/ reached this town yesterday, in the stage
coach from Nashville, 40 miles, on a good turn
pike road. This is one of the finest counties of
land in the State, and inhabited by an intelligent
and wealthy class of people. AS you are aware,
Gov. Polk, the Democratic candidate for Presi-
dent, resides in this place. / had the honor of
taking tea at his house last evening, and Of en-
Toying the society of himself and his amiabls
and splendid lady. His features are strongly
marked by evidence of intellect, blandIess, firm
ness and benevolence. His head would be es.

which the Intellectual and moral faculties ara

ting. The upper part of the head rises above
the ears. The organs of benevolonce, yenera-
ton and 6rmness, are prominently deyeloped.-
Col. Folks character, through a long public life
is known TO correspond with these characteristics
of his mind.
He represented the Congressional district in
which he lives, for IA years. While he has at
all times had strong political opponents in Ten
~nessee, he IS without a personal enemy in tbs
State. All with one accord, declare, that they
know of no spot or blemish on Col. Folks whole
private life; that a better neighbor, a kinder mas
Ter, a more indulgent aud faithful husband, or a
more upright, honest, benevolent and moral man
they never knew. When The Roorbdck SANDER
reached Tennessee, even the Wings cried out,

like the truth. All his opponents in Tennessee
admit, that there is not a kinder man TO his SER
wants TO be found in the State. Col. Polk is not
rich. He has a moderate property, and owing
nothing, is independent. He does not own for
ty slaves in the world. What he has, consist of
families, many of them small, having inherited
them principally through his lady. He has par
ted with some Of his best servants 10 crafty their
wish TO be with their wives. In other instances
E he has purchased at high rates the wives of his
men from other parties, and also the husbands Of
his women, in order, as far as possible, TO keep
families together, and by that means 10 make
them more comfortable and happy.
His lady is both beautiful and accomplished,
and is a consistent member of the Presbyterian
= church. There is not a human being living,
that is an enemy to her.

s. During his whole life, he has been strictly a
temperance man in everythingy---in liquor, tobec-
co, in eating, and in all respects. He never gam

| should say the most prominent trait Of his mind
J was that ofMoaAL COURAGE, Il rare and valuable

He made a good and faithful representative,

The political excitement in the West, and es-

poles. Whatever may be said of Tennessee, it
certainly produces the tallest Hickory Poles in
