On Saturday evening last, the Both Of June.ult
we received by the Southern mall paper entitled
the "Charlotte Journal" published at Charlotte,
in Mecklenburg County, N. G. the place where
the Folks have for half century resided. With
this Journal we have not heretofore exchanged;
aud is usual with publishers, when they find a
new face in their exchange box, it was among the
very fist that we opened. We found in it, under
the editorial head an article marked around with
ink, for the special purpose of attracting thereto
our special notice. The article was headed
GAMES X. POLK; and on perusing it, the ex-
tent of our establishment can be estimated when we
state that found in it the astounding disclosure
that large portion Of the american people are mono

JAMES X. POLK

The last ocofoco paper published in this place,
contains letter from Judge Saunders, in which
occurs the following extract
"ln voting for such a man, the descendant of
Col Thomas Polk, one of those bold patriots who
signed the first declaration of American lndepen-
dence at Charlotte, Mecklenburg county, " c.,
the 20th of May 1875 | felt was dlscharging a
proud duty in behalf Of the Eeemen Of the second
Congressional District"
The publication of such statement shows what
appliances the locofocos intend to resort to- if pos
sible to ensure the election of their candidates
And the editor cannot plead ignorance of the want
OF truth in the extract Tor We are informed the let
tor shown to several, who notified him that the
statement was FALSE; but notwithsta ntlng he
would send it to the world as truth, to aid in build
ing up a sinking party.
1t was our intention not TO drag into the present
contest any other argument than what mig lat spring
from the examination and comparison of the princI-
pies advocated by the two parties but as an at
tempt is made to deck the candidate Of the Locofo-
co party in plumage shocked" from deceased wor-
thes and patriots Of l775 we have no other CHOICE
but either to let tho fasehood 30 TO the world as
truth or expose 1t.
1t is well known to many Of our citizens that
James X. Polk is NOT descendant of Col. THos.
Polk, the Chairman ojihe yheek!snburg Convention,
but is a grandson of Ezekiel Polk, who WAS A
TORY during our Revolutionary struggle, or what
is considered the same thing, HE TOOK PRO-
lection FROM LORD CORVALLIS, and
had no part lot in forwarding the Afeekienburg
Declaration Of Independence

When the British and americans are contending

James X. Polk, the champion of the British Sys-

ters-Mr Clays of the llth May, to Harrsburgh,
and Mr.. Folks of the 10Th June, to Mr. Kane. of
Philadelphia. Can Pennsylvania, unanimous with
Clay for the Tariff of 1912, hesitate in her choice.

NIGHT SWEATS AND PAIN IN THE SIDE.
Jonathan Haworth, Esq the well known Tenn
perance Lecturer, was attacked with n cold from
sleeping in damp sheets, in the winter OF 1871. lie
neglected it al iIrst but soon found it assuming
somewhat alarming aspect, and then resorted to
the various remedies usually recommended for lung
complaints. When one thing failed he tired an
other, until ne had exhausted his patience and the
whole catalogue Of remedies. His cough was al
most incessant, so that he could get little or no
sleep-atended with pain in his side, splitting of
blood, night sweats, and all the usual symptoms of
Consumption. While at Rome, IN y lac felt that
his end was nigh--that IN that place he must soon
end his journey OF life. ProrIdentially, lady
who visited him advised trial of DR. Sherman 5
Cough Lozenees. He accordingly sent and got a
box and the lirst dose gave him more relief than
all the other medicines he used before. BY the
time he had taken one small box, he was able 10
start for the city of New York, and in three weeks
time he was perfectly restored to his usual health
