J. DUDLEY'S STATEMENT.
j. Dudley, Esq, Senator, from Franklin and
Owen countless being called upon made the fol-
lowing statement on the floor Of the Senate One
day, in January, 1926, +. p Blair came into
the Senate Chamber, seated himself me, and
inquired my opinion on the resolution passed request
ing our members OF Congress TO vote for General
Jackson as President OF the United States. Mr. B.
desired that would write letters requesting the mem
bers and particularly ID. White from this district, to
consult with Mr.. Clay and vote as he might desire.
70 this | objected, and gave my reasons therefor.
MIR. b. appeared surprised that | should raise any
objections, particularly was opposed TO the reso-
lutions. lie said that number of members Of both
houses, who voted for the resolutions had written
such letters and that could do ii with more propri-
ety. He said if Mr.. White could be induced TO
vote for Mr.. Adams he would obtain the vote of Ken
lucky, and with IT the votes of of the Western
States, which would elect him, in which case MIR
Clay would obtain the appointment of Secretary Of
State. | then inquired how that fact had been as
certanedi His answer that letters had been re-
ceved from gentlemen of undoubtcd veracty at
Washington city, containing such information that
might rely with confidence on that statement. | re-
piled that, although was opposed to the resolutions
! had no doubt they contained the truth and there
fore could not say ONO word to induce our members
OF Congress to believe otherwise / further protest
ed against MIR. Clayhs accepting any Office under Mr.
Adams, whom considered Federalist of the Boston
stamp IN 1898 and 1900 and thenceforward an enemy
OF the West you have 1t my opinion that if they
were united, they would sink together
The Statesman permitted the important news of
the action OF Congress- in reference TO the admission
OF members elected by general ticket the election Of
speaker and clerk to reach the public through the
usual channel; but the glorious triumph over olti-
cal friends, in the election Of Blair Rves was her
aided forth in extra. This is probably the FIST in
stance Of the kind in the history of partzanship The
fact shows our neighbours thoughts to be dwelling on
" bl cd and carnage" We would suggest that all
the Democratic blood shed by the Globe and States.
