FRANKLIN PIERCE, the Democratic
nominee for President, is a New
Hampshire lawyer. He was in the
lower House Of Congress from 1884
to 1888, where he was noted for his
party attachment rather than any
qualities which give dignity and
character to the position. The same
may be said Of him while in the Sem
a:e from 1888 TO lS43. During the
Mexican war he was appointed by
President Polk, one OF the extra
Generals in connection with new
regiments which were raised fol that
service. Since the close of that war,
he has held no public position. The
nominee for Vice President, Mr..
KING, of Alabama, is at present Pres
ident os the U. S. Senate, having
been elected 10 that post on Mr.. Fill
more's accession TO the Presidency
by reason of Gen. Taylor's death.
As a statesman Mr.. King is full head
and shoulders above Pierce--the
weakest man ahead. So the same
party attempted in 1874 when Mr..
Wright, Of N. Y, was nominated for
Vice President on the ticket with
Mr.. Polk, but Mr.. w. declined to
take the position. The truth is Mr..
Pierce was considered while in Con-
gress and in the army far from an
able man.

An auction Of Dry goods has been
going on most OF the last week in
Maxon's new building, where, accor-
ding to the auctioneer's statements,
"bargains" were TO be had. Itseems
to US that those desiring dry goods
had better patronize our merchants,
where the quality OF the article at
least will correspond with the price.
To decide upon the cheapness Of an
article, the quality must be first con-
sidered. We presume our mer-
chants will sell any thing offered at
this travelling auction shop,on terms
as satisfactory as they can be
brought here and sold by those who
will take the money out Of the place.

more, June lst., at twelve O'clock
noon.
The Convention was called to

John w. Davis, OF Indiana, was
selected for President of the Conven-
tion. Lieut.. Gov. MediIl, of this
State, was one of the Vice Presidents.
The two-thirds rule was adopted.
All the second day was taken up in
talking about making platforms. the
conflicting claims of delegates to
seats. &c. Among other claimants
for seats was Gen. Commander, OF
S. G., but the Convention decided
that he had no rights there, so South
Carolina was not represented. On
the third day the Convention pro-
ceeded TO ballot for a candidate for
President, without first making a
platform. On the first ballot Cass
received lie, Buchanan SO, Doug
las 20, Marcy 81, Butler 2 Qrom
Ohio), Houston s, Lane Is, Dodge
3, Weller A (from California;, Dickin.
son |. Under the two thirds rule

The Ohio vote was cast l6 for Cass,
9 for Douglass and 2 for Houston.
There was seventeen ballots during
the day, towards the last Cass' vote
gradually fell 10 SO, and Douglas
run up to so; Buchanan about the
same as above. On the fourth day
the first vote stood a1out as the last
Of the day previous, then Cass
gradually fell off till on the 29lh bal
lot he received only 81, and Douglas
went up 10 90; Buchanan's highest
vote being l04, the balance was d.
vided between the other candidates
named above.
The Indiana delegation, who here
tOfore went for Lane, voted Is on
the 3lst ballot for Cass. The Cass
stock at once went up, and the last
ballot on Friday stood Cass, l23;
Buchanan, p: Douglas, 60; Marcy.
25; Butler, L; Houston, 6; Dickin>
son, l.
The first ballot on Saturday diff
fered not materially from the above
except Virginia cast her fifteen votes
for Dickinson. On the next ballot,
the 35th, Virginia cast her votes for
Pierce, which was the first time he
received any votes. Cass, Buchanan
and Douglas stock declined, Cass
run down to IS, Buchanan %,
Douglas 80, Marcy went to SO and
Pierce to Al, on the 46th ballot; the
next two ballots very similar to the
last. The 49th ballot stood Pierce,
2S2; Cass, 2; Douglas, 2; Butler, L;
Houston, l-Ohio giving the 6 Scat
tering Votes.
On the 2nd ballot King. of Ala,
