to relate in the hearing and presence Of such devoted

BILE and sound upon the southern question any man
i know; and infinitely more worthy. in my opinion,
OF the confidence of the South than many OF his
mouthing revilers in this State, and this city and
its vcinage. He made no slavoring professions OF
devotion 10 the Soulh, or fondness for slavery. If
he had done so, should not have believed him, and, OF
course, not respected him. any than do the
make favor with the North. Gen. Pierce did what was
far worthy Of hun, and acceptable 10 u.s. he did
justice 10 the South, aud defends her constitutional rights
merely because they her rights but because they
rights under the Union, guaranteed by the constitution,
and are thus far, rights of the North well as OF the
South which be DESTROYED without DESTROYING the
common charter that secures the rights OF the North as
well az those OF the South without breaking down the
legal barrier which protects ALL and destroying the
bond which now holds in happy union. i was not
merely pleased was charmed with Gen. Pierce; and

honor, and patriotism, aud in his determination 10 protect
