G.. neral franklin Pierce.

GEN. Franklin PIERCE, the nominee
of the National Democratic Convention
for the Presidency, is a son Of the late
Benjamin Pierce, who fought in the revo-
lutionary war; was High Sheriff Of the
county Of Hillsborough, in New Hamp-
shire, and was Governor of the State in
1877 and 1879 He was a man eminently
distinguished for his strong and practical
common sense, as well as his unainching
fidelity to his country.
Gen. Pierce is, therefore, of good
stock, and he has proved. himself worthy
scion Of that stock. He was born in
Hllsborough, New Hampshire, in 1905,
and is now about fortysix years of age.
Hillsborough county is the birth place
Of several eminent men: Hon. Daniel
Webster, General Cass, Hon. John A.
Dix, &c.
Frank Pierce was brought up to the
profession of the law, and he distinguished
himself in it, being a man Of clear head
and sound understanding. He now fol
lows the legal profession, and it is esti-
mated tha; he realizes by it about $4,000
a year. He resides at Concord, the capi-
tai of the Granite State. In his persona!
appearance, he is of middle height and
size, and Of good address. He is modest
aud perfect gentleman in his manners.
He was elected a member of Congress
On the Democratic ticket in 1888, and
was reelected in 1S35-thus serving four
years in the House of Representatives
while quite young man-namely, from
1888 to 1887. He had previously been a
member of the Legislature of the State,
and Speaker Of the lower House. While
n member of the House Of Representatives,
in Congress, be was elected member of
the United States Senate for the term Of
six years, commencing in lS37-but re-
signed in 1912, the fifth year Of his term,
and returned to the practice of the law.
His colleague in the United States Senate
from 1887 to 1S4l, was Hcnry Hubbard,
who was succeeded by the late Levi
Woodbury..
While in the Senate, ,thous h the youngest
member of it, he acquitted himself in a
manner to secure himself the personal
favor and esteem Of all with whom he
was associated, the admiration and ap-
probation of Lis constituency, and high
position among the statesmen and orators
of the nation. Mr.. Pierce kas always been
distinguished at home for fcrvid and
impressive eloquence, and has attained a
personal popularity, for that reason,
hardly less extensive and universal than
that which everywhere attaches to him BY
reason Of his popular manners, and the
universal propriety and amenity which
attend his intercourse with all classes Of
society.
Upon the accession Of Polk to the
Lewisburg chronicle. [volume] (Lewisburg, Pa.) 1850-1859, 1852-06-11

Resolved, That the Democratic party
will resist all attempts at renewing, in
Congress or out of it, the agitation Of tbs
slavery question, under whatever shape or
color the attempt may be made.
Resolved, That the proceeds of the
public lands ought to be sacredy applied
to the national objects specified in the Con-
stitution and that we are opposed to any
law for the distribution of such proceeds
among the States, as alike inexpedent in
policy, and repugnan. to the Constitution.
Resolved, That We are decidedly opposed
to taking from the President the qualified
veto power, by which he is enabled, under
restrictions and responsibilities, amply
sufficient to guard the public interest, to
1, suspend the passage of u bill whose merits
can not secure the approval of two-thirds
of the Senate and House of Representa-
tives until the judgment of the people can
be obtaincd thereon, and which has saved
the American people from the corrupt and
tyrannical domination of the Bank of the
United States, aud from corrupting sys-
TEN of general internal improvements.
GResoved, That the Democratic party
will faithfully abide by and uphold the
principles laid down in the Kentucky and
Virginia resolutions of 1892 and 1913,
and in the report OF MIR. Madison to the
Virginia Legislature in 1899; that it
adopts these principles as constituting one
Of the main foundations of its political
creed, and is resolved to carry them out
on their Obvious meaning and import.
[Resoived, That the war with Mexico
upon all the principles of patriotism and
the laws of nations, was just and neces
sary war on our part, in which no Ameri
can citizen should have shown himself op
posed to his country, and neither morally
nor physically, by word or in deed, have
given aid and comfort to the enemy.
GResolved, That we rejoice at the res.
toration Of friendly relations with our Sis
ter Republic of Mexico, and earnestly
desire for her all the blessings and pros
perty which We enjoy under republican
institutions, and We congratulate the Amer
lean people upon the result of that wal
which has so manIfestly justified the pol
icy and conduc; Of the Democratic party,
and insured the United States indemnity
for the past and security for the future.
! [i;esolvcd, That in view Of the condi.
,inn Of popular Institutions in the old
world, high aud sacred duty is devolved
with increased responsibility upon the
Democracy Of this country, as the party
of the people, to uphold and maintain the
rights of every State, and thereby the
union of the States, and 10 sustain and
advance among them constitutional liberty
by continuing to resist all monopolies and
exclusive legislation for the beneti. of the
few at the expense of the many, and by
viglant and constant adherence TO those
principles and compromises of the Constr
tuition, which are broad enough to embrace
and uphold the Union as it is. and the
Union as it should be, in the full expan
sion of the energies and capacity OF thh
great and progressive people.

are Informed by Col. Raymond and others
that a portion of a regularly Macadamized
road has been discovered on the opposite
side OF the river from this place We have
not seen it ourselves, but learn that it
extends pretty much along the bank of the
river rs width is about l6 feet and the
track well graded The bed of stone
seems to be about two inches thick. and
made precisely after tie plan of our
Macadamzed roads, the stone being bro
ken to about the same size as that used
for our roads. The discovery was made
by the washing away of hillside which
partially covered the road When and
by what race of people this road WAS made
i unknown at the present day, but it
gives evidence Of the existence of i popu-
iation here at some former age of the

at least IN the art Of rad making, as our
