DEAa SIR: In examining your reply to the
Secretary of the Buns Clay Club IN tins day 5
Tribune, 1 think you misunderstood the wEte! s
intention and the feeling Of The Country on me
question Of Polk's connection with Slavery


We do not make /! c ground OF objection %
Mr. Polk tha; he holes Slaves nor DO we con-
sider il constitutional to interfere in any manner
with the question Of Slavery IN those States
where il exists.


We 90, however, con:cnd that Slavery IS q
great evil and curse cTd disgrace 10 tbs Ma
ton, and ne oppose Mr. Polk on the ground,
,.mog others, that he is in favor Of Annexation
tor the express purpose as his especial Southern
friends sey, of extending and perpetuating Slave
Institutions, SlaYc interests and influences. e
| agree with lir. Webster thai the Free States
hall not disturb tie internal arrangements OF the
Slave States, but say frmy aud decidedly, hiih-
erto shalt tnou come and no farther"


THIS appears TO be the position of the writer
you are replying to-not to oppose HIM Is
| Stakeholder, bat that the Locos may not gel
votes for him by their false statements that ne
not a Stakeholder nor in favor OF Slavery when
it exists.


assure you there is more misrepresentation
Of this character ailoa. in the country than YOU
appear to be aware of. They deny that ne IA:
ever bough: CT sod Slave, and only OWNS 'hes:
that belonged to his patrmonlal estate.


We cannot afford to have him get votes out @
MISREPRESENTATION of these things, although wt
DO not state them as main points OF objection t,
| aim. Yours, Sc a COUNTRY WIG.
