viii respond to it.
For President, We have man who has
adorned many high positions heretofore, and
whose sterling talents aud irreproachable
character have rendered him estimable and
exemplary in all the relations Of private life
lie is the son Of a gallant officer Of the rcvo-
luton, and in the course Of a distinguished
public career has been ever true to the in
stincts and principles the love Of liberty and
Of Justice which he derived from the lessons
and the example Of that father. He is man
firm decided, consistent, yet moderate, mild
and conciliating. In the high party struggles
that marked the close Of Jackson administra-
tion, and for several years thereafter, he
served in both branches Of Congress, and
while he enjoyed the entire confidence Of his
political friends. he was honored with the es-
TEEN Of his opponents.
We have never read, We have never heard
Of an attack, personal or political. on Frank
lin Pierce And yet both in New Hampshire,
and in the House Of Representatives, and in
the Senate Of the United States. he has al
ways occupied prominent position, taken
leading part in the debates, and without fall
tering. even for moment, in his party ale
glance
We refer to the journals, the debates, and
the newspapers Of his times, for the course he
has pursued; for the strong and statcsman-like
talent he possesses; for the discrimination
consiancy and ability with which he has vim
dicated and adhered to Democratic principles;
and for the fairness and courtesy, which, uni
ted with high personal character, have always
commanded FOR him the respect Of all parties.
But few days since we received two acliig
papers from New Hampshire, which had
copied an article from this journal in relation
to Gen. Pierce, and accompanying it with
warm endorsement of his personal merits and
patriotic spirit And We might refer-if it
did not seem like taking an advantage-to the
opinion expressed Of him BY Mr. Webster, on
his visit to New Hampshire last fall, when he
took occasion to speak Of Mr.. Pierce, as many
Of our readers must remember, in very ex-
alted terms
As the question has been asked in some Of
the city papers, whether Gen. Pierce was in
favor of the recent compromise, We can safely
say, from a speech that he made at a public
dinner last fall. that he regarded the measure
IS essential to the Union, and as barrier
against the eneroachments on the rights and
institutions Of the States. Though a North
,rn man, he has uniformly planted himself on
lie ramparts Of the Constitution in our de-
ence. and thus entitled himself to the unani- I
nous vote he received from our delegates in
he Convention, and the enthusiastic support
10 will receive from the people Of the South.
On this point the public will probably hear
rom him in a very few days.

A STORY WITH MoRAL.-Alr. Bones, 0
the firm Of Fossil, Bones & Co, was one o
those remarkable monoy-making men, who's
uninterrupted success in trade had been th'
wonder and afforded the material for the gos
sip Of the town for seven years. Being Of Z
familiar turn Of mind, he was frequently in
terrogated on the subject, and invariably gave
as the secret Of his success that he minded hi,
own business.
A gentleman met Mr.. Bones on the Assam
pink bridge. lie was going on the dashing,
foaming waters as they fell over the dam. Hc
was evidently in brown study. Our friend
ventured to disturb his cogitations.
/" Mr.. Bones tell me how to make a thou
sand dollars"
Mr.. Bones continued looking on the water
At last he ventured reply:
DO you see that dan, my friend
Il certainly do"
well, here you may learn the secret Of
making money. That water would waste
away and be Of no practical use to anybody,
but for the dam. That dam turns it to good
account. makes il perform some useful pur-
pose, and then suffers it to pass along. That
large paper mill kept in constant motion BY
this simple economy. Many mouths are fed
in the manufacture Of the article of paper,
and intelligence is scattered broad east over
the land on the sheets that arc daily turned
out; and in the different processes through
which it passes. money is made So it is in
the living Of hundreds Of people. They get
enough Of money. L passes through their
hands every day, and at the years end they
are no better off, What's the reason? They
want dam. Their expenditures are increa-
sing and no practical good is attained They
want them damned up, 50 that nothing will
pass through their hands without bringing
something back-without accomplishing some
useful purpose. Dam up your expenses, and
you will soon have enough occasionally To-
spare a little, just like that dam. Look at it.

Il is true that man is entitled to credit for
all the good .hings that he has ever done, and
so should Washington Hunt be. But is it
not strange that every Northern whig when

has been found wanting. Point to ono that
