The organ of the temperance reform. (Cincinnati, O. [Ohio]) 1852-1853, 1852-06-11
Morals at Washington

Every body is aware of the proaigacy
prevalent at the seat Of the General
Government. The severe virtue that pre-
vailed in the assembly, that pledged their
lives, fortunes and sacred honor to main
tain the Declaration Of Independence, is
no longer expected. Many an elder OF
the church, has there learned to desc.
crate that Sabbath, the observance oI
which lie had formerly so rigidly exacted.
And it might sorrowiully be added, il
were we'll if his degeneracy extended nc
farther. Nevertheless, it has always been
supposed that a remnant could be found
even there, who maintained, in a good
degree, the purer morals Of purer age
and among that remnant we had always
supposed was TO be found the distin.
guished Senator from New York, who is
the principal subject of the following
paragraph:
Mr.. Marshall, of Kentucky, who had
seeded from the Whig Congressional
Convention, on its refusal to act on the
Compromise Resolution, was alluded to,
as being associated with Mr.. Seward, ot
New York, in the discussion of a "glass
Of grog," at late hour after his with.
drawal. He thus explains the apparent
inconsistency: "Every gentleman pos
sessesth right, believe, without araign.
ment, toregulate his social walks and con.
verSation, and exercise that right to sui
my own taste. I suppose this passage
was produced to show to the country, tha

Hon. Edward A. Hannegan.

The facts as to the killing of his bro
ther-in-law, Capt. Duncan, by Mr. Han
negan, are already widely known. Mr..
Hannegan had been a member of the
Legislature, both Houses OF Congress,
Ambassador to Prussia, and might have
been honored and useful in every relation
of life, but for his fearful devotion to Lii
quor, which has long rendered him ter
ror and disgrace to his friends, and has at
length probably led him to a felon's
doom. John Wentworth, who served
with him in Congress, thus comments on
his case in his Chicago Democrat;
"Every man who has seen Mr.. Han
negan when under the influence of liquor,
as we have, can believe the above. And
every one who has seen him and lived
at the same house with him and his fam
lily, as we have, when lie has been
total abstinence man for months together,
will indeed pity him. When sober, he
is as pure, as upright, as kind and as
generous man as there is in this coun-
try. With him, there can be no middle
state. He is brute when drunk. When
sober, he will compare in all the elements
of goodness with any man living. But
he cannot drink without getting drunk.
"Mr. Hannegan entered the lower House
Of Congress many years ago, perfectly
temperate man; and, in point of talents,
integrity and popularity, his prospects
were as hatteTing as those OF any young
man in the United States. But Wash
ington fashions and habits were too
much for him. Dissipation drove him to
private life. He reformed, became a
temperance lecturer and an exemplary
member of the Church. His exhortations
in times of great reViVals are said to have
equaIed those of the most eloquent di-
vines living. At length his old habits
were forgotten and he was sent to the
Senate. He took his seat an exemplary
Son of Temperance and Christian. But,
again, the temptations were too great
for him. His struggles with himself
were gigantic, and the assistance of
one of natures noblest Of women, his
wife, secured for him the sympathies of
everybody. But he would have his
sprees, and he lost his reelection. Like
most politicians, he left office miserably
poor. At the close of his term, and Of
Mr., Polk's administration, to keep so
popular and so good man from despair
and ruin, although il came out of General
Taylor's term, the Senators unanimously,
Wings and Democrats, signed call for
Mr.. Polk to send him to Russia, and he
was appointed to that mission. His un.
fortunate career there is well known.
Since his return, we have heard nothing
of him until this melancholy affair.
We have seen many a young man en-
ter Congress perfectly temperate, and
leave it totally ruined; but we never
knew one who had 80 many efforts to
save him, 50 Intellectually, as Mr.. Han.
negan. We now have in our mind three
in our own term who killed Themselves.
Mr.. Hannegan has tried to do 50 several
! times but he lived to kill his wife's

Baltimore Convention.

We have received the proceedings Of
this body. Hon. John w. Davis, of In.
diana, was chosen TO preside over its
deliberations. On the third day the Con-
ven'ion proceeded 70 ballot for candi-
dates for President and Vice President
49th BALLOT Gen. Franklin D. PIERCE,
of New Hampshire, received 2s2 votes
necessary for choice, 1872. Mr.. Pierce
was declared duly nominated. WIN. R.
KING, of Alabama, was then nominated
for Vice President.
As many of our readers will be anxious
to know who Gen. pIERcE is, we insert
the following brief sketch from one of our
exchanges:
In 1888 he was elected to the House
OF Representatives in Congress. which
position he retained four years. In 1897
ne was elected U. 5. Senator from New
Hampshire. He remained in the Stnate
during his term, and in 1S43 was sinner.
seded by CHARLES q. ATHERToN. who
became famous as the author of the gag
rule in the House. Mr.. PIERCE then
went into a state of retiracy, from which
he emerged in 1847. Upon the passaOe
OF the ten regiment bill through Congress,
Polk appointed Mr.. PIERCE one Of bis
Brigadier- At the same time
Generals Pillow and QU1TMAN were nro-
NOTED from Brgadier to Major Generals.
and Messrs. CADwALLADER and HOPPING
were created Brigadiers.
"Gen. PIERCE started with a body oF
25OO troops, from Vera Cruz, on the 10Th
OF July, 1S47, to join Gen. ScorT. who was
then at Puebla. On the 9th of August
ne joined the main army, without en-.
counleIlng any special dangers. On the
18Th OF August, he was thrown from
his horse, and severely injured. This
disabled him so much, that he was not
able to do active service during the re-
malnder OF that magnificent campaiou
he was one OF the Commissioners an
pointed by SCOTT, to negotiate with SANTA
ANNA, but nothing was effected at that
time. From thence we lose trace of him
ulllast winter, when the New Hampshire
State Convention rendered to him their
support as a candidate for President
This he declined. We know nothing of
his personal character
We do not look upon him as profound
statesman. His talents are only ordinary.
OF WILLIAM R. KING, we need hardly say
a word, as he has been in public life
since 1Sl9-and now fills the seat vacated
by Mr.. FILLMORE, on the death of Gen.
TAYLOR. He ranks high as a gentleman
and a scholar. His political principles
are not to be admired so much as his
personal qualifications.
The ticket is fair one, and is Just the
ticket with all good Democrats, now tina
the contest is decided. Alas for poor
Cass
The Whig Convention meets at the
same place, on the 10Th inst. From pre-
sent indications, Gen. SCoTT will be the
nominee Of that party.

sellers and drinkers, that some of the

FIDELITY.

Never forsake friend. When g
emies gather around, when sickne
falls on the heart, when the world
dark and cheerless, is the time to tn
true friendship. The heart that ha|
been touched will redouble its effort
when the friend is sad or in trouble
Adversely tries true friendship. Thej
who turn from the scene of distres
betray their hypocrisy, and prove tha
interest only moves them. If yol
have q friend who loves you. who haI
studied your interest and happiness
be sure you sustain him in adversely
Let him feel that bis former kindnes,
is appreciated, that his love is no
thrown away. Real fidelity may b,

THE Puzzled Drorer.-The " heel
ing .1ayaS tells the following anecdote /:
A gentleman who has been driving
horses for twenty years or more, from
the west to our eastern market, came
into town with drove of fine horses,
a part of which were lost on the sink
ing of the unfortunate New York, on
the 24th ult. He drove his animals to
the livery stable here, and on count
ing them missed one of the number
He counted again, found he was the
loser, and rode hustily down to the
boat, but no intelligence could be OBJ
tained there Of the lost horse. He
rode back to the stables, offered re-
ward for the missing beast, and almost
gave up in despair of recovering it
But he soon dismounted the horse he
was riding--counted again--and 10
the number was correct. He declares
he viii never look for the lost critter
again until he takes a circumspective
view of the one under his saddle.
