Mr.. POLK-TiIE OFFICE-SEEKERS.
For the next four months ]. X.
Polk need expect very little peace.
He will BIZ "terribly afflicted" in the
language Of astrology, by troops of Of
e-seekers and expectants, some Of
whom have already stated on a pill
grimage to Tennessee, not having the
patience to wait till Mr.. Polk shall ar
rive at Washington. 1t is fortunate for
this gentleman that he possesses suffici-
ent closeness to keep his own counsel,
and enough frmness to follow his own
Judgment, otherwise he would fall, like
General Harrison,a victim 10 the in
cessant annoyance of Office beggars.-
The only chance for peace left him
would be to decamp Immediately, take
Journey to Texas, travel incog, do
anything by which he would escape
the appeals, solicitations and Emporium
tiles of this hungry horde. The indi-
viduals who have taken so early an OPP
portunity TO annoy him will probably
come back as wise as they went, hav-
ing the expense of their journey for
their pains. A fellow of this kline, be
fore the election, visited Col. Polk, in
Tennessee, and endeavored to extort a
promise, in case of the success of the
Democratic party, that he should be
continued in Office. After talking for
nearly an hour, the anxious man said,
"Well, Colonel, whai do you say to
this?" "Why," replied Mr.. Polk,

PLANK ROAD.

The citizens residing on the line of
communication from Chicago to Rock
ford, are taking vigorous measures to
construct Plank Road between these
two points. They sent Mr.. Edward
b. Talcott, an experienced Engineer
to Canada to examine the plank roads
constructed there, and ascertain their
cost, &c. He has returned and made
a report, in which he estimates the cost
of plank road on the proposed route
at S3,2lS 4Sper mile. The work will
be commenced early in the spring, or
as soon as charter can be obtained
from the Legislature. The committees
are composed Of the most energetic and
responsible business men of that sec
ton of country, and we entertain but
little doubt the work will be prosecu-
ted with vigor to lis completion.
This fact should rouse the citizens Of
the Territory to the necessity Of some
corresponding action, in order to save
the trade and travel of that portion Of
country, which would naturally seek Il
Lake port in the Territory, if the fac
lilies for travel are equal to those lead
ing to Chicago. We need not let Chi
cago get the start Of us in this matter.
