mir. Pierce was evidently selected
on ,l" ground Of his previous insignia.
rnncy IN the contest +; the unot)ectiona.
blenesa Of medioc,i,y. We shall now
hear Of hitherto undiscovered merits Of

soon have cause TO blush that II Inns pev.

cnts, the peculiar filness for this high
Office, of Gen. Franklin Pierce

Jus, a. We ars going 10 press, ~

franklin Pierce. .Wim the Devil Is
he : you ask with surpi.e. Well all
We know about him Is that he il said TO
be from New Hampshire; and did ser.
vice mora or less, some where in Mes.
leo, during tue Mexican war, Of course
he's all rik ht--but We don't believe he
will i've 10 be President
Tie Tribune says:
Franklin Pierce il man Of fair per.
sonal abilities and the bil,ercst partisan
frelingr Hs evidently considers that
this country was created on purpose ia
be ruled by the party styling itself
Democratic. ind never hari,ored sus
picion that that purity ever was or could
be in error. If asked whnt was the oc.
casion Of Adam. Fall. he would in.
stinc,ively answer Federalism! lie
never had one Progressive idea, but IL

A. to the qualifications Of the nom.

evidently sbont as good as PoiEs.--
Cen Pierce has q good deal Of the
cunning and strategy Of politics abou,

the more distinctly bunker phase Of
New Hampshire democracy. lie pos
sesscs fair talents--someihing beyond
mediocrity--bu. they have Ter years
been employed in schemes Of party
SUCCESS, instead Of developing a wise
and far. reaching sta,ejmanship.-Hi.
views have narrowed themselves down
TO the purposes Of party. instead of ex>
banding into more wide and more
generous share of faction and usefulness
If elected to the Presidency, he will be
President o. a patty, and will be Pres
idcn, Of a party, and will see nothing
and do nothing, beyond the narrow con
fines tO which his party vision may ex
tend
