DEATH OF MIR. POLK.

The magnetic telegraph announces the
death Of Mr.. Polk, at Nashville, Tennes-
see, on the 10Th day Of june, inst.
Mr.. Polk has filled large space in the
political annals Of this country, but whether
for ultimate veal or woe, the future alone
can answer He was strong partisan
throughout his whole Legislative career, and
received the confidence Of his party in the
highest stations, to which they could advance
him. His vindication of Democratic doc
trines, in his capacity Of Chairman ofthe most
important Committees Of the House Of Rep
resentatives, did him no light honor, and
when Speaker Of the House, he conducted
himself, in the face Of an unparalleled party
opposition, with signal ability, never once
relaxing..his partisan efforts. The opposition
then regarded his administration Of the duties
of the chair, as being too one-sided to be
Just, but great allowances should be made
for party-man, situated as he was at that
time. We have never thought, that he
could have acted otherwise, as Speaker, than
he did, and do his whole duty to his party.
If he failed sometimes in his duty to the mi
nority, it was, perhaps, more the fault of his
position, than the result Of design. But, we
are of those, who consider the interests Of
the country best subserved by high party ad-
ministration, in all the departments, and we
see nothing more Objectionable in Mr.. PoLK's
Speakership, than in Mr.. CLAWS, or Mr.
WIRES.
During Mr.. PoLK's Legislative career, he
preserved his consistency on all the ques-
tons Of public policy, that came up for dis
cussion and being voted upon. We do moi
speak at random on this point During the
canvass of 1874, we prepared from the re.
cord Of the House journals an analysis Of. al
Mr.. PoLR's votes, from the time he entered
Congress until he left it, with the design Of
showing, that his course as legislator upon
the questions Of the tariff, the currency, &c..
was different from that which his Kane let
ter assigned to him. In the prosecution Of
this labor, we discovered that our impress
sions were erroneous. We saw him tn
same JAMES X. Polk, from the beginning I
the end. His.votes while in Congress wer
in consonarce with the doctrines of his Kan
letter. That his friends in Pennsylvania mad
him out high-tarif man, was no fault of hi
and the electoral body in believing their repre-
sensations, only showed their ignorance
public affairs and the course Of our publ
men. We have blamed Mr.. Polk, for n,
being more explicit in his Kane letter, b,
he was looking to the Presidency, and pol
cy, perhaps, induced him not to say NOR
His is not the only instance Of bidding &
votes for the Presidency by our public mel
and Of imposing upon the credulity Of til
electoral body, More than half the art
