Gov. Polk of Tennessee, has formally refused to
call the Legislature together for the purpose Of elect
ing U. S. Senator, arguing, with much bitterness Of
party spirit, that the called session is unnecessary
In our opinion, Mr. Polk has made himself ridiculous
The Southern Loco-foco papers contain appeals to
Mr.. Tyler to be their President, and not the Prss
dent of the People, and they will give him their sup
port. How magnanmous and kind Poor fellows /;
they have lost all their ammunition, and scarcely
imagine much less any ground to stand upon, for
honest opposition. The Gorgon of Abolition is laid
| low--John Tyler is stakeholder Federalism, too,
is beyond resurrecton--John Tyler has been State
| Rights Republican all his life
| Speaking of Mr.. Tyler, the Columbus, Is. CO. OBJ
server says: South Carolina endorsed for hin, tho
canvass of 1886, and the United States in that Of
1889. He is Southern His accession will
relieve every anxiety Of every mind on the much
agitated subject of Abolition. We all repose with
confidence upon him, far the office Of President
| is concerned He requires pledges. From him we
demand guarantees. He is with us--of with
| out suspicion, and beyond the reach Of question.
