II 1t turns out, after all, that Franklin
Pierce's Democracy is rather of recent date.
He started in politics as a John Quincy Ad-
ans man, and used his influence against
Gen. Jackson and the Democracy. This
may be rather startling intelligence to some
Of the Democrats, but the authority for it is
no less parsonage than Isaac Hill, who,
for more than quarter Of a century, and till
the time of his death, bore the democracy
of New Hamshire upon his strong, broad
shoulders. The following paragraph is ta-
ken from the New Hampshire Patriot of
1884, Of which Isaac Hill was the editor:
Frank Pierce commenced law business
about the year 1926. and boarded with his
father in Hilsborough. In that year he
made the old gentleman so far non-commit-
tai that his name was then used as dis
counenanclng the senior editor Of the Patri-
OF, in his opposition TO John Q. Adams; he
helped and assisted the federal lawyers of
that day to call out the strength of his IA
theirs name against Andrew Jackson: and it
was not until the close Of the yeat 1927 that
the sterling old patriot broke away from the
pernicious influence of his degenerate SON.
This item in Pierce's life is not given in
his recently published biography. 1t should
be copied into the next edition, for it is prop
er that the democracy should know that in
supporting Pierce they are supporting man
who "ossistcd the federal lawyers" OF New
Hampshire to defeat Old Hickory. VIII
the "Old Guard honor man whose "per-
nicious influence" was brought 10 bear
against Gen. Jackson for the Presidency?

Thomas Jefferson and John Adams.

There is no chapter in American history
which can be read with more unalloyed
pleasure than that which tells us OF the
friendship which marked the last years of
these devoted patriots. They had been ri
vals--the heads of conending, excited par
ties. Each in his turn had been preferred
by the American people TO the other, for
the highest office within their gift. They
themselves had partaken Of the bitterness
Of the conflict; SO much so, that when JET
ferson was elected to fill the Presidential
chair in place Of Adams, (Says q cotempo-
rary,) the latter broke over all the ordinary
rules of courtesy, SO far as TO leave
Washington suddenly, on the evening Of
the third of March, because he would moi re-
main TO witness the inauguration of his 'ri-
val on the fourth. Yet these men, (says the
same wrter,) these American patriots,
when their political campaigns were over,
and they had retired, the one TO his Monti-
cello and the other to his Montezilo, and
were passing quietly down the vele of years,
these former foes turned to each other with
mutual esteem and mutual affection, and
looked upon each other as brother patriots
and fellow laborers in the great cause Of
their country's freedom and prosperity.
While thus in their retirement, walking
thoughtfu|y
son the silent. solemn shore,
Of that vast ocean they must sail so soon,'
the following beautiful and touching cores
pondence passed between them. 1t was
about three years before their Simultaneous
death, which occurred on the 4lh Of July,
and the filtieth anniversary Of our indepen-
dence.
The letter Of Mr.. Jefferson was written
soon after an attack upon him by ''Native
Of Virginia" and when there was strong
expectation of war between Russia and
Turkey; this will explain some allusions in
the letters,
