MISCELLANY N Y
Gen. Pierce. President Elect.

.Messrs Editors i observed with pleasure
the respectful notice you recently took of our
honored townsman, Gen. Pierce. l take the
liberty to add somewhat to the notice, in con-
frmation of its justice.
Gen. Pierce never sought Office, but always
seemed to flee from it. He resigned his place
in the United States Senate, and declined the
offer of the Office of Attorney General from
President Polk Years ago, he was urged to
return to the Senate. but he sternly refused.
He might have been Governor of the State by
the simple expression of his wish or willing
ness, but he always turned deaf ear TO the
suggestion. once heard him say in private
conversation, that he would never consent TO be
a candidate even for the Presidency, if he
should be required to 60 on an electioneering
tour and make speeches; for the office was
entitled to honor, and should not be degraded
in the eyes of the world.
Gen. Pierce, like Mr.. Webster, has deep
reverence for God and sense of the vanity Of
all worldly things without His favor and the
hope of an immortal life. Many a time have
heard him expatiate with eloquence and So
lemnity, in confidential intercourse, on 'the
vanity of man us a MORTAL and the dignity
ard support which religion gives to him IN the
conflicts of life and at its close. Happening to
meet with him at his Office few days after his
nomination, he remarked with seriousness
and solemnity which deeply affected me, thai
when the news of his nomination reached him
his first thoughts rose up to God, and he never
felt the need of His aid and guidance as at that
moment. / could not doubt his sincerity fol
his earnestness and sensiblity were such a:
yon could expect in the most religious men.
During the canvass he has remained quietly
at home, daily walking from his house TO hi.

Courts, or occasionally making an excursion tt

RACES OF MEN IN THE UNITED STATES
That great London newspaper, the Times, has
devoted large amount of thought and atten-
tion TO the United States of late This is easi-
ly explained. The giant strides of the young
Republic in all kinds of enterprise, and partic-
ularly the fact that America has beaten Britain
in all tests Of superiority npon the ocean, have
created demand among the people of Great
Britain for more information concerning peo-
pie furnishing such wonderful developments Of
progress. The statement having been made in
England that the United States are populated
by European races, one half Of our white pop
ulation being Cells, one-third Irish Cells, and
one-seventh Irish by birth, writer in the Lon
don Times overhauls the statement. and proves
by the following the absurdity of the statement.
The following is his estimate of the races
forming the population Of the United States
