THAT is just abut the size
of it. Col. Polk and his Re-
publican Jahawker allies
from Kansas and elsewhere
go over the State finishing
up the work Of "Old Fogy";
slandering the leading nieff
of North Carolina, and seeks
ing to make t h m odioris
with the purpose Of getting
the people in such u frame Of
mind that they can be led
gradually into the third par
ty. Col. Polk did not deny
more than a year ago that
he favored starting d third
party and breaking up the
Democratic party; and h q
does not deny it now. It was
too soon for him to avow ii
then. 1t is too soon for him
to avow it now. He says he
will tell all about it after Con
gress meets. In the mean
time he is trying to move the
people up to it. If it looks
then as if he can make HIM
self a Malone with success he
will cross the Rubicon. If he
finds that the people are not
sustaining him he will not
try to play the role OF a C@-
sar. We bid him reflect on
the fate Of Malone, detested
and spurned as q traitor to
the people fhisnative State.
