MR. POLK’S SUCCESS.
Really, wo belinvo tlio" Whigs" nre the most
Infill anted politicians in tho world. Their greatest
effort*, Lnve invariably led to thoir own confusion.
Mr. Van Burb.v, hyn " Whig" party vote,in tho
Semite of the United States, wn* deemed unworthy
to be our Minister to England—and they refused
to ratify hi* appointment during the recess, hy Gen.
Jackson. Ho was therefore recoil* d. Never did
rite “ Whigs" tako n more futnl step than lids. In
their anxiety to pro.trate an abb opponent, they
in fuel prostrated themselves. They-Intended to
rebuke Gen. JacKso.v, nnd lo give n political burinl
lo Mr. Van Burkn, by that coup dc main. Well,
what win the effect T Mr. Van Btntus was tri
umphantly elected Vice President *>f tlie United
Suite, nt the election which took place the follow
ing Tnll—nnd thn* Gen. Jackson whs sustained.
Ills choice proved te he the choice of the only suv-
ereign wo can ever have in this country, n* long a*
the democratic cmise flourishes—thk people !—
Yc*—1!»« people, who could nnd cun strike a strong
er blow than a**' Whig " cabal. They undid in
a moment, nnd in tlio fueo of day, whnl wn* nn
doubt the result of the midnight intrigues nnd re
solves of an nnti-repiiblican conspiracy. Rut the
people wished to read tho " Whigs" a plainer lea.
*iw_»nd one whlc.li could not he mistaken. At tho
succeeding presidential election, when tho "old
hero" hud retired, after having served hi* country
faithfully, nnd with honor—" tho people " elected
Mr Van Burkn to occupy tho station which is tho
highest in their gift—they made him President!
Bat the “ Whig*" are doomed men. An “ evil
.«" directs their movement*. They would not
open thoir eyes—for " Democracy" is odious to
their sight.
Tin'll i-losetli the firtl l ook ill tlieso our days,

second!
At tlie close of tho Inst session of Congress, tho
Speaker of thu House of Representatives—Jam its
K. Polk, having discharged hi# duties most hun*
ably, n member moved that ho wn* entitled to tlie
thank* of that body. Thi* is a custom nt the end
of every Congressional session—never, wo Indicvo.
before opposed. What did the •' Whig*"—tho Fa-
t„|i*t*—do, on this occasion! Mr. PitKNTtsa,
Mississippi, one of tho " file lenders" of the pnrty
made n furious speech, nnd opposed tho motion.
Wise, MkvifkR, nnd other kindred spirits, followed'
in the suinu strain, und alrliough they nil admitted that
Mr. Polk dio-lmrgcd Ids duty with dignjty nnd
partiality, they refused togivo him a vote of i|i'inks<
for this reason, nnd for this nlonn—Mr PnxxTis*
suited thntMr. Polk, wns nhout te become n cundi.

tlint if thoy gave him u vote, of thunks, it would bo
sum-1inning hi* prclentio'lii. niid he giving him po'

pleat Mr Pukntiss I—most just nnd couclu-ive
were thy -reasons! I—ns Time, the great iiuravelleri
will show. But how ceuld thou struggle ngnin.-
Fute?
Well, Mr. Pot.K got no more llinnks from the
" Whigs’’—they gave him no " politinsl capital."
Yet did he " go home" te Tennessee, und with n'f
the concentrated forces of " Whiggery" ogniimt him,
ho wns cicct-d Governor nf ilmt Sute—not with

They both dined lit the public table, and were of

It is a relief.to sec *uch n paragraph as tha above.
Why should men dissolve nil social ties, because

might prognosticate without dnnger, the downfall

we want tho light of education, ere this happy doy
