Editors OF the Penn. Telegraph.


On the receipt of the above letter, the editors
of the Telegraph made verbal request, and also
addressed letter to the editor of the " Union,"
asking for the name Of the "near neighbor" Of
Mr. Polk, referred to above. The editor Of the
"Union' refused to reply. There are strong doubts
expressed, whether he ever had any authority for
this most untrue statement.

in the Charleston Courier, in reply to certain
charges preferred against him concerning his
course in relation to Texas Annexation. The
following is an extract {:
