The Arkansas advocate., 1836-06-10

Judge White has been accused of voting apa;,.. .u appropriations for Arkansas. Now, it is verS sas al that the yeas and nays have been called pno1 ssoOn proPriation for this Territory We have looked oaps the journals of several years and find ha, tbe w .ssf generally passed .he Senate by common consen, silent vote. The yeas ard nays have seldom haas. ken more than once, Con such mattersl in eacb ~. @' sion. That Judge White has once or twice =. s.e s against appropriations for Arkansas is no aa.,h4 ed Many men have thought that the same reasons h.sa induced Jackson to Ueto the Maysvie Road hill a a equally applicable to roads, &c. in Territory T were IS. we venture to say, nian in the Senate who " not, at one time or another, voted against some na. . priation for Arkansas. We have sent bienn;aIr r'0 average about fty memorials to Wbig. Wasbings..'O,a on They are got up by the members to secure votss :: their own countless with not the most remote ,des "e @ their being granted. part them % to comm,,s.s - most ot them put in the fire-some bills rana'. ed-and sometimes member feels bound to sa,, against particular b Generally they pass u5b0u. o'. question. Thus, otl the 30ih of January, 1927 Az bill approprating fifteen thousand dollars for
 ing road from Fort Smlh to Nachitoches. was up in the U s. Senate. On the question of ing the bill for hiid reading, Mir Fan B,,ren sS against it. as also did Judge White. They votad ;a company with Dickerson, King and Woodbwy, sa good Jackson men now. ~
 In the House of Representatives, on the ls,h of June, 1884, hlr: Sever asked tf action of the Hss several Territorial bills. Mr. Polk obiected saS called up the appropriation bills The amendments of the committee of the whole to the appropriation h;s thereupon taken up, and the first item was G ns 4emouat q the rGft 70 Red riuer. This item had or gnally been S30,000 The committee of the whole had raised 1t to $l00,00O. Polk, Hubbard and y;n ton opposed the amendment. MT. Garland uroed tba amendment stating that, by Capt. Shreves estimate that sum would be required. Vinton thought the land would all be taken up by settlers, and it would not go into the hands of spectators, at ST or SIS na. acre. Government would not make much bv # and ought just 10 let the raft alone. Mr. Polk said sos eco was enough to remove it, and he trusted the House would reject the amendment The amendment was accordingly rejected by vote of I21 to6O Mr. Gar. land then moved to insert $50 900 instead of $50 Oo0 Air Polk objected, and the motion was lost The bill then went to the Senate, where the item for removing the raft was increased from $3o,0o0 to $50.ooo. Mr. Polk moved to non-concur in the amendment and his motion rejected
 Yet wa hear not word llsped against Mir. Polk oh no. He is a Van Buren man-and the "faithu' here were about illuminating the town when he was elected speaker They would have done 1t, too, had thefe been enough of them to have made any light all
 The most foolish assertion made by our opponents, among the many foolish which they make IS, that Judge White is opposed to the admission of Arkansas They forget or take pains not to remember his votes when bill was pending in the Senate, authorsDgu us to form Constitution
 May 125 1884, in U s. Senate, the bill authorizing the people of Arkansas to form Constitution, &c. was taken up In committee of the whole. Mr. Ewing moved to lay 1t on the table, and the motion cared by vote ef p to 20 Among those who voted in the nsgdtice, were Judge White and John Tylers ESsn Jour. p. 262.
 On the 26th of June, Mr. Tipton moved to take up the same bill The motion was carried, IT to l5 Among those who Voted to take 1t up, was judg White. Mr. Tyler not present.
 Again, when the bill for our admission was takenu5 in the Senate during the present session, great obc ton was made to 1t, and there was even danger Its tuition concerning our boundaries Judge White, in order 10 save the bill, moved to amend it, making the boundary definite and certain, which was done by an ufdatnons vofe+and then the bin passed to third readlng-and afterwards passed the Senate, Judge White voting for 1t. If there be one man in the Se nate, to whom more than another we owe the passage ot the bls 1t IS Judge White-and yet the Globe cries out he was opposed to our admission. He voted agalnst Michigan, because her Constitution allowed foreigners and free negroes to vote-and because she claimed more territory than belongs to her-and there fore, say these logicians he is opposed to Arkansas Fudge! Van Buren and his supporters at first ntend ed to oppose Arkansas, but they thought that they did so, they would certainly lose her vote and that poor chance better than none, they would let her into the Union, and try the influence of the Treasury We shall see whether the people will be humbuggcd.
