Death Of EX-PreSident Polk.

James X. Polk is no more! He died at his resi-
dsnce in Nashville on the 18th inst, of chronic
diarhoea. Thus, SO soon to perish, after passing
through the duties that encompass human ambition.
will create a painful feeling of sadness in the breas,
of every good citizen throughout the Union. What
ever the texture of his past public acts, partizan
feelings mnst now be dropped. The future histo-
rian will do HIM full justice. Glorious achieve.
ments were performed and great measures effected
during his administration, which, for good or evil,
stand among the most prominent on the pages of
our past history. ~ ..
Asa man (for we have known him since our
childhood) none had a better heart than James K.
Polk. He was strictly moral and correct in all the
associations Of life, a warm friend and a benefacs
tor to the poor. He was born on the I'd November,
1895, in Mechlenburg county, N. c., and graduated
at Chapel Hill University in that State. His ia.
Their, Samuel Polk, removed to Tennessee when
James was a boy. He was the eldest Of Ten that
constituted the family-six boys and four girls
Marshall, Franklin, John and Washington, died
between the ages Of twenty>one and twenty-five.
they were young men Of great abilities, and gradu.
ated with distinguished honors-but alas! thew fell
in their bloom by the same curse that is now perva>
ding our land, and carrying off the brightest and
the purest, William, who was Charge to Naples
under Tyler's administration, and subsequently a
Major Of Dragons in Mexico, is still living.
The mother Of MI. Polk, who has seen SO much
that IS n,ournlul, and SO much that Is glorious, in
her family, yet enjoys we believe good health
May her last hour, like that we hope Of her eldest
son, be one Of happiness and peace.

COMMUNICATED.1

Mr.. Editor: In a communication which appear
ed in your last issue, under the signature of Island
er, relative to a speech delivered by Col. RlcH'p
which, in justice to the speaker, Ibeg to rectlfy.
According to your. correspondent the Colone,
stated that the. Swamp Lands cannot be drained but
at the expense Of a million and a half to two mil
lions of dollars; and furthermore, that he said Mr..
Harmanson asserted in one of his speeches deliv-
cred in Congress that our sugar interests required
no protection, and that money could be made by the
sale of sugar at 2 cents perIb.
This is certainly a great oversight ia your cores
~pondent, who probably made this hasty and gross
assertion on the impulse of the moment, without
giving the subject that attention it required.
The Colonel, in speaking of the Scamp Bill.
stated that it would require near half a million of
dollars to defray the expenses in selecting the land
under the provisions of said Bill, and upwards of
$4,500, 600 to drain and bring the same into mar
ket.
Relative to Mr.. Harmanson's anti~tarif speech
the Colonel stated tina: he was authorized from said
speech 10 say, that if we could not get two cents
per lib. for our sugar, Mr.. H. would not consent to
give us incidental protection that would enable US
to compete with foreign importers,
Every thing looks smiling down here at the ISL
and-all raIlying under the Wing standard. to pour
grape shots in the l~ocofoco ranks next election, and
show them that they are in such small minority in
this Parish, that they will be known in future as
party that was, but is no more.
Yours, HELLESPONT.

cutlve favor, and not feeling that he is responsible to
the people for his acts-lhat he is not placed in the
chair of authority through their sufirages-feels at
liberty to indulge in bubbles of personal pride un-
der the cloak of court dignity, and to sport with the
life of a fellow being for the purpose Of displaying
a character which never yields when determination
is once formed, however much after circumstances,
common sense, justice and humanity demanded a
change of sentiment. Would Judge McHenry
had acted thus, had he been placed in his seat by
the voice of the people, for the purpose of seeing
that full Justice is done to every citizen who might
be placed before him? No: His pride would have
sought another channel for its display, which would
have approached nearer TO the principle of huma-
ly and of justice than any act he exhibited in the
above case. Well may the Democrats be loud in
their assertions of giving paternity to an Elective
Judiciary, when such judges come from their ranks
at the instigation of their Executive. l, is a very
nice ruse de guerre-a very pretty piece of maneu~
ver'ng to show that such appointments are con-
demned by their own party. for the purpose of ma
king capital for the next election. But it will not
DO. An Elective Judiciary is a Wing principle
and dearer than ever will the Wings hold II. when
they see exhibited snch high handed acts as the
above, by a judge appointed through his political
principles, without reference to any quality of mind
that fits him for so high and honorable a trust.

The Crevasse.-The crevasse, or ra.
Their the late crevasse, is still a subject of
vast importance to our city, and from the
best authority, We state that not another

out some action being taken in regard to
building "a new leyee around the works
constructed by Messrs. Dunbar and Surei;
in order to strengthen them. Every hours
delay adds to the danger of an accident
occurring, and though the committee may
not think that the city should expend n
more money at this point, we trust that
they will act promptly in the matter, and
leave the subject of dollars and cents to be
discussed when there is no possibility of
another oyerfow.-Picayune, June %.

The jury having been, at last, sent
back, remained out an hour longer, when
they were sent for by the Judge, and told
by him that if they would append to their
verdict the following remarkable words,
he would receive it as proposed by them:
-"1Ne jury do not intend to censure, in
any manner, the action of the Court"
This was agreed upon, and the verdict
altered in the Courtroom SO as to stand
thus:
"GuiIty, without capital punishment,
and recommended to the mercy of the
Court, on the ground that the prisoner was
not fully prepared for trial. The jury
do not intend 10 censure, in any manner;
the action of the Court"
Further comment is unnecessary. The
censure Is there, and all the alterations
that ingenuity could devise will no blot
the fact out Of the record.

to await his sentence.
