recent triumph nf Democracy in Pennsylvania
muses these efforts to be redoubled. We warn
you against them. To expose them, nothing
is needed but the diffusion of TRUTH.
The opinions of James K. Polk on this sub
ject ure not crpiivecul. They have not been
co-icoaled. We give them to you in ii i own

V. RACING AGRICULTURE, MANUFAC
TURES. THE MECHANIC ARTS, COM-
MERCK AND NAVIGATION.
I lis Ait kin nrc not less njuivocal. Soon
after his very first entry into public life, in Ten
nessee, James K. Polk devoted himself efficient
ly to the supimrt of American Industry, fo far
as his legislative lahnro in that State cimMed
him to do to. lit was especially the PRO
TECTOR and promoter of the MANUFAC
TURE OF IRON n branch of industry in
w hich Tennessee, like Pennsylvania, has a w ide
interest. We have collected from the ofiioinl
records of the Legislature of Tennessee the
proof on the subject. We submit it to you. It
shows that his sentiments IN FAVOR OF A
MER1CAN INDUSTRY, now declared,
ARE IN ACCORDANCE WITH HIS AC
TIONS, as thus exhibited and OFFICIALLY
PROVED.
The Journal of tho Legislature of Tennessee
for the session of lr-'JIi-''l contains the follow
ing, to xv it :
"A bill supplemental to an net entitled 'an
net to ENCOURAGE THE J1UII.DING OF
IRON WORKS, passed November iM, lOH,"
was read the third and last time, nnd ordi red to
be engrossed."
On the same day (November 2?ili, It.'!') it
was signed by the Speaker of botii houses and
hi came n law.
The object of this la v was to GRANT to the
OWNERS OF IRON WORKS nnd tho.-e
who would erect them, LARGE TRAC I S OF
LAND udjjci nt to tht in, lor ore, timber, c,
upon condition that they would keep them in
operation. The law therefore provided that "a
preference as oceupuns tonlitmn grants for said
lands," should bo granted to the owners of Iron
Works, on their paying twelveuud a halt cent
an acre."
Mr. Polk, w ho ( uteri d the Legislature in
licit year, supported this law on tlie ground that
it w as the itimiiesl policy of the Slate to EX
TEND SUCH ENCOURAGEMENT TO
THE MANUFACTURE OF IRON. More
ere many I ron orU established in the Statp,
and he considered such a course of legislation,
by making such grants for their encouragement,
as a matter of public policy w hich ought to be
s'ea.ly and uniform. The lauds thus granted,
though not nf good ijiiality for cultivation, were
valuable and indeed indispensable to the own
ers of Iron Works. Other persons were thus
prevented from taking them up und extorting
high prices for them.
At the next session of the Legislature when
Mr. Polk was again 11 nn-uibcr, he again sup
ported the same course of leglblution for the en
couragement of the Iron manufacture. The
Journal for tlntl Session, cuntuius the foil; w ing,
to wit :
"A III LL FOR. THE ENCOU RAG E M EN I'
OF IRON WORKS was read the third and
lust time, passed, oml ordered to bo engrossed."
On the same day ( ctoher "nh, l-;t!,) it was
signed by tlu) Speakt r cf the two houses und ,
hecamea law. It was fiippotted at tint of the
prev ious session had hi i n, Ty Mr. Pulk.
'Tho law provided tlwt a Patent or Grant
should be issued "to the owner or ovv iuMb ol any
Iron Works, for any LAND not tit fur cultiva-
tion and not exceeding three thoiisund acres,
which heretofore may have been designated . "'nii(-' 1,10 1 'xan l'nsoners in .Mexico, it those 0 i pr,,,,,. t;,r illustrious joung men are truly Hixr to Exiji isi ri s. A celebrated Pari

These, Fellow Citizens, are the recorded 0
vidences of the early, strenuous, and judicious !
efforts of James K. Polk, to encourage one of
