of Franklin Pierce, of New Hampshire, from ffty-fue
votes the forty eighth ballot to the tremendous
nimity Of t,oo hundred and cighfyhree the forty
ninth, demonstrating, well said in the convention,
that he the second choice OF tUery State, and there
fore the first choice of all the Staies proclaimed in
voice of thunder that the eye of the democracy recog
missed at in Young Hickory Of the Granite Hills"

irresistible plainly announced that the character history,
and position Of franklin Pierce responded with signal
power and fullness the capital exigencies Of the day

Less Than hours had elapsed after the render

recognise the settlement OF the sectional Issues To this
end the wings in legislature after legislature in repeated
votes in Congress. and finally in congressional
conclaye have epudaed with scorn any and every form
OF compromise resolutions To this end the whole northern
