cling my primo pies to vote for him, although he
will serve my long cherished purpose-thas of
keeping Texas out of the Union. This IS spe-
cIes of logic which is entirely below my compre
henslon. Suppose thero was GRADUAL enancl-
patton party among the Shareholders of the South.
and Henry Clay of such party, and he
were nominated for the Presidency. upon tho
ground that he could be very efficient in promo
ting their grand obect-the gradual. though final
and complete emancipation of every slave In the
Union-would it be violation of prncip or
consistency, for one in favor of immediate aboll-
tion to choose between him and ono like James
X. Polk, nominated for the sole purpose of sus-
tanning and perpetuat,ng slavery? Who will say
yes to this question: Our worthy friend, Gerrit
Smth-that truly great and good man-wouId,
without the least hesitation, answer no.
Well then, if an abolitionist may, under such
circumstances, vote for a stakeholder, to put down
slavery, can he not with equal consistency, vote
for Shareholder, to prevent the extension OF
slavery! But the annexation of Texas, involves
not only its extension, but its very existence in
the present slaveholding States. Such is the de-
clarod opinion Of many of the sagacious men of
the South and in my Judgment, they are correct.
Viewing tho matter in this light, what better can
do than vote for Horny Clay
But my only design on taking up my pen was
to request you to do me the favor of sending mo
! paper containing your reasons tor your present
course. My desire to sec them 10 increased by
tho fact that q native of Madison County.

On the Sd Of March 1886, bill Ill, entitled an
act for the continuation and repair Of the Cumber-
land Road in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, came be-
fore the House, and on tho question:. ''shall this
bill pass?" James X. Polk voted in the negative!!M
We have thus at the labor Of examining about
5000 pa cs of tho Journals of Congress, made
whilo Polk was a momber of Congress, traced,
out Folks votes on the Cumberland Road, and we
find he was always opposed to it and never in ia
vor of it. We defy any man to find vote of
James X. Polk in favor of the Road. Such
vote he never gave. On the contrary, when he
had occasion to speak on the subject, he never
failed to denounce the Road, and with it the
whole system of informal improvement, as uncon-
stitutonal and unwise-as a part of a grand
scheme, by which the North and West were en-
dcavoring to plumber and rob the South.
In Wow Of these facts we ask tho freemen of tho
North-of Ohio-of the whole West, can you
will you suffer yourselves to DO gulled and then
pundered and robbed Of your votes, to elevate
such a man as James h. Polk to the Presidency!
