“LOOK UPO.N THIS PICTURE,
JUDGE WHITE.
During the last War, Judge White nearing that Gen. Jackson
Was-straitened for provisions in the Creek nation, left the Courts,
of which he was then presiding Judge, md he, together with Maj.
Luke Lea, repaired to Gen. Jackson’s army for the express pur
pose of serving him in any capacity he might require. When arri
ved, Gen. Jackson dispatched him back to procure men and
provisions, knowing his credit and influence was such as to ob
tain the needed aid sooner than any one else. Judge White, at the
imminent risk of his life, in passing backwards and forwards
through the nation, performed the service, and afforded the mest i
timely succounajMlthermijfP , the battles of his coun
try. y refused to
f
w
murderous tribe, and cotisequentlyalforded protection to die'-
men and children of the frontier.
Judge White has served his State for years in the Senate of
the United States—was at the head of the Committee of Indian
affairs, and proved himself the untiring friend of Georgia, in ob
taining her Indians lands, and on one occasion, when, as some of
our present members of Congress well know, a most interesting
question on Indian affairs,in wh'Ch Georgia was greatly concern,
ed, was about to be decided, ho left his room of affliction, having
just learned from home the death of a child, and went to the Se
nate, and there, in a most able speech, vindicated the rights of
Georgia, and procured for her a favorable issue of the question.
Judge White was opposed to the Tariff in all its forms, was op
posed to extravagant appropriations, by the General Government,
for internal improvement, indeed, went against all wasteful ex
penditures of public money for any purposes.
Judge White is opposed to Abolition in every form, and states
that he would veto a law manumitting slaves in the District of
Columbia. And has never refused to answer any question put
to him by the people, relative to any of his political opinions, al
ways replying in a short, prompt, plain and perfectly intelligible
manner.
AND THEM ON THIS.”
VAN BUREN.
During the last War, Martin Van Buren was snug and safe in
the Senate of New York, doing every thing in his power to op
pose the War and render it unpopular, for the express purpose of
defeating Mr. Madison’s election for President, that DeWitt Clin
ton might be elected, and thereby bring the War to a disgraceful
conclusion. Tins, no man dare deny, for it is proved by records
and a thousand living witnesses. He united with Rufus King,
the king of Federalists, to destroy Mr. Madison’s Administration.
He united with the same person to prevent Missouri from being
admitted into the Union, unless she would agree to abolish slave
ry. — See Journals of New York Senate,

that Fret Negroes should be put upon a footing with Free White

to a vote, unless they held and owned a certain amount of proper

a revenue for said government.
Martin Van Buren has favored and continues to favor aboli
tion, by attempting to prevent slavery in Missouri and Floridabv
declaring openly that it is constitutional to manumit the slaves in
the District of Columbia, and by giving free negroes a vote; and
when asked, by Mr. Collier of Virginia, one of his warmest sup
porters, whether he would veto a law freeing the negroes in the
District of Columbia, he disdains to give an answer, thereby
shewing, not only that he will not, but that he conceives the peo
ple, who elect him, have no right to question him. Besides this,
he has associated with him on his ticket, for Vice President
Richard M. Johnson, a man, who has had two negro wives, and
has raised his children from them, under the express declaration
that they shall not marry with their own colour, but with white
people; and accordingly, has married two of his daughters to
white men, by giving them large estates. Now let the free, inde
pendent white men of Georgia say, which of these pictures they
prefer; and if they have wives and children, let them remember
they will be answerable to them for the vote they will give,
