"YoUSG Hickory" The admiring organs Of
Gen. Pierce continue to bestow this aflectionate
title upon their fayorite hero. 1t must be pecu-
liarly pleasing aPpellalicn to Mr.. Martin Van Bu-
rem. 1t must revive in his mind sweet reminis-
esnces of the halcyon days when Old Hickory
lowered up in his glory to the Heavens, and when
Van Buren,, like parastical plant, raised his head
on high, by clingiug to the mighty tree. Ever
since the downfall of that majestic monarch of the
forest, Van Buren, has been lying prone upon the
earth, and well may he now rejoice that Young
Hickory has been planted in his neighborhood.-
Already has he put out his feolers, and given in
dications that he intends to climb to his former ell
ovation.
The Democrats object to Scott that he will be
under tho control Of Seward. But the conditioned
Pierce will be still worse. Old Hickory was in
