Democratic Nominee.

Democratic Nominee.
The New York Herald says of the
Democratic Nominee, Gen. Pierce:
in political principles he is sound to|
the back b9ne-a democrat of the
old S bhool, free from all the isa'8 of
the day; and that he distinguished
himself in the Mexican war. Of his
nomin nation, the same paper says, it
was the best that could have been
made, and was received in the city
of New York with general eXqltation|
by alb the respectable and most in
huent tial members Of the democracy
They are now confident Of carrying
the State Of New York, in Noyem-
Der, againstany whig candidate that
may be started. Gen. Pierce has
quite enough of military reputation
to tall e the wiry edge off Of &c neral
Scott, who has nothing else to trust.
Gen. PierceIis, besides, a good states
man "a sound politieian-a sensible
man "a discreet man-and never
wrote any f'hasty -plate-oi-soup' let
ters his life. lie is perfectly
sound on the Compromise, and on
every other question Of great nation
al interest. He went through the
great campaign Of Mexico with brave
ry, co prage and patriotism At the
close he rested quietly on his deeds,
and made no attempt to get up
quarr4ls with his brother officers, or
to clai m exclusive credit over othersI
for pc rforming his duty to his coun-
try.
The correspondent of the Balti7
more Sun, in writing from Washing
ton, S ays: The nomin ations of Gen
Pierce and Col King please best on
the sober second thought; and the
more democrats reflect the more are
they satisfied with it.
l have not heard, as yet, a single
whisper Of discomfort, and there IS nc
doubt whatever but that the ticket
made in Baltimore will bring out thd
whole strength of the party in New
York and Pennsylvania. 1t spreads
satisfaction and content everywhere
The platform, especially, is giving
satisfaction all round, and it is that
which will give strength to the nom
nations. The democrats say they
want nothing but an unexceptioia1
bic man; the principles set forth in
the declaration must do the rest.
I'll e Gin ncinnati Enquirer, in speak
ing Of &c IN. Pierce, says lie is an
accomplished gentleman, liberal tho
very decided, in his views. He il
about City years of age, of fine pert
sona5 appearance and Of an exceed
ingly agreeable and social disposi+
tion, lie is just the kind Of a mall
that every American would hkeB
could they be brought in personal |
contact with him. We speak thiF
from our personal knowledge of the
man. II He will fIl with honor the
Presidential Chair, and will do it WITH
frmness and ability, but with an abb :
sence of haut teur, which can not but
be agreeable to the Republican sim :
plicity OF the American people.
The Louisville Democrat says !:
Our distinguished leader, Gen. Piercd,
stands ID the front ranks Of the dem :
ocratic party. He has been electeI I
a member of the House Of RepreseH :
tatives and of the Senate Of the Z. 81,
where he served with marked ability
He was rendered a place in Mt.
Polk's cabinet, that Of Attorney Gell :
eral, which he respectfully declined
Subsequently he served in the army,
during the Mexican war. He is re-
rarded as one of the most eminent
iurists in the Z. S.; he is just the
man upon whom the democratic PAP
| ty of the North, and South, and East,
and West can unite in one sole
phalanx and give a unanimous sa p
port.
The Louisville Times says At
Contreras, when tlashing over t the
pedrigal for the purpose Of headih hg
his brigade, Gen. Pierce horse iell
under him, and crushed the leg oil
his rider in the fall. The battle Of
| Cherubuseo followed next day, a nd
scornino TO hang back within his tent.
