transcript from the record-Teste
CHAs HOWARD, Clerk
c.s.,.. n.-..-.,1v,,ocra New Hamsphe, General
Pierce place Of residence. says:
"CoScoRD MoSpAy JUNE 7, 1852.
Sat about half past two last Saturday afternoon. all here
were thrown great confusion by the Geographic report
that our neighbour Frank Pierce had received the nomna
ton the Democratic Convention al Baltimore. Not
man in Concord could believe it, What an idea !! Frank
Perce-,he "Hcro OF many wel-longh Bottle" card
date for the Presidency of these United S,ates He s SUI
peror lawyer and like Choa,e exercise mighty infu
ence upon the Jury Alas for the Democratic party when
duced TO such extremity! He never can be elected
immoral Gissipated man walked our streets He
obliged
he almost continually intoxicated! Thus much
the Democratic candidate President We hope that
high office will never be dIsgraced by such man.
"Yours, &c, Bella"
We have heard similar reports from other quoers-which
If tend explain General Pierces marvellous facility
in falling from his horse.
Habits of ntemperance crimes punishable by the
law of the land they may be INDUCED by private in
dvidua TO his hearts content But do consider that
they enchaucc once fitness for Office and least OF ALL for
the first Office in the gift of the American people, The Pres
iden OF the United States holds in his hands all the laws
The Unions and he is to great extent the arber-of
peace and addicted TO habitual intoxication
would be an unsafe depository OF such vast powers.
The above is made editorial article in the Richmond
Wing OF yesterday Under the postscript head of the same
paper, he WhigD find the following rerax from the
Tribune tho editor Of which Is Son Of Temperance and
an advocate of the Maine Liquor Law:
GEN. PIERCE'S PRIVATE CHARACTER. = The |
illusions to Gen. Pierces personal character and habits
ghch appeared in letter from Concord, N H. in last
would have been we hnd them before
publishing the letter We do not know them we'll
founded and in the absence of any proof presume they
erroneous, or al least grossly exaggerated Gen Pierce
but we know nothing with regard his habits which should
expose him public apprehension We regret the al
fusion OF our correspondent appeared in columns.
Tho New York Express, referring tho letter of the
Tribune's correspondent, says:
Mr.. Pierce has weak points enough attack without
accusing him OF Drunkenness and 10 truth 10
that knew him in Washington from the winter OF 1885
until the time of his resignation and tho
least sign Of intoxication.'
