about Kansas and Lecomplon ; in fact, he
spoke of nothing else. At the close of his
speech Polk arose, and with that peculiar
con:meal look which ho knows so well how
to assume, he called loudly for the Sheriff
of Medford county. No response, and agajn
Bill called at the top of his lungs, Mr. Sher

Presently the Sheriff appeared and asked
what ho wanted. I want, says Polk, a cor

here in this room. The Kansa\ Nebraska
bill has been dead for two years ; it is fast
becou.iug putrid, and I wanton inquest held
over it so that it may be decently buried.—

The truth is, there is a general, almost a

hold an inquest over the dead and putrid
