The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1852-11-10

General Scott, and the Seward clique which has
had him In keeping, was Of itself sufficient to sink
half q dozen political parties. Is most true Either
Seward, or Greeley, or Bolts, or Jones, or John
ston, singiy, taken In an homeopathic dose even,
would have used up any man-even ono who
could face 70 900 Mexicans at Chepultepec, or
whip the British on the Niagara frontier. SO with
those MY three speeches, or the Shevegammon
Robinson speeches, and Cooney letters the Native
American docu ments, or the personal attacks upon
General Pierce or Philosopher GTeeley's loud call
IRON the anx i0us seats Of Fourieriem to know
"Why am whig?" Either one of these was
CROUCH to disgust nation 60 generally intelligent
and discriminating as the people Of the United
States. But what could they have done without the
HERALD, with its enormous circulation, through
which they have daily been furnished with d0ou-
ments statistics, and facts calculated to eluoidate
all these matters, and keep the million thoroughly
posted up on all the movements OF both parties in
the late political canvass +! While the HERALD is
too modest in claiming merit for its services, General
Scott has estimated them full low enough at two
hundred thousand votes Having himself furnished
SO large portion Of the ammunition which the
HERALD has bred off with such tremendous execu-
tion-the recoil knocking the General himself
into the centre Of the Green Mountains whore there
is neither vittels nor drink" for politicians except
Greeley's Veekiy Ir,bnnc-the General certainly
ought TO know something about the matter. He is
right for once, and the HERALD must knock under
to his superior judgment.
A rumor has been published in some Of the papers,
that General Pierce proposes to change his residence
from this place to Portsmouth, account Of the
health OF Mrs Pierce The report is without founda
ton He will probably remain here until he
goes to Washington. At present he is busily en-
gagged in closing up his professional business His
late Law partner, Ar Mnos, was recently appointed
JuSge Of the Court OF Common Pleas General
PieTces iamiy consists of himself, lady, and son,
the latter about twelve years OF age His brother.
Henry ID. Pierce, and sister, Mira Mcneil, widow Of
the late General John Mcneil, are his nearest sur
viving blood relations They reside at Marlborough
Major Benjamin X. Pierce, OF the army the Oldest
ago. Mrs. Pierce, the Generals lady, was
daughter of the late Pre- sdent Appleton, of Bo rdoin
College She is lady Of much refinement and high
accomplishments For many years her health has
been delicate, on which account, perhaps, she has
excluded herself very generally from society. A
fashionable life has few temptations, and resi-
depce at the White House probably holds forth
fewer attractions to her than almost any other
respect able position ia the United States, however
humble Some newspaper EDITOR has written, that
ahc will go to the nation u mansion " to encounter
. double share OF the care and toll which usually
falls 10 the lot of Preside nts wife Doubted She
has too much philosophy to allow herself to be in
commoocd with single share, even did health per-
NIT her to encounter il. But, with o double share
staring her in the face, venture to predict that tho
White House will not have her company for some
time 10 come.
The New Hampshire Legislature commences its
adjourned session in this town on Wednesday, Nov
II. Hon George W Kittridge, Of New Market, is
Speaker Of the House; and bon John Wells. of
Exeter President Of the Senate; Clerk of the House
Thomas J. Whipple, and Of the Senate w. l. Eos
ter, Esq The three last gentlemen have acquired
some noioriety by stumpng it for General Pierce in
tie MIDDLE States, pending the late campaign A
U. S Senator is to be chosen in the place OF Hon
John p Hale; and our four Congressional districts
to be remoddled so as to form only three under
the new appoItionment The Maine Liquor law will
agsin be revived and defeated 1t was submitted
to the people last june by resolution Of the Sen ate,
to be voted on at the late election. Some Of the
ultra temperance men refused to recognize the
Senate authority thus to submit it, and did not vote
The returns far received two to against
the enactment Of the law. Among the candidates
for U S. Senator are Mr.. Wells, General Peaslee,
Mr. Hibbard (the two last now in the 10 yer branch
Of Copgress,) and Mr.. G. q. Anterior They are
all able men, and well qualified to fill the station
1t is pity that three OF the four cannot be elected.
Mr. John p. Hale has returned home from his un-
successful mission out West to help Seward and
Greeley elect General Scott. The mission did not
pay, politically, and it is very doubtful even
whether the Wing Central Committee have funds
enough left to cover travelling expenses. Mr.. Hale
is likely to of but poorly He is about to take
trip up Salt river in the bows of the craft
which carries General Scott. When the popular
vote is all returned, it will be found that Hales
party has lost more than fifty per cent since 1913
Lans Dec, There is not enough Of either Sc ward
ism, or Haleism, or Greeleyism rescued from the
ruins cused by the late political tornado to shorten
a decent sized loaf of free soil bread. The party
bids fair to starve out Who will 70 galvanze o
little life into it preparatory to the campaign Of
1856!
