Political quarrel over Judge White’s bid for Presidency
The State Rights press in the South debates Judge White as a candidate, warning that his election would validate the Proclamation and Force Bill and split the party. They lament lack of Southern counterbooks on constitutional expositions, urge unity, and note past missteps with Jacksonian appeals. A separate note discusses smallpox in town and a new Willow Grove post office in Coweta County.
