Polk Votiusr Against the Revolu tionary Peusiosi Sills ! MORE LOC0F0C0 FRAUDS UNMASKED ! ,In looking over the volumes of Congression al debates for another purpose we found the fol lowing facts, and publish them in our paper of June Hih : Po!k AsaeusC tse old Patriots of She ElevolHSion. March 13, 1S28, on the passage of the bill for the rehtff of surviving officers of the revo-j ltiiionary war, Polk voted in the negative. j Con. Deb. vol. 4, part 2, page 2670. Subsequently on a bill to pay certain militia, &c. he voted in the aMirnutive. March IS, 1830, he voted against the Revo lutionary pension bill Same sol. 6, part 1, page 629. 1 March 19, "Polk spoke some time against ihe bill," and voted against it same p. G35. Feb. 17, 1S31, he roted against the bill for the relief of revolutionary soldiers. Same, ol. 7, p. 789. May 2, 1S32. he voted AGAINST the rov olutioiurv pension bill. Same, vol. page 2713. These statements were copied into Whig pa ners ail over iIih countrv. and it was deemed j advisable by the Ohio Statesman to put a stop to the influence of these facts, if possible. It 5 dared not publish this statement, and attempted With rein drawn tight and whip rais'd high", ,1 to disprove it. No every word of it is true; 'j.t. 1 .L .t. ! 1M.

The Statesman 4 proceeds then to assert that Polk has been ca lumniated, to sustain this falsehood ii hunts up certain votes given by Polk upon collateral questions : and then asserts that these votes relief o Susan Decatur, widow of Capt. Ste phen Decatur, Polk voted aye." This bill for ihe relief of Mrs. Decatur was not a pension bill; and this makes fraud No. 4. Ai io the other bill; fraud No. 5 is to be found in the title. The bill was sirrply one to "ainsnd an act to provide" &c. We dli not know what its provisions wpre. On the ,25th February 1829, Mr. P. toted lo re-commit this bill in order to inquire what ex penditures would be required, and also to limit the provision made by the second section to per sons who,, need the assistance of their country for support. This failing. Polk voted for the bill. Ii did not pass the Senate.-Journal, p. 335-6-7.J 1 he Argus ends with the session of 32. We add the following fuels from the Journals of 1833-4: Feb. 11, 1S34, Mr. Polk voted in favor of a Committee lo inquire into the expediency of extending the act of 1832 (for granting pen sions to those who had defended our ftontier in ihe Indian wars, from 1776 up to '90,) so as to embrace those who were in the Indian wars between the eloe of the revolution and hc treaty of Greenville tained in his letter as to the mural uliaruviof Mr. Clay, so far as we know and beiteve. i Methodist Ministers.

These burial societies' are very numerous, and the horrible fact has transpired that, on the birth of a. child, iis parents have frequently entered its name on the. books of ten or twenty different societies, and then, by allowing the poor infants to die from neglect, have realized large sums .from these societies, for the apparent purpose of gj ing the child decent burial.
