Is in excellent health. Long NAV he contin-

people, wher they know that such man is

they did not despair of the nation. At the

illustrious patriot from his contract, and bid
him save the nation.

direct the plough, or persuade jury, and
prefer these to the tolls of public life; but

Who is James K. Polk.

Among the proceedings Of the Uni

the following is reported:
A resolution was differed by Mr..
dayton calling on the President to
state whether, in his opinion our Or
egon relations do not require an in.
crease of the army and navy.
1t is little astonishing that these
wings, who little while ago, either
knew nothing at all of James X. Polk
or only had heard of him as a "fnh.
rate Tennessee lawyer" now wish to
consult him upon all sides, and wish
to put upon his shoulders the whole
responsibility Of our foreign relations.
The Senate can have possession Of all
the diplomatic correspondence known
to the President, and yet they are un~
able to tell whether the army and ma
Wy should be increased & wish James
K. Polk's opinion to enlighten them.
