JAMES X. POLK'S VOTES. TAKEN
FROM THE JOURNALS OF THE,
HOT Sc OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
The Whig standard. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1843-1844, 1844-03-27

What kind Of an organ has the Wing party got
here! q do not allude to Messrs. Gales & Sea-
ton, beloved and esteemed by all who know
them.) But what must we think Of paper that
has almost invariably this session omitted to re-
port all the great Wing Speeches, and most able
ones they were, made by Schenck, C. B. Smith,
Stephens, Hardin, &C.? Such course cannot
be good policy. Smith and Hardin, within the
last few days, have completely taken the hide off
Mr.. Van Buren, and his Locofoco friends and
done il, too in the cleverest neatest, and most
gentee manner, so that the sufferers had to adj
mire the manner in which they were scourged.
The above paragraph we take from the letter
Of the special correspondent Of the New York
Tribune. AS there are but two Wing papers in
this city, the Intelligencer and the Wing Stand
ard, and as the Istelligencer is excluded of course
the Standard is alluded TO and might as well have
been named. And what is the complaint! That
the Standard, paper somewhat less than the
Tribune, does not publish all the Wing Speeches
made in Congress-, or even. any Of them. The
correspondent is evidently about as well informed
in regard to newspaper matters in this city as he
was about the probable vote in the Senate upon
the Texas annexation question, should that ques-
ton have come before that body. The Standard
has not room for speeches at leng,h and if it had,
the support given it by the Wings in Congress
and elsewhere is not such, yet, as to warrant the
great expense which would be incurred by en-
ploying corps Of reporters, and some eight or
ten additional compositors. We will venture to
affirm that we have expended FIVE dollars for the
promotion of the Wing cause, for every one the
writer Of the above paragraph has expended, and
devoted five hours of time to his one, to the same
purpose.
There are those who are forever complaining
that papers do not publish matter enough, and
are eternaly calling for more, more, who are as
economical of their money as they are prodigal of
their censure. We know not, of course, whether
the writer of the above belongs to this class of
croakers but it would not at all surprise US to
learn that he was one of those who save their
pennies and profer their adUice.

DEATH OF GENERAL PORTER.

Gen. Peter B. Porter, the brother in-law Of Mr.
Clay, and Secretary of War under J. @. Adams,
long an influential and leading Statesman, died at
his residence, Niagara Falls, on the Goth inst. in
the list year Of his age The Buffalo CONNER
cal well says: 5 u
An extended notice of the life of Gen. Porter
would be history of Western New York from
the smallest beginnings until the present time,
and involve narration of many, very many, Of
the most important and glorious achievements of
our country, for nearly halfa century, in peace
and in war. t
This must be left to the future biographer who
DESTROYS of promoting the just fame of his coun-
try, will secure to it full and impartial recital of
the life and actions of Peter B. Porter.
We may, however, acknowledge with gratitude
the services of the living and pay our humble
tribute to the memory Of the illustrous dead
And humble indeed must our tribute be 10 the
memory Of one who has left so many and such
enduring memorials.
The production Of his genius in the halls of le-
gislation, and in the cabinet the prosperity Of
Western New York, our system of internal i'm
Provements, Lundy's Lane, and Bridgewater, and
Fort Erie, all, all are monuments of his. fame
These are left for him, and for us--but his great
intellect Is withdrawn-and that heart imbued
with noble sentiments, SO alive to the glory and
happiness of its country, has now ceased to beat.
The voice instructive in council and eloquent in
debate, that was often raised in its country's
cause, above the din of battle, is now still in
death! The patriot has departed
We may still cherish his memory and revere
his name-and this may and will be done by
many who are removed far from us, and by those
who will come after us--but by none will that
name be honored as by us who were his neigh
bors and his friends.
We who knew him I" in the mild majesty of
private life" we who have witnessed his less
glorious, but more endearing virtues, will be the
first to honor him who has done 80 much to honor us
