The Question Answered.

To give some answer 10 the great inquiry,
Who is James X Polk :" we may remind our
readers thai Polk has been member of Con-
gress, and was once Speaker of the House
few wears ago Being something of popular
stump speaker in Tennessee, and favorite
of Gen. Jackson, he got elected Governor of
that State in 1889. In lS4l he again took the
stump for reelection, when James &. Jones,
a plain Whig Farmer, also took the stump and
followed him throughout the State. Farmer
JONES was Uiumphanily elected Governor over
this famous Locofoco champion. Lawyer Polk.
Ia lS43 Qast year, he again took the stump for
Governor, and openly avowed his Locoloco
doctrines, opposed to The present Protective
Tariff Jones again followed him, boldly STA
king his election on the cause OF HENRY
CLAY and Protective Tariff and all The
prominent Wing measures; and he beat Polk
again worse than ever, in spite of the influence
of Old Hickory 10 back him! Such is The Lo-
coioco candidate who is brought up at this late
day to run against Henry CLAY-or rather
such is The man lhe divided and dishearlened
party leaders have taken up to poke off The dis
grace of defca, from their old nags.
And then the putting on of Sias Wright of
New York, man VIGOROUSLY the ablest sta,es-
man of The party, (probably even superior to
Van Buren, himself,) as Vice President under
Polk. was ridiculous enough TO be sure. Sena-
tor Foster of Tennessee, who knows Polk well,
exclaimed when The news reached Washing
ton, that they had formed complete Konga-
roo ticket !" for said he, The strength is all in
he hipd legs"
But Silas was not so green as TO stand such
a nomnaton-to be beaten as second best with
Polk; especially in view of the indigniiy with
which his friend Van Buren had been treated.
lie said they had cast off Van Buren FOR his op-
position TO Tyler's Texas scheme, and declared
hls own determination to stand by the same
sentiments as his friend had maintained.
So they then took up George W. Dallas
Aad ~ho is he :? Is not even he superior to
P"lk Ia talent, age and experience He is a
usn between so and 90 years of age, while
Polk, according TO the biography given by his
own party, is not YET 49. Bul look at Dallas
course as u. S. Senator from this State, and
aew does il square with The modern notions OF
denocracy? He supported the u S. Bank
,ifaugh thick and thin. in IT'S struggle for re-
rhaf,er in Congress. He not only introduced
The Bill himself, aud ably advocated and voted
for II, bui he supported ii after Gen. Jack.

As these worthless characters are eooming bet

the less surprised that they should ever have
been presented as candidates for the highest of

The Foreign News.

We give full synopsis of the foreign news
brought to Boston on Sunday afternoon last by the
Acadia steamer, and thence to this city yesterday
morning by the government express. 1t is rather
interesting, but not overwhelmingly so.
The statement first published in the "Liverpool
Times" of treaty having been negotiated by Mr..
Cushing between China and the United States, is
generally doubted. So also is the story first put in
motion by The London Times," that the minis.
tiers of repudiating nations were to be cut in the
diplomatic circles at the British court. Equally
doubtful is the engagement of Taglioni tor the
United States theatres at Ss50,0OO year. The
rest of the news is worth two cents

The Great Native Meeting-A Monster.
The Great Native County Mass Meeting was held
last night in the Park, and such another assem-
blage, in point of numbers, enthusiasm, flags, mot
toes, oratory and spirit, we have never yet seen
paralleled in New York 1t was decidedly one.third
larger than any Wing or Democratic meeting we
have ever beheld in this city. Both Wings and De-
mocrats were thunderstruck. A full report will
be found in another column.
The Natives declare their unalterabe purpose to
be to 60 on their own hook-to make no compro-
misses or coalition with any party; but they are
ready to absorb within their capacous bosom the
rank and file of both the old parties. According
to all appearances the whole Native congressional,
senatorial, and assembly tickets, will be carried by
Overwhelming majorities but how Polk or Clay
will come out in this city, is greater mystery
than ever. We know what is-but God only
knows what is to be. All is confusion.
