Extracts from the Speech of the Hon. fialic
Peyton, of Tennessee, delivered in Oxford, h’
a Public Dinner giveu in honor of Judge Hegh
Lawsou White on the 2nd day of April, 1835.
Hugh Lawson White, of Tonne s-ee. is before
the nation, ns a candidate for the highest office.
An attempt is making to mislead the American
people as to his true position, and 1 am now sur
rounded by gentlemen. without regard to party
distinctions, as they havo heretofore existed, who
are anxious to know what position he occupies,
and to do him justice, take what course they may
ill the Presidential contest. If you ran find a
man more honest, more capable, and better qno!-
ified to advance your interest, it is your duty to
take him, and his friends xvHI be the last to com
plain. Hut in doing this, you will still be will
ing to allow that Judge White is firm, honest and
consistent as a politician, and ncuiiit him of the
charges of selling himself, &. abandoning Ins party
and principles in pursuit of office, it there is no
ground for such imputations To such charges,
the history of bis life is sufficient to answer, lie
has never sought office, no. never; although he
hnsspenthisgreater part of life in the public ser
vice. It is however said that he is the candidate
of the opposition, that he has separated himself
from his friends, and that be has abandoned (Jen.
Jakson. To gentlemen of the Jackson party
hero and elsewhere, I havo a right to speak, for I
claim to he one of the most humble, yet one of the
most ardent of Gen. Jackson’s frieuds; I have al
ways been allowed to have at least as much zeal
<o the democratic feature in our system of
ernuiciit. It is gouc, vir'uallv gone from
moment. The low of primogeniture was odious
and h *s been abolished throughout America, be
came it destroyed the free exercise of llic will of
the possessor over bis estate, and had a tendency
to create utidne influences in society, by the con
centration of wealth in the hands of the oldest sou
at tho samo time that it disinherited all the othef
cSldreu. T.he caucus system is calculated to ef
fect in politics what the law of primogeniture did
in property except that tiie oldest sou is not al
ar ay* the favored object, for in ihat event Judge
White’would have nothing to fear Butavouug-
er son. or a stepson, or a cousin german, may
sometimes succ n eu over him who is the most
worthy. < ’.in a sttmgrr illustration of the sys
tem lie given than is afforded by tbcciicumstauces
which surround Judge White at this time?
The people have presented him as a candidate;
politicians say no.thct will not do the people know
nothing about this business, no man can have his
claims considered unless we assent to it; we will
form nurselv. s into a sort of grand inquest for
the nation, and no mau is to be recognized as
competent to fill either of the two first offices, un
less we- find :i true bill ill bis favor, I cannot think
that “uch a system will be acquiesced in or toler
ated l>y the people, unless it is in extreme cases,
to ward off some impending peril, some threaten
ed danger to the institutions of the Country-—
And of all parties in the United States the Jack-,
son party abuuld he the last to use their power,
fir the purpose of engrafting this odious system
upon the couutry. Did not General Jackson have
ns discretion in every thing which concerned him.! to meet sud contend with this caucus system in

“Oh! mournful truth, by all confessed,
Slow rises irorth by poverty oppressed."
There is a Turf on Georgia’s Course
W henever run by chance or force,
Will the rider cripple, the rid impair,
As usury known—so youth beware.
Oh ! shun, my friends, that fatal track,
l.cst rouud the course you’re made to hack,
The world therein, without annoy
To ride, and blast your future joy.
Try it who will, my word oh! take.
And shun, oh, shun that fatal gate;
For still thero is hope in every land.
Rut round this turf hut few can stand.
See, too, how alarming on this Turf's gate
The Insignia hangs, your certain fate;
While at every bend and turning post
Your rider is frightened at the course.
See, too, with whhl skiil this club can ride
And how artfully your steed can guide.
As round tho track you’re doomed to run.
While tho prize is lost and you’re undone.
See vice, too, running now ahead,
WhiJo Stratagem her course has wed;
Aud Scandal runs, aud with her heel
Has driven Virino from the field.
Oh mournful scene! we much deplore
That virtuo’s drawn to run no more;
Gan worse affliction oil mankind fall
Thau Avarice the foe and curse of all?
Sco Wisdom, too, with friendship rare.
Her couuscls with you freely share;
Aud still her admonitions spurn
Aud from her counsels away you turn.
See Reflection, too. with candor warn
Tho youth as on the turf he is borne,
While experience beckons him away.
Hut folly bribes, the youth betrays.
Is there no Island near some main
Where Virtue dwells and holds the reins.
That man may seek, the land oxplore,
Aud shun this club forevermore.
Sco Industry here, with all her fruits,
Fast siukiiigdoivn in disrepute ;
And Friendship rides to see her gains
And vice for virtue holds tho reins. ,
‘Tis true we have tho right to toil,

Jackson stood no chance for the nomination iu

received the nomination, lie had heeu prcsent-
;ov-1 istration, though in a manner mild and respectful
that to others. It is not the friendship of a day or an
hour, but has been cemented by time, sanctified
by the lapse of almost half a century- Its seeds
were sown iu their youth, amidst perils and diffi
culties—It has iu their mature years been tested
by dangers and became stronger by tho trial.—
Judge White stood by General Jacksou in all his
contests in Tenness6e-jh e lived in a part of the
State which enabled him to be of much service
to hisfrieud. When at Washington on the Span
ish Commission in 1823, he found the advocates
of General Jackson very scarce, and in some in
stances from aquarter which was little to have been
expected. Several of the Tennessee Delega tion
declared against him—others spoke very fceliug-
ly about the fate of the Republican Party, and
ibe necessity foi a caucus to decide who shall he
the candidate of the Party; protesting at the same
time, that Gen. Jackson was their first choice,
and that they had his. interests greatly a’ heart,
though everv body kuew' he would stand uo
chance to obtain the nomination of the cuticus.
It was proposed to celebrate the 8th of Jauuary.
The celebration was badly attended, cvcu by the
Tennessee Delegation, judge White was there,
and made an eloquent stiring speech on the occa
sion in behalf of General Jackson. When the
Indian Question was ponding before Congress;
a question which threatened so much embarrass
ment to General Jackson’s administration, and
one which gave him so much concern; who car
ried that measure through the Senate! Judge
White! and few know under what harrowing
circumstances ho made his speech. The day had
been set apart for taking up that Bill—on the
night prccecding. Judge White received intelli
gence of tho death of another child. Tho weight
of the measure had devolved upon liim; piocrasti-
nation was certain defeat; and great doubts wore
eutertnined os to its success at best. It depend
ed greatly upon tho effort of tho Cbairmau. He
appoared iu his seat—ho made no apology, ask
ed for uo indulgence; hut exhibiting a spectacle
of fortitpde worthy of Plato, with a bleeding
decreed to make an experiment on Judge White
—to defeat the Fortification Bill. The pretext
assumed was, thut it was after 12 o’clock—-that
tho session had expired, and that the Committee
had uo right to make the report. Many of Mr.
Van Huren’s friends especially of the New York
delegation, refused to answer to their names when
called, although they were present, deprived the
House of a quorum, aud thus defeated the com
promise and the Fortification Bill. Yet it was
12 o’clock when this committee was applied for
aud appoiuled—after 12 o’clock when the Indian
Aunuity Bill received the sanction of the House;
after 12 o’clock when the Cumberland Road bill
finally passed, and there was no objection from
any quarter. In fact, it has been the invariable
practice of each House since the formation of the
government, to sifand do important business af
ter that hour, aud even until sunrise the next
morning in some instances. I was on the spot,
an actor on that scene, aud although I differed in
my vote from Judge White, I have no disposition
to see injustice done to him or auy oue else. Lot
the responsibility of the loss of the Fortification
Bill fall on those who caused it.

Sir, his opinions are deliberately formed, upon
principle and constitutional law ; aud what thoy
are at one time they tire at all times, and under
all circumstances. Hi* political creed was form
ed in fixe school of Jefferson. He is a, State
High’s mau. but docs uot go so far as some gen
tlcmen in th” South. He is in favor of a strict
literal construction of the Constitution of the U.
States, confining the action of the Fedoral gov
ernment within tho expressly delegated powers ;
at the same time, be is in favor of Gongrevs ex
ercising for tin general good, all tho powers
which are clearly conferred, he does uot go so far
as emu gentlemen in the North. His speeches
and his votes however, are far better evidence,
thin any which 1 can give ofhis political princi
ples. His speech on the Panama Mission was
thought hy many to have been the ablest and
soundest exposition of the powers of our govern
ment which was made ou that occasion. He has
been uniform and consistent in - the opposition to
nit extravagant schemes of Internal Improve
ment by the General Government, to the Hank
of the United States and the Tariff. He oppos
ed the Tariff of ’24 and voted against the Tariff of
28; and b« was mi the side of this South in the

nil that too. when there is
piMtioti
arrayed against each other as in tho days of
Adams and Jcffcrsons in a fearful and doubtful
contest, iu which it was alleged on either side,
that the constitution itself was the prize, then I
would couscut to a National Convention or some
other mode which would ensure concert nud
imniiimity. But caucuses should be resorted to,
only in extreme cases, when some vital principle
iu our political system is threatened; just as you
would consent to the administration of calomel
in a disease which threatened life. That is a dan
gerous medicine, and no one would think of tak
ing it when in good health. Its injudicious use
will destroy the strougest and soundest constitu
tion.—but calomel iu the hands of a qur.ck. is
not more dangerous to human life, than is the ge
neral and discriminate use of tho caucus system,
it: the hands of the ambitious, who are in search
of office, upon the institutions of our country.—
Whitt is the cncviiable tendency? It is to wreal
from the people all agency iu the selection of
their nublic. officers, and place it in the hands of
a few individuals, not always the most disinter
csled or coinpetcntjudges, who are self rnusri'.ut-
cd, self Co 1 trolled and irresponsible to the people.
And what is thu object ?- To disfranchise nnliion*
of freemen for the benefit of one individual, and
to transfer the vast strength of ihe Jackson party
to one mm. if "his is to be the permanent sys
tem and ihe settled doctrine of this couutrv. fire-

Jackson, and his
trying circum
stances. been the result ofn desire to advanco his
own interests? No Sir No! He has asked for
nothing—has received nothing— but on the con
trary he has declined all the honors which have
been tendered to him : and yet we, the Jackson
Party, are required, by those who are interested
to turn against him, to brand him with the epithet
of Traitor; and deprive him of his reputation for
honesty and consistency as a politician. And
why? Merely because he will not interdict the
use of his name to the American people- That
is his only crime. This would be serving him
somewhat iu the same way ho was treated once
after an Indian battle. It was about tho year
1793 that a large party of Indians came into the
settlements of Ilolston, murdc.ted a family, and
carried off all tho pludder which fell within their
reach. A force was immediately raised to pur
sue them- Hugh L. White, then a youth under
twenty, made one of the party—Tho battle was
fought on the hank of a river whose current was
rapid nud crossing difficult. The Indians took
advantage of this position, and attacked the
white men as they passed the stream, one de
tachment of whom rushed forward, rose the steep
asceht. and were in tho midst of the enemy at
once, where mi obstinate conflict eusued; whilst
tho other party waited under the bauk to form,
where they continued until the battle was fought
aud won, until the war hoop ceased to be heard,
and the report of tho rifle had died away in the
distance. Then they formed a most excellent
liuc, presented an unbroken frout, marched bold
ly up and deliberately took possession of all the
plunder, to the last boaver skin. When tho fig ht-
ing men returned from the pursuit. Hugh L.
White, who had heeu from the start one amongst
the foremost of them, found that one of these
Bauk inen in eagerness for the spoils of victory,
had taken possession of his vvallot of provisions,
which had got lost in thescuffie. But ho demand
ed that as his own right and made him give it
up. Now I think it would look like a hard case,
if the Jackson Party take from him not only all
that has been won from our opponents, hut also
his own wallet into the bargain, and bestow it
upon one who was uuder the hank in thf original
contest or co-opcratiug with the enetny. lie is
entitled to the confidence and support of the Jack-
soil party. Ho has not abandoned his priucipics
nor bis friends; and if they abandon him, he
will nevertheless continue true to his principles.
An attempt has been made to mislead the pub
lic with regard to his course on two questions,
which were before Congress at the last sessiou ;
allude to the Bill in relation to Executive Pat-
ronngo, aud tho Three ' million appropriations,
which was appended as an ameudraeut to the
Fortification Bill. As the first of these measures
tho Bill iu relation to Executive Patronage, he
was committed; had taken his stand on that
question in 1826, nud in excellent company too;
iu company with the lion Thomas II. Benton, of
Missouri, and the IIou. Martin Van. jltircu. of
New York, lur. Benton still voted with Judge
White, aud no one has been authorized to say,
so far as I kuow, that Mr. Van Biircn has chan
ged his opjuioii. Now is it not strange that not
withstanding all three of these distinguished men,
were tin the Committee in 1826. perfectly agreed
upou this question, Mr. Benton reported this very
hill, he still votes with Judgo White, in favor of
it, so far as wo havo heard Mr Van Buren has not
cliauged his. opinion, that Judge White, atone
should be singled out aud censured, as having a-
hondoued General Jackson. This is too plain to
mislead any ono. IIo>v could it bo looked upon
as ao act of hostility to Gen. Jarkson, when his
time had almost expired, and he had no further
uso for patrouage—And cquallv groundless is the
imputation as to the Three Million Appropria
tions. That was not looked upou as ono of the
President’s measures, by any of his friends. He
had not recommended the appropriation; aud if
it was -in administration messure, it was not made
kuown to many of the President’s best friends.
I voted in favor ot it to be sure, but 1 voted in
company with Mr. Adams, aud Mr. Conker, and
other distinguished members of tho opposition.
I should havo been much better pleased with the
amendment, if it had been more specific and ap-
propriated less money—not but what I had full
confidence in Geu. Jecksou, but hccuuso it was
imposing upon him a responsibility, which Con
gress should havo - assumed, that of deciding
whether or not the money should bo expended in
certain contingencies, & if so, on what objects-
These wore tho grounds upou which Judge White
opposed the appropriation of Three Millions—
because ueither lito President nor any member of
his cabiuet, had advised the appropriation, no es
timate of the amount had bueti made at the pro
per Department, and of course he could not look
upon it as an administration measure. But he
opposed it more especially on the ground, that
there was no direction that money should be ex
pended at all, or if it should, upon’ what objects;
thus shifting the whole responsibility from Con
gress to the President; but it is well alleged that
he is accountable in a great degree for the loss
of the Fortification Bill. It was party spirit in
the House of Representatives which caused the
defeat of that measure. A Committee of confer
ence was asked for in tho House, appointed, mot
the Committee of the Senate, and found no diffi
culty in adjusting the matter—but before a report m , — r

Mail Robbery.—A mau by the name of Payne
was yesterday arrested in this village, on suspi
cion of having extracted from the mail last win
ter, about two thousand dollars, sent by the
Lewis Co. Bauk to H. Norton, of Prescott. U. C.
and about nine huudred dollars in $10 notes on
the Lewis Co. Bank, answering the description
of the money lost, was fouii' 1 upon him. Payne
it is said was a clerk in the Ogdeusburg Post Of
fice at the time the package was lost He deni
ed having a considerable amount of mouev about
him, and expressed a willingness to submit his
baggage to examination, but was very relunaut
iu consenting to ail examination of his person ;
he was however searched, and the money found
in his coat pocket. He riien confessed that he
had the whole $2,000, and said he had disposed
of the other portion of it to his brother, who lives
in Autrop, to purchaso cattle with. He however
denied having purloined it from the mail: but
said that he had found it in the door yard, buried
in a heap of chips, with a loug chain lying across
it! He was committed.
Small Pox.—There was a lively alarm in town
on Sunday from the report of a new case of
Small Pox. The prevailing opinion to-day (Mon
day.) lip to the time of putting tho paper to the
press, sets it down as only the effects of vaccina
tion, administered some 8 or 10 days ago. We
cannot venture to state it either way positively.
The patient has been removed to the infirma
ry East of the town, situated on tho farthest
high ground towards the river; off from any
public road.— Georgia Journal.

Tremendous Gale.—Yesterday morning about
2 o’clock, a gale commenced from the South aud
south west; at sunrise it iuereastd greatly—.at
8 A. M. it was the severest—the wharves were
all overflown; cellars filled; vessels parted from
their posts, and great injuries done.
New Revolution Mexico.—The packet ship
Congress. Capt. Kimball, arrived yesterday.sail
ed fretn Vera Cruz on the 8th iustaut and brings
intelligence that a new revolution had hrokt u out
in the south of Mexico, which threatened serious
consequences to the present govern Moot. So far
as we can learu, it appear; that the first move
ment was made hy Geu. Alvarez, the Governor
of the stare of Zacatecas, who came out with a
proclamation declaring that St. Anna was inca
pable of acting as President until he is fairly tried
by a competent court, atm establishes the justice
of his conduct iu disobeying the old Congress.
The Proclamation also declares that the existing
(’digress is illegitimate calls for the restoration of
the old one, and the return of tho Vice President, j
Gomez Facio. to the executive authority. At
the latest accounts, three other important states,
viz: St. Louis, Potosi, Morelia, aud Durango, had
united with Zacaiecas.in this declaration

On the Canadian frontiers—in the severities of
the forest winters of the North—on the shares of

W© would uot be so unjust to the orrntor. n
to attempt a recapitulation of the topic* of h:s
discourse. Two oi three mcidents he mention
ed were of so touching a character as to draw
tears that indeed seemed •■from eves unused to
weep.” Of the men shot by the second discharge
of the British musquetry, one lived in a house
fronting on the sceuc of battle. When the
rout took place, lie turned re hi* hou.e, aud ad
vanced towards it with tottering step 0 . Ills
wife stood iu breathless anxiety at the window.
Stretching his arms towards her for aid in his
living moments, he fell at his length in the dust.
Unable again to rise, he crawled on his bauds
aud feet to the door step of the house, and was
reached hy his wife iu time :o pour out ills last
breath in her arms.
Another story of indomitable valor, worthy of
an immortal renown, and unsurpassed by auy
incident in history, is that of the brave Parker
who had sworn that come what might, he would
never turn his back on ihe British. His spirit
had been roused hy long meditation on the wrong*
of his countryman, and nerved, to a degree of
resolute daring, that made him n willing—ay.
au eager sacrifice re the great case that he knew
to he impending He has made a noble vmr
and it was nobly redeemed. When it appeared
certain that a struggle would occur, he placed
his hat containing his ammunition at bis feet, .aid
reso ved to await the i-sne on the spot. On
receiving a severe wound, he fell npoii his knees,
and having discharged bis piece, was prepared to
reload, when he was transfixed by the bayonet of
a soldier who rushed upon him and despatched
him at a blow.
fu the course of the address, Mr. Everett gave
beautiful sketches of Hancock aud Adams. Th*
grandfather of Huurock was for many years the
pastor of the congregation in Lexing’cn, that
worshipped on the spot where the meeting boose
in which the orator was' speaking now staud*.
Hi* father was a rintiveof Lexington, and Han
cock himself had passed many years if his
.you’ll and childhood in that village. Adams
and Hancock resembled each other only in their
patriotism. The one might have been only the
spoiled child of fortune, if Providence had net
destined him for the accomplishment of a mighty
purpose. As he was useful iu his generous
affluence, so the other was useful from his ir.cor
ruptible poverty. The character which was
dra wii of these distinguished men—often as their
characters have been drawn both in parallel and
contrast—was full of vigor, beauty and elo
quence.
