Mr.. Polk, says Prentice, intends making a
visit to North Carolina in June In doing this
he will be imposing an exceedingly disagreea-
bic task upon the true hearted men of North
Carolina. Lest they might subject themselves

and neglect the President Of the United States,
they will be under the revolving necessity Of
rendering seeming honors to James X. Polk.
