THE NEW YORK HERALD AND MR..
POLK

The New York Herald has been repeatedly
quoted to tic democracy Of this section as good
authority on some subjects, and as it is an estab
lshcd rule, we believe, in evidence, not 10 take
a portion Of mans evidence without taking the
whole, We take the liberty Of giving its opinion
OF Mr.. Polk, for fear it may be overlooked b,
those who have been in the habit OF quoting The
Herald We quote from that paper Of May 31s
as follows:
cor tho nomination Of Mr.. Polk, we hardly
know how to speak seriously. A MORE RIplcU
Lous, coNTEMPTIELE, AND FoRLORN CANDIDATE.
WAS NEVER PUT FORTH BY ANY PARTY. He has
neither vgor' responsibility, nor the elements oil
any reputation, below even Captain Tyler and
all the family, including even the cracked head
OF old Wat Tyler. Mr.. Polk is a sort of fourth
or rather iorteth rate Lawyer AMI small poIiti.
clan oil Tennessee, who, by accident. was once
Speaker Of the House Of Representatives. He
was rejected by his own State, as Governor
and now he comes forward as candidate of the
great Democracy Of the United States. OH
what a ridiculous finale. Captain Tyler, with
the patronage Of the Government in his hands,
and the "spoils''
"Warm, rocking, rich,"
can get more Democratic votes in New York.
than Mr.. Polk can, or will do.
The singular result Of all these laughablo
doings OF the Democracy in Baltimore, will be
the election Of Henry Clay by a larger majority
than ever was received by either Jackson or Har.
rison. With Polk and Tyler in the field 10 d..
vide the democracy, who, were they rolled into
one person, would hardly make man, Mr.. Clay
must get tho State Of York with perfect ease -
The same state of democratic disorg anzation will
lead 10 tho same results in other States. The
Presidential election may be said to be decided
as soon as it opens The Democracy will be
scattered to the four winds of Heaven among
these several candidates, and Clay will have to
WALK OVER THE COURSE"
The Herald was considered excellent authori.
ty when it was opposing United States Bank
and its articles were copied in the democratic
papers and referred to on all occasions. It's edi.
tor doubtless has the same "relabIe sources" for
his views in reference to Mr.. Polk-and is pos
sessed Of as "sound head" and "purc a heart"
now US then.

DIsTRICTING TIE STATE.


The democratic candidates of this coun-
" profess to be in favor of dislrictng the
State for the election of members TO Con.
gross; two of them were in the legislature
last session, and have been there repeatedly,
yet the State has not been distrctcd.
At the last session, bill was introduced
in the Senate, for districting the State; a
motion was made to lay il on the table un-
I'll the 4th of July, and OWEN RAW
Inns voted in favor of the mOton-that
is, 20 lay the bill on the table until the 4th
of JULY The legislature generally ad-
iourns from four to six months before the
4th of July, and motion to postpone a
subject to a day after the adjournment of
the legislature, denotes not only a strong
opposition TO the measure, but also desire
to throw it into ridicue: and it was in ia
vor of such a motion as this, that OUcn
Raul,nS, Senator from Howard county,
votcd lie now comes before the people,
protesting 10 be district man-and says
he always was in favor Of that measured
1t cannot be a matter of principle with
him, or he would not have voted as he did;
and if he voted that way once, and was
then district man, what guarantee have
the people that he will not vote that way
again? If the people of Howard county
want the State districtcd-and we know
large majority of them do-thcy had bet
ter vote for a man who is in favor of dis.
tricting from principle, and who, regarding
that principle as correct and sacred, would
resist all efforts to turn the subject into
ridicule.
C. +. Jackson also tells US he is district
man-yet at the last session of the legisla.
ture he steadily opposed every proposition
for districting the State-allcdging as an
excuse for his opposition TO the measure
that Congress had passed law requiring
the States to district! The law that pre-
vented his going for districting the State
then, is still in force, and of course, he can.
not now, more than then, vote for district.
ing. So, if the people want the State dis.
trictcd, they should neither vote for Raw.
Inns nor Jackson. The other democratic
candidates, we believe, also profess to be
in favor of distrcting-but they will take
their cue from Jackson, and he being com
PEELED, in order to be consistent, to vote
against districting, the entire vote of How
ard, should those gentlemen be elected, vii
be cast against districting. Look to this
matter, voters.

thing: ut is supposed shoes are worn, and per

completely obsolete, for as much as is cut out

They have both pledged themselves to
vote against any man who is not in favor
of immediate annexation; Col. Benton is
certainly opposed to immediate annexation,

and fear the entire Wing ticket; Leonard never

DPThc democratic candidates in this
county arc in perfect quandary about
Benton. A large portion of the dcmocra
cy arc utterly and squarcly opposed to the
reelection of the distinguished Senator, in
consequence of his opposition to the imme-
diate annexation of Texas TO the United
States, and for other reasons; another por-
ton still cling TO him and are in favor of
his reelection, right or wrong, dead or
alive: between these two parties, the can.
didatos arc in hot water; they declared in
favor of immediate annexation, and oppo-
sition to any man opposed to t-but finding
this was unpopular among that portion of
the party who were supporting Col. Ben
ton, they have authorized publication sta.
ting that they have moi pledged themselves
to vote against him: now, how they will
satisfy the other party, remains to be seen.
They cannot fairly pledge themselves to
both sides, and we hope the voters and the
wing candidates will make them be little
more explicit. Make them say what they
intend TO do, and after they have said it,
D7ask them if they meant what they
said: leave no room for lodging or future
explanation.

Consistency Of Locotocoism. should not be
forgotten that J. K. Polk, the Locofoco nominee
Tor the Presidency, is the man who on the 22d
OF April, 1884, introduced into the U. S. House
OF Representatives the famous Deposit Bank
bill, which in its results has entaiied incalculable
distress upon the American people. The suffer.
ors from deprecated local bank paper, owe him
a debt OF gratitude, which they will doubtless
hasten 10 pay with interest at the approaching
election. With Polk, the founder OF the Pet
Bank' system, and Dallas, the daddy Of the
National Bank pocketed by Gen. Jackson, as
their leaders, our hard money opponents are

DISTRICT SYSTEM.

The ultra dards in some places are pretending
TO be in favor OF DistTicting the State, and by
this pretcnce they hope to elect their candidates
in some counties; but trust them not! Ii is ther
intention TO defeat the District SyStem they have
defeated it continually for ten years, and all the
time number Of them have pretended to be in
favor OF it.
Many have at various times been elected as
District men, but they always found some pre-.
text or excuse for voting against that salutary
measure and for retaining the odious General
Ticket System. Sometimes they proposed such
inconvenient and ill.shaped Gerrymander Dis.
trcts that no person would agree to them, and
they themselves would agree 10 no reasonable
system Of Districts; sometimes they pretended to
be in favor Of Districtng but when it came to
the pinch they were for that system OF consum-
mate (oolery, Of dividing the State into Districts
and then voting by General Ticket, and some.
times they would raise some bug-bear as pre-.
text for voting against fair and honest District
System. Thus they have acted for ten years,
and thus they will act again.
Two ultra Senators, Fort and Monroe, at
the last session, reported that it was unconstitu.
tonal to District the State, and they are still
in the Senate. They are running in many places
the very same men who have heretofore defeated
the Distrctng Of the State, and they are trying
to fill all the high Offices with anti District men;
their convention repeatedly voted down PROPOSE.
tons in favor Of the division Of the State into
Districts, and their intention is again to defeat
that necessary change in our manner Of electing
our members Of Congress.
Mr.. Holmes, Hard candidate for the Logis.
laturc from this county, few nights ago, openly
opposed the district System, and contonded that
it was unconstitutional; and another Hard sus.
