since the time of this festival, which should with
draw from him the confidence Of the American
people, let the pages of history answer and let

PIERCE Srocx GOING upl-The most con-
spicuous effort to manufacture capital for the
advancement of Mr.. Pierce has lust been made

Rurus CHoArE.-A Wing is anxious to know
where Mr.. Choate may he found in the Presiden-

In due time be found working and voting with
his Whg brethren, as evor.-TribuHc.
