COLD CoMroRr FOR Opplcs-SEEkEas.
-Tha New \ ork "Times" quotes a
speech delivered in the Unitod States
Senate in lS4l by Franklin Pierce up
on the subject OF removals from Office
From the very decided manner in which
Senator Pierce condemned removals
from office, we conclude that President
Pierce will make few or none. In re-,
ply to some remarks OF MIR. Clay that
the nation demanded changes, Mr..
Pierce said:
"Sir, tn b demand OF the nation, this
plea OF 'Sidte necessity let me tell hen-
tlemen, is as old as the history of wrong
and oppression. !, hns been the stand.
ing plea, the never-failing resort OF der
potism.

man Senate, hut destroyed it's ,nd.pen-

fled gronns from the black-hole Of Cal.

Bridge of Sighs' IN Venice and point
ed TO those upon whose gloomy portals
there was never seen returning iso =

1T is cold, selfish, hear,less, and has
always been regardless oi age. sex,

dents OF lIie that appeal 10 patriotism or
humanity.
Wherever it's authority has been &c
knowledged, il has assailed men who
stood by their country when she need
ed strong arms and bold hearts. and
has assailed them when, manned and
disai led IN her service, they could no
longer brandish a weapon in her de.
fence.
1T has afflicted the feeble and depen-
dant wife for the imaginary laults Of the
husband.
Ill has stricken down innocence in
ITS beauty, youth in its freshness, man

other plea or apology may be sc, up

this civil gullIotIne at the present day,
in the name Of Liberty, let US be spared
this fearful one OF 'Staie necessity in this
early age oi the Republic, upon the floor
OF the American Senate, in the face of

After this (says the New York "Ex-
press") the Wings in Office we think may
feel perfectly safe that the "civil guillo-
,ine' is not to reach them.
