JAMES K POLK

II ID we'll known fact that Ezekiel Polk,
the father If tho l~ocof0co candidate for the
Presidency, WA a rank tory in The days Of
the Revolution. Far be it from US, however,
to seek to draw All Influence unfagorable &c
the Character and patriotism Of James X.
Polk, because Of he disgraceiuI part taken
BY his ancestors 10 The struggle for jndepsn.
depcc. Let every man be guided by bio acta;
and If the ~loeofoc0 candidate can be proven o
statesman and a patriot, lot bm not be con.
denned for tho sins Of those over whose ac-
ttqns he could NECESSARILY exert no control.
But how stands James k. Polk affected to-
wards tho patriots Of The revolution. We
are sadly afraid that tbs records Of Congress
will detDanstrate that lie has Inherited some
what Of the truculent and refractory spirit 81
dis grandfather. The degenerate current
that flowed through the veins Of Ezekiel Polk
seems to have coursod through the arteries
ofthis latest scion Of the stock, wcnoverthe
services and claims Of the boary and inpoy.
efiShed veterans Of the Revolution we're
brought before The National Congress. 1t IL
recorded that James X, Polk did, during his
Congressional caresr on each and every
occasion vote AGAINST the compensation
asked by the surviving patriots Of l71G, whc,
wasted by years and lufrmitios, we're COM
PEELED 10 ontreat a pittance to sustain the
waning energies Of paturo. For proof Of the
facts We refer TO the following paragraphs ia
ken from the Columbus (GaJ Enquirer. II
will be seen that the volumes aud pages Of
the Congressional debates are Indicated as
establishing whatever is here stated:
In 1925, when the present democratic can.
dida,e was in Congress, a bill was before the
House to make some compensation TO the
officers of the revolution, and relieve Them
in the declining years Of life, On tic pas
a Of this bill, James K Polk voted NO.
In 1880, a bill granting pensions to the
veterans OF the Revolution, who had stood
by the cause Of their country when Washing
ton led them 10 battle, was put upon its pts
sage, when James K, Polk made speech OF
length against it, and voted NO,
In 1881, a similar bill was before the House
providing foI the relief Of The revolutionary
soldiers, and James X. Polk voted againstit.
IN 1892, he voted against the Revolutions
pension blI-sbowing coclusiyely, that III
every instance where an opportunity offered,
he has manifested a hatred to those who won
tho freedom OF The country, in spite Of the
ToRYIsM Of "his long line Of ancestors" A
man had as well been a tory himself as to de-
ny to an old worn out soldier Of the Revolu
ion a bit Of bread on thu brink Of the grave.
