The best informed men at the North enter

Franklin Pierce will be the next President of
the United States. And from the best infor-
nation that | can get of his character, my idea

list. Those who drink long at the fountains Of
the General Government are too apt TO forget
the sovereignty of the States, TO look upon the
General Government as everything and the
States as nothing. Be il then known to all the

Pierce, the stern. Republican, the staunch State
Rights Rights man, the man of the people and
from the people, the peoples choice, is and of
right ought to be, the next President Of these
United States.
The ST. Louis Times has The following:
In the last seven weeks we have visited the
States of Iowa. Wisconsin,, Illinois, Indiana,
Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and Connecticut. We have had the opportunity
ofseeing many of the prominent Northern politi
clans and statesmen, besides mingling pretty free

thing of the political pulse in those States. The
great leading feature EhGl distinguishes this cam.
paigu from all preceding ones, is the utter, total,
lileless, apathy, and stagnatinn manifest in the
Wing party of the North. There are no mass
gatherings there is no enthusiasm, no hurrah,
no clap,tfap, and gunpowder eclat-nothing but
the broad, desoiaie, aud mufisd Dead Sea of in
difference, over which the Wing ship of State is
beng slowly urged forward by the concealed
screw of anti rem, anti slavery, anti.constitutiun
and law, Which Greeley, Seward, Fred Douglas,

There is another Remarkable feature in the
Northern canvass. and that is, the open and I'M
disguised contempt with which the old fashioned
Clay and Webster pfosecntion Wings treat their
"Southern State Rights platform. while the New

is-and there is no Disgusting it-as a National
organization, the Why party has no existence.
The platform in The Moth, and the nominee and
his guardianssin The South, has operated upon
the old Wing party proper, as the " confusion OF
tongues" did upon the builders of Babel il has
scattered them TO the four winds Of heaven, and
will give them as many creeds as the babelites
