Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Eulogy Upon the Life and Character of James K. Polk: Late President of the United States, Delivered at Washington City, July 9, 1849
In entern upon the task, to the performance of which I have been invited by the Jackson Democratic Association of this city, I find myself in some degree relieved from the ne cessity of entering into detail by the extended circulation of several well written and accurate biographical sketches of ex President Polk which has taken place in the last five years. In the remarks, therefoie, which I propose to submit by way of eulogy upon the deceased, I shall limit myself to a notice of certain prominent events in his civic career, accompanied by a few observations upon his character and conduct as a demo cratic statesman.
