~ That most debauched and william.
Gus OF all newspapers, the New York
Herald, which, in an editorial last week.
called Christianity 'the lettering church
OF Christ and attempted to show, in a
long editorial, that it was unequal to
the exigences of the times and would
have to give way to some other kind of
religion, is out for Pierce and King, and
vllfes the Wing party and their cam
dldate in its most filthy style. That is
just what was to be expected. Its edi-
tor is free trade mana foreigner,
who never had the interests ofthe Amer
lean people at heart, and he rightly
goes with the London Times and other
British papers which openly advocate
the claims OF Pierce, on the ground that
he is opposed to tariff to protect
American Industry, and consequently
the most available and profitable candi-
date for the British. Working men,
pay attention to these things.

putation for their Gen. Pierce upon the
ground of his ACHE rements in Mexico,
we think they will have to fall back at
last upon the fact that 'his sister mar
ried u man who fought in The battle of
Lu@dy's Lome'T Lou. Jour.
H. The Washington Union is tor
tured nearIy TO death by its anxiety to
know why Gen. Scott was nominated
instead of Fillmore or Webster How
strange that it isn't tortured quite to
death by an anxiety TO know WHY Gen.
Pierce was nominated instead of Cass,
Buchanan, Douglas or Butler! Lou. Jour.
~ The efforts of the Democratic Or
gans to gather up something from the
history of the Mexican war to glorifv
their nominee remind us of the poor
fellow, good deal the worse for liquor,
who tried to pocket the shadow of
swinging sign for handkerchief. Lou.

Can any person point out any single
act of Gen. Pierce, while member Of
Congress, indicating that he possesses
ability sufficient to be President of the
United States!

He NEVER KNEW Ir.-ln a recent
