The last Charge.

sThe very latest charge against General
Pierce is, that he began life q federdtist!
The Albany Journaly Boston atlas, and
other reckless federal papers are circulating
this ridiculous story. They state that he
sshelpsd defeat Gen. jackson when be FIRST
ran for the presidency" &c. Now this is
too palpsbly absurd TO merit a serious ref
utation; but as there are papers mendaclous
enough to make such statement, there
may be men simple enough TO believe them
and therefore we will give these assertions
q formal aud specific denial. When Gen.
Jackson first ran for the Presidency, Gen.
Pierce was but 20 years Of age, he was
then "a jackson man." His father was
ore Of the original friends Of Gen. jackson
in this State; and the son was from the start
ansnthusiasiic supporter Of Old Hickory.
His first vote in presidential election was
for him; and he was active and influential
in his support. In word, Gen. Pierce
WAS never anything but Democrat; II
neEer was in his nature to be anything else;
he never voted any other than the Demo-
cratic ticket. He inherited his Democracy
it was born to him; his progenitors, or
both sides, were revolutionary Democrats,
and supporters Of Jefferson and Madison;
and bis patriotic and gallant old father
would have disowned him If he had apos-
talized even for a day from political princi.
pies in support of which he had fought and
snffered and sacrificed so much. "-Ne1
