The EccesSlOnists' Candidate.

In his letter to the Hillsboro' Convention,
Mr.. PIERRE SoULE compliments the good peo-
pie of New Hampshire for their necessary ap-
probation of the "wisdom and sagacity" of the
Baltimore Convention In nominating General
PIERCE.
Considering that General PIERCE is claimed
by Mr.. FORSYTH and the Fire-eaters as the
"CREATIoN and CHOICE" of Mr.. SoULE and
his friends, is not there little seeming self
compacency in this allusion to the "wisdom and
sagacty" Of the convention?
In The same letter Mr.. SoULE confirms the
statement of Mr.. FORSYTH, to which we have
alluded. "The southern delegates in that
convention" he says, "wHosE CHOICE GEN
ERAL PIERCE WAS, knew his history well, and
were familiar with his political career"
VINO were those southern delegates2 PIERRE

their associates!
