"MR. PENNoYER Who is this Mr. Pierce
they have lately began to talk aboutw
+. EVERETT.
~" Why, sir, he is the unanimous choice Of
the Democratic Convention at Baltimore, and
of the Democratic party of this yet boundess
continent, as their candidate for the office of
President of the United States. He is the same
PIERCE that was in Mexico planning the battles
and the mode and manner of fighting them
then doing his part and little more in execu-
ting those plans, while one Gen. SCoTT was
looking over his shoulder, into the back ground
for fire in the rear.
"Who is this Mr.. PIERcE!" Why, he is a
plain, honest citizen, at present of New Hamp-
shire man the people of that State have de-
lighted to honor. He is also the man who you
will be obliged to respect as President of these
United States for the next four years, common
cling from the 4th of March next. Strange as
it may appear to you, sir, but nevertheless true,
the Wing party have not a man in their whole
ranks that can beat him in the Presidential
race! | anticipate he will be elected as it were
by accamaton His commission as President,
will bear the sign manual of more of the voters
of this great country than any of his predeces-
sors. New Hampshire will undoubtedly be the
banner State, for the nominee, Mr. PIERCE, and
| to you n stranger. | believe you are one of
those personages that was so anxiousy enqui-
ring, "who is James X. Polk 2" in 1884, when
you in common with the great Wing party was
Polk-ed up to the fountain head of Salt River
We Polk-ed you then, we will Pierce you now
| Please take the stump again as you did in the
last campaign; by doing so you will in that way
learn when trampled down by the Democratic
phalanx, Z" Who this Mr.. PIERCE is that the peo-
| pie begin to talk about" More anon.
