Some of Gen Pierces sympsthizog friends ia this
vicinity, who have to be ground, arc giving
themselves considerable anxiety lest he shall be
with applicants for office after his inaugura-
ton, and eventually meet the fate of Generals
Harrison and Taylor | am inclined to think
that these apprehensons are groundless While
General Pierce will, in accordance with his
known habits of industry, first give full at
te0tion to the legitimate duties of his high
station, and that being done, afterwards consider
the requests of bis friends and supporters, when
brought TO his notice At proper time and IN pro-
per manner, he will not suffer himself to be thorned
to death by personal importantly. Those who at
tempt to take him by the button hole, without
being previously invited, will be sure to burn their
fingers Besides he is strict observer of the Sab
bath For proof, ask any OF the brave fellows from
New England who accompanied him to Mexico, and
they will tell you that be never allowed unnecessary

indicating three or four degrees below Zero, the
gentlemen accompanying him proposed to stop over
