ANOTHER WHIG FALSEHOOD REFUTED.
The Federal Whig papers finding themselves oblised
to retract all the infamous charges which they Cave
raked up against the character of James K. Polk. the
Democratic candidate for the Presidency, are now en
deavoring to make it appear that his grandfather was
a Tory. As a specimen of these outrageously false
charges, we give the followingextract from the Tribune:
"Ezekiel Polk, grandfather of the locofoco candi
date for President, was a British Tory of the Revolu
tion, and not a 'brave Diesel old Tory' either, but a
mean, cowardly, unprincipled one—not one of those
who adhered to Greta Britain through a mistaken
loyalty, ha one of those who sneaked trver to her and
took a British protection (tom Cornwallis, when he
thought the w higs were likely to be conquer,xl,"

"Five THottssun WHICI3 IF COUNCI(.."—We
quote this from the description of the federal organs
o f this city as it-stands at the head of their notice of
the meeting of Saturday evening last. We have more
than once been shocked at the reckless mendacity of'
these prints, and have had frequent occasion to expose
their atrocious fslsthoods. A few moments will serve
to show any man, we cure nut who or what be may be,
that the statement of the number as given in the Ga
zette and American is grossly fa'se.
1n 1340, in the two cities, in Birmingham, Pitt
Township, and Reserve, the districts from whence the
meeting was made up, the whole ?shag rote was but
3,588! In t h e same districts the vote of both parties
was but 5560! Wo suppose the federal organs would
not dare to say that ail the whiga and all the demo
eras in those districts were present at their meeting--
yet if there were 5000 present at it, all must hare
bcen there but 560!
But the whole whig rot e in 1840 in the places afore
said was but 3,588! They never polled as many le
fot a, and have been diminishing in nuinbers ever since,
as the returns of the elections show. Yet these unblush

will charter, if he is elected President. But we have
more light on the subject. We have from Mr CLAY
himself a clear indication of the kind of a Bank be
wants. He wants a Bank, with power to establish
branches, in other words, "just like the old one."

inasmuch as that as soon as it has passed into the

upon the result of the woduce speculation. For in
