ADDKEss OF The DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION or
MIssIssIPPI.
FELLOW CITIZENS You will be called upon
on the first Monday III November 1885, to vote
for a Representative to Congress, to FIJI the va
cancy Occasioned by the death of General
Dickson. Bot two candidates are presented
for your choice. John A. Quitman Of NatChez
and Samuel J. GholsOn Of Monroe. Now we
will present to you authentic facts, which nei-
Their Mr.. Quitman himself nor any other res
pectable citizen over his own signature can
In the election Of 1924, between Gen.
jackson and John Quincy Adams; Mr.. Quit
man was in favor Of John Quincy Adams,
whose administration he continued to support (:
and in 1928, after the clear violation Of the
WiH Of the people by the coalition Of Adams
and Clay, and the strong federal measures Of.
Mr.. A dams' administration, Mr.. Quilman still
in 1928, was the decided supporter OF the re-
election u John Quincy Adams, and one Of Me
committee in his favor. Mr.. Quitman has at
all times, opposed General Jackson from 1924.
to the present period, and all the leading meas
ures of.his administration, and is also an open,
avOwed and decided nulyfer, and the leader
of the notification party in this State, the
author Of their associations, COW %sntions and
addresses. Mr.. Quitman will not deny that
be is nullyfer. In Natchez and Adams coun-
ty where he resides, it is too well known to be
denied; but as it may not be universally known
throughout the State, we refer you 10 the pro
c%eediDgs Of the notification convention, of
this State, of May, 1884, of which MI. Quit
man was a conspicuous member. and in its
proceedings and addresses, over his signature,
and known to be written by him, you will
find him openly advocating the doctrine that
notification is a constitutional remedy and
among other remarks in his address, we quote
the following:
"The heightened principles Of the Presi-
dents Proclamation paved the way to the pas
sage Of the Bloody Blu, which claims for the
government the right to overlook the State au-
thorities, and arbitrarily to treat its citizens as
rebels and traitors"
Yet the very proclamation and bloody bill
(as Mr.. Quitman calls it) Judge White sus-
tanned by his vote, before his desertion Of the
administration. Has then Judge White come
round to Judge Quitman, or has Judge Quit
man come round to Judge White? But this
we do know, that Judge Quitman remains an
open and decided %nullifer. What are the
facts in regard to the proclamation Of Gen
Jackson, so much abused by Mr.. Quitman !
Why South Carolina by her multiplying ordi-
nance had fixed aperiod, but about two mOnthl
distant, for the dissolution Of the Union, and
was collecting an army to enforce the Ordi-
nance. What did Gen. jackson do on this
awful crisis? He issued his proclamation adj
vising a repeal Of the multiplying ordinance, buI
declaring that 8 the Union must be preserved;
that no one State could dissolve the Union,
and adVising the enactment of that much
abused revenue bill; Tor as Mi. Quitman calls !
the bloody bill, authorizing the Government
Of the Union to repel force by force and pre-
vent the nulliiers from dissOlving the Union
and the Btll was passed almost unanimously
mono but the nulIiiers voting against it's pas
sage. And for preserving the Union, Presi
dent Jackson is now denounced by Mr.. QUIT
man. If any Of YOU still doubt the n%ullifyin
and anti Jackson principles Of John A. Out
man, we refer you to his vote in the legi'
\ lature on the 9Th Of January last, page ~ Q
