HERMITAGE, July Il, is44.
SIN: have just received your letter the 10th ult
informing me that ---- recently declared that
he travelled through Tennessee at the time Gov Polk
Tor the first time candidate for Gov vernon and that
his opponents he whgs) then brought the charge of h
grandiather's being tory against him, and that the
democrats oil Tennessee met the charge by throwing II
upon the North Carolina branch OF the Polk family that
IS Col Thomas Polk !" and You desire to state for
your information and that OF the people, what know Of
the facts.


In reply, state with pleasure, that know all the old
stock OF the PolksCo Thomas Polk father ef Col Will
liam Polk and Ezekiel Polk, granda her of Col James r.
Polk They were all coed rs wings Old Col. Thomas
Polk was the first mover of independence in Mecklenburg
county. All the Folks then grown were good 10 whigs
and Col William Polk OF Thomas was twice wound.
cd in the war of the revolution, and think he had
brother killed in battle never knew branch OF the
family to be charged with toryism before II such
rumor was circulated during the referred to,
never heard Of it,


gratfed thus to be able to give my testimony 70
the revolutionary services and patriotism OF the Polk
family, with many Of whose members have been int
mote the great part Of my life.


It seems that in these times character is safe against
the for there less for IL than
in the case OF Col Polk have known him since he
boy. A citizen more exemplary in his moral depor
ment, more puncual and exact in business more ener
gec and manly in the expression OF his opinion, and
patriotic, does not live.


am, very respectfully, your obt servant,


ANDREW JACKSON.
