Cl.7 ot Polk must be chosen, he greatly Prefers
Polk and ne IS doing his best to render that pre-
ference effective. He grossly misrepfesents Mr..
Claws position and views on the Texas question;
no haa been heard in this State to express fears
mat tina Birney vote in Ohio would not be strong
enouyh TO give that State to Polk. Ia short, he
ass been doing his best TO aid the cause Of his
ates, adopted party, and We doubt not he viii do
80 TO the end.
The assertion that the nomination Of Birney
by the Polk party of his County is trick or
hoax is really too barefaced. Ii ne was not nomi-
mated rs we stated, then the Polk party have
made no nominations any where this year. The
Convention wa, regularly called and the towns
nearly or quite fully represented. A full ticket
for some tan or dozen offces) was formed, Biz

thai he had been consulted beforehand on the
subject, aud had asson,ed lie has aecepted.-
