1entemen; An impression prevails as under
sano, 10 some extent, IN this county, that did last
winter, as representative, give votes which in
volved the State in considerable debt for works Of
Internal improvement. | wish to disabuse myself
from improper reports, which is the only excuse ne

crease the taxes TO pay the interest contracted on
debts, heretofore created for Internal

the iormer representatives from this county, were
IN the Legislature when most Of these debts were
contracted-and II blame Is TO be attached To any,
certainly not TO me, for acting in good faith IN
paying the debts contracted by my predecessors.
by reference TO the Journal OF the House, in 1885,
II Will be seen that various propositions were made
by the leaders OF the Loso Foco party, Messrs.
watkins and Mcdowell, TO borrow money to carry
on these works Of Internal Improvement; and find
Col. White voting for mos, OF them :-lSee Journal
page IS, 80, LOG and 1877 Mr.. McDowelIs pro-
position TO make railroad, entirely at the ex pense
OF the State, from the Tennessee line TO New River
a distance of over an hundred miles, believe, was
one of the favorIte schemes of the party; and had
that prevailed, il would have led on TO similar rp-
propriations which would have involved the State
TO the amount OF many millions. Happily, these
os-rolling schemes failed in part. Now il there is
difficulty, wish 1t known who has brought us into
u:-Those who voted for the appropriations, or /,
who have voted TO increase the taxes, rather than
borrow money TO pay the interest on loans made to
construct these wolks2
In justice to Col White, it is proper to say, that
do not know that he has propasated, with view
TO inJure me, these reports; but his friends, as
learn, are industrious in the effort.
