Mr.. Polk died the youngest of our Presidents, as
he was the youngest citizen who ever called to
that exalted Office His public life and character
familiar to all our readers. He possessed a well-de-
veloped mind, studious and somewhat austere dis
position, sound, cool and sagacous Judgment In
his official and political career he was firm, determined,
sef-possessed. He had kind and benevolent heart,
social and genial temper. His administration was
brilliant and successful beyond all precedent in our
history. Entering into the Presidency unexpectedly
all parties and politicians, he able to adopt
more Independent course than could have been pur-
sued by any of older politicians. He drew around
him the ablest of his party and thus character
lied his administration the most singularly sue
cessfu in history.
But we have not time space to do justice to
Mr.. Polk's merits. We trust that some appropriate
manifestation of respect will be offered BY ct-
his memory. truly is entitled be classed
among those faithful public servants who have mer-
tied we'll of their country-upon whose tomb may
we'll be written the words of Scripture &C Well done
good and faithful servant, enter in the Joy of thy
master" NeoO Orleans (NeutraD Della.

A RECOMMENDATION.
At season when the providence Of God has mani
hsed itself in the visitation of fearful pestlence
which is spreading its ravages throughout the land,
Il is fitting that a people whose reliance has ever
been in His protection should humble themselves
before His throne, and, while acknowledging past
ansgressions, ask continuance of the Divine Mer-
cy.
It Is therefore earnestly recommended that the first
friday in august be observed throughout the nlted
Sates day of fasting, humiliation, and prayer.
All business will be suspended in the various branch
OF the public service on that days and it is recon-
ended to persons of all religious denominations to
OSan far practicable from secular occupations
no to assemble in their respective places OF public
worship, to acknowledge the Infinite Goodness which
Ids watched over our existence nation, and so
Gng crowned us with manifold blessings, and to i'm
pore the Almighty in his own good time to stay the
ss'foylng hand which is now lifted up against US.
