The Polk Blood—Charge of Toryism mm in. As tlie Messenger continues the pub lication of th«foul aspersions aiul unman ly slanders concocted by the political vultures of the whig party to devour the name of the patriotic and honored dead to answer to the base and unholy pur pose of the living, we publish to-day for the benefit of the Messenger and all concerned, sufficient proof to rescue the name of a soldier and patriot from the foul aspersions of the whole pack of po litical slanders, great and small, who have attempted to fix the charge of Toryism upon the ancestry of James K. Polk.— We submit the proof to our readers with the single remark that these' certificates wofo given when there could be no mo tive for misrepresentation ; and that most of them were originally collected and published under the authority of the gen eral assembly of North Carolina, not to promote the base ends of party but to per petual the testimony in support of an important portion 6f her'early history— and td place forever beyond the reach of cavil her claim to the honor ot being the first to throw off the tyranny of the Brit ish ydke and proclaim herself a free and independent state: and that North Caro linian, whether in Georgia or elsewhere, who dares impeach, in the face of all this proof, the character «f one of thejpatriots who participated so actively in the try ing scenes of her early struggles belies the fame of his native state and is a rec reast to the glorious principles which guided her re\ r olutionary struggle. Will qur friends of the Democratic press in . Georgia spread these certificates before their readers that the people may see what reliance can be plaGed in the state ments of whig newspapers and whig oru ors. OAPT TACK’S CERTIFICATE, As taken from the documents as publish ed under the order of General As sembly, at the session of 1930- 31. Page 10— Getter C : Having seen in the newspapers some pieces in respect to the Declaration of Independence by the pofle of Mecklen burg county, in the state of North Caro lina, in ?.fcy 1775, and being solicited to state what I know in regard to that transaction, 1 would observe, that some time previous to ard at rime those resolutions were agreed upon, I resided in the Town of Charlotte in the county of Mecklenburg—was privy to a number of meetings of some of the most leading and influoßtial characters of that county on the subject before the final adoption of thtt resolutions ; and at the time they were adopted, among thoro who appear ed to take the lead, may he mentioned Hezekiuh Alexander, who generally act ed as chairman, John McKnitt Alexan der’, as Secretary, Abraham Alexander, Adam Alexander, Maj. John Davidson (afterwards Genera!,) M illiamDavidson,’ Col Tlios. Polk, EZEKIEL POLK, Dr. Ephraim Brevard, Sam. Martin, Duncan Ochletree, Win. Wilson and Rob’t. Irwin. When the resolutions were finally a greed upon, they were publicly proclaim ed from the Court-house door, iu the Town of Charlotte, and received with every demonstration of joy by the inhab itants. I was then solicited to be the boarer of the proceedings to Congress, and set out the following month, say June, and in passing through Salisbury, the general Court was sitting; at the re quest of the Court J handed the resolu tions to Col. Kennon, an attorney, and they were read aloud in open court. Major William Davidson and Mr. Avery nu Attorney, called upon rrjp at my lodg ing the evening after and observed they had heard of but one person (a Mr. Beard) but approved of .them. I then proceeded on to Philadelphia, and delivered the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence of May, 1770, to Rich and Caswell and William Hooper, the Dele gates to Congress from North Carolina. I am now in the SSth y***<r of my age, residing iu the county ot Elbert in the state of Georgia. I was iu die Revolu tionary war from the commencement to the close. I would further observe, that the Rev’. Francis Cummins, a Presby terian Clergyman, iu Greene county in this state, was a student in the Town of Charlotte at the time of the adoption of the resolutions and is as well, or perhaps better acquainted with the proceedings at that titpe than any mtin now living.— Col. Wni. Polk, of Raleigh N. Carolina, was with his falhcr Fhomas in Charlotte, then too young to be forward in the business, yet the leading circum stances 1 have related cannot have escap ed his recollection. JAMES JACK.

He is about seventy years old, and is the eldest surviving son of Cant Ezekiel Polk : “Sept. 15th, 1840. “ A/r. Edwin Polk : Dear Sir : Yours of August 27th, has come to hand this day, and 1 forth with comply with your request. The commission which Maj. Hills referred you to, in my hands, I have preserved, and now enclose it herein (after taking a copy of it) and forward it to I cannot believe for a moment that such malignant, fabricated calumnies is or ever will be believed. Knowing as Ido the high standing of our father among the other soldiers of the revolution during the whole of his residence in N. Carolina. And there is no man at this time more venerated than that of old Capt. Ezekiel Polk, both for his patriotism, unwavering democratic principles, his talents aRd stern integrity. I think it was near the close of the revolution that him and Col. William Polk obtained a Colonel’s com mission (both about the same time,) which title he ever after bore. W ith high respect, yours WILL. POLK.” The following is a true copy of the statement of George Alexander, viz : “Panola co., Miss. March 25, ’4O. Statement ot George Alexander con cerning the life and character ot the late Col. Ezekiel Polk, formerly of Mecklen burg county, North Carolina, during the revolutionary war. I was acquainted with Col. Ezekiel P >lk from the time he came to Mecklen burg county from South Carolina. I al ways understood that he was an officer in the South Carolina Rangers, together with Col. VV m. Polk, who was an officer under his uncle Ezekiel Polk. This Regiment of rangers perfoimed a cam paign and dispersed the tories at Ray burn’s Creek, where Col. Wm. Polk was wounded. This was called the snow campaign. After this, VV iliiam Polk (as soon as he could be brought with safety not yet recovered'Yrom his wounds) remo ved to Mecklenburg county, N. Carolina, I think about the year 1778, where my personal acquaintance commenced with him, it being also an intimate one.— From my knowledge, he stood high a mong the citizens of Mecklenburg coun ty. Ho then farmed in Mecklenburg county and accumulated property there. When Cornwallis overrun the country in 1780 and came to Charlotte, after Gate’s defeat, there were no regular or ganised troops in the field, and the coun try was overrun, it was my understand ing that then, in order to save his pro perty from distribution, he, togethger with others, took protection from Corn wallis. When Cornwallis left Charlotte for the South, he, Ezekiel Polk, remov ed his property from Cornwallis’ protec tion, a part of which was taken by Corn wallis’ troops, when he was croSutss the Yadkin. He went from there to Pennsylva nia and returned in the summer of 1781. That he was a tory, or acted in any wise for, or with the British, 1 consider a slan der against him and to be false. He stood high among the citizens oi Meck lenburg county. (Signed) GEO. ALEXANDER. ‘ As to the protection of which George Alexander makes mention in his affidavit that Ezekiel Polk with others took under Cornwallis after the defeat of Gate’s Ar my and when there was no regularly or ganized troops irt the field iu that part of the state, those who know anything of the ravages which followed the surrender of Charleston when the British and tories overrun the country with the sword of death in one hand arid the torch of the incendiary in the other, sparing neither the honors of age, the helplessness of in fancy, or the sacred cliims of woman, will not be surprised that Ezekiel Polk, who had been active in routing the tories, and who had become obnoxious to them, for the part he took against them should have been compelled when the American forces in that quarter were defeated, to save his wife and children and property from the ravages of an enemy more cruel and unfeeling than the savage himself— who ever heard of the brave and gallant Col. Hayne being a tory? Yet he be. came a victim and fell a martyr to Brit ish tyranny and cruelty while a captive after having been forced to entreat their mercy and protection when every other hope around him failed, and when all was gloom and despondency in that part of South Carolina. If this made Col. Hayne a tory, then was Ezekiel Polk a torv. And the man who makes the ac cusation-of tory ism against’him after this exposition of the matter, belies bis Amer ican blood and is a tory at heart. “ By my soul the work goes bravely on.” The democratic republican party of Jones held one of the largest and most enthusiastic county meetings on Satur day last at Clinton, which has been held in that county for years ; at which the o-reatest possible ardor and enthusiasm prevailed among those present. The meeting was addressed with great ability by Hon. W. T. Colquitt, Messrs. Junius Wingfield, of Putnam and Sam’l M. Strong of this county. Our friends in Jones seem fully aroused to the great questions now before the country, and we doubt not, they will bear themselves with a gallantry in the coming conflict Worthy Os their former deeds in the good dernoorf>tj<’ cafpw’ Toryism. The following certificates are just a bout as importantand as rnuchtothe point as the certificates the Messenger and some other whig papers keep publishing every week—and we doubt not that Abel Mormon, was quite as familiar with the incidents and history of Eden, as many of these self-styled revolutionary soldiers are with the history of Ezekiel Polk, and other patriots of that period : ASTOUNDING DISCLOSURE!!! HENR Y CL A Yfound to be the lineal descendant of that first old torv, who brought death into the world and all our woe f Shall this base author of the fall be rewarded for his treason in the person of his imme diate descendant ?

I hereby depose and certify that in the year one I resided in Eden, and that 1 was well acquainted with its oldest in habitant, Adam Adam, Esq. and with his wife, Eve. At that time, the said Adam was found guilty of a base and traitorous ciime against the government, and, with his wife, who was equally guilty,was sen tenced to death, and all their posterity were banished and outlawed. And I further certify and depose that I know Henry (flay, Esq. the present whig can didate for the presidency, and am well acquainted with his pedigree and his re gular descent; and I know him to be an “ immediate descendant" of the aforesaid Adam and Eve, who were old tories and traitors, known and reputed to be such from the time of their conviction and con demnation unto this day.

[seal] (Signed) JAPHET HAM, CFk. AMERICANS ! —Will you give your votes for the descendant of the fi st, the original tory and traitor —the author of so much misery, and the exemplar of so much crime ? No, never! It never shall be said that the free and virtuous voters of these states will raise to their first magistracy the depraved offspring of such an ignominious ancestry !! No, No ! For president who would desire The sinful son of such a sire 1 How can the country e’er he saved By one born “totally deprared V' Sons of the pilgrims! grasp in hand The weapon which the laws command; Which rifle halls nor pistol locks Can ne’er withstand —the ballot-box.” Onward the Ball ot Victory holds its way. From the icebound hills of Maine to the beautiful shores of the Gulph—from the broad atlantic to the valliesof the far West, the great democratic ball is bear ing down all opposition. Hundreds are leaving the whig ranks daily. Those who have hitherto acted with them, are losing all confidence in the piebald a malgamation of the present leaders of the whig party. The “Hickory State,” is shaking herself like a young giant : “ The Nashville Union says, Mr. W. A. Lindsay, formerly a prominent whig of East Tennessee, addressed the demo cratic association of Knox county on the 15th ult. declaring that he had “parted with the whigs forever.” Alluding to the charge of the Feds that democrats had stolen Tyler’s thunder, in taking up the Texas cry. he said, “This is not John Tyler’s thunder, but it is American thunder ; and its peals will yet be so loud, deep and startling as to drive the affrighted coons back to their caverns and caves.” Orville Bradley of E. Tenn. an active and powerful supporter of Har rison in ‘4O, a man of wealth, great poli tical knowledge, and predominating in fluence, is now exerting himself with equal efficacy for Polk, Dal las and Tex as. W<’ are informed by a gentleman, from Nashville, a distinguished man m our state,that Mr. Thomas Brown , of King ston, for many years pasta whig and al ways opposed to Mr. Van Buren, has written to Gen. Jackson, assuring him that he was now with him for Polk and Texas —and that thousands of his friends and acquaintances would join him in re nouncing Clay. Mr. B. is well known as a man of influence to many of our townsmen.” The ‘Buckeye’ state is determined to keep pace with her democratic sisters ; she too, is buckling on her armor and rushing to the conflict with an impetu osity as irresistable as the floods of her mighty river: “In Ohio, the Statesman says, ‘James Shewnrd, a most talented citizen of Musk ingum county, a supporter of Harrison in ’4O, and of whigery previously, and liis son, an eloquent stump speaker and Harrison whig, both now go with the democracy.’ So of Tho’s Alsop, a lead ing whig of Holmes county, and secreta- the Clay Club—says" the Bucytus Republican. So of John F. Thomas, of Alien county, Ohio, of John McGregor, H.C. Johnson, Sam’l Wolf, 1.. V. Frizzle, J. Bunker, Ja’s Treat, all of Wadsworth, Ohio, Harrison whigsin’4o, warmfriends of Polk now ; so of John W. Estill of Columbiana county—and the New Lis bon Patriot says, “There arefnllysix hun dred men in Columbiana, who supported Harrison in ’4O, that no inducement cun make vote for Henry Clay.” We have no room to record the lengthy catalogue of new converts in Ohio.” The people are preparing for the great political dance [the Polka.) and when the hall fairly opens, the democracy will lead the whigs such a round and leave them so far below the foot of the figure, that they cannot dance up in twenty years. The Doctors Disagree, The New York Express, Tribune and other leading whig Journals at the north, are laboring hard to prove that James K. Polk is a free trade man of the strictest sect. The Georgia Journal. Southern Recorder, and other whig papers in this state, are laboring equally as hard to prove that he is in favor of a high pro tective tariff, and that the tariff is no lon ger an issue. Which of those great do ctors of whigery can the people believe ? I rawfard. From this sterling democratic county, we have the most cheering intelligence. Our friends there are getting up their meetings to enlighten the people upon thegreatissuesbefore them,and if they go on in the good work, the whigs will not have a handtul left in that county to bear the tidings ot their defeat to their dis comfited brethren, in the adjoining coun ties. In every change that has occur red around her, Crawford has always stood firm in the true republican faith, and breasted the reeling shock of the ene my, with more that) Spartan firmness.— We were informed by an intelligent citi zen of that county a few days since, that she was bestirring herself to present an unbroken front ot her unconquerable de mocracy at the Mass Convention lobe held here on the 22d. We bid them welcome, and assure them that there are none to whom the democracy of Bibb would more gladly extend the right hand of democratic cordiality. The democracy of Twiggs. There is no county in this district that can boast a nobler and more gallant set of true democrats than our neighboring county Twiggs. Steadfast in attach ment to principles; in success or in defeat, in sunshine or in storm ; they are always ready to give willingly and liber ally, and contribute.in every way to ad vance the great interests of the party.— We understand that the most liberal do nations of supplies for the great Mass Convention to be held in this city on the 22d, have been offered by the democracy of Twiggs, and that the gallant yeoman ry of that county, will rally by hundreds to join their democratic friends at this place on the 22d. This is the right spirit,and that man who dallies now when the institutions and liberties of his coun try are imperiled, is a dastard, and un worthy the name of democrat. Whig Patriotism. As the Messenger and its party profess so much regard for the patriots of the re volution, as well as for the soldiers of the last war, will it inform its readers what party voted to allow the traitor Hull, his pay after the treason was committed; and what party voted against refunding the fine imposed on the patriot Jackson, by a tory Judge, during the defence of New Orleans ? Rhode Island. Some of the whig papers are crowing over the easy prospect of getting this state, at the Presidential election. They say that 700 fre*. persons of color, have been lost to our party there on the Texas question. We were not aware that free persons of color were allowed a vote in a state where thousands of her free white citezens are denied that in estimable previlege without a property qualification. But, if it is the case, let little Royal Rhody tro, and joy be with her. We would not have our glorious democratic triumph soiled by the vote of this mongrel British, and abolition state. The whigs are welcome, thrice welcome to her. We wonder if the anti-slavery | carricatures received by some of the whigs in this place last week, hailed from little Royal Rhody ? Who can tell ? Col. Polk—Toryism. The Messenger is still harping upon the exploded slander of toryism against j Col. Polk, and his ancestry. That pa | per of last week says, that, “There are hundreds of N. Carolinians in Georgia, who are familiar with the tradition, and who have always heard from their infan cy, that old Ezekiel Polk, was a British tory.” We challenge the proof of any respectable man from North Carolina or any where else, who knows of himself any such thing, and we want something more than nursery tales and foolish tradi tions from self styled revolutionary soldiers, who are about as familiar with the incidents and perils of the revolution, as they are with the invasion of Egypt by Cambyses, or of the private history ofPrester John of Abyssinia. We can prove by as good authority as they can the reverse, that Ezekiel Polk was not a tory during the revolution. As to the charge against Col. Polk, for voting against the old soldiers of the re volution, that is a specimen of little spe cial pleading that is as unfair as it is tin candid. Why don’t the Messenger give the whole of the facts in the case, and lay before its readers, the details of the bill against which Mr. Polk voted. Was not the same bill opposed by almost the en tire southern and southwestern delega tion, then in Congress, as well as Mr. Polk, upon the ground that it would open the sluices of unnumbered frauds upon the country, as well as be a powerful auxiliary in perpetuating another sys tem of frauds and plunder, under the in creased burthens of an already onerous tariff? [communicated.] To Hampileti. Although you have retreated behind the mighty name of Hampden, from whence to dart in cowardly security, your envenomed shafts poisoned with all the rancorous malignity that per sonal envy can suggest or political ha tred invent, you cannot well disguise yourself: the public is not deceived in your identity and will appreciate your motives as they deserve. It were a wearisome and profitless task to review minutely the barren and un meaning verbiage which constitutes the staple of your first number; reminding one more of the stilled productions of the numerous fashionable lectures which have deluged the public ad nan serin for some years past than of the sober deduc tions of reason and argument: and al though you have thrown the lion skin of Hampden over your shoulders you could not “sink the shop” and the bray has be trayed you. As you have assumed the character of a moral teacher ns well as that of a political censor, I will ask you does temperance consist only in absti nence from intoxicating drinks, or would not a just view of the scripture maxim of “temperance in all things” suggest more charitable feelings towards our fellow rnen than is evinced by Hampden? I have looked attentively over your first number, and find it made up with grand iloquent and trite expressions, meaningno thing; affected wailings over Col Chap pell’s alleged treason to the whig party; and abuse of nullification, of which you wereoncean ultra advocate. You ring the changes on Maohiavel, Caesar, Cincin- Brutus, Dorr, Lucifer, and other worthies illustrious in sacred and profane history. But yourallnsioutoßrutnsis un fort u nate, for Caesar was a usuiperand like Mr. Clay, wished to erect a splendid des potism upon the ruins of the republic. He fell by the hand of the patriot Brutus whose name has since been the synon yme of all that is great and glorious in the noble passion of patriotism— Brutus was encompassed at Phi!l ippi by the minions of tyranny and fell a martyr upon the altar of freedom; and Col. Chap pell may be hunted to his political death by the miniature triumvirate that aspires to rule or ruin the political destinies of the third congressional district. But if he is slain by these modern Romans his friends will be consoled by the reflection that he fell in a noble cause, and that his memory will be cherished when his de tractors will be forgotten or remembered only to be despised. You weep over the pretended treason of Col. Chappell —cease your crocodile tears. I can fur nish you with a proper subject upon which to exhaust the gushing fountains of your sensibility. Weep for the shame ful and reckless abandonment of princi ple by a party who once boasted the proud motto, “ Principles not men.”— You accuse Col. Chappell of treachery and treason—treachery to whom, treason to what? Has he committed treachery against persons who irrogate tobe the em bodiment of whig principles in this dist. ? ifhe has, I challenge the proofs. Has lie been guilty of treason by abandoning the principles professed by the whig party of 1S40? If so, I again demand the proofs, and not the vague declamatory abuse of vindictive partisan writers. Every hon est man in the whig party must admit that Col. Chappell now maintains the same doctrines that that party professed as their rule of faith in 1840, with one exception—l allude to the Bank —and the same change has been forced upon the minds of tens of thousands of other honest men since that time. If this ren ders Col. Chappell justly liable to your reiterated charges of ar.ostacy and trea son, what will become of many of the leaders of your party ? You well know the apostney of J. M. Berrien from the bol dest advocacy of Free Trade to the most shameless advocacy of a protective tariff. Is Hampden mute? I would draw your attention to the Hon. T. Butler King’s powerful denunciation of Clay, the Bank and tariff in ’39. “ Henry Clay is the fa ther of the American system, and now seeks to be the father of a $50,000,000 bank. Such a parent, leagued with such a progeny, would convert this union into an unmitigated despotism, or break it in to fragments. He lias to bribe the man ufacturer with a National Bank, &c.”— Don’t you know sir that this same man now unblushingly advocates Mr. Clay &. all his heresies ?" Where is Hampden’s righteous indignation 7 I now come to one of the most remarkable and promi nent instances on record of change , change. Would Hampden call it aposta cy—treason? It cannot have escaped your observation. I allude to the Hon. E. A. Nisbet, who said in. eloquent lan guage some time since u that opposition to the bank, tariff, &c. laid deep in the elements of our party organization.— That the world might turn around us but our principles cannot change.” Yes, The stars shall fade away, Th’ sun himself grow dim with age, And nature sink in years. Or in the language of Hampden, “ the steadfast king'of day may wheel back wards to his orient berk but we shall nev er become the advocates of a U. S. Bank or a Protective Tariff.” Are you not aware, and all the world (in Macon) that this gentleman is now the advocate at least of all these things. Where is the consuming lightningand the dread thunder of I la.npden’s vengeance ? Echo answers where. Imightgothrough a long list of whig leadets and editors equally unchanged and unchangeable, but these will do for the present. If Col. Chappell is as you say, a traitor, a Ma chiavel, anda Benedict Arnold, forcoming out from such a set of political pnritane, pray tell me most potent Hampden what these men are? You accuse Col. Chap pell of changing from a party. I say you have apostetised from your princi ples. You accuse him of treason. Isay yon are ready to sell your couutry for an office. Ijwill pass now to your re marks in reference to the lamented Up shur. Who made you mi exponent of the decrees of Heaven and of the will of the great I AM towards his creatures?— Hampden impiously presumes to be the oracle of Heaven upon earth and reads its providence to the nation. In allusion to the negotiation of the treaty for the re an nexation of Texas, this canting mor alist, this federal blue light says “The treaty is concluded—not signed, for Prov idence paralysed the hand of the Secre tary,” and leaves it to be inferred that the Secretary was struck down by the hand of death because he negotiated the treaty. Has it never occurred to this political Pharisee that “ Bigolry may swell The sails she spreads for Ileav’n with hlastafrom hell!” It Providence struck down Secretary Upshur for his connexion with the Tex as treaty, by whom, and for what was Gen. Harrison stricken down ? As you have taken it upon yourself to explain the Providence Os Heaven in one of these cases, you can doubtless do so in the other. In conclusion, I will only remark in passing, that the futile charges made by Hampden against Mr. Calhoun, and the motives he ascribes to him in connexion with the Texas treaty are so senseless and absurd in themselves and so entirely unsupported by any credible authority, that they are the best proof how few are the points on which calumny can assail him.
