Mr.. Polk made prodigioas efforts 10 elect him,

sioes 10 be brought forward 81 a candidate
for the Vice Presidency but If ho should be
defeated in that election, it would prove that
he was weak at home and unfit TO run on d
national ticket. Never did a candidate make
more vigorous and constant oxertions ID be
