Our political opponents pretend that they do not
know our candidate for the presidency, james K.
Polk. 1t would be exceedingly strange if there
were TO be found, in this country any considerable
number OF individuals. either school boys or men.
who are 80 Ignorant of the political history of,he
nation as not to know a man who has acted so
conspicuous n part in some of the most ,rvino
times, and on some Of the most important subjects
which have agtdSed the minds of the peopIe AS
James X. Polk. We cannot think that such is
the TACT, and therefore led tc conclude tha
when they tell us they do not know James .
Folk, they are to be understood, no. in the sense
which their language would imply, but in a pecu-
liar and an extraordinary sense. We suppose
that they must mean that they do not know him as
'omo othor mon, who pnrm~Iiar f,vnriros
among them. and taking their meaning in this
light, fully con-ur with them in admitting tha. /.
he is unknown to them and to the country.

Gambler.

turalized citizons


They do no, know him rs the assailant of the

audacty and corruption were unbounded They

thanks of the honorable body over whom he pre-

even the tongue of slandor cannot utter n comp
laint against whom malignity itself cannot
produce charge.
