GENERAL PIERCE.

GENERAL PIERCE.
The Democratic press seems to taxi
in high dudgeon all illusions to the OBJ
security Of their candidate for the Presi
dency. They would faiu have us believe
that General Pierce has been universal
ly recognized as one ct the great men OIL
The nation ever sipce his marvellous ex-
ploits as ga distinguished com nander
in the war of 1872" when he was only
lsix years old Perhaps the wings are
at fault for their ignoronce of such a
precoeious commander such a prodigy
of patriotism and valor. But his own
parlzans ought at least TO know his name,
and how to spellit. Such, however, was
not the case when the democratic Balti
mole Convention first announced its cam
didate and some Of the leaders have
hardly found out who he is yet. The
Hartford Courant gives the following
items, as parts of the present biography
Of the "Great Unknown"
The Detroit Free Press, Niles Re-
publican, and Lafa yette Courier, hoist
the name Of Franklin L. Pierce. The
Madison Courier. Bloomington Gazette,
and Franklin Democrat, support Franks
lin II. Pieace: while the Madison Dem
ecrat, Winnebago Times, and Stark Go.
Democrat. go for franklin W. Pierce.
AT Huntington (Lndiana.) the NOM
ination CT George Pierce was hailed with
enthusiasm. At Wooster (Ohio) the
nomination of James 4. Pearce, [whig
U. s. Senator from Maryland,l was rats
fled. The Vincent Sentinel applauds
the selection of Gen. Jo4a Il. Pierce, as
the best that could have been made
while the Minnesota Review bursts out
in ecstacy at the choice of Frank Pierse
Gs the democratic candidate. Hurrah,
then, for the unknown man.
The same ignorance of his actions per-
vaded the democratic press. The Ohio
Statesman made him a leader in the war
Of 1912. The GAINESVILLE Aurora says,
General Pierce was in the war of
1912, and was distinguished and Ia
borious commander, and though wound.
ed, did not retire from the post of duty
and danger. He distinguished himself
as the commander Of the rear guard"
The Portsmouth Daily Dispatch oh,
serves
"We had on oHr table, a short time
since, biographical sketch of Mr. Pierce,
WHICH ye are sorry TO say, from some
cause, is not now to be found. We may
say, however, that he is not so obscure
person az the wings would haye the peo-
pie belieye, His father vas an officer of
the revolution. and be h;nqself ii we are
not mistaken, took command OF General
Plies army. efter that gallant o6Sccr
a0as wounded at the battle Of YORK;"
The following anccdote from the Bur-
lington Free Press is in point
"Soon after the nomination was an
nounced by telegraph. on Saturday, we
encountered an ardent locofoco in the
street, who discoursed somewhat as fol-
lows; General. you are done for -
That tic ket can't be beat. Price is the
man for us. I always thought our folks
would nominate Price," We mildly
suggested that gentleman named Pierce
was the nominee Of lis Party-but he
looked upon It as a 'whig trick. and went
off singing Hurrah for Price :

A NEW FACT IN The BUSHNELL
CASE

An event has rrctn, y occurred which
may give new turn TO ecclesiastical &C
ton in the case of the Rev. Dr.. Bushnell.
1t is known chat his Association have
hitherto refused to present him 10 the
Consolation ON charge Of hetesy, in
which they should be- the prosecutors.
The action of the late General AssocIa.
zion made it probable that his opPosers
would feel necessitalcd to drop their
former tactics, and would themselves
table charges against him, in which case
a trial seemed probable. This probabll-
ny produced a strong feeling in DR..
Bushnell's church, they knowing that a
more Unfair and predicts mined tribunal
could hardly be- selected for his Judges,
After much private casual conference,
meeting of the chuch was notified at
The request Of leading men, which was
held last Sabbath evening and was very
fully attended. After full discussion,
unanimous vote OF all p.esen,, males
and females, was taken, TO withdraw
from the Cunsociation. This leaves Dr..
Bushnell amcnabc only to his chu' Gil
and to his Association, MS is the case with
all the New Haven ministers and many
Others in this State, and with all the
ministers in the other New England
States and indeed wherever Congrega,
tionalisnl exists out Of Connecticut.

The Future Of the Democratic
Partv

The Washington Union, in reply to the
Wing journals which affect to believe that
the Democratic party cannot long survive its
late triumph, but must sink under the pres
sure ofits own weight, and fall from the very
unwieIdin2ss Of its bulk, discourses upon the
future oIthe Democratic party as follows:
"They argue from a false analogy who
suppose that the Democratic party can die
Success and defeat are equally fatal to the
Wing party, because it has no genuine vi
taIity, and is animated and sustained by nc
living principle. A djusted only to an acct
dental eXigency, based upon Il temporary
combination OF circumstances, and feeding
upon leeting breath of expediercy, it falls
when its artificial support is Withdrawn, and
expires, like an exposed product of the hot
house, from the FIRST chilling blast of adver-
sity. Not SO with the Democratic party
The foundation ofits power is laid broad and
deep. Its built upon eternal truth, Though
crushed to the earth will rise again"
"Analyze the creed ofthe Wing party, and
it will be found to consist Of batch of fall
%Iacies which PHILOSOPHY and experience e
qually condemn; as, for instance, its nation
al bank and its protective tariff. Its meas
ures have sprung from no well-establishcd
and consistent policy, and have contempla-
ted no definite and lasting benefit, they have
been the creatures of chance, the produce of
unwise and narrow legislation, and the in
struments Of only partial good or ofunmiti
gated evil. In short the whole theory of
Wing politics is wrong having its origin in
no enlarged regard for the public veal, IN
supported by the teachings of philosophy, at
variance with the genius Of our government,
and the character of our people, and but i'll
adap ted to develope the magnificent destiny
of our country; and therefore has it been con-
demned and repudiated by the people. Tn:
very reverse Of this may be predicted of the
policy of Democratic party. 1t contcm-
plates not the interest of a class, but the good
of the entire people. Its principles are the
deductions OF reason and the lessons of po-
litical philosophy, confirmed by actual ex-
penence. Its measures are all in perfect
harmony with the spirit of the constitution,
the aspirations Of the people, and the ten
dency of American destiny. And this is the
source of the strength and power of the Dem
ocratic party--its being based upon immu-
table principles and its adoption to the coun-
try and the age. 1t is expansive and pro-
g~ressive, and never too narrow for the widen
ing stream of American development, nor
too shallow to keep pace with the advancing
spirit of the times. The principles of Demo
cracy never grow "obsoletc,' so that if by
any casualty the present organization of the
Democratic party were to be broken up,
and its name be abandoned, yet would It's
principles and its spirit survive to be, as they
have ever been, the blessing and glory Of
the country"

Cadiz Post Office.

Richard, in his last paper, tries to feed Mr.,
Knox, the Postmaster in Cadiz, with the
idea hat he will not get removed from his
office, because Frank Pierce once made a
speech, in which he showed up wing incon-
sisteney in relation to this matter of remov-
ais from office. 1t would be foolish in Mr..
Knox, and we know that he has too much
good sense to expect any fayors from a
Democratic administration.
Nothing would please the leaders of the
wing party in Cadiz better, than to sec a
quarrel among u democratic friends about
the Post Office. In this they will be dISap-
pointed, for no democrat who is a candidate
for the Post Office III this place, will act in
any other way, than that which becomes all
good democrats on such occasions. If any
one of them would, we should be sorry to
see the least countcnancc shown to him by
the democracy of this vicinity. But all OF
the candidates are good, honorable demo-
Gratis, and will act in regard to this matter,
in that way and manner which becomes all
Democrats who have the welfare and inter
est of the party al stake.
While writing about the Post Office, we
might remark at this time, that we are I'M
der many obligations to some Of the Post
Masters in this county for the many favors
they have shown to us, and for the gentle
manly manner in which they have delivered
our paper to u subscribers. Among these
we might name, MIR. Knox, the Cadiz Pos.
Master; Mr.. Watson, Of Short Creek; Mr.
Atkinson, of Cassvillo; Mr.. Wood, of Moore
field, and others whose names we have for
gotten. We regret that they are not Dem
ocrats. If they were they would be saved
the trouble of being removed from their Off
cial stations. But they will not complain,
because there is too much of the gentlemen
about them to be caught at any such small
work.
