 ssl was acquainted with Col. Ezekiel Polk
 from the time he came to Mecklenburg coun- ty, from. South Carolina. l always under stood that he was an officer in the South Carolina Rangers, together with Col Wil- liam Polk, who was all officer under his un- cle Ezekiel Polk This regiment of rangers performed campaign and dispersed the to- ries at Raybnrp's Creek, where Col. Wm. Polk was wounded. This was called the snow campaign. After this, William Polk (as soon as he could be brought with safety, not having recovered from his wounds) re- moved to Mecklenburg county. North Caro- lima, think about the year l778, where my personal acquaintance commenced with him, 1t being also an intimate one. From my knowledge, he stood high among the citi- zens of Mecklenburg county. He then farm ed in Meclllenburg county, and accumulated property there. When Conwallis overrun the country in 1780, and came to Charlotte, after Gates defeat, there were no regular or ganiZed troops in the field, and the country was oyerrun, it was my understanding that then, in order to save his property from dis tribution, he, together with others, took pro- tection from Cornwalis. When Comwallis left Charlotte for the South, he, Ezekiel Polk, removed his property from Cornwallis's protection. part of which was taken by Cornwallis's troops, when he, Ezekiel Polk was crossing the Yadkin He went from there to Pennsylvania, and returned in the summe of l78l. That he was tory, or acted in any ! wise, with the British. I consider slande against him, and to be false. He stood higl among the citizens of Mecklenburg county.

IS foolish enough to say that Ohio will % for Polk If Medary says so, he has changed hls opinion very suddenly We have the best authority for sayingthat Mcdary, within the last three weeks, has stated that he had no doubt that Mir. Clay would carry the State of Ohio.n
 There is not word of truth in this esbest authority" It Is a sheer fabrication got up for the occasion. We never said or believed that Mr. Clay could get the vote of Ohio, ei- ther three days, three weeks, three months, or three years ago. Such petty lies are q dis grace to Mir. Clay and his mouth piece.
 Two years ago Governor Corwin was de- feated by five thousand votes, and every body believed him ten thousand stronger than Mr. Clay. In fact, his defeat was, at the time, charged to Mr Clay's unpopulafityl sIr. Clay, with that.lack of deeencv or propriety, was over here nj the 100000 fandango at Dayton, aiding Corwin all he could, but sull defeat overlook him. Now, when the wings cannot get one of their ordinary large gatherings, what folly 1t is to talk of his car rylng the State l. is all gammon, and the restlessness and pettishness of his friends prove It. Every movement, every sound from the centre to the circumference of the State, tolls the knell of defeat to Mir. Clay and hls corrupt measures of bargain and sale of office, and all the other niquities attached 10 his public and private life.
 The desperate condition of Mr. Clay could not be better exemplfed than in the resort to such petty talsefoods.--O Ohio Statesman.

CcNFLAGRATIoN IN BosToN.-About
O'Clock on Sunday morning, a fire broke
out in a carpenters shop in Brighton street,
near the corner of Allen, which was des-
troyed with another shop adjoining. The
fire spread across the street and before it
was arrested burnt eight WOODEN tsnement
with most Of their contents
Another fire broke out about the same
time in the rear Of No. 60 Lowell street,
but was soon extinguished.
AT 3 o'clock, still another fire was dis
covered in South Margin street, which ex-
tended through to Merimack street, destroy

All these fires are supposed TO be the

A CURIosITY.-The editor Of the Phila-
dslphia Enquirer states that on Monday last
he read manuscrp; letter written by
William Penn, in Philadelphia, on the 3Oth
OF jolly, 1888. The letter, he says, is in
excellent preservation, the style Of penman-
ship old and easy, and the tone Christian,
benevolent, andcheerful, in an eminent de.
gree. lie gives the following passage
which will afford the reader some idea Of
Philadelphia in olden time:
81 have laid out q towns mile long nnG
two deep. on each side of which is a navi-
gable river, the least of which is as broad
as tHe Thames at Woolwich. We have
eighty houses ia our town, and about three
hundred iarmes near it, TO supply it with
provisions"

integrity and force of character must. upon
the sober second thought, endear him to ev-
cry true American citizen.
Resolved, That, in our opinion, George
M. Dallas, the favorite candidate of the Kew
state. is every way qualified TO ill the SECOND
Office in the gift of the people, and that his
election and administration will reflect honor
upon the Democratic party.
Resolved, That Hon. Henry Dodge, our
delegate in Congress, is entitled TO the graz
ttude of the whole territory, and especially
of the citizens of this county for the very eff.
ficient manner in which he has promoted the
interests Of his constituents.
Resolved, That we regard National Bank
as monstrous monied monopoly, the most
cunning and deadly of the devices of aristo-
crazy; that it deranges the currency of
country instead of regulating it; that it raiv
ses the prices of exchange instead of lower
ing them-and in short that i, is corrupt,
irresponsible and enormous power, always at
war with the test interests of the government
and the people.
Resolved, That any law, which like the
present tariff, depresses the price of every
article which the farmer has to sell and in
creases the price Of almost every article
which he has TO buy, however much it may
benefit the manufacturing states, is unjust
unequal, oppressive, and peculiarly so, upon
the citizens of the Western States.
Resolved, That there is no more propric-
ty in distributing to the states the money
arising from the sales of the public lands,
than III giving to them money arising from
any other source.
Resolved, That we are opposed 10 partial
and exclusive legislation of every kind, and
are in favor of an economical administration
of government, low fees for public officers,
and such an arrangement of our political af-
fairs that the public servants will never be-
come the public masters
Resolved, That we view with unqualified
condemnation, the efforts making by q fac
zion of people, under the name and gqisc of
Native Americans, to restrict from the privi-
leges of citizens for long term, those fc-
| reigners who seek our shores to nloy the
boon of freedom denied them at home; we
look upon the effort as kindred with the eE-
forts of federalism in earlier days, fit to stand
side by side with the alien aud sedition laws
of the elder Adams, and unworthy of an en-
| ghtened and generous nation.
Resolved, That we consider il the boun-
den duty of every true democrat 10 support
democratic nominations regularly and fairly
made, and that upon the union and harmony
of our party, depends in great measure the
stability of our government and the welfare
of the people.
The Convention then adjourned, sine die.

STIR THE SolL.-It is long since ex-
ploded fancy that stirring the soil had a
tendency to create more Of dryness, how
ever true it may be in other particulars
The season is now becoming what may be
termed rather dry, and farmers and garde-
ners should recoilect that constant stirring
of the soil with the plough, cultivator or
hoe will prevent the loss or partial loss of
crop. The soil turned up loose appears
to absorb more Of the dews and moisture
Of the night than the suns rays extract
during the day, and however. the theory
may be, we do know that when a crop is
we'll hoed or cultivated it rarely suffers al
all from the drought
