GOV POLK AND TIE gPRE-EMPTIONERS8
 AND OCCUPANTS CLAY's COURSE.
 One of the earliest acts of Gov. Polk, after becoming member of the General Assembly of Tennessee, in 1923, now more than twen- ty years ago, was to take the side of the rights of Occupants and dPre-emptioners who had set tied on the public lands. He took this stand, ill favor of securing them in their rights-the fruits of their toll, labor, and enterprize-in decided, open and active course of conduct, and adhered to 1t in his whole subsequent time of legislative service in the S.ate Legls- lature first, and afterwards for fourteen years ill Congress, as is abundantly proved by the Journals ofboth bodies The Journal of the House of Representatives of the Tennessee Legislature will show, atpage 32o, that on the. 27th of November, 1893, as chairman of q committee, appointed to memorialze Con- gress OH the subject of the Western lands of this State, Gov. Polk made an able and labor ed report to the House, accompanied by re- solution, instructing our Senators and Repre-. sentatives in Congress to procure the passage of law, tie main object of which was to secure the occupants seated on our racaat funds, in the right of pre-cmption aa acqut- ring aad completing thsir tafes. The same policy, in regard to the frontier settlers on the public lands, in all the States and Terri, tories of the Union, met with his approval and support during his whole legislative career. How unlike-how totally different, has been the course of Mir Clay While Gov. Polk was fol the terms most farorable to the settlers, Mr. Clay was for ejectiag ttem froma7l rights. The following article lrem the Indiana S:ate Sentinel, quoting the Journal of the Senate ot the United States truly, gives vivid and true accountsof Mir. Clay's course. How, under such circumstances, MT. Clay can hope for the support of Western, South-westerli, and Northwestern settlers, is to us strange and inexplcable The article referred to IS the following .r

TyHE Undersigned respectfully informs the farm \ CTS and planters ofsthe South and West, that he has invented a new portable CREST MILL, well adapted to grinding corn and wheat, by animal pow CT; which he warrants to grind faster, with the same power, than any other kind ofhorse mill in use It is capable of grinding F bushels of good meal per hour; and, with good horses he will warrant it to grind from to bushels of excellent meal or flour in the same time.
 It is deemed unnecessary to give description of this mill, as it ispresumed no one will purchase without first examining and judging of its merits- Suffice to say it is driven by band can be attach ed to any common gin-wheel and for cheapness, simplicity durability and practical utility he war rants it superior to any other portable Grist Mill in use.
 He has one in operation, at his residence, miles Southwest of Little Rock, and earnestly invites all who wish to purchase mill, 10 examine Ii before purchasing elsewhere The price is from $75 to ssl25, according to size and quality.
 He also manufactures, to order, Sfzuw Cutters, Farming Bfills THresing Machines, Gins, Horse Poe- CTS, and all kinds of machinery on the most appro- yed plans, and of durable materials.
 Orders addressed to him, at Little Rock, Arkan- sas, will meet with prompt attention.

 from the debate on the pre-emption bill in 1S3S
 K. SENATE, January 30, 1888, Mr. CHAT of Kentucky, said
 sSHow was 1t with that White House, now so amply furnished--with that famous east room and the little man who occupies so small part of if! Suppose pre-emptioner was to go there and say, Mir. President, this house is too large for you, am an industri- ous cultivator, one off the bone-and- men and claim pre-emption to F<Ft oif this house. Would he not have ss much right to squat down there as to squat down on the public lands! When and where were these encroach- ments to cease Would this bill be the end of the. system, or would they not be called OH year after year until the best of the public do-s main passed from their possession f'
 Mr. WALKER replied, and concluded, by saving
 s.The Senator from Kentucky, (Mr, ClavJ has told us that if this system of squatting Is encouraged, some trespassers may squat even in the White House, and claim pre-emption for it. This is not the first time this session the Senator from Kentucky has referred to the White House 1t seems to haunt his imagina- ton, until he has become fearful that some squatter will claim 1t by pre-emption. Sir, said Mir Walker. never knew of but ONE SQUATTER IN THE WHITE HOUSE, who could he truly called an intruder there, and that was one who was placed there in 1925, with the aid of the Senator from Kentucky, against the will of the people. - Congressional Globe and .4ppendir, January, 1858, page 143
 Six years have rolled by since Mir. Clay was so fearful some sssquattern would sssquat down in the White House p Itnow appears that he wants to squat there himself. Is hc pfe-emplioner2 We know he once declared himself to be in the line of safe precedents, but the people did not ratify the bargain - Upon what does he found claim of pre-emp- ton to the White .House Is 1t upon his abuse of the real prc-emptioners His vote to raise the price of their lands Hisvote to expcl them from their improvements with government troops Or does he found it on his loue for the old countrymen, whom he voted to exclude from the pre-emption bill of 1S3S?
 We think these people will be apt to put tkeir veto now on Mir. Clay's claim to pre- emption on the White House, as he did on their claims ill 183S They will be apt to consider him an ssiatrudern as much as Mr. Adams was, whom Mr Clay put in the White House in l825

To PREVENT WooD DEcAYiNG.-Take twelve ounces of rosin and eight ounces Of roll birthstone, each coarsly powdered, and three gallons of train oil. Heat them slowly, gradually adding four ounces of beeswax, cut ir small bits. Frequently stir the liquor; which as soon as the solid ingredients are unused will become solid on cooling, and may be remelted on subsequent occasions. When it is fit for use, add as much Spanish brown, or red or yellow ochre, or any color you want, frstground fine in some of the oil, as will give the shade you want; then lay |. on with brush as hot and thick as you can some days after the first coat is dried give 1t second It will preserve plank for ages; and keep the weather from driving through brick work. Common white paint may be used on top of 1t. if required, for the sake of appearance Two coats should always be given, and in compound machinery the sep- arate parts should be yarnished before they are put together, after which it will be pr,l-' dent to give third coating to the joints or: to any other part which is peculiarly exposed to the action oI moisture, suchas waterrshootrl flood gates, the beds of carts, the tops ois posts, and all the timber which is nearot within the ground. Each coat should 6c dry before the parts are joined or the last cont: applied. The composition should be anplled when the wood Is perfectl dfy. V IS neces- sary to mention that compo sitlons nladc uf hot oil. should, for the pcke q secs,risy, be heated in metallic vessels, in the open air, fog when the oilis brought to the boiling point. or 600 of Fahrenheit, the vapor catches frei and though a lower degree of temperance should be used il, this process, it is not ai- ways possible to regulate the heat, or to pre-. vent the overflow of the materials; in either of which cases, were the melting performed in house, fatal accidents might happen.
