Republican Wings Read !!


The Southern Patriot, published, at Green
vile, South Carolina, contains the proceed
ings Of large public meeting, by which it
appears that Gen. Waddy Thompson, dis
tinguished wing; formerly minister to Mex
leo, and warm supporter Of Fillmore's adj
ministration, renowned Gen. Scott in con-
sequence of his utilization with the Seward
party of abolitionists, and comes up cordial
" to the support of Gen. Pierce and Col
King. In the proceedings of the meeting
signed by +. P Brockman, chairman, d.
Hoke, secretary, the following notice of
Thompson's speech is taken:
Gen. Waddy Thompson said that, being
a member of the wing party, it was perhaps
not proper that he should address the meet
ing, but that he could not forbear paying
tribute to the worth of General Pierce's pri-
vate and public character, and his faithful
ness to the rights of the South and the
whole country. He said that he admired
Gen. Scott above most men he had known !;
spoke of their intimate acquaintance, the pu-
rity of his life, and his his Oh social and NOR
al virtues; but that he feared he (Scott) had
been sedpced within the influence of north
efn men who were hostile to the South, its
interests and institutions, and he could not
subscribe to the internal improvement and
tariff features of the wing platform,

The Hold Back Party.

The Cincinnati Enquirer calls the wings
"the hold back part" and gives string of
facts to sustain the designation.
1t tried to Hold the democratic party back
from purchasing Louisiana. By which pur-
chase the United States acquired a vast re-
gion of most fertile land, ont of which sew
eral States have been carved and are now
stars in the galaxy Of the American Union.
1t tried to hold the democratic party back
from declaring war in 1912, when the honor
of the country required vindication by arms.
And after war had been acted upon, they
tried to hold the government back from an
energetic and vigorous prosecution of the
same.
1t tried to hold the democratic party back
from the annexation of Texas.
1t tried after the country had become en-
gagged in war with Mexico, to hold back
the Administration at Washington from con-
quering peace, by refusing to vote sup
plies to carry on the war, thereby endeavor-
ing to starve the army into disgraceful re-
treat or submission to the enemy.
It endeaVored to hold back the democrat
ic party from acquiring New Mexico and
California as an indemnity for the expenses
of the war forced upon the United States by
the act of Mexico
And now it is going to try to hold back
the democratic party from placing General
Frank Pierce in the People, House at Wash

A Singular Case for Medical Men.

On the morning of the 4th July, while
the salute was firing on the Battery, New
York, two young men were bathing in the
rear of Castle Garden. The two were div
ing into the water just at the moment when
one of the heavy guns was fred. Itwas OBJ
served that they remained under water an
unusual length of time; but they at length
came up, and appeared to the bystanders to
act in a strange and unusual manner. They
were rescued and taken from the water, and
what is sad to relate, both were utterly be-
reft of reason. They were conducted to
their homes, where one of them remained
till Friday, in state of insanity, at which
time there were signs of returning reason
The other is still maniac, and has been sent
to the Lunatic Asylum.

THE WORLD AS 1T rs.

This world is not sobad world
As some would like to make il;
Though whether good, or whether bad,
Depends on how we take it.
For if we scold and fret all day,
From dewy morn till even,
This world will meier afford to man
A foretaste here of heaven.
This world in truths as good world,
As e'er was known to any
Who have not seen another yet,
And these are very many.
And if the men, and women too,
Have plenty of employment,
Those surely must be hard to please
Who cannot find enjoyment.
This world is quite a clever world,
In rain or pleasant weather,
If people would but learn to live
In harmony together;
Nor seek to burst the kindly bond
By love and peace cemented,
And learn the best of lessons yet,
To always be contented
Then were the world pleasant world,
And pleasant folks were in it,
The day would pass most pleasantly
To those who thus begin it;
And all the nameless grievances,
Brought on by borrowed troubles,
Would prove as certainly they are,
A mess of empty bubbles.

LIFE OF FRANKLIN PIERCE
BY MITAGE.
THE BALTIMORE CONVENTION.


The announcement that Franklin Pierce
had received the unanimous vote Of the Bal
timcrc Convention, was heard with accama-
tious cf joy by that vast assembly; and
wherever the glad news flow On the wings of
the lightning, j was hailed with heartfelt
enthusiasm by great a"d free people.
The convention had been three days as
scmblcd, and nomination seemed to be no
nearer than ever. Each delegation had
stood faithfully by their favorite; and how
ever severe the rcpulse they had after each
defeat, returned manfully again to the en-
counter. Nor was this spectacle one over
which every true-hearted American might
not rejoice-for it was but the friendly
struggle of brothcrs-all enlisted in the same
glorious campaign, but each most closely at
tached to a beloved Leader Like the shin
ing hosts of the Crusaders, each division
rallied under the banner of its chief-but al
went forward under the broad standard O

GENEROSITY OF TENNESSEE.

perity. Tennessee cast her vote cheerfully
and unbidden for the Son of New Hamp
shire, whom jackson loved so well, and whc
had always so manfully and unfinchingly

ciples.

ana generously given up Party triumphec
ar-. over faction, and then country triumph

CHARACTER OF OLD GENERAL PIERCE.

Old Gen. Pierce was man of sterling
integrity, unhinching courage, practical good
sense, plainly educated, ike almost every
other man in New Hampshire at the time,
fervdly devoted to the independence and
glory of his country, upright in all his deal
ings with his fellow-men, and generous III
every transaction; public spirited, and zeal
Gus in the promotion of improvements and
education; nor was there man in New
Hampshire, friend or foe, that ever dreamed
of impeaching his honor. He was hard
working farmer, and got his living by cult
waiting his own acres. Having been one Of
the fathers of the American Republic, he
knew what liberty was worth, for he knew
what it had cost and to the last day of his
life he resisted, with all his heart and soul
every encroachment upon the sacred guar
antees of the National and State Constitu
tions, and brought up his family with the
same sentiment of veneration for the great
!. Palladium Of our Liberty.

where he again resumed the duties of his
profession. 1t is most earnestly to be hop
ed that some change may have taken place
for the better, either in the climate of
Washington, or the health of Mrs. Pierce,
forit is very certain that she will be obliged
to go back there-at all events, she will be
very strange exception to most of her sex,
if the air of the Capitol, on the Fourth Of
March meet, does not agree with her.

CAUSES OF GENERAL PIERCE's POPULARITY
AT HOME.

His retirement from the Senate in 1842.
was witnessed with much regret; and when
he left the Senate Chamber for the last time,
every token of respect was shown to him
The Fathers of the Senate, Clay, Benton,
King, Calhoun and many others gathered
around him with every demonstration of
high personal regard, and every assurance
that he would long be remembered by them.
Little did he then think, when he had re-
solved forever to retire to private life, that
he would be called by the voice of the peo-
pie to occupy the hi CHEST Office in their gift.
When he again touched the soil of his native
State, the people whom he had served with
so much fidelity, assembled to greet him,
yet with the JOY they manifested on again
meeting him face to face, was mingled an
undisguised regret that he had left the pub
lie council.

CHARACTER or NEW HAMPSHIRE MEN.

This veteran patriot, who had been train
ed in the school of Washington, and the
perils of the Revelation, brought up his
children with the same high, moral, and So
ciaI principles in which he had been trained,
and he made his sons such men as himself;
and such men grow in no other part of the
world but New Hampshire-men who can
not be rich, because they are honest, and
their cold rocky soil gives back only mea-
gre sheaf to the husbandman. What man
gets in New Hampshire, he works for; what
education, for the most part, the New Hamp-
shire man gets, he getsin the district school
house, to which he beats his own snow-path,
in the tempests of winter, that howl among
the hills. But there are no poor men IN
New Hampshire, for her citizens are all IN
dustrious. Such is the State to which Vir-
ginia went, and such the stock Virginia
chose, to gain guide who eould be trusted,
man who could not be bought, and a
Magistrate who would execute the laws OF
the country, come what might.
