Death Of Ex.President Polk,

tits with regret that we have to announce,
this week the death of Elk. Presiden, Polk.
This melancholy event took place at his
residence at Nashville, Tenn, on the 18th
instant. The disease Of which he died
was chronic diarrhea, and no, Cholera, as
FIRST reported. 1t seems but as yesterday,
when he was welcomed by the people in
the difsren. places through which be pass.
ed on his return home, and il is about four
months since The termination of his public
life, and he is numbered with the dead
Plainly showing wha, shadows we are and
what shadows we are continually pursuing.
Mr.. Polk was born in this county, on the
% Of November, 1895, and was; a, the
time Of bis death, in the 54th year of his
age. Every demonstration of rsspec, has
been made by the Z. S. Government to his
memory. and numerous public meetings
have been held in various sections for the
same purpose. The following remarks by
the Baltimore Patriot, we have copied, as
being very opposite TO the occasion:
To the life and fortune Of man who
has been the President Of the United States
there belongs an interest which concerns
not only the people Of our own country,
but the people of the civilized world. As
the Chief Magistrate of great Nation, be
must live in history, and with the name of
bis country his own name must be associ.
aled. His election TO The exalted station
Of Chief Magistrate forms an epoch in The
history Of that country as we'll as in his
own life; his retirement from the Presi-
dency marks another period and when
death takes him away the whole nation
feels that one Of the distinguished men Of
the world has gone down TO the grave,
whose departure demands our regrets and
whose memory ought TO command our res.
pect.
Mr.. Polk was the tenth President Of the
United States who was elected to that
"greai Office" He was the youngest Of all
his predecessors, and when he retired he
was scarcely pas, the prime Of life. All the
other Presidents, save only the lamented
Harrison. who died whilst in the station,
hved many years after they had laid down
She honors and cares Of office. Washing.
ton survived to see nearly the close Of the
term of the elder Adams, and Adams and
Jefferson lived through several Admins.
iTations, and went down to the grave to.
gether on the birthday of The indepen.
dence Of the country. Madison and Mon.
roe were gathered in their ripe old age,
md the younger Adams and Jackson fell
like
.Autamn fruit that ripens long"
All were old men, and all lived to see
fhe results of the measures they had pro.
posed when in their high Offices. Mr.
Van Buren,, of all who were elected TO the
-offlee end lived out their term, only sur.
wives. Dir. Polk, the last and the young.
est, even in less than four short months
from The time be Jeff The White House
private citizen, has been called TO his last
account. Death, which spares none, has
taken him away, and, as man eminent 10
his day. and honored by the people, il is
proper for US, as people, TO manifest our
regrets at the sad event, and TO testify res.
pect for the memory Of one who was Tie
