Judge White is playing the mis-
,.b;ef with the Locos in Tennessee,
and the Banner says that the Locos
Ilook discomftted already, and expect
defeat. If we can judge from the
s;rns Of the times, the Wing cause
yy2;ll be as triumphant as ever in Ten
nessee. and we think the coming cleo
lions will show our opponents that
thew have nothing to hope from this
State. Judge White delivered most
mastery speech at Knoxville on the
4th instant, and we beg leave to call
The attention of all men Of all parties
to the following extract:
Nv creed is that the Federal gov
eminent is limited, and confined to
certain specified objects-that it has
no power except such as is expressly
granted by the Constitution, or is ne
c cessary and appropriate to carry out,
and give effect, to the granted pow
ers.
Upon this creed I have endeavored
to practice, and this, in my judgment
is the Republican JsGersonian creed.
Yet, / am charged with being a Fed
e,alist, simply because | will not do
the biddings Of Il President and his
party. Some Of those vito make this
charge, yauntinelv boast OF their owa
consistency, and addace. as the only
proof Of 1t, that they have.a always act
ed with the same party, OF under the
guidance OF the same leader. They
conduct as if sent forth to denounce
and hunt down every man who has
the integrity and mora! courage to re-
sist their attempts to change the vi
tai principles of the government, or,
in other words, to practice upon what
lconslder the true Republican creed.
They say | am "a Federalist, be-
cause have changed. In what? |
deny the charge. Let them specify.
They cannot specify one single prin-
ciple avowed by me, when | entered
your service, which | have not faith
fully endeavored to carry out in prac-
tice.
What was our creed? the Jackson
creed from 1923 up to 1899, when
Gen. Jackson took the reins of Gov.
eminent?
Recur to a few of the items:
LIST. The constitution needs amend
ment. The same person must be eli
glble to the Presidency once only,
lest during his first term he uses his
power and patronage to secure his re-
election.
9. The President must be elected
BY people direct, without the inter-
veation of Electors.
3. The President must not appoint
members of Congress to any, except
Judicial Offices while they are mem
befs, nor until the lapse Of two years
afterwards.
4. There must be retrenchment
and reform; we have too many Of
fcers, and are expending too much
money.
$. Whatever money is in the Trea-
sury beyond the wants of an econom-
zeal government must be fairly oistri-
buted among the States, that each
may have fund for Internal Improve
ment, and to promote education.
g. No protective Tariff. Jackson
himself was for a Judicious Tariff.
Z. No system of Internal Improve
ment by the General Government.
9. It is highly criminal in the Fed
eral Administration to bring its pat
rronage and power in conflict with the
freedom Of elections, either State or
'r:ed 9, therefore patronage must be
united and reduced by law.
~. The Indians within States or
territories ought to be removed pea
ceaoly, and with their consent, and
sei q, west of the Mississippi.
These were the avowed, and far as
!, Know, the universal sentiments OF
ae party in my own State, when |
ealered your service as Senator in
aoso. was sent to Congress to give
ny a. q. IN carrying into practice these
principles. Have | not honestly re-
4 you upon every one OF
1hese subjects?
.h Ivy vote stands recorded against
vi s, abominable Tariff of 1928, my
s1..sagne and the present Chief Ma
ss 4 both voting for. it.
