" Polk Dallas and The TarF" was the n ~ under which
the party fought, aud the result Oi this aocous swnde is
well known. and will be remembered The vote
OF Pennsylvania was given TO Mr. Polk and lie became
President OF the United States. The same INDUSTRIOUS
fraud attempted In Connecticut md the other NIL

Polk party managed to induce the people in many Gee
lions Of the codntry for Polk on the ground
that MIR. CLAY'S election would really prono. The
Annexation Ut Texas, measure to which many of them
at that time at least. warmly opposed Burney
