pic and moi ot a party said Mr.. Polk in reply
10 judge Road AZ Cincinnati. and how was il
echoed b. the moderate locoiucos who had be-
for hcen ashamed of their vote for him. and
how too, was it echoed by the weak and red
ulous conductors Of many Wing journals. who
congratulated themselves that a man was cleo
ted who would honestly defeat the wiley
schemes Of ~locoloco pariiSans. They must
have found out their mistake Gre this. have
lsarn; 10 their sorrow that, though Mr.. Van
Bur2n and his immediate party were narrow
mind d, selfish, and corrupt i'm the administrc-
ton of the government, that of Mr.. Polk is
more so, is many steps lower sunk in the in
fanny of political prostitution, and the spoils
policy.
For The truth OF our assertion let facts speak
TO the candid Judgment of the world.
No one who has been a political reader can
fail TO remember that until after the election
IN Virginia, last year, Mr.. Richie was a thor
ough Van Buren, man. After that election
Mr.. Richie continued in his support before
the public; but by the time the Baltimore
Convention came On, he had brought the vir-
GINA delegation into line to vote for the two
thirds rule, out of which grew Mr.. Polk, as
President. Mr.. Richie left Mr.. Van Buren,
bJore the Globe did, and the consequence is
that Messrs. Blair and Rives are forced to sell
ont, and Mr.. Richie has been made the organ
ist oil the party, quite the best Office in the
Presidents gift.
The organization of that Convention is not
To b. forgotten. A certain Mr.. Wright wa,
President of the Baltimore Convention. and
through one of the most unparliamentary de-
cisions he secured the defeat of Mr.. Van Bu-
rem and the nomination of Mr.. Polk. He is
now appointed to an important Office. Thus.
do not only the Wings, AMI the TYLER men.
have to stoni aside; but Old Hunkers must
be thrust out f.r Simon Pure Polk-men.
