ton of Mr.. Polk, and at the obscurity
of his past political life. In political rank
he is the equal of Mr.. Clay. He has been
the speaker of the House of Representa-

ever honestly obtained. Mr.. Polk might.
doubtless, like his competitor, have been
Secretary of State, if he had condescended
TO bargain for official dignity. That he las
been speaker, shows that be is the equal in
rank of Mr.. Clay al hat he has not been
secretary proves him the superior.

The editor of the Columbus Miss De-
mocrat, in urging Mr.. Folks claims for the
Vice Presidency, says:
Gov Polk is undoubtedly one of the ables,
champions of republican principles in the
Union, and we shall hail his nomination by
the party for the Vice Presidency, with pride
and pleasure. His name will be a tower o.
strength to our ticket in the south, and will
