The Arkansas advocate., 1836-10-14

nonets It part of their tact in elechoneerlng to deceive the people n every way possible. Believe no assertion. Examine Mr. Van Buren's course tor yourselves. Determine your duty and let your votes show the result We are told by MT. Van Buren's friends that he is Democrat, Republican n Prinei- pie. The toia falsity of this assertion will appear
 from he above statement of facts showing his Prlnei- pes. and his votes with he Federaists.
 We are again toldthat Gen Jackson favors his cleo ton. We are to judge for ourselves in this natter and are solely responsible for the votes we give Gen Jackson is not Mr. Van Buren since Gen. Jackson came into power has been devoted personal and po- lca friend of the President 1t IS well known 10 The whole people, that General Jackson will at all times do every thing in his power for his personal friend Gen. Jackson's support is through friendship than on account of Mir. Van Baren's principles.
 Mr. Van Buren has said iit IS glory enodgh to have served under such chefp as Geperal Jackson! He does not claim glory for having served his coantry- no, 1t is for having served man in the nation. An Amecans only boast Is, that he has served his coun try mot that he has bowed down to and served day General Jackson's hoster and shee-back may boast that they too have served him faithfully Is Mir. Van Bufen ambitious to be the rival of those distinguished attendants about the Generals person? Who there that does not blush 10 hear an American such an expression? Is such it to be he head of ton Of lreemen-o i'll the seat of Washington or Jefferson!
 Iis in this way Mr. Van Buren has secured the SUD-
 
 allow him eyerto abandon q friend. Gen. Jaclsonhas gained the highest honors from the only nation of free men earth, by never submitting to any Mir. Van Buren wishes 10 gain the by claiming to have served man, not his country. How different the men!
 You have, Fellow citizens, sketch of Mr. Van Bu- rens politics. His paftizans may call this detail abuse of hn--or islander. Those are his own acts, and he and his friends cannot complain of the truth IL is abuse or slander unless MT. Van Buren has abused himself.
 We turn with pleasure to the plain and well under stood character and principles of fellow citizen of Tennessee, HUGH LAWSON WHITE. No la bored commentary IS necessary to lay his character before the people of Arkansas. Ii is we'll known to all A long life spent in the western country that ever conspicuous and brilliant the midday sun, on ac- count et hs private virtues and varied public services has rendered his and worth familiar to the whole people of Arkansas.

 The soldier of the Creek will tell you that 'sdur- 'ing the darkest period of the Creek campaign, when aSen Jackson was surrounded with difficulties, such .as would have crushed any other man, his brave men "eoniendng not only with savages, but with famine "and wani, and sustaining life roots and acorns, "liugh l.. White left his home, although holding at the tune high and honorable offices, and with a single
 eonpapon, started for the wilderness and after several "dayS and nights of peous adventure, found the Ge- "nefai's eneanpnent.
 Learning the distressed condition of the artny he feraeed his steps through the wilderness and relieved the suterngs et the troops by forwarding supplies of provisions, purchased at his own cost. These are serViees oi which patriot mght boast. How different rom the service ot the iaerng courier andmaster 1 oi the drawing room
 The distinction he attained at the bar in early life. his iaitexlble justice and Roman like firmness in dis charging the high and important duties of the bench are loo well known to need remark. His unimpeach- ed integrity, distinguished services and high attain ments, had senced the tongue ot islander, and his u- ambitious, straight forward and consistent course in pubic he, had restrained the assaults of envy and maee, until his ieow-citizens of the southern and. western states considering him their most distinguish ed citizen and faithful public servant--and feeling as sured that aresidenee from boyhood among them and an identity ot feeling and interest with them would render their liberties and rights under the constitution secure Tn bis hands, urged him 10 allow his name to be placed betor the people candidate for the Pre- sIdency Judge White to this application returned the only answer which true friend 10 the rights of the people ceuld.--Iha the choice was with the people themselves and they wished to support him he would mot depye them of an opportunity do so.
