THE WAY A MANS CHARACTER is De
STROYED

The infamous cslumny put in circulation oy INC
Albany Evening Journal, tina, Gov. Polk had brand
ed his initial. on the backs Of his slaves, which the
Albany Argus so promptly demonstrated to be vile
forgery, is nevertheless flying on the wings OF the
wind and although its baseness has been detected,
and the cha,ge has been humbly retrscied by the
journals which first gave il publicity yet the mischief
can never be wholly corrected, and thousands may
continue TO believe the original tale.
Some Of the Wing prints will make an equivocal
and partial correction of the SANDER, others Will
still, insist that 1t is true and some, after laying the
charge before their readers, will never say word,
pro or con about the exposure Of the base fraud.
A candidate for tho Presidency must be abused If
he has done nothing to merit abuse, fabricated
charges must be preferred against him, SO that upon
some hypothesis or other he be assailed. 1t is
80 with Gov Polk. He has never been abused yet
for any thing committed by himself Being entirely
faultsss, fabricated charges preferred aganst
his dead ndfa'hA--and when these were dsproyed,
fabricated charges were preferred against himself,
with no better luck.
The Richmond Wing. Of yesterday, 1--WE shall look
for recantation in the next number) has the follow
ing article:
THE WAY JAMES X. POLK MARKS HIS
SLAVES
The following statement is taken from Roor-
backs tour through the Southern and Western States"
in 1896, when James X. Polk was Speaker OF the
House of Representatives. Roorback's book was
published years before Polk was nominated, or even
dreamed Of In his own dreams, for the Presidency
We sec not the slightest reason for questioning the
truth Of the statement and if true it ought to damn
Polk to eternal infamy We know not slavehold-
or, thank Heaven! in ell Virginia. who, If the state
mont true will not heartily concur with us in the
sentiment, that james X. Polk ought to be damned
for this cruel deed to perpetual infamy 1t brings in
eGaceable reproach on him, and it sfixes stigma
upon the country-upon the Southern States, false
and undeserved! 1t holds us up, as People, to the
horror and detestation of Cnristendom Give US
jackson again, we say, with all his disregard of Law
and Con.titution-give Van Buren, with his hordes
Of defaulters-rather than this inhuman coward.
Now it has been proven and admitted that there
never has been such tour printed, as RoOrbaeks
tour"-ihat no tour" or book in existence con-
tains any such assertion and that the base forgery
psrpetrated at the Wing Journal Office, at Alba
ny, New York!

GENERAL JACKSON'S REPLY.
HERMIrAeg, Sept. 10, 1874

HERMITAGE, Sept III, 1S44
GENTLEMEN acknowledge, with sincere thank
fitness, the receipt of the beautiful ARM CHAIR de-
scrbed your letter of the 9th instant, and gladly
accept il.
II is OF the consultations Of old age, il APP
prosches the close Of its earthly abors find tha il
is object of aectionste solictude. He who takes
correct view Of the career Of man, must see that,
at best he is but poor creature, with little power to
do good, and that the sphere Of that little has been
wisely laid 10y Providence 10 the cultivation and i'm
proyement of his social relations thus increasing at
the same time, his dependence on his felow-man
and the measure OF his future accountability. IL,
thus judged, gentlemen, am deemed worthy Of this
tribute Of your affection will indeed lessen the in
hrmities of my advancing age, because it will enable
me TO look back upon the past with increased salts
fac ton.
In the retrospect of my life, like to dwell on the
tokens have received Of Deghborly love and Of my
country's goodness. They fiji my bosom with grati-
tude, aud call into exercise those affections and
tments which we taught to cherish as the best
preparation for final separation from this world and
for meeting with our God.
thank you, gentlemen, for the too partial terms
in which you have adverted to my agency IN guard
ing the interests Of our beloved country. Having
borne part IN the warfare Of our independence a nd
felt the rod Of oppression, it natural Tor TO
take deep interest in the cause of liberty and i'm.
bihe Jealousy Of foreign influence in our nationa
affairs. Obeying this influence have done no more
than my duty when called into the field Of battle,
into other branches Of the public service; and have
sought no higher reward than the appreciation Of my
fellow citizens.
In respect TO the question which has arisen out Of
the proposition TO Texas to the United States
and which furnishes much sson to fear that owing
TO British influence, IT may not be settled in the
manner best calculated to promote the peace and
happiness of our country, you aware tina, have
expressed my opinion on all suitable occasions The
decision OF the whole question is with the American
people and they will test the accuracy of my views
respecting its importance when am removed from
the stage of action. Except for their good, | can
have no interest in the question.
i Wishing you, gentlemen, health and prosperity,
subscribe myself, with many thanks for your kind
ness, your friend and fellow citizen,
Il ANDREW JACKSON.
