The southern wings are denying two conservative
principles to the South and to the friends of the compro
misses OF the constitution. If bill should pass the House
OF Representatives for fastening the Wmot Proviso upon
the whole of New Mexico and California; or, if bill
should pass for emancpatng the slaves in the District Of
Columbia Or if bill should pass for prohibiting slaves
from being taken from State to another then the
southern wings for passing either of these bills BY
the casting Of their Vice President This considera
ton has not escaped the attention of northern wings
Mr. Hudson, wing member from Massachusetts, writes
thus to wing ratification meeting in Worcester:
"Another consideration has weight in my mind. The
northern States have majority in the House of Repre-
enaives, but the Senate equally divided there being
fifteen free and fifteen slave States If the lines should be
drawn the question of slave extension, and the Senate
should divide geographical lines, the casting
be given by the Vice President The views Of Mr.. Fill
more are well known this subject He is northern
man in the highest and best sense Of the term"
1t was this meeting which adopted the following reso-
luton:

The following brief sketch is from the pen of one who
has known the distinguished statesman of whom he
writes for many years
In 1928 first saw James K Polk in the House of
REPRESENTATIVES Of the United States was struck with
his mode Of speaking at that time He discussed every
subject that he spoke upon with much ability His
ner, emnenty sincere was calculated to satisfy all who
heard hm that he spoke nothing but what he most sin
cereiy believed; and looking back at this time his
brilliant career in the House OF Representatives can re-
call to recollection debate in which think he said
or dd anything that he did not deem most strictly true
Indeed, II was this fairness of conduct that pushed Mr.
Polk to the highest of the House. When chair
man of the Committee of Ways and Means, he was mas
ter of every subject connected with this responsible sta
ton have seen Mr. McDufie, Mr. Verplanck, and Mr..
Cambreeng the head OF the Finance Committee OF the
House, and have hesitation in saying that no one OF
them discharged their duties with satisfaction than
did Mr. Polk His distinguished course at the head OF the
Committee of Ways and Means satisfied his ellow-mem-
bers that he would make an excellent presiding officer OF
the House; and hence he reached that post To
such as saw him in the Speakers char. II is unne.
cessary say with what marked ability he discharged
the duties Of that high trust During the time that he was
there he the applause of his political opponents as
we'll political friends None OF his decisions as Speaker
were ever reversed His representative character which
of no ordinary brilliancy, ushered in his nom
nation to the presidency of the United States How he
has acquitted himself in this exalted position, all are able
to Judge Some attribute mans success to good for
tune )" but, invariable rule, we find that man
reaches the highest posts of the country step by STEP and
holds them, without possessing high order of intellect
Mr. Polk Is the youngest President we have ever had,
ana mas risen from Inc oouy Vi Tue people 10 De te cniel
of magnificent republic. And, more than that
ering the Executive chair, he finds the country the
verge of war with Mexico, and shortly after hostlties
are actually commenced; yet. in few short years. he
carries and closes of the most brilliant wars that
graced the page of history And, having restored
peace, we now see him making ready retire TO ms home
Tennessee with much Iusre about him has shone
around any of his predecessors We have said this much
briefly about President Polk, because he is entitled to it,
and because his early history TO have been
looked by many who have not matched his bright steps Of
progress from the House of Representatives to the Ex
ecutive Observation-Disclosures argus.
