Gen. Pierce certainly did vote against
this most unequal bill, and from the yeas
and nays it will appear that he voted in
very respectable whig company.

ers Of the whig address, the boters from the
late Seward caucus, Says the Wing; \
1--WE had been led to believe that it was
signed aud issued by tho leading wings OF
the South and Southwest, aud that it dis.
closed enough to threaten, if not destroy,
the integrity of the national whig rayty
The address, however, come to hand, and
we, this morning. give it to our readers---it
is only small wave upon the political sur
face. The object of the address, il we
understand il Alright, is to east doubt upon
the soundpess and integrity of the whig par.
ty of the nation"
And again:
I'VE had intended TO have said more
about this address, but we regard il as only
an effort on the part OF the withdrawing
members to justify their indiscrction we
will let it go forth without further comments.
The names signed to the address are not
sufficient to satisfy the whig party Of Mis-
sissippi that their views are to be taken
without examination.
Mr. Brooke, who heads the list, cast down
upon the integrity of the wing party last
winter when he was an aspirant for u. s.
Senator. The Wig State Convention met
few days since at Jackson, but did not
appoint Mr. Brooke delegate to represent the
whig party OF Mississippi in the National
Convention; nor did the whig convention
OF North Carolina appoint Mr.. Clingman
delegate--the latter having voted on all
occasions against the compromise and a.
gainst the views OF party friends--and we
would like to know who authorized them
to lay down platform, or TO say what the
lwhig party should or should not do"
Verify, Mr.. Brooke may well exclam,
Call you this backing your friends ?"

claims the honor Of being the first to bring
forward Gen. Pierce in the late National
Convention.
There are few things we would be I'M
willing TO concede to the Old Dominion, but
this is claiming too much. The movement
which resulted in the election Of Pierce,
was decided by the Mississippi delegation.
and Tor Mississippi we claim it. Virginia
had voted for him once or twice without
effect, but on the forty.eigIth ballot when
Mississippi declared for him, there was
general stampede of the friends Of all other
candidates, aud an immediate concentration
on the New Hampshire statesman. The
movement of Mississippi a: that critical
Iullcture. when chances were so deicateiy
balanced, was as efectual as the famous
evolution of Jefferson DAVIS, aud his rifles
at the battle Of Buena Vista.
The Mississippi delegation had all along
had Ple.ce in view, and only waited the
proper movencat to put him in the van.
