. ,.zf f--gas [From the Washington Sum-
!. A LETTER PROM JUDGE WHITE.
1t is with feeling of pride, that we copy
the following letter of Judge White, from
tho Washington (Tenn.) Republican, ad-
dressed to Judge Emerson, to show to the
world the singleness of purpose, which
aetuates our candidate for the Presidency.
Without thought 10 conceal, or an object
to accomplish, but the good of his oonsiltu-
ents, he moves on in all the granduer ot
simplicity and truth, towards the highest
honors in the gift the free people, which
will most assuredly be bestowed upon him
as token of their appreciation, for his long
and faithful service. Each day serves only
to increase his popularity while, on the 9TH
er hand, the "pst of the President" is In
voIved in worse than a Cenerian labyrinth,
by the multitude of opinions he is obliged to
advocate, protest and disclaim. Having
struck every chord on the political Tyre, he
is not sure of u disinterested friend in the
ranks of his warmest partizans; and while
those partizans shout for his election, he
trembles, lest the people should have the
scales of Gen. Jackson's popularity drop
from their eyes, which would enable them
to see Marian Van Buren, in his own dress:
but this mist is clearing away, and we shall
soon find, thatthe very individuals whowe
loudest in their praise of the "Grimalki," Of
Kinderhook, will be the first to denounce
for his duplicity. There is not one single
prominent act for his life-each one has
had its counter and if he has ever "bowed
warm" the next blast has been "cold."
Has he ever voted for a measure, it is GER
I tain that he has voted against it: The op-
! posite always stand in praise, like the
!, Siamese twins, indissolubly connected. But
= to the letter:
!, SENATE CHAMBER, April 9Th. 1895.
3 Dear Sir-We are progressing in our
j. Legislative business slowly. Many ques.
: tons of much interest have been, and yet
: are under consideration. The bill to dis.
e tribute a portion of the avalls of our public
r Lands among the respective States, is still
: debated here. 1t is subject Of increasing
] interest While We owed national debt
5 AID had no more money in the Treasury
than our reasonable wants for the common
purpose Of government enabled US to use
: always felt disposed to acquiesce in the
opinion that we ought not distribute.-NoW
we find ourselves in new and strange con-
.. dition. On the first April, VIC had in thC
! Treasury $23,000,0O0. The quarter com
mencing lst January, and ending 3ls
! March, produced $l 100000. Ii we sup
pose the remaining three quarters to aver
age a like sum for each quarter, we shal
y have at the end Of the year $33, ,OO0,O0'
! more. Add this the 80 millions we nov
: have, and the amount is slxty-flye millions
l Our stock in the Bank of the United State
i we will probably receive, and it is nov
"a worth seven millions and half Of dollars
3 Add this to the sixty-fge millions, and W
y have an aggregate at the end Of the yea
ofI equal to seventy-two millions Eve huudre
:. thousand dollars. 1t may SO happen thu
the remaining three quarters may not equf
the receipts of the first; let US therefore, d.
duct for falling off, three millions and
y half and we still have 90 millions of dolla
Y Y in the Treasury and what can, what ougl
Z veto do with it? W
y Our expenditures for all ordinary purpo
II es, ought net TO exceed fifteen millioI
" Of dollars Suppose we take for distrlb
, . ton, as the Bill proposes, twenty-sev'
NC milIions--these two sums will dispose
only 40 millions, Deduct this, and we ST
.a have disposed Of % millions in this tire
tie sury. a5a n
lie THIS sum is more than thrice the amou
ny, which think can well be expended in
'ed creasing the Army and Navy, and bnildil
but and arming Fortfcations.
cc' The squestion then precented is, VII
up ought we to dog examined this subje
ucT with all the care in my power, and satisi
per my own mind, that we have undoabted po
lta- er, to make the distribution, and that
&c, are imperatively called upon to exercise
the Ibid notice at liberty on a subject Of
ties much Importance to give my vote withc
ale the reasons for it; therefore on yesterd;
ian 1 declared my opinion in favour Of
mo Bill, and the reason upon which it
ems founded
by ! should exceedingly regret difference
iote opinion on SO important a subject with
y! constituents. fatter myself no such I
y ference will occur; but if Il should, feel
! q confident that without this distribution q
resi- ~ thing, which ought to be near and d
!, AZ 70 ffeemen, would be put at hazard, ths
.hs shall patiently wait until time and reflect
cit- will enable them to view the subject in
