after allowed.
Several other amendments were acted upon;
when
The bill was laid aside to be reported to the
House.
GENERAL APPROPRIATIONS BILL-suspRy SUBJECTS
On motion of MIR. HOUSTON, the committee
proceeded to the consideration OF the bill making
appropriation for the civil and diplomatic ex-
penses Of the Government for the year ending
June 80. 1853, and for other purposes.
Mr.. FAULKNER, of Virginia, made speech
on the Presidential question. He said, in the course
OF his remarks, that irrespective OF former party
affiliations and political organizations, he should
give his humble and sincere support To those m'n
and their associates who, by their public declara
tions and authentic acts, haze given him The
highest assurances of their devotion TO the fed
eral compact. He alluded to the necessity of the
enforcement of the Fugitive Slave law and the
compromises of the Constitution, de- q" this de-
Ponds our domestic tranquility aud The p'a' and
stability of the Union. He alluded to Messrs. Clay,
Fillmore, Webster, Case, and other gentlemen of
eminencc, who endeavored, by their influence To
calm the slavery agitation; and in this connexon
he alluded to Franklin Pierce, who, in October,
1850, delivered a speech upon the suhJrct VI the
Compromise measures, and which "aa published
in the National Infeiiisencer. He said this was u
most conclusive refutation OF the calumny recently
propagated against that gentleman hy the Aboii
ton fanatics Of the North. General Scott did not
views upon the subject, but by giving dtrect coun
tenance to those who rallied in hostility 10 the
Compromise policy, and whose candidate he Is.
Having consumed the hour allotted TO debate
MIR. COBB gave notice that he should at the ear
iest day cali up the claim Of worthy widow,
with elk children; and that he should also express
his views the bill to reduce and graduate the
price Of the public lands
Mr.. CLiNGMAN said that he had bill giving
a pension to q soldier who had his leg broken some
years ago; and he wanted his friend over the way
to include this bill in his benevolent purposes
Mr.. SHELTON remarked that the Committee
on Agriculture have agreed to report bill to es-
,ablish an agricultural bureau. He had written
out an argument, in which he considered the ne
cessity OF such establishment; but, as the tes-
zion is far advanced, and there is large amount
of business pressing, he would not detain the
House by delivering, but ask the privilege to have
his views published. ITO this there was no ohjec-
ton.
Mr.. J. w. HOWE obtained the floor, and gave
way for motion that the committee rise, which
prevailed.
The House concurred in the action of the com
mittce on the amendments of the Senate to the
Military Academy bill, with the exception OF the
proviso to the per diem and mileage clause
Aud then adjourned.

blot should be allowed to rest upon public aer-
want. to say the least, SO upright and fearless.
LASTLY, we object to these certificates in that
they have no reference to the point in dispute,
each referring to speech Of Mr.. Pierce made in
December, 1851, whereas the Objectionable language
is reported to have been used on the I'd January,
1852. II the discrepancy was intentional, it is a
base fraud upon the country; if inadvertent, il
shows with what recklessness those willing wit.
nesses fly to the rescue of their friends"
1t is To be remembered that when the Gazette
and the Chronicle expressed these opinions
they were not in possession of the affidavit Of
MIR. Foss and the collateral evidence subse-
quently ELECTED. They were unacquainted,
also, with the inconteslible proofs that have been
collated during the last few days of the Free
soil proclivties of General PIERCE's neighbors
and immediate allies, When the whole case
obtains circulation in the South, the excite
ment which we are told already exists will be
vastly strengthened. ......... ...

The Presidency.


The people generally do not sufficiently estimate
the Importance Of having right, minded man for
their President. II you will tell US who is the
captain Of steamboat we will tell you what is the
order of that boat. In the army, in time Of war,
we all think on that principle. In the progress of
General SCOTT to the city of Mexico, no one ex-
pectcd to hear of his defeat. Had weak man been
at tho head of the army, we should have expected
nothing else than defeat. II is in civil govern
ment, from the highest to the lowest grade of office
Put man into the Presidential chair who is strong
in the sense Of justice, and the whole nation will be
the stronger inclined to justice. Put dishonest
intriguer there, and the nation will be filled with
dishonesty and intrigue This comes from the in
huencc OF example, and runs through all the rela
tons of society and life. The consequence is le
gitimate from the cause. The principle has always
been acknowledged in theory, and confirmed in
practice. The mere fact of the dispcns ation of
Government patronage is trife, compared with
the general moral influence dependent on the Sc.
lection Of President The youth aspires to fame
and distinction. If he secs those elevated to the
highest stations who have performed no great ser.
vice, to the exclusion of those who have, will it
incite him to strive to ascend in the only right
way-by noble, virtuous, manly deeds, that re.
quirc labor, pains taking, and constant self
sacrifice? Let the common sense Of the people
ponder this as they choose between Winfield Scott
of New Jersey, and Franklin Pierce of New Hanp-
shire

The greater portion OF this work originally ap-
peared in Blacktrood II contains thrilling pic
lures of frontier life, for many the adventures
both by "fiood and field" that the hardy pioneers
of those distant regions underwent. The London
Literary Gazette says Of this work:
"For intensity of interest we have met with no
recent work OF fiction to equal it. The scene of
the adventures which form the theme Of the book
10 in the countries bordering on tho Gulf of Mex
leo. The peculiarities Of the vegetation and ply
steal features Of that wonderful region arc define
with the interest attached TO the wanderines and
exploits of its strange and motley population"

From the Portsmouth IN. FL. Messenger
a Freesoil print--we derive the following,
which tallies exactly with the explanation
offered by every New Hampshire paper not
committed 10 the PIERCE interest:
General Pierce, in a speech made at New Bos
ton, was reported to have said he loathcd the Flu
gitive Slave law. The remark was by no means
an extraordinary one for the speaker wac attempt.
ing to draw votes from John Atwood. and TO give
the impression that il was not on account Of his
opposition to that odious law that Atwood was be-
headed The Hunker presses Of Perce's party did
not then deny that he made use of such an express
sion, as the effect of it they believed would be sal
utary."
Having misaid the last number of the Con-
cord On. H. Independent Democrat, we avail
ourselves of the following paragraph, which we
find attributed to that journal by the Boston
Atlas:
GAS we have received large number of letters
from southern men during the last fortnight, ask
ing information in regard to this matter, We take
this occasion to say to and all, that the Ian
guage attributed to General Pierce above toas
spoken by him precisely reported. This language
not only used at Nstu Boston. but also at Brad
ford and other places in this State. OF this the
prouf ia abundant, and will DO forthcoming, in
a shape to defy cavil denial We have had no
agency in getting up the issue. And but for the
charge of Misrepresentation made against US, we
should have no interest in its decision. AS it is,
htstory ,oiiI be set right
The history is tolerably right" at present,
but it will wear new aspect when proof be
adduced that the obnoxious language used by
General PIERCE at New Boston was also used
by him at Bradford and other places in New
Hampshire. That is the assertion now made
by the Independent Democrat, with promise
that abundant evidence shall be produced in
4 shape to defy cavil or denial.".

sential in Democratic organ, and not because
listed. Patriotism and an unselfsh devotion to
Wing nationality compel the Union to throw
aside the disguise worn while it was expedient
to keep up cry of alarm, and at the same
time compel it to bear testimony to the lofty
principles and administrative ability that have
distinguished the course of the present Admin
istration. We will not say, as some do, that
the Union deals only in cheap generosity. We
will not impute to it an obstinate persistence in
career Of Misrepresentation so long as any
political object were TO be gained by it, OF an
abandonment of it only because change of
tactics had become expedient. Appearances
possibly warrant impuations of this descrip-
ton, but we despise the mind that can cherish
OF repeat them. The Union is above all trick
cry or misrepresentation. 1t is ironical coca
sionally, and may perchance teach by para
bic; and there can be no doubt now that 1t
wrote ironically or allegorically when it ac-
cused Mr.. FILLMORE and his advisers of all
manner of evil doings. The Union always
meant The opposite of what it said when it ma
ligned and misrepresented the Administration.
Ii knew that its censure would be received by
the country as most excellent praise; and now,
with perfect propriety, it steps forward to elu-
cidate the purport Of its own words, and to
claim credit for its own sagacity. Steiner stuff
than we are made of would melt before such
kindness.
The attentions of the Union are more par
| ticularly worthy CT mag1anmous appreciation
because they involve neglect of its own do
nestle interests. 1t offers itself as mediator
and pacifcator for the Wings, without stop
ping to settle the quarrels of the Democratic
household Its affections are too cosmopolitan
to be chained within the narrow circuit of a
single family. 1t knows that meddlers with
other peoples business rarely thrive in the
management of their own, but mere vulgar
consideration cannot tempt its spirit from the
field of missionary labor. 1t delights in the
pursuit of knowledge under difficulties, and in
the performance of good deeds without reward.
1t is tortured with anxiety to know why the
Wings nominated General ScorT, and in try
ing to solve the problem it forgets the anxiety
of others to know why its immediate friends
passed over CAss and DOUGLAS, and b.
CHANAN and BUTLER, to raise from the
gloom of obscurity FRANKLIN PIERCE. Its
lamentations over Wing frailty dispel its re-
collections of the ngratitude of the Democracy
towards we'll tried servants, and the bunder Of
the same in singing out for leader one who
has not single positive claim upon the con-
sideration of the country.
The Union must, however, excuse us. We
feel lovingly towards it, and will help it when
we can but it seems to us that the middle of
a fight is scarcely a proper time to revert to
the discussion Of preIiminaries. We cannot
stop to teach our contemporary the alphabet it
should have learned six weeks ago.

GENERAL PIERCE's BIoaRAPHY.-Gen. Pierce's
eastern friends have got up life of him, and. the
materials being exceedingly scnnty, they have
added to the volume the lives Of several of his
atons, the Democ ratio platform. and various other
matters of wat importance. Probably the most
interesting matter related in the volume, which
consists OF about hundred pages. is the follow
ing. The reader will please bear in mind that the

"Old General Pierce was no fcholar. He had
devoted his life to dceds and not to books; and it
10 ead that while he sitting by the kitchen fire
one night, writing his annual message to the Le-
gisature, he came TO full stop word he
could not possibly spell. After rallying all his
own literary forces, and man0uvrpg them
skilfully as he could, he was obliged TO draw of

son. sitting near by, how the devil do you spell
