If any man wishes the true lncamcnts Of II. L.
White let him read the articles from the Globe
first page. Let him consider his for voting
against fancy, Kendall and Sevcnsonsec the manner
in which he has Lcen "sed mp-and ask himself 9 Can
this man. thus nnj"st, thus nasty thus weak. thus led
away by his passions, be the fit Chief Magistrate OF
free people: lie betrays his former trIrnds-woocs

Of the Wings Mr.. Calhoun Mr. Clay would ma.
mage him. with the most perfect ease. His power would
be like the Genus of the Lamp i'll the hands Of Aladdin.
No wonder that the Wing should say Of him that Elect
ed. il elected al all by tile votes OF the Wings, he will
naturally and necessarily select his CounciIlos from
their ranks, and modify his according their
views.
Tie reader has but to read these structures from the
Globe, along with the following extract OF letter from
member al Washing tunand Ic viii see what sort OF Il
politician Hugh Lawson White is:
There las been man more uniformly in his seat
than Judge White. Never has he, until the present
session, voted against any nomination OF the President
within my recollection. Both the denominations OF
Gwin and of the U. 5. Bank Directors supported
by him. Since you wrote you have seen his
for voting against recent nominations Out OF lis own
mouth does he stand condemned.
