It will be remembered that in the presidential election of 1836, a portion of the Democratic party supported Judge White in opposition to Mr. Van liuren. Tennessee gave her vote to her own citi/. En, AVhite's majority being 9, 84'2. The next year, at the election for governor. Cannon, the ^VIlig candidate, obtained a majority of 19, 873 over Armstrong, Democrat. To succeed, then, Mr. Polk would have to break down a majority of nearly '20, 000 votes, and that, too, against the same gentleman who... received his office through that immense majority but two years before. The indomitable energy and untiring industry of Mr. Polk, however, successfullv performed this Herculean task, and he came ofl' victor in 1S39 with a majority of i2, 6G9, making a Demo- cratii gain in the State of something over 22, 000 votes. In doing this, he abandoned iiduc of his political principles, but maintained what was called his '' ultraism'' and " radicalisni"' with the same JAMES K. POLK. 15 uncompromising sternness that distinguished him while holding a seat in Congress.
