Polk, James K.
ms
"...We had a passing visit last night from President Polk. He stopped at the Long Wharf on his way to New York. He adressed the crowd from the boat and waggishly remarked he should be most happy to see them (it was dark as pitch) and give them an opportunity of seeing him, but public engagements, etc., ...then one of the audience cried out 'lights - bring a lantern' and presently two candles ere held up on each side of his head. that wouldn't do--They, the women especially wanted to see the whole of him and bawled out for mre lights. They gave him three faint cheers and nine tremendous shouts for old 'Zack Taylor'..."
