WHO IS JAMES KNOX PoLKs

The following is an extract of letter re-
ceived by a gentleman in Sampson county,
from William D. Mosely, Esq, now citizen
Of Florida. Mr.. Mosely, as is we'll known
to most of our readers, is a native of North
Carolina, and for years occupied a conspicu-
Gus place in the public eye of his native State.
He was Speaker of our State Senate, during
the Session of 1884, we believe. To those
who knew Mr.. Mosely, and we believe
there are few who did not, it is unneces-
sary to say any thing about the amount of
credence TO be placed in the contents Of the
extract.-To those who did not, We will only
say that there lives not man in whose state
ments we would place more confidence than in
| those of VIM. D. Mosely. The letter, as appears
from its wording, was written Immediately
after the Baltimore Convention, and conse-
quently, was not brought forth by the charges
against Mr.. Folks character made by the
Federal presses, as none had then been made,
1t is the spontaneous tribute of one pure mind
to the excellency Of another.

DESPE RATION.

It is, we think, one of the very best signs
Of the rapidly waneing prospects and hopes
of the Federal party, the reckless course
which their Journals throughout the Union
are just now pursuing--and although 1t
does not exculpate them, still me must adj
NIT that the desperation Of their cause, may
be offered as some pallia,ion for the unprinc;
pied course they are pursuing towards their
fellow-citizens of the Democratic party. They
are just now lowering about the mouth ofSalt
River, and we ought not to think it very
strange, that their presses, always unscrupu-
lous, should, in their wild and desperate eff
forts to escape its entrance, forget entirely any
little sense of fairness and propriety, which
they possessed in their more prosperous days.
We recollect what an unpleasant voyage it
was four years ago. And when we see our
Federal opponents guilty of acts of merely ex-
travagant folly, we feel inclined to fling a veil
of charity over them, and set them down to a
kind Of mental alteration, occasioned by the
contemplation of the dreary prospect, which
| lies on the OtneG size or november. Sucn,
for instance, as calling the meeting of the
Clay Club in this Town the other evening
a large and enthusiastic one. This, although
very foolish, We feel disposed to pardon, un
der the circumstances. But there are certain
acts which no amount of charity can possibly
pass over, without giving them their prope
names, and speaking of them, as we think i
becomes every man who has any regard 70
the public morals of our people. Take an in

Now it turns ont that the whole Of the ex-
tract was barefaced fabrication-that no such
book as Roorbacks' travels is, or ever was, in
existence. This has been copied into the
Wing papers throughout the Union. From
our hearts we pity the honest men of the Wing
party, who are leagued with such prostitute
wretches as the Editor CT the Evening Jour-
nal.-Again, James Watson Webb, sets in
motion bug bear of story about IS English
Gold'' being sent to this country to pay for
the circulation of free-trade documents. Now
we would ask our readers what credit they
would give to a statement of this kind, when
made by man who has received thousands
and thousands of dollars from the late United
States Bank, for Prostisuting his pen to the
advocacy of its sinking fortunes. Indeed W.
would warn our readers to be cautious in re
ceiving any statements which they may fine
in Wing papers, until they have some confirm
atory evidence of their genuineuess. w,
warn them that every effort will be made
that no stone will be left unturned-that per
sonal attacks upon the pure and spotless cha
racter of our candidate will be made, by tn
Northern Capitalists, from whose hands tn
glittering ball Of monopoly and exclusive pri
vlleges. is fast gliding away, and by the Abo
litionists, who we'll know that Jas. X. Polk
election will put an extinguisher upon their in
sane attempts to subvert our Southern Inst
