'■''e tt-u gentlemen were accordingly appointed as

Pulaski, Sept, 27th, 1844.
Gentlemen—In accordance to your request, 1
•wttiied upon Governor Polk on Monday, the 213d
instant, in company with the Hun. P. li. C dial and
Samuel D. Frierson, Esq., ol C >iumbia, w iut a co
py ol the preamble und resolutions adopted hero or.
the 2l)ili instant. When 1 bunded litem to Gov.
Po k 1 asked I.t.tt at what time I might expect an
answer; be levied that he would answer them at
a proper lints, r tlien reutaikeu to him that 1
shmiui remain a , .»• days at Franklin’s Tavern, to
receive his answer, a.id should lie glad to know
when he woulu give it ; lie replied that lie hnd nut
readme comimmications, ttnu could no! say when
he could answer. He said that my remaining
would not make any difference.
'J his may tint he literally, hut is in substance,
what occurred. I waited some nine in Columbia

Guv, Pmk, but wa» not fuvured with any j neither

Respectfully,
JOHN X. BROWN.
To Messrs. Goode, T"J p itu.l others.
Thu CvMiimittuu waited some days, iu expecta
tion of receiving a reply from Mr. Polk : but being
'disappointed, uu the 22 It September they addressed
auollter letter In Mr. Pont "respectfully desiring
him to inform them woollier a reply was to be ex-
f leeted, and f so,at what lime." They particular-
y requested an early notice of the communication:
liie letter was delivered to Mr. Polk on the 30th
by the Hon. Terry H. Calial, hut Mr. Polk did not
tell hitn whether an answer might be expected or
not. After waiting until the 3d of October, (the
lime to which tiny were limited,) the committee
made their report submitting these facts to the
consideration ol the citizens by whom they were
appnimted. Tne commilteo consisted of John
VV. Goode, E-q., Dr. W. \V. i’opp, Mnj. Sami.
Moseley, Dr. Benj. Carter. James McCallum, E-q., |
and Hon, L. M. Bramiilt,—ail gentlemen ol die |
highest character and representing a great body of
the best citizens of Tennessee.
These facts, we trust, will receive the attentive
consideration of every American citizen w ho in
tends to vote at tne coming election. Here is
presented, as a candidate for die Presidency of the
United States, a man who refuses to inform them
upon what principles, if elected, ho would admin-
ister the government. When asked, respectfully
and earnestly, whether he would protect American
Industry or not, he makes no answer 1 When asked
whethorlte would modify the Existing Tariff or not,
he makes no answer! When asked whether he is
in favor of taxing tea and coffee, he makes tin an
swer ! When asked whether lie is in favor of im
mediate uiinexuiion or not, lie scorns to reply ! — It
elected, he must act at once and act energetically,
upon ull these great questions; and yet ho refuses
to say whit he would du. or by uln.t principles he
would lie guverne 11— > his is the temper iu which
James K. Polk treats the questions of those whose
votes lie solicits. His opinions have been tortured
and misrepresented in every section of die Union.

protective system
On the other hand, tho whig§» with an unblushing
disregard for the truth, charge Gov. Polk with being
opposed to protection and in favor of freo trade. Let
the record again seal their lips. From the commence,
went of his career in Congrcsp, in 1820, to tho dose,
he never supported nor encouraged the introduction of
any proposition, having for its object the repeal of du-
ti“B upon imports. IIis voto is recorded in favor of
every tariff, with perhaps ono exception, that was en
acted by Congress while lie was a member of that body.
He exerted an efficient inlluence, which was extensive
m die Mouse, to effect the passage of the acts of 1330,
'32, and *33. Notwithstanding Ins support of these
measures of protection, he is represented as hostile to
American industry. How was this hostility displayed!
Why, by voting for a duty on cottons of 25 per cent.,
bools and bootees $1,50 per pair, cabinet ware, hats,
caps, &C..30 per cent., rolled iron $30 per ton, and on
wool and woollens the highest rates of duties. Neither
can iho Democratic party be charged with adopting the
pt . ;ph - ot iree trade; for there has not been a tariff
e iiu ted hy Congress but w as passed by the aid of their
votes, and every act was passed by a Democratic Con-
gress. except the bill of 1812, winch the wings claim
as their own measure, but with how much truth, will
be seen by the history of its passage. On the passage
of the present tariff bi 11 in the House ol Represents*

Tne Senate of the United States, being Whig by a
majority of one eighth of the whole, and eiectod by the
party legislatures, are more strictly the representative
of the party as a whole, than the other House, where
local lufiueucea and individual predilections have more
scope. To the Senate we are to look for the party ac
tion .n al. appointments to office. How have the whig
Senate acted here!
It is the duiy of the Senate to keep a check upon the
President, and see that all public considraiions are du-
fy regarded, and all public interests aie duly secured.
Now took at some of tiie appointments ratified by the
Senate.
