OUT OF THE FOUL PARTY.

MICHIGAN CoMING.-The undersigned, citizens
OF the township of Orion, in the county of Oak
land, believe it is the duty of every man to exer-
else the right of suffrage in such manner az to
promote the best interests of the country. The
undersigned have heretofore voted with what is
called the Democratic party; but we have con
cluded that our duty good citizens, requires Nc
to do SO no longer. We are not influenced in the
course we are taking by any sinister motives
we are free citizens, and pay our taxes cheer
luliy TO support the government We court the
favors OF 70 man, and we fear no mans frowns.
the leaders of the Democratic party have always
told us that they were the exclusive friends Of
the people; and supposing they told us the truth,
we have always followed the party in all its wind
lngs. But look at the principles of the party.
Ihey oppose protective tariff, and are trying to
destroy our home market, and lessen the price of
the products of our industry. They are opposed
to sound currency, and are determined to COM
pei the people to do business with kind of mo-
ney IN which nobody has any confidence. They
are IN favor of annexng Texas to this country,
and hereafter permitting the power and influence
OF human slavery to rule the people of the North.
Inc Wing party are in favor OF protecting
American Industry, and enabling us to sell our
agricultural products for fair price. They are
IN favor of sound currency, so that the people
can DO business without a loss. They are oppo-
sed to the annexation of Texas, and unwilling to
increase the peoples taxes, to pay off the debts of
a foreign slaveholding country.
We think any unprejudiced man, who will
think for himself, and examine into those things,
will come to the conclusion that the principles of
the Wing party are the true Republican prnci-
pies of the country and that the doctrines of the
Democratic party are opposed to the interests of
the people. We have come TO this conclusion,
and we are determined to give our votes hereaf-
ter for the men and the measures of the Wing
party. We call upon our neighbors and friends
to throw off the shackles of the Democratic party,
as we have, and like independent citizens, go for
the best interests of the country.

JAMES X. POLK AGAINST THE REVO
LUTIONARY SOLDIERS.

Several of the Locofoco papers, among them
the Globe, deny that Mr.. Polk voted against the
bills for the relief of the Revolutionary pension
ers-men who spilled their blood in achieving
the liberty we now enjoy. Those who doubt the
fact as stated, can settle the matter for ever by
referring to the House Journals and Register of
Debates, as specified in the following summary
"An act for the relief of certain surviving Off
GERS and soldiers of the army of the Revolution"
This bill was voted against by Mr.. Polk both
on ordering ii to third reading, and on its pas
sage, on the 18th May, l825.-See Journal of that
year, pages 1877, 73s, 739, 74O, and TAI.
"a bill declaratory of the several acts to pro-
vide for certain persons engaged in the land and
naval service of the United States in the Revolu-
tionary war;"
This bill was voted against by Mr.. Polk, on
ordering to be engrossed and read third time,
on the 18th March, 1880, and on its passage, on
the 10Th March, l83O-See Journal of that year,
pages 43s, 439, 443, and 444
As rected in the Register of Debates -" The
House went into Committee of the Whole on the
bill supplementary to the act of 1928, for the re-
lief of certain surviving officers and soldiers of
the Revolution"
This bill was voted against by Mr. Polk, on
ordering to be engrossed for third reading, on
the 18th February, 163l.-See Register Of De-
bates, vol. 7, pages from 725 to $50. On the
passage of the bill the yeas and nays were not
taken.
GA bill in addition to an act entitled AN act
to provide for certain persons engaged in the land
and naval service of the United States in the Re-
evolutionary war, approved March IL, 1881
This bill was voted against by Mr.. Polk, on or
dering to be engrossed and read third time, on
the LIST Of May. 1882, and on its passage on the
I'd May, lS32.-See Journal of that year, pages
900, SOL, 692, 695, and $685.
