REcKoSING Matching time
has not quite arrived for the election eggs,
yet the New Hampshire Democrats are al
ready counting their chickens. The Concord
New Hampshire Statesman, gives the fol-
lowing description Of the state of affairs
among the expectants of office in that quar-
ter:
"a crazier set of people were never
abroad, than some now 10 be found at the
capital Of New Hampshire. Foreign Am
bassadors, Heads of Departments, Consuls
and Charges d. Affairs, to say nothing of
heads of bureaus at Washington, and the
endless array of minor offices, are plenty as
''leaves in Vallombrosa."
It's the opinion ofthe Statesman that there
are at least fifty in Concord, who have not
slept wink since Friday night, so full have
their heads been of bassadorships, and
other golden visions-all to be realized
when General Pierce has the good fortune
to ''get in"

Jones, Of Tennessee arose to make an eX.
PLANTATION. He said he was the object o.
much Misrepresentation. He said he hoped
the platform had been adopted unanimous,

he was false to the South. He Indignantly
repealed the charge. He desired to main,
tain the integrity of the Wing party-He
did not wish TO canvass the claims of any
candidate, and would support any nominee
he did not wish to advocate the claims o.
| Gen. Scott before the nomination-he had nc
/ predilecction for any mamie said that the
letter from Mr.. Scott to DR.. Archer wa.
shown him-he saw Gen. Scott in Washing,
ton some time ago-told him he would sup.
port Fillmore as a true representative
Scott told him he was decidedly in favor o
the Compromise. Jones told him he SHOULD
say so publicly and silence calumny. Scott
however, refused to commit himself public
ly, as not the proper course. Jones made
an eloquent appeal to the Convention to stan,
by the South on the Compromise, and lay
aside all prejudice.

1.-THE Antics have been laboring, both
by coaxing and intimidating, to effect trade
with the Benton men; because they have
failed, they say that "the Benton men and
Wings have traded" This is all stuff, and
the result Of disappointment. There is no
doubt that the Benton men and Wings are
both interested in the defeat of faction
with whom neither have any political affini-
ties. But this is no news in these parts.
The Benton men openly declare that they
will not support Green. The Antics say
they will sacrifice everything else to elect
their nominee, because it will do more than
anything else to kill off Benton, and they
modestly ask Benton's friends to assist them.
They tried to bind the Benton men, during
the Jefferson City Convention, to vote for
Green. They were told it would not take;
that if they nominated Green he would be,de-
teated-"they took no part in his nominal
ton, and will not be responsible for his de-
feat. = Boonville Observer.

THE Stick OF CANDY.-Gen. Pierce was
first spoken of in connexion with the Pres
idency at the Loco State convention in New
Hampshire some time last winter, and that
body adopted a resolution requesting their
delegates to bring him forward as candi-
date. Gov. Steele, in addressing the con-
vention, expressed his qualification at the
selection, and related the following anecdote
to "exhibit the character Of the man." We
give it in the Governor $ own words:
Sir" said Gov. st eele, II have known
the whole career Of General Pierce, from the
day he first took his seat in this hall.
have admired his exploits in Congress and
in Mexico. But have an incident in nv
mind which will relate, which, in my hum
bic Judgment, exhibits the character of the
man in a more illustrious light than in all
his efforts in the forum or the field.
st was something more than twenty
years ago Gen. Pierce was then somewhat
younger than he is now he was travelling
through one of the western towns Of this
State, and as he entered the principal vii
lage he beheld three boys eating candy
AT brief distance he beheld another boy
SUING aloIle, ana llidC BOY was not eating,
but was crying. Gen. Pierce feeling inter
ested in SO strange circumstance, inquired
into the case, and ascertained that he was
crying because he had no money to buy
candy. No sooner had he learned the facts
in the case than, with that noble generosity
which has ever distinguished Pierce through
his whole life, he put his hand in his pocket,
drep forth a cent bought stick of candv,
and gaze ii 10 the boy, ALTHOUGH THE BOY
WAS \ TOTAL STRANGER TO GEN. PIERcE.''
His nomination for the Presidency. taken
in connection with such remarkable in
stance of benevoence and unbounded liber-
atty towards an entire stranger, must be
another illustration of the proverb that 'good
actions meet with their reward"
