The fractions of cents in the foregoing abstract
are omitted.
From this state of the case, is it not evident that
Thomas Ewing is dishonest man. that he has
speculated off of, and cheated the WIDOWS and
ORPHANS of Revolutionary soldiers, and that
too while an American Senator.
The following extract, from the Ohio Eagle,
printed in the town where Mr. Ewing lives, comes
in very good play:
"Some of our whig neighbors laugh at the bold
attempt made by the Columbus Journal, and other
federal papers, to screen Thomas Ewing from
having speculaed in land scrip while he was a
member of the u. S, Senate. Mr.. Ewing's resi-
dence in this town is not better known to the lead
ing business men of the place, than is the fact of
his scrip speculatons. His political friends here
speak freely oft; and it was only few days since
that we heard the following instance related in a
special company. An acquaintance called on Ew-
ing in this place and informed him Of the wherea-
bouts of certain land scrip which could be bought
for trifle, and requested Ewing to advance the
money and participate in the speculation that might
arise out of the purchase Ewing gave him the
money; not, however, until he had learnt the name
and residence of the holder of the scrip, which was
somewhere along the Ohio river. The gentleman
departed, and after several days journeyng at his
leisure, he arrived at the place, but to his great
modification and disappointment, the former hold
er Of the scrip informed him that he had sold it
few hours since 10 a man by the name of Clark.
So that game being blocked as to him, he returned
TO Ewing and reported the fact Ewing received
the money back, cavied about bearing portion of
the expenses, to which. however, after feigniDg
extreme regret at the failure of getting this scrip,
he acceded. Shortly alter, this gentleman learned
that this Clark tcns none other than an agent Of
Etoing' IS, despatched by him to make the purchase
for him! We of course can not vouch for the
truth of this transaction, but we have il from such
source that we do not doubt it in the least The
game is entirely characteristic of others in which
the same person was engaged"
By the way, would it not be as well for Mr.
Cowen, he is 10 address the people of this
ty on the same day as Mr.. Ewing, to explain why
he voted for the passage of the bankrupt law
Why he voted an appropriation of 40 thousand
dollars to Gales & Seaton, printers, when at the
same time they were receiving more Than the
work had previously been done for' Whether he
did not vote for tax upon tea and coffee?

GOVERNOR POLK.

There is series of questions going the rounds
Of the whig papers, at this time, in relation to
James K Polk, which are in perfect keeping with
the acts of that party. 1t is an old maxim that
whom the gods intend 10 destroy they first make
mad;' which is verified by the whg party; for il
there was ever set of reckless scamps who were
determined to rnle or ruin 10 is the present whig
party. RULE OR RUIN, is their motto, and they
act up to it.
One of these questions is, "Whether James K.
Folks grandfather q was not a Tory in the
American Revolutioni" To this question we
answer, No-and for the proof we refer to the
extracts below Mr. Ezekiel Polk was the grand
father of James K Polk.
When the democrats offered resolution In Con-
gress for refunding fine imposed upon General
Jackson by Judge Hall, for defending the city of
New Orleans from British invaders, whose watch
word was .'beauty and booty" these make-believe
haters of toryism, wished to insert clause, that
nothing in said act, should be so construed as to
impugn the motives of Judge HALL! Notwith-
standing there was nothing said OF Judge Hall in
the act refunding the ne either good or bad; they
alleged as reason that Judge Hall was dead and
could not defend himself When Mr.. Polk is
brought before the people as candidate, then it is
they can attack his dead grandfather. Oh, con-
sistency! Then it is, that the leaders of the whig
party, some of whom were in Congress during the
late war, and voted against granting supplies TO the
American army, can forget all their own toryism,
and SANDER both the living aud the dead.
The Meckienberg (Norlh Carolina) Jenersonian
says: ale Ezekiel Polk) was actively engaged
in two campaigns fighting for independence, aud
afterwards resigned his commission of captain in
the continental Amy He neusr did aid the enc
mics Of his eou,,try in any shape or form This
statement the Jeersouian says they stand ready TO
prove. 0a
That Ezekiel Polk opposed the British we have
the testimony of Captain Jack; which will be found
in the National Archives, vol. 2, p. 1858, which is
as follows: s4
scAPTAIN JACKS CERTIFICATE.
"Having seen in the newspapers some pieces
respecting the declaration of independence by the
people of Meckenberg county, in the State of
North Carolina, in May, l775. and being solicited
to state what know Of that transaction, 1 would

the resolutions, and at the time they were adopted
