Judge White at Home. . A Public dinner lias just been given to fliis distinguished citizen at Knoxville, by his immediate neighbors, at which the Judge delivered the following Fpeech, which contains so many startling: truths, that we transfer it entire to our columns. The reader will perceive from a perusal of it, that so early as the rail or 18b4, more than two years before the" expiration of his term, die President was dabbling with ilie succession. He had, at that early period, in his own mind nominated his successor, and had fixed upon Mr. Van Puren as the proper person to carry out his administration. To lure Judge White into this arrangement, his name was to be run for the Vice Preshlency: and this ar rangement was made known to some-of Judge White's friends in East Tennes see. Upon his arrival at Washington in 1834, the President finding that Judge White could not be induced to enter in to any plan, other than that devised by the people, he changed his original purpose of running Judge White as Vice Presi dent, Land substituted Col. Johnson's name for that office. To give to tlvese nominations some appearance of being in accordance with public sentiment, it be came necessary to get up a Convention of Delegates "fresh from thepeople." The official organ accordingly announced the necessity of this convention to the public; and the office holders and depend ents on Executive favour, were appealed to. to carry it forward. The great bodyof the people had no agency in getting up the Baltimore Convention. It originated with the President -w;as convoked ex pressly for the purpose of sustaining his .nominations, and was an assemblage em phatically, of those who live, move and have their being in the sunshine of Exe cutive favour. Gf.stlemkk : The sentiment just giv en, nnd the feelings with which it has been received, encourage me to do something more than make my acknowledgements for your undeviating support, and confin ed conhdeuce. After an absence ofalrr.ost nine months, seven of which were devoted to my duties in Congress, upon my return home, to find my neighbors, the people of my own coun ty, ready to greet me as a friend, and to declare n the face" of the world, that my character as a private citraen does not deserve reproach, and that my conduct as a public man meets their approbation. lis a source ol the liigliest-rgratification.r More especially when I reflect how inccs- tsantly 1 have been assailed, ami with how much industry- thefvilest slanders have been circulated, under the sanction of names, some of which -I know are, and hn:g have been, very dear to you, as well as to the great' majority of .my, iellow-c.it- 7-cns. For eleven years I 1 avp, in part, rep resented TiMitfiesee in the Senate of the Ufiitul Slates. Until the two last, my hi vices, humble as ihey were,-appeared to be acceptable to the great body of the People. Any complain's against me were m;ule, comparatively by a levy, and they ueie, of those, decidedly opposed to the present Line! Magistrate and h:s adminis tration. 1 . Now the mailer has changed, ami 1 i;ivc been violently assailed by some of timsevuih whom I have formerly acted, ami several of those who were my bitter iiiMmiiki on nr-fin n t iil mv attacliitiPiit tu the Chief' Magistrate have become his talmis JrtaidSj while they! still continue heir hb&lilitv to me. .Having resided in 'he stale from iny boyhood and having. lomthe time I attained the years ol dis cretion, been busy among the people in some capacity or other, I believed a large ml overwhelming majority of our tellow -titi.ens were decidedly ilefftrsomun He- Ji''6icwi,-and belonging to that school l noli tie. inns invspll. wlipn lmnmo.1 v5il. seat in the Senate, 1 flattered myself 41 ial on all important questions, when I honest ly carried out, in practice, my own r"uicai opinions, 1 wouiu also laithiully present. the opinions 01 my constituents. 1 nave neither solicited nor uesireu the Wh, and could not have been induced to acpt it, if a sacrifice of any of my nrin 1 - w 'Plf had been required. At one peri K domestic afflictions visited me in such rlid succession, and -with such weight, I Irad matle upon my mind to witl "aW. fliifl tt in- ril:irr h cnnnliiwl hv 8me one, whose mind would not be doom- rn t.v u t . - vu uiuud go mucn over ins own mi- loinincs : but. aliand earnest solicitation of some, whom -I, childishly, then thought my friends, and alio are now under :the lnjpocritical pre twee of continued friendship, my most deadly .enemies. In the great. trutrgle to bring the pies j ent Chirf Magistrate into office, it be came jieccssaiy t Iat -Ids friends should proclaim and enforce, by all the argu ments they could advance, their political principles : and what were they ? i 1st. All useless expenditures of the public monies should be discontinued. 2d. All offices should be filled by men who we.re honest, capable, faithful to the Constitution, and of business habits. 3d. That neither Congress nor a"hy de partment of the federal government had any power, except that which was exjiirens- granted by the Constitution, or was necessary and proper to carry into effect some power which was expressly granted. 4th. That the executive power should be' so limited and regulated by u that neither the President nor any officer ap pointed by, or dependent upon him, could use his iiiIuence or power to control or guide public opinion in elections. 5th. That the Constitution should be so amcmled as-to secure to the people the right of choosing the Chief Magistrate llumsetves. That the same person should not, be elected for a second term, and that offices should, not be filled with members of Congress. 6th. That all surplus monies which might: accumulate in ihe Treasui y, beyond the reasonable wants of the Federal Gov ernment, fchould be divided among the States by some fair ratio, to the end that the People, to whom it rightfully behmged, inigitt nave me uenem 01 11 tor internal Improvements, Education, &c. 7th. That all caucuses or combinations of men, whose object it was to create or control public opinion in the election of President and Vice President should be discountenanced and put down. These were the great leading principles for which we in common, with "others. contended. The public voice sanctioned them by the election ol the Chief Magis trate in 1828. In his inaugural addiess in 1829, and in his subsequent addresses he has avowed and proclaimed several 01 them. They are the very doctrines on which 7 have practised from that day to this, so tar as my humble capacity enabled me ; and I now challenge my persecutors to put their fingers on the cases in which L have de parted from them. How then has it happeired, that for the last eighteen months or twoyears my hum ble name has,, in a certain set of newspa pers, and among a certain clan of politi cians, been constantly coupled with some degrading charge r 1 Upon this subject, I can perhaps give you some facts, not heretofore generally known, and this I shall do, not for the purpose of injuring any one, but for the sake of making a just defence for myself. 1 lie General Assembly of this btate sat in Nashville in the fall of 1833. At the commencement of its session, as is my habit, I"ws there. While there, the news reached us that the Dcposilcs of the pub lic monies'had been removed by Ihe or der of the President, from the-Bank of the United States. I immediately foresaw that this would produce a violent effort in Congres to put down the administration. I ascertained that there was a wish amung the members, before the session closed, to present my humble name to the people of the United States as a sui'ablc pei son to succeed the present duet Magistrate. To every member with whom 1 conversed, and to every other person who addressed me on the subject, I used all the argu ments in my power to prevent them from doing so j and with some that I could take most liberty with, when coining a way, left it in charge, that should a no mination be attempted in my absence, to have it prevented. At the close of the session one of those gentlemen wrote me, that he was censur ed as nnfriendlv, for not concurring in the plan of a nomination. I immediately an swered his letter, assuring him he had not only acted in conforniity with my wishes, but in accordance with my request and that so sure was I that such a nomination would have weakened the President in Congress, that if it had been made, I would have held myself bound to with- tiold my assent. In the Spring of 1834, T received com munications from different quarters upon the fame subiect, proposing if it met my approbation that there would be meet ings of the people to nominate me. To this course T gave no encouragement. During that vear the President visited I'ennessee. Our Convention was in ses sion, and after their rise, I. was informed some of the members had wished to no minate me, but had abandoned the attempt afier they ascertained it would incur his displeasure. On his journey to Washing ton he conversed freely with some of my friends, and remonstrated against any at tempt to nominate me as President said ihat there must be a National Convention, that Mr. Van Buren ought to be nouiinat ed as President, I, as Vice-President, and when his fight years expired, I was young enoughjhen to be taken up as Presi dent. All this was communicated to me, and the only answer f could make Was,1 that either office was beyond iny merits, but that I could not enter into any ar- 1 rangempnr, which would operate as a lure to induce any person to vote for myself or for any other person contrary to his 1 1 rii ... juuginenr.- j nus tiie matter stooti when the session of Congress commenced in December 1834. During that winter, ma ny county meetings wee hi Id, at which my name was brought before the public, :ts w ell as by the legislature of Alabama. Under a full belief that a system was about being put in operation, which would destroy the freedom of election, which was intended to lranft r all federal power info certain hands, who by the like process icoidd transfer it into the hands ofolhtrs at their pleasure & that the effoct of this woul,d be to give the operations of the Govenment such a direction as would favor the inte rests ot one class of citizens, at an entire sacrifice of the interest of all others, I consented that my poli ical friends might use my name, or not, as they believed would most promote the public interest. In this I iliay have erred : but if 1 did, it was an honest error. After giving this consent and before the Baltimore Convention, 1 was repeat edly forewarned what 1 might expect if my name was not withdrawn. These threats carried no terrors to me. What ever of character I have, wargiven to me by my country, and whenever it becomes necessary to risk the whole cfit, in de fence of those principles which I think es sential '-to the preservation of liberty, 1 willingly stake it all. I feel that 1 was not intended to be the slave of any man, or set of men that I have some mind, and that the author of my existence in tended I should exercise it that I should form opinions as to politics religion,nnd freely and fearlessly act upon them, with out being intimidated by what either men or devils can do. Could I have hesitated for one moment in my course, I would have fancied that 1 heard myself address ed from the ton b in yonder church yard, pointing to the place where his fa ther anil mother are buried" in language like this, my son, remember that the amc principles are now involved, which were proclaimed in July, 1T7G. That to maintain them, I risked my life and eve ry thing dear to man that after strjig gling through a seven year's war, witl my compatriots in arms, we succecilet in the estab'ishmcut of a free. Govern ment Under it 1 lived happy, prosper nu?, and died without leaving a spot upon my name that good name and that free government, I left mv children, as an in valuable inheritance ; and is it possible that for the lack of moralcourage you wil deprive yourself and your children of those blessings for which t toiled so long and risked so mnch r If I still doubted a voice still more endearing, if that be possible, would salute my ears in accents like these Lan you lor an instant forge the lessons taught by your mother ? lit member vou have not only your father' name in charge but you have also that of mil famify. Do you not recollect noiv used to encourage you and vour brothe to discharge your duty, as my only senli nels to watch and warn me when the to nes would approach your dwelling for plunder, in your father's absence, in the tented field ? That 1 would then inform you -that my family were among the first to hoist the Pole of Liberty in- the South, and among the most firm and fearless in defending it ? A;ul will you, who have not a drop of any but. Whig blood in your veins, hesitate as to the coarse you ought to pursue ? To these questions I could give b'ut one answer Fear not lor me. The same good name you have transmit ted, nnd the same rich inheritance, shall be left unstained, and transmitted unim paired to your grand children. But to proceed The Baltimore Con vention met, and in due form, nominated a candidate for the Presidency and Vice- Presidency, against whom no man has heard me say one word. They have ac cepted the nominations, and I have no - - a Ik - t doubt, in doing so, acted on those prin ciples which they think it right to main- tain. As to myseit, l solemnly deciaie that, with the knowledge I have of the manner in which that Convention was brought about, the object it was intended to accomplish, and the consequences ex pected to flow from it, had I been nomi nated by it for either office, such nomina tion would have been almost the only con-- fingency upon which I would have prohi bited the use of my name. K ' Let me not be misunderstood T am very far from insinuating it as my opini on, that the whole of that assemblage, or a majority of them, were either dishonet ir dishonorable men. Many of them are strangers to me, and I hope were govern ed bv worthy motives, and I doubt not believed great good would result from their labors. ' U n the contiary, think nothing but evil can result from a nomi nation bv a set of men Collected under the Husnices of the Executive, with a view to nominate an individual designat ed by him. Notwithstanding this nomination, my name has been permitted to remain w here it was before placed, and the threatened vengeance has been pouring out upon my devoted head ever since. "Tray, Blanche, j pie and denouncing Gen. Jackson as a red bweelheart, little dogs and all," have been let loo?e upon me. , I have heeded them. not.. It has been mj aim to bear any and every Ihrng. I Jiave unifoj-mly conformed my public conduct to my avow ed principles," what I believed to be the politics of my Sta'c. j So far as the Administration has acted on thv princi ples which brought the Chief Magistrate into power I have Uecn, as 1 think, a uniform and steady, though very humble, supporter. If on any point he has chang ed his principles, it is unreasonable to ex pec, me to change with dim, unless I can be furnished with sufficient reasons for such chanire. Humble as my pretensions are repre sented to be, we all now see, and know, that my venerable old friend, the Chief lagiitrale himself, in his own prdper person, has openly, and in the vieiv ol the sovereign people the,nselves turned out to control and regulate public opinion. This it a trouble which I am very sorry he had to take on my account. His acts xtre to live after him. Jle occupies the most dig- mum srauon upon earth. If any man living did more towards elevating him to that station than I did, it was because he lad inore influence. He lias the efficient control of the whue fund of the nation the disposal of '.our invaluable public domain the appointment of- all officers at home and abroad the power to remove tens of thousands ol olhcers, who have no means to procure subsistence for a dav. if he chooses to remove them; they must do as ne airecis or oe turned loose to starve. -All this power I zealously strove to viva him. and I did so under a" thorough conviction ihat he would only use it in accordance w ith the spirit of the Constitution. - That he would foil OW tilt Wl i n 1 n 1 f il Washington, of Jefferson, of Madison and Monroe. That so far from openly inter fering ill the election of his successor, or encouraging any Executive officer to do o, he would sternly prohibit it in others, and think it a high "political ami moral du ty in himself to be perfectly "neutral," and lest lie should disclose liis preference won 111 "avoid conversing' on the subject wilh his most intimate friends.11 In this I have been disappointed. I have been apprised that for twelve months past he has neitlier been sparing! nor backward in his censures of me. It .gave mc no uneasiness I was willing to bear it all without complaint. My only wish was that he might -so conduct as to take noth ing from the high character which in common with others, I had for years en deavored to give him. Not content with this he comes to our own State among my own constituents, those in whose em ploy I now am, took a circuitous route through East Tennessee, so as to be in many Villages, and is still on his tour through West Tennessee into North Al abama, openly denouncing me as a "red hot federalist," having abandoned his ad ministration and being as far from him as 1 fie polfs aie asunder. &-c. Now with great deference to the opinion of that highly esteemed and venerable man, I must be allowed to say he: is entirely mis taken. I am not now ami never was a Federalist, in any sense of that term re cognized by or known to the American people. I am now and ever have been, a Republican of Mr. Jefferson's school, so far as I have been able to comprehend the doctrines taught by him. The true way to test this matter is for each of us to put down the articles of his political creed, and see in what we disagree. 1 have given you mi:ie jyou and the Amer ican people, who have taken the trouble to read what I have said, or to notice my recorded votes, .know that I have prac tised on my professions. It is not-with me to say whether the Chief Magistrate has practised on his or not. If we Inow disagree in any thing, I aver that I agree with the republican creed and that he will be found on that side which leads di-4 rectly to monarchy, although J. hope he does not so intend it. It is undoubtedly true, that upon one point he, ami fare antipodes, as far apart as, the poles are from each other. He thjnks it an important point ofhis ad ministration before his time expires, to select his successor, and tin ough the me dium of a Convention, got up under his own auspices, have the person thus se- ecteil, recommended as a suitable can didate, to use all his influence and pat ronage to procure the election of the per son thus recommended, and he denounces every man as a Federalist, and as opposed to his Administration who - will not vote for and support such person. I disagree with this whole doctrine, and insist, it is no part Lof his duty to select ins successor, to have hun recom mended by a Convention, or to use his , . 1 influence or patronage 10 intiuce or coerce persons to vote tor him. 1 his is obvious ly the point of disagreement, and I wil lingly leave to the present generation, and to those who are to succeed us, to say which of us holds the republican side, Suppose Mr. Adams to be now Presi dent, anr his term about to expire, and he. had designated Mr. Clay as his sue eessor, and was using all his patronage to induce persons to vote for him, and was actually travelling through Massachu setts and elsewhere haranguing the peo- hot Federalist because he would not with dra.w his name and vote for Mr. Clay. vvhat would be sajd by our venerable friend in such case ? With a view to bring this doctrine home to the comprehension of every man Sup pose there were now a proposition to amend ihe Constitution, and make it the duty of every President before his term expired, to select the man in his judgment best qualified to succeed, hinu to have a I . . II t 1 . uuiiTciiiiun caueu 10 recniiuneiKl sucil person, and then to use all his patronage and influence to have hun elected. Is there any one man in America so stupid as not to see, it would be taking from the people, all choicCw-aW power in electing their Chief Magistrate, and vesting it "in the hands of one man ? If such an amend ment were to prevail, so far as the elec tion ol President was concerned, we would have to all intents and purposes a Mon archy.- Well ; if we can be prevailed on to think this practice ought to be pursued. without such an amendment, practically the government is a monarchy, because the people will have given up their right of choice. and transferred it to one man. It is not me alone that is denounced, but every friend I have in Congress from the State. They are taken up one by one by name, and denounced by the President as Feder alists, and opponents of ; his Administra tion. In what have they opposed his-Ad-ministration? Did they vote against his three millions session before la-t ? Did they vote against expunging the journals? INot they. Not one of them. Yet they are opposed to his ' Administration, be cause they will not vote for the person he has selected as hi successor. It is true as to one of them, Mr. Huntsman, when the President was asked how he was, he said he did not know, lie was hanging on the fence, and it was doubtful which side he would fall In justice to that gentleman I must be permitted to state, if there be any sin- ccruy 111 man, lie is as much on the In nessee. side of the fence, as any of his colleagues. I have thousrht it risrht on this occasion to bring this point plainly anu distinctly to your view that vou might every one see the reason why I and my trieuds are denounced as federalists, op posed to the Administration and the An ' I mm . . iipoucs or our esteemed and venerable Chief Magistrate. The real offence which I have commit ed is not the abandonment of my princi ples, but because I would not abandon them. Not because I became the Tool of the opposition, but-becau-e I would not unite with aa old and valued friend in do ing that, under evil and mischievous ad visers, which before God I believed, would rob the people of that freedom for which our Fathers "periled their lives, their fortune ami their sacred honor, " and bring reproach upon our memory when we are numbered with the dead. I ha highest standing, it is due to yotiil is due to the country, ami it is just to my self that I not onlyrepcl the chargesVbut disclose the motives of those vho make them.; , 'vVw , My. .poljtical friends who have . placed my name before the Public, are Jeffer so man Jackson Republicans, professing and practising now, the same creed they pro fessed in 1828. Oar motto is f not wordsr but deeds.11 We determine to prove our faith in our creed by our practices." If for this we are to be denominated 4 newborn"1 .Whigs," we are content. In stead of being placed in the company of. aliens and strangers, we will still be in the embraces and arms of our long, die r-4 ished principles. Names are nothing said our venerable Chief Magistrate, in his letter to Mr. Monroe. Dress a Tory in the garments of a Whig and he wil 1 be a Tory still. As well might? we expect' to conceal the Wvlf by patting 011 the covering of the lamb, as to suppose that we conceal the conspirator 'who seeks to deprive the people of their righlorsuf- rage, by throwing over htm tbe name ot iave no controversy with the Chief Magistrate 5 I aspire to nothing which he wauls. If there is any controversy" it i between my countrymen, who solicited the use of mv name, and him. They have solicited me to let my name be used as his successor, and I have consented. This. is my wlwleolfence. If there be any thing wrong in it, "who is the cause of it ? It is not mc that is to be pot down and disgraced in this controversy, ifTenn essee is either coaxed or coerced, to sur--remler her choice. It is the people, who have placed me in the position'I now oc cupy. The Saviour of the World, when upon earth, found among the small num ber of.his disciples, one Jud.is, who not only sold, but betrayed him for his thirty pieces or silver. It w-ere 111 vain for one of iny humble attainments, who has noth ing to offer but his best efforts to promote the public welfare, to ho,e that all who professed 10 be his friends would contiu tie to act uji to that character. Already 'nave I found more, than one Judas, who by parting with their interests in me have received or expect to receive more than twice their thirty pieces. "I doubt not there may be . more who will yet do so ; but if it is the will of Providence that the use of my name shall be of service to my lellow men, it will ba so ordered that 111 place of such hollow hearted anil false friends, I will receive the aid and sup port of many honest men, who will desire nothing but tht the government may be preserved in its purity ; and if there lives ihe man, who can induce a majority ol the people of Tennessee to abandon their own principles, and sacrifice dn individu al, whose name they had placed before the public to gratify his wishes, then will I admit that I never understood the char acter of the people a notig whom I have lived for almost hfly-two years. My enemies have made a mistake. They imagine that as 1 have determined not to advocate my own pretensions for the most dignified station upon earth, lhatthey'may cnarge me wiin wnai misconduct tnev please; in my present station, as Senator, and tua I must remain silent, or lay my self liable to the charge of indecency in electioneering. I Cannot and will not act nn afty such false delicacy. If 1 am un justly accused If, Lam charged with en lertaiuing principles, which do not belong to me, and these charges are made to mv own-constituents, - by a character of the a ''good old Jeffersonian democratic Re publican."

This right Vlhe sure rock, upon wV.e the whole superstructure rests; Upon -y I have planted myself. ,lhe rain or slander may descend, the floods ol calum ny may come, the winds, the storms, and the tempests of denunciation may beat upon me," but there will I remain un moved, until some political earthquake shall shiver both it and me to atoms. In conclusion, permit me to add, that : as to our venerable and esteemed Chief Magistrate, if in any thing 1 have ?vd : there is the appearance of unkindness, or want of respect, it was certainly not, in tended.", He has assailed me openly for my conduct, while in your employ. Ono of the firsrlaws of our nature is self-de-i fence. I obey the law as a freeman, whose rights and reputation are dear to him. We disagree in opinion on a most important subject. At our age, and eve ry circumstance considered it becomes us both to disagree in opinion, in good" , temper. In times past he had his. trou bles, and in them, he never was without; a friend to justify or excuse his conduct when I was present. He has decreed thatA we shall separate, or I surrender that; freedom for which my father fought. The -first is the only alternative for a man de termined to preserve his self-respect. He and I are poorly employed, if we Jose our temper about hum'ati governments. In the course of nature they must soon cease to have any operation upon either, of us. We must soon appear before 'a tribunal where the Judge himself' wjlj, be- -the only witness. He cannot be misled as to our aefs or. our motives; and; my prayer is, that instead of applying the? rules of strict justice to either, our errors, vices and infiruiilies may find .forgiveness , in liis mercy. - -' If thanks from the fulness of a grateful " heart would avail you any thing, for your unshaken confidence and steady support under every change and vicissitude?nof life, I would pour them out as long a my strength wou'd permit ; but I find that I have detained you already too long.
