No man in his dis trict ever ventured to revive the misrepresen tation, until recently some of the most reckless of the whig papers attempted it. We make a single extract from Gov. Polk’s letter to his constituents in 1833. After quo ting his votes from the Journals, in that letter lie says: “Were it necessary to produce furthei proofs of my efforts to better the condition of these - ‘poor old men,’ I venture to affirm that many beer and soldier, to be computed and divided [[ think I should not be niistal ten if I were to among them in proportion to the lank they j say not less than a hundred] of the venerable held und the time they were in service, and also to make provision for the widows of such officers and soldiers, as were slain or otherwise died while in service, or have since died.” For this amendment Gov. Polk voted—(see Journal, pages 140, 152.) At the session of 1827-8, a bill was before soldiers of the revolution, residing within the four counties which I have lately represented, might be brought for ward ,"\vho, with uplifted hands, would be ready to testify that they have applied to me for advice and aid in their ef forts to procure pensions, and with one voice they will say I have never turned a deaf ear Congress, granting pensions to a particular to any one of them; but on the contrary, tho plow' mI talVi /»n rC nT lltn PAntinonlnl 'l rm V afl/l !*. _ . „ . . • . • . . • .. . class of officers of the continental army, and including a small number only of the soldiers of the continental army—who were embraced by the terms ofa resolution passed by the old Con gress in 17SS—but excluding from its provi sions all the balance of the soldiers of the state line, volunteers and militia. For the latter no provision whatever was made by the bill.— The discriminations contained in the bill in fa vor of a particular class of the officers of the army of the revolution, and excluding others equally meritorious—and excluding also tho soldiers of the continental line, (except a very it was not strictiy connected with my official duty, they will bear mo willing testimony that I have, without fee or reward, aided them in their efforts to procure pensions.

I boldly venture to affirm that no one of the soldiers of the Revolution can be and militia, many of whom had performed meritorious service and were poor and needy, Gov. Polk could not approve. He consider ed tho discrimination unjust, and voted against bill. The proceedings on this bill took place on the 13th of May, 1S2S. Every member of the Tennessee delegation, with a single ex ception, voted with Gov. Polk on this bill, viz: John Dell, John Blair, David Crockett, Robert Desha, Jacob C. Isaac, John JI. Mar- ablc, and James C. Mitchell, voted with him. At the session of 1828-9, a pension bill was be foie the House. “The provisions of this bill avoided the inviduous and unjust discrimi nations of the bill of1828, tipd were more equi table in tiieir character, and for this bill Gov. Polk voted, ns the Journal will shew (see Jour nal, pages 331 and 337.) At the next session of 1829-30, a bill grant ing pensions to the soldiers of the revolution was before the House for which bill Governor Polk voted (see Journal, page 291.) At the 69me $c$sjon ( a pension bill was be fore the House, but no provision was made by Mr. Joint Parker. From what we had learned privately, we had supposed this matter was set entirely at rest. AVe arc, however disappointed, and the last Messenger contaios a long communication in which we can not for the life of us, find a single refutation of what we asserted and proved, unless it be the fact, that 3Ir. Parker was not here at the Convention.— This it will be remembered, was said on the au thority of a gentlemen who afterwards gave us his certificate which we published. It is a matter of little importance w'hether Mr. Parker was her or not at the Convention. The gist of the dispute turned on the fact, whether Mr. Parker was a Whig now or a democrat. Whenever it is proven that he is still a modern whig, we may possibly consent to elevate the correspondent of the Messen ger, to notice. While Beeve and Bull-dog are growling at us, w-e must watch them and suffer Tray and Fidelle, to snap at our heels. Delaware Elections.

Too many of them know the service which I have cheerfully ren dered to themselves personally and individual ly. They are not the persons who raise this false clamor. My opinion lias always been that the provisions of the pension laws should be extended equally and alike to all the soldi ers of the revolution who were.poor, or in such indigent circumstances in life as to make it acceptable and comfortable to them in their old age, and that it mattered not whether they belonged to the Continental army, militia, State troops, or Volunteers, if they performed service, equally meritorious and of equal dura tion—all should be equally provided for. By the former pension laws, those only of the con tinental line or regular army who were in indi gent circumstances were embraced. Those of Maryland Elections.
