SOUTHERN SUPPORTERS. The Savannah Re-
publican has telling article on Pierces poll
teal antecedents, and after quoting from The
uucontradicted records some Of his sayings

How many men have been denounced to a
damnation beneath resurrection, for senti-
menis and acts not half as ultra as the above,
within the last ten, twelve and eighteen
months, by the very men who now hail MIR.
Pierce as the embodiment Of all that is sound!
Last year and the year before, their presses
and speeches teemed with denunciations OF
the whole Northern people as "onlon-eatlng
Yankees" ""puaderers" and "aboltionsts." =
Now thew are the first TO take them to their

turn ont n second edition ofa "Northern man

the market had been fully supplied by the

the unprejudiccd reader will agree with us
that there is in The past life and present as

s5y"It is a curious and amusing fact, that,
while all the Gen. Pierce editors are trying
to excite prejudice against Gen. Scott because
he declared himself willing eleven years ago
for the annexation of Canada, there are none
of them, no not one, that will deny being in
favor of the same measure. Would anybo-
dy expect an objection to Gen. SCOTS an
nexation letter to come from party, which,
according to its great champions, Cass and
Douglas, and according to IFS chief organ, the
Democratic Review, insists that Canada, Cuba,
the islands of the gulf and seas, and the gulf
and seas themselves, and all territory and a
good deal of the water, North, South, East
and West, shall be engulphed in the wild
whirlpool of Locofoco absorption?

The Independent narrates the following
incident illustrating the mistakes that will
sometimes happen, even among the best
regulated Spirit-rappers:
"Now and then, though. rather awkward
mistakes are made, considering that the in
formation comes direct from the Spirit-land.
Such an one was mentioned to us day or
two since. A gentleman was few weeks
ago intcrrogating the invisible author of GER
tain raps rs TO the disease of which he (the
rapper) died. With considerable natural
difficulty and delay, the reply was spelled out,
Consumption" The questioner looked Il
little dissatisfied; and physician in the com
pany, who was Jealous in the faith, hastened
Immediately to explain that there are yaric-
ty Of forms of disease, either of which may
well enough come under the general name
Consumption. "That's all very WELL" said
the qucstoner; shut it hardly applies to this
case, for the man he Processes to be r0S bio1cn

indignant to make any further revelations to

A letter from San Francisco says: Last
Sunday at church, | observed fact that
serves to illustrate, to some extent, the habits
of the people here. Observing that almost
every lady in the church wore silk dress, l
stationed myself at the door, when the con-
gregation was dismissed, sid counted them.
There were fifty-two ladies' present, and all of
them except three, were dressed in silk or
satin. But this by no means affords any evil
denco of extravaganza, as silks or satns are
really the cheapest articles for ladies' dresses
in this market; and as natural consequence,
the ladies' dress more richly here than in most
cities.

says:
"The question is frequently asked us, Does
Mr.. Webster sanction these movements 3
Does he approve this use of his name, which
can result only in beneftting the common
enemy, and to his own injury? We can only
say in answer, that while, of course, we are
not authorized and cannot be expected to
speak in his name, we have the assurances of
gentlemen high in his confidence, and un-
doubted in their personal attachment that
Mr. Webster does not sanction or approve
these movements, and that he is only await
ing the proper time to come forward himself

IocoFoco JUGGLING. The doctrine of in
ternal improvements is very popular up in the
North, and so the Cleveland Plaindcaer, one
of the most violent Of the Locoloco organs,
talks after this fashion:
The Whirs, who have been clustering and
living about Democracy and rivers and harbors
so long, have their game blocked now. A
Democratic House of Representatives has
passed, by large majority, bill making Il
series of judcious appropriations.
The doctrine of internal improvements is
very unpopular amongt the Democracy of the
South, and so the Richmond Examiner
speaking of the bill now pending in Congress-
talks after this fashion:
It is the first of the sort that has been
passed for long time, and twill be the last for
Ifaur wears at least Franklin Pierce will come
into power on the 4th of next March. STREET
cot,struction and respect for the Constitution
is The Medean law of the Democratic party
and Mr.. Pierce, besides that general reason IS
bound by every idea of consistency, ana Oy
avery fact of his past career, to veto every
bin like this. He will do it, it they are pre-
scnted TO him, lust so surely as there is a sun
in the sky. :,
All the Northern Democratic organs talk
like the Cleveland Plaindealer, and all the
Southern Democratic organs talk like the
Richmond Examiner, while the whole Demo-
crocy. North and South alike, swear by the
internal Improvement resolution of the Baltii
