conjunction with the Southern Mr.. King
No prophet on earth, not even one single
German bunker newspaper, had ever thoIght
of the obscure Mr.. Pierce, who wns scarcely
known out of his own family circle. YET, no
sooner is this Mr.. Pierce put forward rs the
canddite, tlleiI, as it by magic, he ut one
blow becotles Que OF the great ones of the
earth--fills large spnce IN all true "dsuu-
cratic" hearts, and the depth aud purity of
tlleir love for him becone boundl -ss. In
Germany, they call this sort of thing servilty,
want of principle, lunacy, sc. H. America,
il is fidelity to party. Aud ifihe Convention
Of llumhuggers had nominated the Emperor
Suulouque, or King Guizo of Dahony, ns
their canditlate, every real Democrat would
have been bound from that moment TO love
him as the father OF his country. Ouly let a
President he secured safe on the points uf

As head OF II family, ETC., General Pierce

ever Is more importance than all else, that

Ative of" Southern Rights" or u cvpler be-
fore which the shareholders may place such
integers ms they please. South CarUliua has
not granted her appreciation even to Fill

But let him who is in doubt what il to he
expected under the Presidency of Pierce,
let him rrnd the uneXnmpled Platform which,
alter his nomination, was promulgated US the
fundamental principles OF lhr "ParIy."
This, gentlemen, cotmpreheads within itself
the harshrst sentence which was ever passed
upon the Democratic party. IL is the ban of
all freedom, an attack upon all human right,
sentence of humiliation against all Demo
crary. Such language il not republican, il
Is Russian. The consequences of this act,
should the present so called Democracy come
into power, can he no other than restraint of

Whoever raises his voice against the most
nrctrsed institution in the word, against an
institution which, not tO mention its own oh

innnIly, ANA renders all progress impossible,
he Is from this nDnent put under the han OF
the North American Democracy; slHniped as
a criminal, and denounced to the mob. In
New York, already, u year ago, the Demo-
crary carried matters with so high hand
that the Ami Slavery Society was forced TO
hold It's peaceful assembly without the city,

Democracy. From this time forth, gentle
men, the question will he upon victories ofa
totally different nature. The Shareholders
have now openly III their platform stamped

their tyranny, aud their hOd carriers will look

Should conflicts arise, il will he said the guilt

sophisry, the Slave-catching law

little farther To prove that n new law of high
treason, or one restraining tie Press, is ne
