has the question been put, have You found
out "who is James X. Polk"
And now the country has before it the first
annual message of James *. Polk. To say
thatit is clearly, manfuliy, ably written,
with nothing of the non-committal about 1t,
is but what the Wings admit. But this IS
not praise enough. 1t is a document wor-
thy of the occasion, and yet such paper as
those who knew thoroughly who James *.
Polk was, expected, and, from his whole po-
~litical course. had rightto expect. It's
wholly an American production: American
in feeling and principle. 1t places this ma
ton i'll a proud and commanding attitude in
the ewes of the world: and it establishes
James X. Folks claim to be regarded in
fact, as he is in name, the head of the nation.
Who is James h. Polk? do the Wings
still continue to ask? Democrats may re-
ply tIat he is a statesman worthy OF his eX-
allied place;wiio has the sagacity to COM
prchcnd his position and what his country
requires at his hands, and the iirmneSs to
perform his duty with fcarlessncsS and inde-
pcndcncc; who in our foreign relations, takes
i stand that will astonish Europe, and as to
orr domestic relations, proposes a policy
that will command its admiration. Fortu-
nate for the Democracy, fortunate for tle
people, fortunate for America, fortunate for
international freedom the world over, IS Il
that James *. Polk is the man that is PrcSi-
dent of the United StateS.- Boston Post.

because we are requested to do so by many
