facts respecting the Presidential election in Tel

POLK "REPUDIATED' IN
PENNSYLVANIA.

The Philadelphia Mercury contains the
proceedings of large democratic meet
ing" in Kensington on the evening of the
10Th inst. at which the following ominous
resolutions we're passed and directed TO be
printed in ''all of the democratic papers
in the Union"
" Whereas, 1t becomes Democrat fear
lessly to speak his mind in relation to the
great questions connected with the ap-
preaching Presidential contest.
Whereas, The Democratic party have
nominated Col. James X. Polk, of Tenn
essee, for President, and ask for him the
support of the Democracy of Pennsylvan-
la.
Whereas, Col. Polk, we have recently
understood, is opposed to the great inter
est of Pennsylvania. which is proper tar
iff for the manufacturers, mechanics and
laboring classes of our country.
Resolved. That this meeting being
Democrats, who supported Martin Van
Buren, in the year of 1886 and ls40, in
the first elected and in the latter defeat
ed by the largest vote ever polled by the
American people, deem it their duty to
say to their Democratic friends through
out the State of Pennsylvania. that they
cannot support James X. Polk at the ap-
preaching Presidential election, to be held
in this State on the first day of Novem-
Der. 1914.
Resolved, That in the opinion of this
meeting, Col. Polk cannot carry the cleo
toral vote of the State of Pennsylvania.
and that his friends be Immediately re-
quested to withdraw his name from the
Presidential campaign, unless they prefer
defeat to victory.
This is but one of a number Of signifi-
cant indications that the Electors of Penn
sylvania will stand by "Clay and the
Tariff in the approaching Presidential
election. Those who expect the Key Stone
State to vote for Polk will find themsel-
yes wofully deceived. She will hardly
quarrel with her own bread and butter for
the sake of James K. Polk.-Ere. Jour.

POLK ON THE ANNEXATION OF

We let Mr. Polk speak for himself. II
will be seen that he is in favor of the I'M.
MEDIATE annexation Of Texas! in
spite of its injustice TO Mexico, and the
hazard of war the most infamous, be.
cause utterly indefcnsible:
GENTLEMEN Your request from me
an explicit expression of opinion upon
this question of annexation. Having al
no time entertained opinions upon public
subjects which | was unwilling to avow, il
gives me pleasure to comply with the re-
quest. 1 hare no hesitation in declaring
that lam in fdror ofihe IMMEDIATE
re annexation of Texas 10 the territory and
government of the United States. en-
terrain no doubts as to the power or ex-
pediency of the remuneration. The
PROFITS clear and satisfactory to my own
mind, that Texas once constituted part
Of the territory of the United States. the
title to which | regard to have been as in
disputable as that TO any portion of our
territory. At the time the negotiation
was opened with view TO acquire the
Floridas, and the settlement of other
questions, and pending that negotiation,

Louisiana, as defined by the treaty of Is.

MR.. DALLAS AND THE U. S. BANK.

The Locofoco papers are endeavoring to-
make MIR. Dallas acceptable TO their party by
excusing his advocacy of The United States
Bank on the ground of having been instructed
to do so. Now, Nh. Dallas himself said in
Senate that he was the ,riLIiHg and instructed
agent to bring forward that bill. But further;
we believe Mr.. Dallas himself asked TO be
made the agent of the Bank. claimed il as a
right belonging to him as the Senator from
Pennsylvania, and from the city in which the
Bank was located. Were Mr.. Biddle living,
we think we could prove that Mr.. Dallas i'm
portuned him on this subject; that he had
made up his mind to thrust the matter to-
another Senator, but changed his purpose,
upon being demonstrated with by Mr.. Dallas.
There may be gentlemen in Philadelphia who
were directors of the Bank who know this
fact. Were Mr.. u. living we would appeal
to him with confidence to sustain the assertion
that Mr.. Dallas sought, earnestly sought, 10
be made the agent in the Senate Of the Bank.
