The Arkansas advocate., 1836-04-29

2 We are solely indebted to the TRENDS OF THE AegINIsTHATfo and of " essrs AN BuREN and JOHNSON, for the passage of the bill for our admission through that body ---and that Judge WHIrE voted against us, and with Clay, Calhoun S1 Go. on every paItj rofe that was taken. His voting for Arkansas, on the final passage of the bill f for her admission, entities him 10 no thanks from her citizens, as he had previously left no effort untried to prevent the passage of ihe bill for the admission of Michigan"

 There are some singular statements in the above extract Alls fair in politics. we suppose-but this is really too bad. Solely indebted to the friends of the Adninistra- tion Now, among the names of those who voted for the final passage of the bill, we find Calhoun, Etoiag of Ohio, .Haaguns, and Preston. These are certainly no friends of l the Administration. But the Gazette fur ther tells it's readers that Judge White vot- ed against US on every pany uoie that was taken.' That paper counts largely on the credulity of its readers. Now, the very first vote in any way concerning us, was on the question Of referring-when Judge White voted aoih the friends of the Administration, to refer to select Committee. The Gazette cannot we'll deny this--for 1t allowed, a week or two since, the fact to be so, but said, for sooth that he did 1t to saee appearaaces.'- That vote was a party vote, (the Gazette at the time said so, and White did aof vote against us. Judge White afterwards offer ed an amendment to the biii--defining our Western boundary-which the Senate adopt ed anunmoaslg--the bill then passed to be engrossed without opposition--and on the f. nal passage, he voted for us. Now, where Els his' party vote against us There were but two votes taken-one on referring, and the other on the final passage-and on both he poted for us St. Jerome once wrote treatise to show that 1t was laudable to lie for the good of the Church. If Blair would write one to prove that 1t Is laudable to do so for the good of the political church militant, it would greatly relieve the tender eonseien- ces of his distant little satellites.
 But we know how the Gazette will try to get off He voted against Michigan, and that s the same thing as voting against us. May be itis--butw we can'tsee 1t. Michigan and Arkansas stood on different grounds She formed her government and put it in op- eration without authority-and sent her Se- nators and Representative to Congress, de- manding admittance--she claims in her Con- stitution a portion of three several States that Constitution is contrary to the Consttu- tion of the United States, because 1t allows aliens to vote. Our proceedings were liable to no such objections as these.
 But the simple truth is, that it was we'll known in Washington, before the subject was acted upon, that Judge White would vote for us. We have in our possession a letter from Van Buren man there, dated \ pril lst. He says that White voted against Mi ohigan, 6at aooutd votc .f0,. as.
 The Gazette has hoisted it's colors-V Van B,erea aud Johlsson. ssUp with the black flag, down with the blue! :" We are glad to see it. Welike to contend with an open en- emy. No skulking under the hatchways in stormy weather. Your neutral papers arc like neutral men~-not much use to any body. On great political subjects, we hold every man dishonest or hypocritical, who does not take one side or the other. So, come on, neighbor!--you for haabHg, caucus Akl Daa Baren--we for the People, the righi qf choice and H5hae. The people will dismasf your Dutch tub directly.
 The Van Buren papers pretend to believe that White has no chance for election. They takc great pains to make it known. If it be so, it will be found out soon enough. They vilify and abuse him great deal--more than any sensible manis in the habit of doing to one who is not in his way, nor likely to be- as they pretend to believe White is not The truth is, that Van Buren's strength is melting away. The weather is squally to windward Pennsylvania has jumped out of the traces alroady-and some other of the teaders are restiif.
