The Charleston Standard. 60 Operations paper, has
the following:
The No of The Democratic Pdry.-Our des-
match announces The nomination OF Gen. F. Pierce,
OF New. Hampshire as the Democratic candidate for
President of the United States This result little
expected and yet it evidently brought about BY
the Southern vote, and is marked compliment TO the
conservative and Constitution abiding spirit of the old
granite State We predict that Gen. Pierce will make
strong rum and Gen. Scott, if he be the Wing can
ddate will be beaten badly. Gen. Pierce has written
no letters. has never been agi,aor, and has po
litical sins to answer for So far now re-
member there is no act of his life, which shows in
him. any disposition TO interfere with the constitution
al rights of any of the Sates.'

quoting from regular Democratic party papers. the
Augusta Consiiiu,onast being the only old line organ
from which we have made even an extract BY the
Democratic press the nominations have been received
with unfeigned and general enthusiasm But we
know that many of our readers of the Wing party
would regard Democratic authority with suspicion
and we wish TO place record the candid acknow-
Judgments of neutral. unfriendly, presses. Now,
no charges can be brought against Gen Pefce-hut
we fear that the spirit of party may trump
up something before November next, and we would
then ask that these calm and candid acknowledgements
wrung from the Justice of neutrals or opponents, may
| be remembered
