APPEARANCE AND HABITS OF GENERAL PIERCE
Everybody, OF course, is anxious to know something
about the personale of the who is to be next
President. He is not far from five feet eleven inches
in height. and finely proportional. His face is i'm
pressve and commanding, and beaming all over with
the light of intellect and energy. We have never
seen a countenance which exhibits more lofty pur-
pose, zeal and undsguised frankness. With mind
of the highest order, and tremendously developed,
he combines the suavity of a child. His habits
those ofa who believes there great deal to be
done, and very little time to do it. He is forever
work. and may safely say, that from the first time
he entered public life, has spent his powers
profusely carrying out what was allotted to
him, than Gen. Pierce.
AS an orator we will put him against any body in
the country-but his arguments less
compact for the beauty of diction and the elegance
of his gesture In his love of country he is perfect
enthusiast. Had he dozen lives to give they would
be freely yielded up at her shrine. This salient fea-
ture of his character he may have inherited from his
father, who a general in the Revolutionary war;
and, may add, was Governor of New Hampshire
We delight in being thus particular, (though we
have not said all that shall say.)

with music, waited Gen. Scott, who made them a
speech, from which it is evident that he does not

We somewhat amazed a gentleman day before
yesterday, by assuring him that we could not, and
a0ouid not vote for the candidate for the Senate, nom
mated by the Democratic County Convention. He
knew that we always voted the regular Democratic
ticket; and, thinking that must have some enorm-
charge to bring against Mr.. Saunders, asked US
what objection we had to him. None in the world, >
we replied. Then why not support him-why is
it, that you say you not and will not vote for
him? My dear SIR replied, we have gener-
ally passed for white, and feeborn; read write
and CIPHER indifferently well; and modesty apart,
pass for reasonably good Citizen butt then all this
amounts to nothing; can't vote for Senator:
haunt got fifty Of Lqnd.' This will do repre-
sent the position of hundreds of others similarly
situated with Whether it is exactly fair and
equal, is another thing.
Now, it is true that, for sum almost nominal, we
might purchase equal rights-we might go and buy
fifty of swamp land that we have seen,
expect to see and then we, personally,
could vote for the Commons, while for the Senate,
would act in mere representative capacity, hav-
ing fifty swamp acres forcoastituents. But we choose
to look for emancipation upon higher princi ple to
neither buy equality receive it a gift but as
of the prescribed class, to urge it right on
behalf of ourselves, and all others 8 in like manner

PoLk's PREDICTION. Mr. Howard, of Tenn, at a
great ratification meeting held in Buffalo, related an
incident which he said would be interesting Dem
ocrats the truth of which vouched for by Gen.
Armstrong, of the Washington Union. and ]. Knox
Walker Esq, private secretary to President Polk.

Pierce, appointing him to command in the army in
Mexico, he turned to those gentlemen and said, "
now commissioning man ,Oho a0iH one day be
President.'
Mr.. CALHoUN's OPINION OF GEN. PIERCE. John
c. Calhoun was a man whose judgment of character
of the highest order, and whose opinion was Just
ly regarded by the American people of the greatest
importance. Judge Douglas says that, in a CONVEX
sation which he had with Mr.. Calhoun, some three
years since, Mr.. Calhoun remarked that " he looked
upon Frank Pierce, one of the most reliable men,
statesman and patriot, that the country had pro-
duced.''
HENRY CLAWS OPINION OF GEN. PIERCE. Hear
the words of the dying statesman which we commend
to the consideration of every true Wing in the coun-
try. Mr.. Cay's long and intimate knowledge of
Gen. Pierce renders his opinion the more valuable
Mr.. Clay was greatly chagrned when he heard of
the defeat of Gen. Cass, but pronounced franklin
Pierce very good man, who, he felt assured would
administer the government in proper manner. should
he be elected by the people. The opinions OF Mr..
Clay no longer of politician partizan but
those of a far-sighted and patriotic statesman.
Stewards CANDIDATE NOMINATED. AS we have
all along expected, Gen. Scott, the peculiar favorite
of Seward, has received the nomination for President
at Baltimore. Some time since, the Wing, in its
greenness, avowed the opinion that, in opposi-
ton Gen. Scott, feared the effect of his militia
ry fame We spoke honestly, and not at all
sorry that the Wing should have been deceived in
its infauation Scott is the weakes; candidate that
could have been selected, and rejoice at his nomi-
nGtiOn.
The South will universally scout him. and we shall
produce strong Wing testimony, that his nomnation
will be fatal at the North. Virginia whiggery, it
seems, has carried the day. We shall see how the
Wing party of State will receive the IS treacher-
Gus " action of their representatives. The greatest
pledge South Carolina for the nominee. That is the
greatest farce extant-but have no time to COM
ment upon therich developments they will follow
