Mr. Polk And His Slaves

It nppears thattbe article we recently pubHsbed purporting to be an extract fïom "Roerbucks Tour in 1836r' was in part a forgery. All btit the last clause is taken from Feathertonhaugh's Travels. Some scoundrel transcribed the article from that work to make the deception more complete, and ndded the sentence respectinglbe branding of Polk's slaves. The fabricator descrves nivereal execration. The arlicle is said to have first appeaied in the Ithica Chronicle, as a commiricaíion.
