In consequence of statements which have appeared
in various quarters representing that Col. Ezekiel
Polk, grandfather Of james X, Polk, was q tory in
revolutionary times, the Tennessee State Central
Committee have published long counter statement,
accompanied by numerous afidayts from persons
who personally knew Col. Ezekiel Polk. and their
united testimony is that the charge is without foun-
dalion On the other hand, his commission as second
captain of the Rangers in the whg army Of the
Revolution Is yet in existence certified TO by seye-
raj respectable gentlemen Of South Carolina. IL is
admitted that in common with many other patriotic
citizens Of Carolina, when that State was oyerrun
by British troops, he accepted =" protection from

THE TEXAS QUESTION-WR. WRlGHTs
VIEWS OF LAMENTATIONS

We find 10 the Evening Post Of lsst evening por-
lion Of MIR. Wrights speech at Wstsrtown IN reia-
ton 10 the greet American question oil admntoH
Texas into the Union.
Will show his views an this great quesuoh. NO Hiepu
OF Texas object TO them
al do believe that in certain national poins of
view the anne xaion Of Texas would be important to
the Union--that our Southern border would be I'M
proved and strepg hened-that position would be
Strengthened and secured. II Is question which
public opinion should pass upon, and their servants
should obey that opinion and viii. Candor requires
that should go step farther From the observa-
ton | have made-and have endeavored to make
il calmly, and without prejudice or bia'-l believe
there is growing inclination among the people oil
this country 10 extend border In that direction.
And have now little doubt that II we live IN that
quiet aud prosperity which we hope for but lew
years will pass over until shall see the Union in
dispiulaby, and, believe, peacefully aud honorably,
embracing both Oregon aud Texas. As to the Ore
gon territory have no more doubt Of our right
to it, than 1 have that New York Is part Of this
Union. have therefore actsd-unifoimly acted--as
your Representative in favor OF putting end TO the
common occupancy between us and England, and ex-
tending at once our power and jurisdiction that
county"
This speech of Mr.. Wright seems to satisfy our
contemporary. The Posts objections to the admis-
sion Of Texas has, until recently, been of perma
nent and unyieldng nature.
The Post objected to annexation on the ground Of
supposed tendency il would have to perpetuae ala
very. This objection, ii we'll founded IS not one
thai can becom. obsolete in a week, a month, or a
year. IL Is reasonable therefore, to suppose that the
Post has abandoned its opposition 10 Is1as, or at
least the ground of lis opposition to this great Ameh
can question.
Mr.. Wright tells The people at WATERFOWL that but
short time wiA eIaps before zoe shall 81. both Tsras
and Oregon honorabiy embraced ,cihiin the Union.
The Post compliments Mr.. Wngft for his ragacity
as follows:
"Mr. Wright with US is very high authority, and
We cannot bu feel sincere qualification TO find our
selves sustained by him."
