THE PEOPLES RESPONSE TO THE CON-
VENTION OF CONFIRMATION.
Three cheers three cheers-to the glorious good
cause,
To our freedom and peace secured by the laws;
The bright star of hope on our standard is beamng,
The eye of each patriot with exstacy's cleaning
For the South and the North in concert are rising,
For our bold Henry Clay and good Frelinghuysen!
Three checrs--three cheers-to Columbia's bright
name!
Her star-spangled banner III still glitter in flame;
Its bright stars and its stripes are still destined to
wave,
"O'er the land of the free and the homo of the
brave"--
For the East and the West in power rising,
For our bold Henry Clay and good Frelinghuysen
Three cheers--three cheers-to those who poured
out their blood,
And babe the standard of freedom float on the food
So Washington, Warren, Montgomery, and Greene,
Are looking down from their clouds with aspects
For the old and the young united are rising
For our bold Henry Clay and good Frelinghuysen
And now three chcers--three cheers--for the dark
Bloody Ground!
May all that is great and noble there ever be found
May the men all be brave, and the women all fair,
And a tyrant ne'er breathe in its purified air.
For old Kentucky, like her sisters, is rising,
For her own Henry Clay and good Frslinghuysen
Three cheers--three cheers--wenl give for Colum-
bias fair!
By the brave and the good they are ever held dear
Now no longer Dick Johnson shall tarnish their
name, g
To the world they'll assert their unspotted fame
For, 10! in their charms and beauty they're rising,
For our bold Henry Clay and good FreIinghuysen!

POLK'S PIETY AND TEMPERANCE.
Hlo MAJ, of lnt dot

i The New York Plebean, OF late date, says
"Governor Polk is not only religious man, end
a strict member of church, but he is also rigid
member Of a temperance society"
We should be glad to believe that Mr.. Polk
| had reformed We know what sort of tempe
rance man he was some eight years ago, when
he was in the habit of pulling his constituents to
the grog shop by the elbows Fifty thousand
men in Tennessee will testify that the pious and
abstemious Mr.. Polk has spent hundreds of dol
Iars-perhaps thousands-in "treating" his con-
stituents to whiskey for their votes. What will
the canting old hypocrite, Amos, say to that?
Viii he deny it? Or will he attempt to allege
in extenuaton that Mr.. P. may have "treated :"
others, but drank none himself? We are, not
prepared to say that Mr.. Polk drank with those
he made drunk, but we can hardly believe that
he would venture to insult freeman by Offering
him dram," while he himself held aloof from
| tive take it for granted, that while engaged in
the pous and praiseworthy vocation of bartering
drains for votes, that common courtesy required
of him to swil the ardent himself, in no inca
sured quantity. If he did not his crime is all
the greater The iniquty of the pous and tenn.
perate gentleman would only stand in holder
relief-hs offence, thus aggravated, would be.a
mere business transaction"-a corrupt bargain
for the SURFACES Of his constituents. We defy
any I,ocofoco to deny that James X. Polk is steep
ed in the practice of treating"
The custom of trea,iDg,' we are aware has
hitherto, unfortunately, prevailed, almost univer-
sally at the South, and that both political parties
have engaged in it more or less Wing politi-
clans, we know. have always abhorrcd it, and the
high minded and honorable among them have
rarely carried it to criminal excess but it is
| the capital stock in trade with Locofoco dema-
gogues. There is always mean and mercenary
class in every society who may be bought in open
market and it is this class at the South upon
which this custom of treating" operates. The
honest and respectable of both parties are far
above its influence, but appear not to be fully
alive to sense of its demoralizng effects upon
the inferior and degraded class above described.
These debased beings may frequently be used to
turn the scale between parties where there is
anything like equal division of sentiment
among the honest and respectable. Denagogues,
Of course, have not failed to employ themselves
in field of labor SO congenial to their natures,
where ne that is most INSCRIPTIONS, is surest Of
success. James X. Polk, the pous and temperate
candidate Of the Locofocos for the Office of Pres
dent. knows the value of gill Of liquor" upon
such people about well as another-and we
will venture the assertion, that he, with all his
piety and abstemiousness, and all his regard for
free trade never lost vote for few cents diff
ference in the price per gallon of the domestic
article-whiskey.
