POLK rs, CLAY.
Tune" Lucy .Neal.n
Como, Minstrel Clay boys, and {" for greens,
Let's sing about James Polk,
II we can find fitting rhyme,
And words that will not choke.
o, poor Jenny Polk!
O, poor Jenny Polk!
When he's used up in the fall
He'll hardly like the joke.
Now is it not a funny thing,
That such man as Polk
Should try to run against our Clay p
The coons think it joke.
o, poor Jenny Polk! &c.
lie was used up not long ago,
In his own State by Jones;
Now, such Polk as this deserves
Not decent songs, but groans.
o, poor Jenny Polk! SIC.
For green's" indeed, for President,
They must have set up Polk;
DuI ii ne runs against our Clay,
They'll find he'll end in smoke.
o, poor Jenny Polk SIC.
The Dragging and the bindings now
The game the Locos pay
They'll find with all their cheating foul,
They cannot cheat our Clay.
o, poor Jenny Polk SIC.
The Locos they are blinded folk,
And sadly poke about
To find what are the views of Polk;
IT'S hard to find them out.
o, poor Jenny Polk sc,
They say he for a Tariff goes,
But cen this is "no go;''
IT'S but scheme for binding men,
The keen-eyed coons well know.
0, poor Jenny Polk SC.
The coons' eyes all are opened wide,
And Harry's views are plain;
They have no need of trickery,
Their noble ends to gain.
0, poor Jenny Polk! sc.
The country in its youthful days,
Could find Washington,
'Twere sad now if no better man
Than Jenny Polk can run.
0, poor Jenny Polk! &c.
The coons wont swallow Polk at all,
They'll ego their death" for Clay;
For Clay they know'll be lasting still,
When Foxes all dried away.
0, poor Jenny Polk sc.

WASHINGTON, Jan. %, 1843.
Mr. Joseph E. Hover: Sir: have made use of
your Black Ink sufficiently long to ascertain that it
possesses all the desirable qualities which are neces
sary in the employment Of steel pens more fully than
any kind Of ink that had previously essayed, and
have got pretty well through the catalogue. have
not taken the trouble to test it chemically as this
has been already done by others whose certificates
satisfactory to me as though the experiments
had been made by myself.
THOMAS P. JONES.
WASHINGTON, Jan. %, 1843.
Mr.. Joseph Hover: Sir: ] have examined and
used part Of the specimens of ink which you left with
me, and am prepared to speak favorably of them
both. Since began to use metallic pens, have
never been able to obtain ink which would not more
or less corrode, and speedily destroy them. Yours
appears to be free from every corrosive ingredient.
The marking ink possesses, in my opinion, all the
qualities which are requisite TO give to the article
very high character. Yours, respectfully.
