Franklin Pierce.

PoLK's PRED1cr1oN.-Mr. Howard OF
Tenn, at great ratification meeting held
in Buffalo, related an incident which he
said would be interesting to Democrats,
the truth of which was vouched by Gen
eral Armstrong of the Washington Union,
and J. Knox Walker, Esq, private secre-
tary to President Polk. When Mr.. Polk
signed the commission Of Gen. Pierce, APP
pointion him to a command in the army
in Mexico, he turned to those gentlemen
and said " lam noW con,n,isS ioning a man
tcho ,0Hl one day be President"
Mr.. CALnouN's OPINION OF GENERAL
PIERcE.-John G. Calhoun was man
whose judgment of character was of the
highest order, and whose opinion was
Justly regarded by the American people
of the GREATEST importance. Judge Doug
las says that, in conversation which he
had with Mr.. Calhoun, some three years
since, Mr.. G. remarked that "he looked
upon Frank Pierce, as one of the most
reliable men, as statesman and patriot,
that the country had produced.
HENRY CLAY's OPINION OF GENERAL
P1ERCE--Hear the word of the dying
statesman which we commend to the con-
sideration of every true Wing in the
country. Mr. Clay's long and intimate
knowledge of Gen. P, renders his opinion
the more valuable: Mr.. Clay was great.
ly chagrined when he heard Of the defeat
of Gen. Cass, but pronounced Franklin
Pierce very good man, who, he felt
assured, would administer the govern
ment in proper manner, should he be
elected by the people. The opinions OF
Mr.. Clay are no longer those of politt,
clan or partizan, but those of ar-sight'
ed and patriotic statesman.

fine specimens of Gypsum and Mica have
been brought to the surface by this phe-
nomenon, and the whole army of explO-

seen engaged in the busy pursuit.

We call the attention of the Union, the
Richmond Enquirer, and other PIERCE jour
nails of the South, to the following paragraph
from the Buffalo Daily Republic of the 10th
Instant Democratic journal of the strictest
sect. 1t will be seen that there are other DEM
ocrats besides the New York Post who ap-
prove the sentiments which the Concord and
Manchester Democrats attribute to General
PIERCE:
"The Washington Republic thinks to create an
unfavorable impression against General Pierce in
the Southern States by publishing the following
extract from New Hampshire paper-thc Inde-
pendent Democrat. If he has uttered any such Ian
guage as is here ascribed to him, we have only to
remark that it does him great honor. If further
testimony of the same kind, in regard to the opin
ions of General Pierce, is in possession of the
Washington Republic, we invite that journal to
produce il without delay"
The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1852-07-20

that very strong anfslavery opinion which
Mr.. PIERCE is allegsf to have pronounced in
January last, and upon the efficacy of that
opinion as means ,fconcliating the Freesoil-
ers. II will be remembered that one of the
suppositious arguments ADVANCED by the
Union to shake confidence in the truthlulness
Of the New Hampshire reports consisted of an
allusion to the fact hat Mr.. PIERCE exerted
himself to defeat theelection of Mr.. ATWOOD
when candidate for Governor. at is not pro-
bable," the Union aYued, in substance, THAT
= MIR. PIERCE would ,ropound an Aboitionist
. sentimentsEhile engaged in canvass against
. Freesoil nominee" But the interrogatory
which called forth M. PIERcE's condemnation
of the Fugitive SlWe law may have been
prompted by conviction that according to Mr..
PIERcE's own views Mr.. ATWOOD was high
ly proper man; and Mr.. PIEReE's answer
would justify the assumption. The difference
between them was nj in relation to abstract
principle, for they wee united in condemning
slavery and the Fugitive Slave law-not in ref,
erence to the supremacy of "higher law D." for
both acknowledged it IN Us fnll force--but sim
ply in relation TO the coure to be pursued while
the Fugitive Slave law remains upon the statute
book. Mr.. Atwood noioubt favored the null
LITIGATION view, while Mr.. PIERCE, according
to the local press, INSISTED upon obedience to
the law. The contes was not without bitter
ness, nor, so far as Mr.PERCE was concerned
without service. But the contest and the i'll
feeling ended togethss, and now, as the first
fruit Of the January declaration, the Freesoil-
ers. with Atwood at their head, rally to
the support Of the Democratic nominee. From
this point of view, the praises which the
PIERCE papers in New Hampshire are heap
ing upon Mr.. ATWOOD are indeed significant.
