GEN. FRANKLIN PIERCE, Of Ne,U Hampshire, Elec-
ted President, and The Hon. VIM. r. KING, Of Ala
bama, Vice President of the United Safes The re-
suit OF the election for President and Vice President
of the United States, which took place yesterday,
throug the country is sufficiently foreshadowed
in the welay before readers this morning.
establish with certainty the triumphant election Of
Gen. Pierce and MIR. King.
We do not entertain doubt, Notwithstanding the
party vrulence which has characterized the late
test that the President elect will command very
large share of the confidence and respect OF the oPPo
sition party. Indeed, this time when speak
without nvidiousness it is but sheer justice to say
that the manly and dgnied attitude he has maintain
ed through the contest, has not only broken the
force of antagoniSm, but from many of his OPP
ponents their admiration and applause There are,
in fact, members of the wing press who have public
y testified the excellence of his character. and ad
united that their opposition based exclusively
upon political principles. The the redeeming
and gratifying features of the contest; and it is with
the utmost satisfaction that to them, al
most sufficient in themselves to obllterate its rude
vituperaton and conceal its bitter animosities.
Various causes, familiar 10 general observation,
have contributed to the defeat of Gen. Scott; they
will be readily understood by all who understand the
of that sturdy opposition which resisted his
nomination. 10 these 1t IS not necessary to refer
with particularly now.
We state with pleasure, that the news of their dis
aster was borne with commenda5le fortitude by the
wings of Baltimore. They had assembled 10 hear
the reports from the various sections OF country ac-
cessible to Geographic communication, and as the
democratic maorites came rolling in, they were
greeted with good humored shouts of laughter, and
the explosion of gunpowder, provided, of course, fol
different purpose. Nevertheless the article was OF
hand. and they concluded 10 let their democratic
friends have the benefit of it, conceivng, suppose
that they had fairly it. The democrats were ir
high feather - yet bore their bIushing no nors
with due moderation. Altogether, the event passed
off pleasantly enough, and we have no reason to be-
lieve that any body home with the slightest ap
prehension that the country was ruined or that /
might not endure for four years longer

CONCORD, N. H., Nov. 3, 1852.
The lightning line assured US last night, before
half past IL o'clock, that franklin Pierce is Presi-
dent of the United States. The Democracy were
wild with delight, notwithstanding they had never
moments doubt on the subject. The only self-Pos-
sessed, calm, and quiet man in Concord was FRANK
PIERCE himself. He received his victorious bulle-
tins with scarcely change of countenance He
went quietly to bed, as he always does, christian
and a sober man. If we had other proof OF his
superior qualities, this nights conduct would satisfy
US of his eminent possession of them. Every body
in the Granite State loves him like the Bostonians
did Webster He has charm in his that
attaches all to him. His habits plain and unos-
tentatious. His practice yields him large income;
and he is generous to fault. II is said in Concord
by those who know him we'll that he will spend his
Presidential $4,000 every year. The health of
Mrs. Pierce is too feeble for housekeeping, and
with their only child, smart boy of dozen sum
mers, they board in the private family of MIR. w.

tensive mandatory at this place of coaches, omni

THE TRUE MAN.

Franklin Pierce is President elect of the United
States, and it is due to him, well as to the Demo-
cracy that have just placed him in the highest civil
post in the world, epublish his beautiful speech,
just it is eloquent and touching, delivered in
response to the congratulations of his friends, upon
the gratifying result of the October elections in Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Mary land and Florida No
comments be necessary. w e have only italicized
a few passages, which strike being emnently
appropriate and marked with moral beauty:
81 Gen. Pierce acknowledge d the kindness Of his
neghbors and friends, in coming to greet him upon
the reception of intelligence to which they might
well suppose he not Indifferent, though he could
truly say that his position from the first had
excited in him anything like feeling of citation.

might affect Individuals his intelligent cOuntrymen
abundantly competent to take care Of their
interests, under the guidance of that Porcer to aUhich
he aUished could all hnbituaIy look acih hu
niLty and filth. He trusted his friends would
forget that, with heightened and honorable men, The
hour of triumph al,vays the hour Of magnnninify.
1t was not TO be overlooked that there were around
many with whom in daily intercourse,
atths moved by feelings exactly the opposite
of those which called out the assembage before him
and his friends could we'll afford to allow that circum-
stance to detact some what from their generous JOY
He hoped they would also remember that prospect
of success, indeed political elevation ITSELF could
render their neighbor less worthy of the
| fdence and affection for which he profoundly
grateful. To the people of his native State, his heart
acknowledged obligations for the expression of which
language furnished no form. How could it be other
wise For than twenty years, their disinter-
ested friendship for him had never been chilled,
their confidence shaken. He had not The arrogance
to believe that his services had been at all common
with their steady, unsolicited Partially. To
the record of that partiaity he would look with
pride and qualification. From the record of his acts,
as its recipient, he had neither the right the in
clinaton to away. He would freely confess to
his friends that within the last few weeks, it had
been peculiarly pleasant to KNOW that yseUenyeu
umOny this DeOpL, bon and man, had giren to their
faith in him such strength, that falsehood could not
