STAND UP TO THE RACK.

We have challenged the Sentinel and
True Democrat to show that Mr.. POLK ere'
gaze a cote, or uttered sentiment, prior to
his nomination to the Presidency. farorable
to a protective tariff. They have not done
it. Can they do it! Will they do it? II
the evidence exists, we certainly see no good
reason for Withholding it. Do you, reader
Point us TO the time, place, chapter, or verse
where Polk ever breathed sentiment
which, by any fair Interpretation, could be
construed to even imply friendship for pro-
lection. He has been fourteen years in
Congress, and thrice before the people of
Tennessee as a candidate for Governor, du-
ring all which time the tariff has been the
prominent, the exciting topic Of discussion,
and his votes and speeches must certainly
furnish recorded testimony of his views. We
beseech the True Democrat TO cite us an
extract from some one of Folks tariff
speeches. We should like to republish it.
1t would be curiosity.
But alas it turns ont that Mr.. Clay is not
a friend of protection and the True DEM
ocrat offers to prove that Mr.. Polk IS as
much friend of protection as his opponent
that is, no friend at all! No evidence is
needed on this point. The public UNDER
stands from Folks votes and speeches al
ready before them, that he is NOT friend
of protection, and what they want, is, that
portion of his votes and speeches (Which the
Wings have wickedly withhed,) that go to
prove he Is a friend of protection. Whe,h-
or true or false, the world has laborcd under
the impression for the past thirty years that
MIR. Clay was an ardent friend ofproteclion ;
the evidence is at least prima tacie. And
now the True Democrat must furnish us
with the grounds for even suspicion that
Mr.. Polk ever entertained sentiment of
the kind, before we can discuss the compar-
attire merits Of the two men on this point.
Is this unreasonable
lothian II. Hall used to have maxim that
1t "stood to reason that an OK could draw
more down hill than he could up, because he
could get better foothold." And it is quite
as clear to most people that man whose
whole life has been devoted to the cause of
protection, is more likely to be in favor OF it.,
than one like Mr.. Polk, whose speeches,
votes. and public acts are all on the other
side. But perhaps O'Halloran can chop logic
fine enough to prove that the real friends
of good cause should always oppose it.
