited the use of my name and him. This is my "whoe offence"
 The following characteristic and frank avowa of his principles from his pen, accord with the feel ngs of evefy true republican.
 "So far as I am capable of understanding my owt "poltical opinions, they conform to the Jetferso .'nian creed
 'sI am for limiting Executive patronage, so that no "o1lcer holding his office a the will of the President "can be displaced because he will conform to the l "Presidents wishes in elections.
 "lt ought to be made high offence n office holders "to their official ationwh view to influence the "votes of electors.
 l lsi and ought to be considered, high political "oence in Chief Magistrate 10 use any of the powers "conierred upon him by his staon for the purpose of influencing public opinion in the choice of his "sor, or in the choice of members either House of "Congress.

 4" am against imposing Continuing any tax, direct
 or indirect for the purpose of bringing money into the ''treasury; but when there~s accumulation beyond ''the wants of the Federal Governmen am for dis 'trbung such surplus, rateably, among the States, "and the Constitution does not authose such disri- aOafor "be conferred
 "Now, SIT, let the friends of the administration put "down their creed, and if t differs from mine i'll any 'hing material, they and not I; will be found on the federal side.

 That all caucatses combinations of men, whose
 obeetl IS to create control public opinion in the telection of President or Vice President, should be "disconntenanced and put down.''
 Gan any man point to such declaration from M an Buren No. He is the pet of the office holders and the caucus, and would not allow hls name to be run unless nominated by caucus. He cared not so much for the will of the people as for the caucus of of ice holders and designing men.
 IL has been said that Judge White was opposed to the interests o AFhansas in voting for what Is called Mir. Clays land bill This IS another miserable false hood The bill had no relation to the price of tae public and; but was merely intended to take the public money out of the hands of the banks in which 1t was yng' and could not be used by tue government, and 10 put u ID the hands of the people. 10 whom It right fully belonged. Whilst it remained in ,he hands of the banks, rich men and speeulators could get it. to purchase large tracts of the public land to oppress and lnJure the people, who could not use their own money ltis boldly asserted that Ar.
