We understand that the Hon. John Hen

Senator from this State, delivered an ad-
dress, at the ratification meeting held at
jackson, last Saturday evening. In the
course of his speech he said, that Gen. Pierce
was in the Senate at the same time with him.

correct estimate Of the man. lie said, that
Gen. Pierce was an accomplished gentleman,
fine scholur, an able lawyer, and the sound
est man on the slavery question he was &C
quainted with, north If tue Potomac. This
il high praise indeed, and emanates from 4
high source. John Henderson is man Of
eminent ability himself, and not likely tc
place false estimate upon the talents and
character Of others. His endorsement d

Others who had been drawn to the palace by
a conformity Of sentiment, and participation
in misfortune, courticrs, magistrates, trades
men, peers and deputies, all keeping watch
with sword or heart over the sovereign Of
their hopes and their remembrance, spread
themselves in state Of confusion, of irrita-
tion, despair, and tears, through the galle-
ries and under the porticoes through which
the liberal and peaceful monarchy was a.
bout to pass, and again Withdrawn from
France. A depressrd murmur muttered i'm
precautions against the violat,r Of the coun-
try, and Stifcd sobs arose from the breasts
of all, while their faces, blanched with emo
tion, appeared still more livid and feverish
in the refccte light Of the torches carried
for the journey by the servants and pages.
The King at last appeared, and thousand
voices were raised, thousand arms out
stretched, thousand heads bowed, and a
Thousand kness bent before him. He walk
ed with difficulty, bennington the arm of the
Duke de BlacaS, and surrounded by the
group Of princes and their most intimate
friends. His features, though undisturhed
by fear, bore the traces Of the trag c calami-
ties Of his house and country, and, as his
look wandered with an expression of be-
nign and Sorrowful majesty over all those
faces which he recognised and Saluted with
slight inclination of his head, his humid
eyes seemed to contain the tears of his peO-
pie Without speaking word he passed
| through this line of followers, familiars, cour-
tiers, and private citizens, who opened be-
fore him and closed after him, some darting
forward and seizing his hands to kiss them
others touching the skirt of his coat as if tC
preserve an impression of his passion; all
breaking forth into lamentations and melt
ing into tears, as if at the sepulture Of :
reign, or the death-bed of father Of the peO
pie. At the foot Of the staircase thou
sand swords were crossed over his head, a.
their owners swore to defend or to avengC

an attempt was made TO restrain him.

Though less widely known as statesman
than Judge Woodbury., the history Of Gen.
Pierce is characterized BY the same Roman
frmness, modest consistency and sterling devo-
tiOn to principle which constituted the lead
ing traits of that upright statesman and dis
tinguished jurist.
Gen. Pierce was member of the House
of Representatives, during the stormy ses-
sions Of the 23d and oath Congress, rendered
himself conspicuous by his bold, decided and
eloquent championship Of the constitutional
rights of the South, his avowed and fearless
opposition to anti-slayery agitation and "a
naticism, and his undisguisgd hdstiiityto ell
the movements of the abolitionists., BE has
expressed himself with equal candor and
manliness upon the late anti-slayery agita.

From the Memphis Appeal
General Franklin Pierce, the Democratic
Nominee for President.

Gen. Franklin Pierce, who is announced
by telegraph as the Democratic nominee for
President, is scion Of Democracy as true,
sound and noble as any in the Union. The
New Hampshire Democracy are true type
of unfaltering fidelity to equal rights, State
sovereignty and constitutional Freedom
The Granite Hills in whose rugged bosom they
received their nurture have been held as the
fit figure, of that stern, fixed and indOmina-
BILE consistency with which they have main
tained the JefFersonian creed, through all
the reverses, changes and revolutions which
have marked the political history of our
country. Virginia, the mother Of States
and the nurse Of patriot Presidents, cannot
show clearer title to the admiration and
affection of the Democratic party of the Un'
ion, than the Democracy of New Hampshire
All the malice of our opponents cannot ex.
hibit sing lie stain upon their escutcheon-
one alteration from the right, or a solitary
failure to achieve, under their victorious ban
ner, the triumph of their principles in q
National contest When it is considered thai
New Hampshire is one of the original Thir
teen States-that her geographical position
is in the heart of New England--the his
torical seat of ancient and modern Federal
ism, and that her political associations anC
geographical surroundings are the most un
favorable to the growth of that serene anC
sturdy consistency which has characterized
her political career, she stands forth in soil
tary relief, to challenge our admiration, lik
her own solid mountains, whose lofty ant
sunlit-peaks are the first objects to catch th
eye of the mariner as he approaches th
rock-bound coast of New England.
There can be no higher tribute to th
New Hampshire Democracy than the fac
that for years past the lamented Levi Wood
bury has been their favorite and cherishe
son, the representative Of their principle
and the champion Of their cause. Had thl

The -Four Master Spirits.

Happening to cast my eyes over the por-
traits in gallery of paintings. remarked
that they wore so arranged to give four per-
sonagcs-Alexander, Hannibal, Caesar and
Bonapartc-thc most conspicuous places.
had seen the same before: but never did a
similar train of reflections arise in my bO-
som, as when my mind now hastily glanced
over their several histories.
Alexander, having climbed the dizzy
heights Of ambition, and with his temples
bound with the chaplets dipped in the blood
Of countless nations, looked down upon con
quercd world. and wcpt that there was not
another to conquer, set city on fire, anC
died in u disgraceful scene of dcbauch.
Hannibal, after having, to the astonish
ment and CONSERVATION of Rome, passed th'
Alps,-and having put to flight the armies
IF this "mistrcss of the world and stripped
three bushels of gold rings from the finger
of her slaughtered knights, and made he
very foundation quake-returned to hi
country, to be DETAINED, to be driven in ex
lie, and to die at last by poison, administer
cd by his own hand, unlalnented, and un
wept, in foreign cline.
Caesar, after having taken eight hundre'
cities, and dyed his garments in the blood q
his fellowmen-after having pursued t
death the only rival he had on earth-wa
assassinated by those he considered his near
est friends, and at the very point in whicI
he had gained the highest object of his am
bition.
Bonaparte, whose mandate kings an
priests obeyed, after having filled the cart
with the terror Of his namc-after havin
deluged Europe with tears and blood, an
clothed the world in sackcloth-closed hi
days in lonely Punishment almost exile
from the world; yet, where he could sons
times see his cnuntry's banner waving owe
the deep, but which would not, or could no
bring him aid.
Thus, those four men, who from the pecl
liar situation of their portraits seemed
stand as representatives of all those whol
the world calls "great," these four who mao
the earth tremble to its centre-severall
, died-one by intoxication, the second /
suicide, the third by assassination, and Il
last in lcnely exile.
, How vain is the greatness Of this worlC
How fearful is the gift of genius, if it
: abused Who, that is now living, wou
not rather die the death Of the humbl
righteous man, than that of Alexander,
!, Hannibal, or Caesar, or Napoleon?

Sin have the honor to acknowledge

Baltimore Convention for the high ofice 70
which you refer. Bat, as have no wish
to withhold my opinions upon any question
Of public character, comply, without hes.
itation, with your request.
AS respects the series Of measures Of the
last Congress, commonly known as the Com.
promise, most Of them are beyond the reach
Of legislation; and GIthohgh I considered
some Of them as most unjust e, the South,
l was probably the first individual in the
slayeholding States who publicly took ground
in favor Of acquiesence, and / am gTatifed
to 6nd that such is now the determination
Of all the Southern States. The fugitive
slave Law was enacted to carry out an express
provision Of the constitution, and therefore
does not stand on the footing q ordinary
legislation and should it so happen that I
should be placed in the presidential Office, I
should feel myself bound By every obliga-
ton Of duty, to negative any act for It's re-

From the Monroe Democrat.
To the Public.

1t is deemed necessary to give the public
plain, unVarnished statement of facts, rel
ative to a most atrocious murder, perpetra-
ted on MARY ANN BELL, about sixteen
years of age-daughter of the widow Sarah
BeIl-which was committed on the oath
May, between the hours of IL and o'clock
next morning, at which time she was found
dead and mangled in a most brutal manner.
She went to school in the morning, (about
one mile from her mothers residence j at
noon started home to her dinner in brisk
walk; about sunset her mother became unea-
sy and had her hunted; the near neighbors
assisted in the search, mounted on horses
with torches; the corpse was found about 2
or o'clock next morning in path leading
from the school house towards home, her
eyes and mouth closed, lying on her face, all
her clothes in proper manner, her bonnet
on, and no sign Of blood. A jury was le-
gally authorized to examine her and found
that chord, or something similar, had made
an impression round the neck; sufficient to
suspend the breathing; black in the face,
neck, and breast; bruise on her right arm
and one hand with other injuries, produced
from illegal attempts made on her, physi-
clan being called on to assist in the exami-
nation, confirming the same. Verdict Of
the jury, "came to her death BY the hands
of violence inflicted by some unknown per-
son or persons" A number of persons as
sembled at the Baptist ArbOr on Saturday
the 29th,
ResOlUed, To meet on Monday next and
publicly require of every person, within 3
miles Of the place where the deceased was
found, to give their whereabouts, &c., on
the day the murder was done. No disClos.
ures being made Of the demon in human
shape, the company concluded to adjourn
some persons made known to the crowd, that
at the place where the murder was done,
was found hickory stump about two feet
high, sprouts growing from it four feet in
length and twisted hair, the color OF the de-
ceased, twisted in the Withe, evidently hay-
! ing been bound around the neck. The dis
tance from the place where the body Wai
found to where the murder was done is be
tween two and three hundred yards, which
! distance the corpse was certainly moved
from testimony undoubted. The citizens
9 met on Friday the 4th inst, and after scru
tinizing examination, failed to make any dis

/ steT; this is therefore q warning to all goOl
