place for between three and four years, have had
opportunities Ia learn his opinions and character.

of the Temperance society. This Is u inlse-
hood Col. Polk has never been member OF any
Church. nor has he ever left off drinking king Alco-
hol or Joined any Temperance Society. Please send

Editors OF the Penn. Telegraph.
On the receipt of the above letter, the editors
of the Telegraph made verbal request, and also
addressed letter to the editor of the " Union,"
asking for the name Of the "near neighbor" Of
Mr. Polk, referred to above. The editor Of the
"Union' refused to reply. There are strong doubts
expressed, whether he ever had any authority for
this most untrue statement.
OF Gen. WADDY TAoMrsoN publishes a letter
in the Charleston Courier, in reply to certain
charges preferred against him concerning his
course in relation to Texas Annexation. The
