DESPERATION OF THE COONS.
The old beast is getting rabld Having
failed, hitherto, of making any Roadway a
mong thep people by swapping and snarlng
at YoUNG llIcKoRY, the animal has duo up,
in some of its underground operations, an
important thing that is to blow the candi-
date of the people out of existence. The
astounding assertion is made that the
grandfather OF Col. Polk was one Ezekiel
Polk, and that he was tory in the Rcvo-
luton! We'll, the game is up! Col. Polk
must be withdrawn. For lift be true that
the GRANDFATHER was a tory, of
course the grandson ought to suffer for it!
Of course it was the fault of Col. Polk tina,
Ezekiel was his grandfather of course!
What business had James X. Polk TO allow
that old scamp of a Ezekiel to be his grond-
father, the scoundrel! Why he ought to
have regulated that matter long before this.
Allow his grandfather to be tory! aLomi-
nable! detestable! This is almost equal to
Col. Folks allowing his ancestors to have
been lrishmen! THAT was bad enough
in all conscience, but, to this add that he
permitted his granotathcr to be a tory and
the man becomes absolutely horrible. If
CoI Polk couldn't have had more innu-
ence than It would seem he did have over
his ancestors, he will never do tor Presi-
dent. Why, look he-ah! want old 'Ze-
klels name Polk and amt his grandson's
name PoN-and don't that show his gull,
plain as day. Why in thunder didn't this
James X. Polk have George Washington
for his grandfather! Want there good and
true men enough long before this James
was born that he could have had for his
grandfather! There was old Sam Adams.
and John Hancock, and lots more of
darnatlon smart men in them days, and
why didn't the rapscallon have some of
these for his Grandfather instead of that
old Ezekiel! Jupiter we are out of all
sort Of patience with the fellow! His
gradfathcr a tory, when he could have
had it differently just as well as not,
To be serious, however, this coon howl,
Is only an old one pitched in different
key. When Col. Polk was running for
Governor of Tennessee they made a great
lurish of trumpets about it, but unfortu-
naeIy the or lginal Mecklenbcrg declara-
ion of independence was in existance and
his same tory E:rkicrs name among
he signcrS! The foul SANDER was trodden
n the dust long ago, and is now got up
lgain TO bolster up the cause.
But after all, the worst feature in the
,asc is, that Col. Thomas and not Ezekiel
Polk was the Grandfather Of James K!
Poor coonery!
However, lift be a sin to be the de-
'endent of British tory, we wonder how
,oly about two-thrds ofthe present coon

title careful, how they prick the decend-
nts of British tories, or Henry Clay will
