GREAT MEETING IN PITTsBURG.
Tremendons UprIsIng Of the people.


The PittsBurg Union Of Saturday, gives a
long account of the Democratic meeting held
there on Friday night. Col. McCandIess pre-
sided assisted by a number of Vice Presidents
and Secretaries. The speakers were, in addi-
lion to the Chairman, Gen. Hnuston aud Gen.
Shields, who occupied the stand to a late hour.
Eight thousand persons were present, and the
utmost enthusiasm prevailed. Among other re-
marks, Gen, Houston noticed the attempts of
the Wings to dePreciate Gen. Pierce, because
he fell from his no rise and tainted, and aPtly
said
"The gallant Ridgeway, after nobIy fighting
at Monterey, was killed by a fall from his horse.
Why is not ibis made the ground of anot her IA
IRRIGATION, another charge of cowardice 2"
Abiding tohimself, he remarked
"The names of Buchanan, Gass, Douglas, and
Il may as well tell it, Tor you have probably all
heard Of il before this time)-my own name were
among others, presented to the National C%ouven-
ton ofthe Democratic party. All these persons
now acquiesce in the opinion OF that Convention,
that The fitIest man TO be the candidate of the
party atthe presentjuncture was franklin Pierce,
and the Democracy Of the Union will endorse
The sentiment expressed by their representatives.
For my own part, [ entered into his support with
pleasure, as | feel well assured that, if elected,
(and he will be, he will prove worthy Of the con-
iidence reposed in him.
The meeting closed with hearty cheers for
gratifying thus to see the Old "Keystone'' arous-
ed in the cause, as it gives assurance ofa glori-
Gus victory in that Stale.

B-One of the y. York Scott journals having
charged Bennett Of the New York Herald, with
having sold out to the Democracy for the cam
paign, he pleads guilty to the soft impeachment,
and among other easons gives the following for
sustaining the Democratic cause:
"VVe have triedlhe Wing party for the last
four years, and know that they are a selfish
scrambling, unProSressiVe party, unsuited to this
great country, or te g%o'ahead principles of'Uur
people.
I'VE want, therefore, to see the Democratic
party in power, lnm stem to stern: from PTesi-
dent in the Whit House down to page in Con-
gress for at least he next term of office, believ-
ing. that their general policy is more cOngeniaI
with the spirit oftIe people of this country, and
more adapted to. extend our limits, iOur growth,
our power, and influence over the world than The
tfHlidsstand still policy of the present order Of
Wings.
"'fhe Democratlcpatiy have shownthemselyes
to possess more of the'old,Roman spirit of growth
and progress than the Wings have ever done;
and itis only by.thb spiTitthat the Union can be
preserved in tact, abdthe AboIiti0nists be entire.

Hon. A. w. Yenable ofNorth Carolina.


This distinguished member of Congress adj
dressed a large meeting at Richmond, Va, on
Thursday. The Richmond Enquirer states
that the audience was crowded, that ar. We
nable was listened TO with breathless and un.
abated attention for nearIyt Wo hours, and that
his eloquent remarks made a deep impression
on his hearers, which VIII mol. fail 10 be lasting.
The Democratic members of Congress are
returning to their constituents full OF zeal and
to address meetings Of the Democracy, united
and enthusiastic. The Whig members. on the
other hand, are speeding home, disheaTtened and
respondent, alive to the divisions in. their party,
andco6templating an unavoidable defeat. Tbey
do not stop on their journey 10 continue with
their friends ; but they pass on silently and
g%loomily, bTooding over the evil Practices by
which the Wing patty has forfeited the public
respect. They see, when it is too late, that de-.

NOW.

In the Express of Saturday last, its editor says:
"Gen. Pierce's civil services only show that
he is no statesman at all; and his chief recon-
mendation to the party consisted in the fact, that
because of the insigniticance OF his career, they
supposed nothing could be raised against him.
Let us appeal to history for the truth of this sup
position. Whilst a member of Congress he ori.
ginated no measure he gave no prOofOi ability /;
he LEFT his mark nowhere"
When Gen. Pierce resigned his seat in the
Senate he was not "a candidate for the Presiden-
cy; since then the Democracy have chosen him
as their nominee for that important position,
which has wrought a wonderful change in the
Express mans opinion. The weather.cock.

Messrs. LITTLE & BRowS: think YOU have laid
the profession under great obligations, in the re.
publication OF the English Reports in Law and
Equity" in this country.
The low price at which the volumes are offered
will enable the bar generally in this way TO fur.
nish their Libraries with the current English Re.
ports, OF which many Of them have heretofore been
deprived. They will thus have a ready access TO
the decisions OF courts sitting at the fountai in
head Of the law, whence have been derived for the
most part the several systems, more or less modi-
hed daily administered by the courts Of this coun-
try. And. however modified these systems NAV
be, IL is manifest that these decisions must shed
great light upon the investigation of most Of the
cases arising here.
Your plan, also, will furnish the profession in
THE country with the cases ImmEpIArsLy .rTER
