But how stand the facts!, fill col. Polk good tauttior4 for his' own .opinionsll if he be, then, so lar.ai lie is concern ed, the enestion is easily settled.

Polk expressly, endoises and refers to'ihis preNious ex.: I pressioris of opinion op the subject of the Tarilf. ' What those opinions are the extracts abeve will show. But he refers to the public diseus'Sions in which he has been engaged, for his Tariff opinions. In April, 1843 he had a public discussion Jwith his , competitor, Gov. Jones, in Madison eoinity, Ten nessee, and in his speech there deliyered,ilte said,: .The difference between the course'of the Whig par ty and myself is, that:whilst they are the advocates of Distribution and a Protective Tariff—measures which I consider ruinous to the country, and espe cially to the interests of the . planting staleS l —, /has e steadily- and at all times opposed beth.! Here, then, are Cob Polk's opinions, set forth by itimself, ne ver retracted, and never denied on Ilia authority. •It is plain 'from the opening remarks in 'his letter to Mr. Kane, that he intended to convey 'the same opinion's in that letter, and only choSe different phraseology to avoid the dullness of repetition.— What sentiments, then, we ask the Press; has the Statesnian attributed to iMr. Polk, which ho has not repeatedly and publicly avowed! If we have in any respect, misrepresented him, we 'stand rea dy for reparation ; but we defy the Press to point out a single instance in which we have miss-sta ted the creed of Guy. Polk or the Democratic Par ty.' Jn reference to the sentiments of. the-Nation al Democracy, we would respectfully, ask the Press whether the Globe is' good authority! . -We know. that in the late:National Convention, representing the Democracy of the whole Union, it was declar ed to be Ihi Organ of the Party, and measures were taken to increase its circulation. Well, the Globe advocates the repeal, of the present Tariff, which it calls 'the dishonest, fraudulent; and exor bitant Tariff of Mr. Clay's Congress,' and declares its dutieS on many of the necessaries of life are 100 per eeiit, above the Revenue standard. From this we, may inther some idea of the rates of a Revenue 'Tariff; and the Press may decide how nearly it would approximate to the free trade standard. The New 'link Plebeian is ono of the principal , organs of the ' ; Democracy of that state, and we think the Press Semetimes quotes from it such articles - as , suit th'e.Meridian of York county. . We ask there fore, i. 4, the Plebeian good authority! If it be, we eommeod the following extract to the particular attention of the Press. The Plebeian' says:. 'The 'lle Dernocratic party throughout the Union are opposedilo the present Tariff, There is as much unanimity in the party in opposition to the principles and details of the present Tarif, as there is upoh any otherof the great principles' that di vide parties; and full as much as there is in the whig party in its favor. This is the-position in which this great quesOn is now placed as regards the two great parties. But let us look a little fur ther :1 („.. The Democratic party hare nomina ted a !candidate for the Presidency who is the MOST DEADLY ENEMY OF THE PRE SENT TARIFF; . while our opponents have nominated a roan WHO IS PLEDGED TO SUSTAIN IT.' Now we ask the Press, and we askevery candid ' and intelligent man who has been in the habit of reading.the Statesman, whether we have ever sta. ted the'principles of the Party or its Presidential candidate more plainly, boldly, and perspicuously than, is done by the leading organ of,Mr. Van Be- . ren, Mr. Polk, and-the New York Democracy ! We assert with perfect confidence that we have not gonC'one step further than the Globe, the Plebeian or Jaines K. Polk himself, and yet the l'ress silt gles'Os out front the mass of the DernoCracy, from the Scores of Democratic papers tlitit pursue the same course, and:asserts that we are 'doing the federalists service.' If this be true, lit must be be cat+ the principles of the party' are bad,• and not' becanse we do not state the truth; llf the princi ples of the party are bad, the . Press ; is - dishonest for not opposing them—if they lie good the Press is acting the part of a hypocrite in! pretending to be e!democrat and yet denying democratic princi ples., We believe the principles of the party, as expounded by James K. Polk, the National Con yeation, the Globe, anti the Plebeian, to be safe and bound prinCiples, and we support them, for thci own sake, without calculating whether they, will make or lose votes. 'rite Preys, if we under stand it, believes the principles of `the. party to be unsafe and unsound, and yet,-thesh it repudiates the 'principles it sticks to.the ... lerty—and, ,there fore, supports a party withoutiiringiples; or, to give it the most favorable turn, it supports a democrat. ic Party and whig principles. , one:word in reference to the South Carolina papers and we are done. Will the editor of the Press favor us .with the articles which he attributes to them? We know. that the Charleston Mercu'. ry Supports Mr. Polk in preference to Mr. Clay because; as it declares, 'up to, the period of his norhination by the Democratic Convention, he was committed in favor of the arid-tariff doctrine's of South Carolina. But what is More to the point, the're hi' ifew in this . neilltborheizol a. gentleman! and democrat, directly from Tennessee, a man of, intelligence and veracity, who hits heard Mr. Polk on the'stump, and who is thorOughly acquainted' with his principles, from whom We have the assu rance that Mt.
