Boylc couuty, June 22, 1844. Tbus it will be sccu that a little more than onc montb aflcr Mr. Jamcs G. Birney sub t.cribcd so solcmnly to liberty priuciplcs, he is lounu sclhpg a "nuiuau ueing" into pcr pctual slaverv! Charles is still a itere, toil- ing on a cutton farm iu Mississippi. Outbc I5lh of July, onc wcek latcr than the above sale, is dated Mr. Birney's cclebrated lcttcr abandoning thc Coloiiization Society, and coming ont for immcdiatc amancipation. Probably the vcry pen used in drafting that cclebrated "liberty" prodtiction, was cm ploycd by Mr. Birney in siguiug the hillof sale for his last slare! .' You ask me if Mr. Birney did not sell most ofhis slaves beforc hc turncd Abolitionist? Hc did. Aud did be not do worse? Did be not tnrn Abolitionist and ajicncards sell his slaves? He assurcdly did. In doing this be, of course, sinued against "light and knowledge," ndd his solemuly signed "con viction" ofjchrislian dnty. Underthebauncr ofsuch a man are many trjing to rally iu tbe North, nnd to turn thcm against Mr. Clay. L7ntil latcly, too, they had powcrful allics in this unholy crusade. Since thc Baltimore Dcmocratic Convention, however, I prcsume the Democracy (alias doughfaccs) of tbe North are less shocked than formerly at the idea ofsupporiing a slareholdu for ollicc. Upn the truth of the facts I have giveu you, you may stakc thc rriumphof thecause. The contrasts bctween Clay and Birney you will not beslow to draw, and whit'h stands laircr as a slaveholder Ict the houcst and candid deeidc. Clay nevcr got possession ofa slave whose condition was not improvcd by the cbange. Ofthc whole number living with him. proba bly not onc would leavc him though Mr. Clay should fill their pockcts with "frce papers." Nearly all of Birney's slaves ?re jrorie o.T fiom having passcd through his hands. He took them to the South, and they scat tered like sheep ajnong "wolvcs." Alabama is, in thc matter sf slavery, a very Gchcnne compared with Kentucky. The "sound of the lash" is nerer heard ai Asbland. Mr. Clay's servants though nnminally slaves, are as much voluntary laborcrsas tbe best pbilanthropist could de- far to make one's remarks imvressire. r- , T J ivuiiiim iinut cooi c.

The State Printer is exccedingly umvill inc to disturb the asbcs of Col. Polk's an cestor. who happens to have been a Tory durinz our Revolutiouary War. The Elec- tors, however, will be very likely to cnquire into this matter, the more cspecially Col. Polk himseif bas shown strong Tory in stincts by voting, wbile in Congress, against l'eusions forsurviviug Soldiers ofthc Revo lution, though williug cnough to vote money to tbose who wereconcerned in AVars wnged more rccently to rob thc Creck and Chero kec Indians of their Lands and their Mincs. We have already showu. from the ofTicial Congrcssional rccord, that Col, Polk votcd steadily against Revolutiouary Pcnsion Laws wbile in Congress. We now otTer conclu sive proof tbatbis Aucestor nbandoned the cause of Aracrica, at the darkcst hour of the Revolution, acccpted the protection of Lord Corswallis, and took tbe Oatb of Alle giaucc to Gcorge the Third. Tho Charlotte (N. C.) Journal, a papcr publishcd where Col. Polk's ancestors sct tled, aud whcrc Col P. biraself was born, says: "Ezckiel Polk, tbe grandfather of Jamcs K. Polk was a MOST RECREANT TO RY. He cxhibited througb the war a most vascillaliu" and uudccidcd course of conduct uhich he finally crowned, for motices of atarice, by taking thc oatu of ailegiancc to the British Government. Wc would rcfer all those who wish to know the particulars of this subjcct, to all the soldiers of our revo lution who now reside in Mecklcnburg." Iu 18-11, whcu Col. Polk was a candidatc for Governor, iu Tennessee, the Loco Focos claimcd support for him upou the ground that bis Grandfather was a Patriot ofthe Rcv olutiou and oueof thc signers ofthe Meck lenhurg Declaration. This Icd to an investi galiou which dcmonstratcd tbe fact that there were, during thc Revolutiou, two Polk families at Mecklcnburg, one of which was Wmo aud the other Tory ; and that James K. Polk was adcscendant ofthe Tory fami ly. It also called out tbe following letter from an old Ycterau who is still living, and whose veracity nd cbiracteris unquestion cd aud uuassailable : Mr.crcLE.vnuno, Jc.ne 19, 1844. Atthe commcnccmcnt ofthe War ofthe Revolutiou, Ezckiel Polk. at that time ares- identof North Carohua, rcceived a Captam's commission iu thc militia, nnd raised a com pany on tbe Iroutiers of the State, against the Chcrokcc Indians. 1 was one of that company. Aftcr this, Ezckiel Polk was or dercd to procced with b"n company into South Corlina, to protcct the whitcs against-! the negroes that he refuscdto do. The winter following, he procccdcd with his company, on an expcdition against thc Tories, statioued not far from Ninty-Six, un dcr Cunningham. FROM THIS TIME HE DID NOTHING TO FAYOR THE WHIGS DURING THE WAR. WHEN LORD CORNWALLIS MARCHED HIS ARMY INTO THIS COUNTY. AND E RECTED HIS HEAD QUARTERS IN AND TOOK BRITISH PROTECTION. One Jack Barnette, baviuglcarned that Polk had gone to Charlotte, to avail himseif of British protection, determiiiated to way-Iay him as be returned, and kill him. From bis course he was detcrred by his friends. I was in the way, and persoually know these facts tobetrue. THOS. ALEXANDER.
