PEEHCES INTERFERENCE.

u" The following extract from an article
in tie Portland haquirer, a paper published
within 70 miles of Pierces home; is probably
the iairest and truest exposition of the case
which has been published.
GAS the Argus has directed US to ask the peo-
pie OF Concord about this matter, we now state
what the most candid, impartial christian men
sad to us. They affirm that his drinking sprees
are notorious, that such is his universal rcputa-
ton, and that no man there denies if-not even
the Patriot, his organ. His friends cover the
matter as well as they can, and ministers and
other good men are not likely 10 be personal
Witnesses of such facts. We were told of sew
eral cases of gross drnnkness. On public oc-
casions like railroad meetings, and at courts.
his drinking is notorious, AMI business has Of
ten to be put off on account Of it, lie is not
continually intoxicated, but has not the power
OF seltcontrol in the presence of temptation
1t Is TO his credit that he has tried to break off,
but has been with no permanent success, Some
IL years ago it was hoped Washngtonianism
would save him, and it had temporary effect
1t was at this time that some young men cifer-
ed to Join the Sabbath School if they could have
Pierce for their teacher This was agreed to
and ne attended short time, but ever since he
would be looked for in the gambling room much
sooner than in the Sabbath School.
Those who know much of New Hampshire
politics, know that his conduct was such at
Washington while Representative, that Isaac
Hill, though friend, resisted his being chosen
Senator, and the election was deferred TO an
adjourned session, when it was secured by pr-
vate certificates such as he now relies on to
make him President. He, however soon resign
ed through the entreaties of his wife and
friends. This laid the foundation of permanent
quarrel between Pierce and Hill.
But we have no more room than TO say
/. The reputation of Gen. Pierce in y. II.
no temperance is bad. This is legal evidence.
>. His friends and supporters do not attempt
there to deny it.
8. We have called on his special organ, the
Patriot, to say whether our statements on this
matter is true and it declines to answer.
4. His vindications and certificates sent out
from there have all been exposed and denied as
soon as thew returned.
Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1850-1854, 1852-10-22

5. We have the positive testimony of the
most unquestionable character that Pierce has
been seen drunk within about year. and we Of
fer the name in this city to any democratic pa
per that will publish it. But they dare no accept
the offer. They know the charge is true -
TheArgus knows it, and its declarations are
but so mnch wind. We will do our duty to socie-
ty on this subject, and if the executive power
of this nation is to be placed in the trembling
hands of drunkard, our skirts shall be clear.

GEORGIA LAND OFFICE CIRCULAR.

I'VE respectfully announce to the owners OF land
w in the State of Georgia. that we have opened an
Office in this city, for the transaction CT General Land
Business. Both of US have been, for several years,
engaged in the business, and familiar with titles
and qualities OF land in the various parts OF the State
Our whole time will be devoted exclusively to the bu-
siness, and VIC will SELL commission, any lands thai
may be entrusted to care, or purchase Tor lndIFd
uals, lands that may be wanted by them IN diileien
parts OF the State One of the partners will be con-
nualy travelling in various sections of the State for
the purpose of examining and selling lands.
Much time has been occupied and expense incurred
by US, finding out the of uncultivated lands
in the State by the county records advertisements
tax books and other All the names of
ers thus far ascerained have been recorded opposite
the number of the lands they in the various
y district books keptin our office The records still
efficient, owing in part to the fact that many of
county receivers have returned lands owned by in
dvGuas, without giving the number of the lots the
districts in which they situated
We therefore respectfully ask of those persons
whose numbers are not entered on the tax books To
send us, by mall list of them. The object ofwhich
request, is to know where to find the owners when
application is made for us to purchase them. We al
ready have on file, the numbers of many lots to be
purchased, the of which, as vet, are unknown.
There are many scattered lots in varions parts of
the State, and in the lower counties some bodies of
land, for which there no apparent claimants
Some of these owned by the drawers their
heirs, who have removed into Florida. Alabama Mis-
sissipp Texas and other States, or sold and
ed by nonresidents of Georgia.
We offer services TO all persons in this and in
other States, who own Georgia lands, and we will
promptly give them any information they desire, rel
alive to their lands, and the disturbed undisturbed
validity of their titles. MORE g. EDWARDS.

Tribute of Respect.

At regular meeting of MONTGOMERY LODGE No. 6,
l. o. o. F., the following preamble and resolutions
unanimously passed. and ordered to be published
in the papers of the city;
This Lodge is again called to mingle its sympathles
with the children of sorrow, and bewai the nroads
that death has made upon the fraternal band On the
2lst of this month"; taken from our midst, in
ly manhood, in the sprng-tme of life and usefulness,
our esteemed brother, JOSEPH S. BAKER, man
loved for his many excellent qualities and regretted
because of his premature death. This fraternity has
lost an inestimable fellowworker Green be his mem
orv in the heart of the brotherhood and sacred be the
tears that have been shed over his dust The Lodge
mourns but how great the sorrow of the companion
of his life! Suddenly has the darkness of the grave
overshadowed the prospect of life. A widow mourns
for the loved and lost. May Gods peace find its way
into her troubled breast and may the blessings of hui
many rest upon her troubled head 1t is proper that
we give expression to our sympathy
Resolved That it is with unfaigned regret that we
chronicle the death of our highly esteemed brother
Joseph S. Baker with whom, living, we delighted tc
associate, and whom, though he be no longer In ou
midst we remember for the excellent qualities which
endeared him to his brethren.
RESOLVED, That we sincerely sympathise with the
friends and relatives of the deceased, and more esPe
cialy with the bereaved lady who has so suddenly
been called to mourn the departure of him who wai
the of her life the object of her hearts affections
and though we lack words to express the emotion O
our hearts, beg to her that she mourns mo-
alone
ResotUed, That the Secretary be instructed to in
scribe the name, age and time of the decease Of ou
brother upon the records of the Lodge, and also Il
publish these proceedings in the papers of the city
a. the same time transmitting to the family and thu
absent mother of the deceased copy of the same.
RESOLVED That as further testimony of respect WI

Although these works are distinguished by the polit
cal shades above indicated, yet but small portion of
their contents is devoted to political subjects. 1t is
their literary character which gives them their chief
value, and in that they stand confessedy far above all
other journals of their class. Backtcood still under
the atherIy of Christopher North, maintains its
ancient celebrity, and is at this time, unusually at
tractve, from the serial works of Buwer and other
literary notables, written for that magazine, and first
appearing in its columns both in Great Britain and in
the United States. Such works "The Cations and
my New Novel; (both by Bulwer,) "The Green
Hand" "Katie Stewart" and other serials, of which
rival editions issued by the leading pub
fishers in this country, have to be reprinted by those
publishers from the pages of Backwood, after it has
been issued by Messrs. Scott & Co.. so that subscri-
bers to the Reprint of that Magazine may always rely
on having the earliest reading of these fascinating
tales.
