CATION oE Virginia stood by Gen. Pierce AS their
,e second choice when fully impressed with the
impossbity Of obtaining the nominaion Of
. their first choice and how Gen. Pierce evenlu-
ally received the nomination Of the Convention
The nominstion is thoroughly national one -
The friends OF zen. Cass, prefer aim to ell 9TH

Gen. Pierce il is earnestly believed will unite
n the democratic party Of the country more folly
than any other candidate
: We agree with the Washington Union tha,
the d nocracy throughout the hand will be- reused
and united by the joyful intelligence, that their
Nafionai Convention has named franklin Pierce
of New HAMPSHIRE for President. aud William
II King OF New Hampshire, for Vice President

nomination of Gen. Pierce will he hailed by the
Democracy with one spontaneous accaniation Of
enthusiasm throughout the length and breadth of
the land, wegive but an inadequate Interpretation
OF the Immense and ressiless unanimi,Y testified
by the Convention in the esiraordinary vote
which presented him 10 the people as the repre-
sentative Of Democratic principles, and the cho~

Of their fidelity TO The man, whom circumstances
had first commended to their respective prefer

moment questioned the assembled Democracy,
as i with consent, turned its eye to Gen. Pierce
as the only man who could this time unite in

rest OF the whole Union. In such a result at
this time the Country will recognize. with full con

which by the nomination of the lamenied Polk,
gave to the Democracy 4 most victorious canvass
and 10 the people assuredIy one of the most pow
erful, energetic and splendid administrations,
which have yet adorned our annals The sri-

nomination of Gen. Pierce the cunv ,niion have
given 70 tie Democracy whom they lcpresent an
absolute assurance Of glorious victory in the
coming campaign. The Democratic party Of The ,
North and South, Of lhe East and West will sup.
port him as one m,n. tits difficult 10 say which
section Of the party will most readily and cor

in it more of the elements Of irresistible SUCCESS
