his fortune in distant country, setting out alone

ing the best gifts of heaven to rest on his beloved
offspring, and to crown all his efforts with COM
plete success. Tears gush from his eyes, and
words are forbid utterance. 4 kind, affectionate
mother calling after him as he is departing from
the parental abode, and with all the dangers to
which he is exposed rushing into, and pressing
upon her mind, she says-"Go, my son-remem-

Gen Bierce has issued, in handbI FORM the fol-
lowing defence. 1t will be seen that he is in ear
nest, bold and brave. A vete, an Democrat he
will not quietly submit to party ostracism for his
firm and consistent adherence to Demociftie- -prin-

when member of it is denouncel aud prescribed
for his faithful adherence to. those p,incp es of
equality, justice and humanity laid down by Ieffer
son himself in the great chart of American De-
.mecracy, the immortal Declaration.
Gen. Bierce has been coaxed. entreated, threat
ened, and blandy approached with seductive offers
of .fce, proUdtd Pierce as elected, hut that stern
and determined Democrat, unswayed by fateEy,
unmoved by rarty anxiety, unawed by tllreats, and
unseduced by the proffele ed bribe of office stands
forth in the attitude of incoruptible patriotism and
from party edicts appeals TO The justice of the peo-
pie.
The honest minded people, the uncnuuptedan
incerruptible Jefersonian Democracy, will. can
not be doubted candidly consider and weigh the
defence of their old associate and ompatriot in

EST in the matter, save that which pertains TO the
