Speculation is aaoa; (says the Southern
RefOrmer,) as to tho course of James X.
Polk. We can assure all that the cherish.
ed principles of democracy will be found
as strongly developed in his coming con-
duct, as inhis past. He will advocate a
low revenue; oppose the distribution of
the proceeds of the sales of the public
lands; and favor every constitutional mea-
sure for the immediate annexation of Tex.
as. James K. Polk will be found
GAS constant as the northern star

So IT CoEs.-The wings are mourning
over the ignorance and depravity of the
country. This we must expect. They
have one consolation: all they could do by
means honest and dishonest, right and
wrong, fair and fouI--by speeches, songs,
pamphlets, professions, barbecues, and all
the Daraphrenalia of humbug and demago-
query, has been done. If the country is
ruined, it is not their fault. So LET them
be satisfied. Let them now lay aside
coons, Glee Clubs, &C., and be decent as
they profess to be-al will be well. The
sun will rise and sci as usual, until Mil
ler's prediction is verified. James X.
Polk is President Of the United States, in
spite of all the effects of whiggery We
have one request 10 make of them, and
that is, that they will lay aside the name
wing. 1t was sacrilege to assume it at
first. Once it was sacred; il has been
brought into bad odour. 1t has covered
over obnoxious measures which the people
have condemned. Surrender the name !;
we cannot employ It to designate the par
ty hereafter.-Lou. Dem.

Upright OF SEARCH"-This seems
still to be claimed by Great Britain with as much
determination as before The last war. Almost ev.
ery week we hear of some new instance where
our merchant ships have been boarded by British
cruisers under the plea of searching for slaves
They pay no respect to our fiag on the African
coast but treat 1t with as much indignity as they
could the black flag of the pirates. Shall such
things bel Shall we allow our rights TO be tram
pied upon ! our commerce subjected to insult and
oppressionl No, the spirit of free people who
own no master, will ere long be aroused and make
iheeye of the British lion quail beneath its power
Much better would it be if England would turn
her searching propensities TO finding something
equal to DIR. SHERHAN'S INDICATED
L0ZENGES for the relief Of her subjects. They
have now been before the public for more than
five years, and there are no preparations like them
to be found for searching out disease, and bansh-
ing it from the human frame. Worms find no
refuge or hiding place when they are used
Coughs, Colds and Consumptions vanish away,
and Headache, Palpitaton and Nervous Affec-
lions cease the moment one Of Sherman's Cam
phOr Lozenges are taken into the Stomach. There
no mistake in them; they will cure the different
diseases for which they are recon mmsnded sooner
than any preparations now in use. Be sure and
