We have been told, over and over again, by the papers in the Texas interest, that their candidate for the Presidency is a religious man. a member of the cburch, Itis true, their testimony does not ngree very well, one saying he is a member of the Baptist church, another of the Methodist, and a third of the Presbyterian; and it has even been; said that he is a Roinnn Catholic. To this last statement, a person of respèctability has filed in the office of ïhe Journal of Commerce a peremptory dcnial. He says: "Gov. Polk is not a Roman Calholic. His father was a Presbyterian; his wife and mother are now members of that denomination; and he attends the Presbyterian church oftener than any other. The writer of this has been a neighbor of Gov. Polk for thirty years." The' Richmond Whig has a letter from a correspondent in Tennessee, whichsays he "swears equal to John Tyler"- or, we suppose, equal to Henry Clay himself. Birney is the only man of the four that "fears an cath." - Boston Chronicle. 05a" Many Whigs hate the Liberty party worse than they do "the Locos" whom they denounce so much. The Lowell Journal, a prominent Whig paper of Massachusetts, has a notice of the change of Hon. Ross Wilkins, of this State, from the Democratie to the Liberty party, and heads his article, "From Bad to Worse." We are glad to see those Whigs who have such preferences in favor of sham Democracy, honest enough to avow them.
