The Tllaek Republican Vice Pres

The BLACK Republican Vice Pres
tdentIaI NOmenee.
g. The opponents ofthe Democratic party claim
10 have nominated man for President who has
no political record" and some Of them have
assigned this as one Of the principal reasons for
his nomination. r .,....-
In selecting candidate for Vice President
they do not appear, however to have been
gnite as successful, for their candidate, Mr. DAY:
ToS. has made just enough ''record" 10 enable
rs 10 judge what might be expected Of him
should he in any contingency again sueceed to
Office and power. .'..
4, In 1s4S, soon aher Mr.. DAyToS entered the
senate, bill was introduced into that body au-
thorizing and requiring the President to cause
to.be erected line of block house fcrts from
some point ohthe Missouri and Arkansas rivers
60 Oregon, and also one al or near the mouth Of
the Columbia river; also giving section Of land
to every white male of the age Of eighteen and
upwards who should become permanent set
iier in that territory.
.s5Uncn a motion to strike out the land section
f'errien, Calhoun, DAYTON, SC, voted AYE,
Renton, BUCHANAN, Clayton, silas Wright,
voted NAY, "Ll. .l -aa nrt 81
The motion TO strike out was lost. The bill
was then passed, Benton, BUCHANAN, Clay
ton, Wright, &C., voting for, and Berrien, Cal
hpun DAYTON, &C., against. . .a....a
Thus we find Mr. Dayton early recorded as
i l. I..l. g 4lo
Pacific and against encouraging Western emf
grafton by giving the public lands to actual set
jiers.2 t
During the same session Of Congress a bill
was introduced to refund to Gen Jackson the
fine {S10Oo) assessed against him by Judge
Hall for contempt of court in proclaiming mar
tial law, &C., at the time of the battle Of New
Orleans, On the passage of the bill Mr.. BUCH-
ANAN voted AYE, and Mr., DAYTON voted
NAY. s1.'A" t.- t.1'
So great an act Of justice was this considered
that itpassed the House by vote of l58 to 28
No appropriation by Congress ever gave more
general satisfaction Let the friends of An
drew jackson remember this vote. 'nw
At the next session of Congress a motion was
made to give the one years notice, as provided
by the treaty Of 1923, to Great Britain to ter
inmate the joint occupation of Oregon. Messrs.
Benton BUCHANAN, Woodbury., King Slas
Wright, AMI others voted in favor of the motion
bat Mr.. DAYTON voted NAY.
Thus Mr. Dayton in 1853 voted against en-
couragns emigration to Oregon and in 1874
against terminating ajoi2t occupancy of the ter
itory with Great Britain leaving that nation to
take possession Of the country by actual sottle
mcnt. During the same session John G. Spen-
Ger was nominated by the President an Associ
ate Justice of the United States Supreme Court
and although Mr. Spencer was known as q
WhiS and one of the most honest and conscien-
tious men living, Mr.. Dayton voted with Atch
son, &C., against his confirma ton. He voted
against the admission Of Texas and was no
present at the vote on the passage of the bill
for the admission of California
in 1913 when Mr. Douglas moved the ex
tension Of tho Missouri Com promise line to tht
Pacific ocean, Mr.. DAYTON voted agains
i.
Ia 1850 he voted against aboliShng foggin9
in toe navy.
Such is The political record" of the Fusion
candidate for Vice President. Look at it.
