10 James X. Polk to tho Presidency, tho nbt
10 ''ion party of tho North, who formed IN
u coalition with tho SouihcrA locofocos for IN
election ofJamcs X Polk, seem to conside
that It is no longer necessary 10 concen
: their lniamy. The aboLtionists of New
York, who were ever most bois,erous in
'he'r EXPLANATIONS against slavery, started 4
candidate Of their own, and just on tho eve
Of the election found il necessary or con-

Southern slaue.holdi"g Locofoco Nov
, The grave question remains to be decided,
where does the ,reacheIy lie. 1t exists
either with Polk or the aboIiionists. II
with the former, he has deceived both the
wings and Democrats Of the South by false
professions; ifwi.h the abolitionis,s il shows
that the fanatics wish to gain strength by
coalition with an aspirant for office, profess>
'rg principles directly at war with their
professions.
A few months, however, will unravel
the mystery. The administration of Polk
b'rney, q CO. will soon show for itself and
convince the people Of the South as we'll as
nose Of pennsylvania, that they have been
grossly humbugged by demagogues. I'll
