GeneralPierce.s Services.

Abiding to General PsERc's speech
at the New Hampshire fair, the metro
politan organ asks:
What Democrat is there in the land
who would not have HING his head
with shame and di appointment if Gen
eral Pierce had seized thu occasion to
exratiate opon his civil or military Ca
reer. to enumerate the high Offices he
has declined or laid down, the services
he has rendered, or the honors he has
won't"
Why would a Democrat ''have hung
his head If General Pierce had so sex
patiated 7" Because the listener would
have felt that the speaker laid claim to
exceliencies Of which he is not legitl-
mate posspssor.
A speech or an essay upon General
Pierce's civil or military career"
'the services he has rendered or the
honors he has won,' would form new
feature in the campaign, and furnish
food for laughter until long after the
second of November.-Repu5lic.
