FRANKLIN PiERcE ASSISTING THE FEDER-
AL LAwYERs TO DEFEAT ANDREW JACKSON.
The Democracy" of Franklin Pierce Is
not very ancient. He started in life a
"Federalist," and used his influence against
the Democracy and Andrew JacksOnH'-
Our authority for this startling piece Of in
telligence, is Isaac Hill, the old Ajax Of
New Hampshire Democracy. The follow
ing paragraph is taken by the Hartford
Courant from the New Hampshire Patriot,
of ls4s, of which Isaac Hill was the edi-
tor
Frank Pierce commenced law business
about the year 1926, and boarded with his
father in Hillsborough. In that year he
made the old gentleman so far non-commt-
tai that his namewas then used as dscoun-
tenancing the Senior editor of the Patriot
in his Opposition 70 John q. Adams; he
belped and assisted the federal lawyers OF
that day to call out the strength of his ia
theirs name against Andrew Jackson; and
it was not until the close OF the year 1897,
that the sterling old patriot broke away from
the perncous influence Of his dangerous
son."
This item in Pierce's life is not given in
his recently published Biography. 1t should
be copied into the next edition; for it Is on
ly proper that the democracy should Know
that in supporting Pierce they are support

federal lawyers" of New Hampshire to de-

A PRAcrIcAL ALLY OF GREAT BRITAIN
The London Times says:
"The primary question for the United
States in this election, Os it is for ourselves
in the electoral contest of this week, is the
national sanction and inviolable establish
ment of the principles OF free trade. For
though no countryis more interested in thI
adoption and extension of those principles
than the American Union, the fight has hith
erto been carried on against the avowed
pinions Of the executive government. Mr.
Fillmore's messages and Mr.. 'Corwin's re
ports have continued to avow projections
: doctrines worthy to rank with Lord CRANKY
political economy, and Mr.. G. F. Young
statistics; and the country has only escape
the imposition of more restrictive duties b
the fact that the present American Govern
ment has never possessed a majority on thes
= questions in the House Of Representatives
The triumph of the candidate of the Demo
cratic party, brought forward by the men {
the South, will secure, probably for ever, tn
ascension OF liberal commercial principles
and if Lord Derby should next year be di'
posed to take the American tariff for h
model, we have little doubt that it will serv
to remove the last illusions ofthe protectiv
D system from his mind. In this respect, and Q
this point, tce take Gen. Pierce TO be fair rel
reSentatiUe Of Mr.. Calhoun, and, as such, a "a
: liable practical ally to the commercial policy
I this country.
Upon this the Ohio State Journal r.
marks: .
SHOW let the American citizen read tn,
e concluding sentence, and blush for his coul
Il try, when he reflects that we have SO man
!. people here who greedily espouse the Bri
ish policy, and insist on our govcrnmel
playing into their hands. Mr.. Pierce
l. nominated by the South. Heis fair re
!, resentative of the opinions of Mr.. Culhou
= and asSuch, a VALUABLE PRACTICAL ALLY
% tic Commercial policy Of Great Britain"!-
l. What u blessed, glorious privilege! Wh6
we were colonies. snd when England lcgi
IS lated for us, it took precisely the same view
y of our course it does now. Then they pr
n hibted even the making Of hob nail
8 Then we were truly practical allies OF Il
n commercial policy of England. We've
n subscryient to rome but the British Lord
o. and the Times Aatters itself that if the !
e merican people will only be kind and cond
% scending enough to elect Pierce, and retu
;. to the old platform as they had it then, al
>. Pierce g. Co. want 1t now, why all will
:. right. This is British advice. This is The
e policy. With Gen. Jackson, we think it
e high time we had become little more Anne
