The National Democratic Convention has nominated
General FRANKLIN PIERCE, of New Hampshire for Pres
dent, and WILLIAM X. KING, OF Alabama, for Vice
President
Ii may be proper to state for the benefit of that old
fogyism" which is dissatisfied with greatness unless it
acquainted with its origin, that Franklin Pierce is the
Of Benjamin Pierce, who fought in The revolution,
sheriff OF Hsborough county, and democratic governor
of the State of New Hampshire. Franklin Pierce was
born in 1904 and is consequently foryeigh years Of age
He was oten member and speaker OF the State egsla-
ure-elected TO the House of Representatives of the
Union 10 1893, and TO the Senate oil the United States
1897, where he served till 1912, when he resigned He
afterwards refused The nomination (the dec
ten in thai Sa.e) OF governor and subsequently, declined
the appointment OF Attorney General oil the United States

He in the field long enough 10 prove himself sol
der; in the councils OF the nation long enough 10 show
