the most impressive and spirited manner. The toasts

plause:
"By Gen. franklin Pierce. The COMPROMISE
Measures of 1850, and the New Hampshire Democ-
racy-Upon the former the latter have fixed the seal
of their emphatic appreciation. No North, no South
no East no West under the Constitution; but sa.

voon to the common brotherhood.
By Hon. Edmund Burke. The Democracy of the
Granite State-The invinci5le legion of the grand
Democratic Army of the Union-the flower Of the
Democratic chivalry."

less attachment to the Constitution and the Union,
and lifelong devotion to the principles of the Demo-

The Young Men Of New Hampshire-U nseduced

quately rewarded by the party that is largely its
debtor.
Our Standard Bearer TN the Presidential Campaign

may be selected, may he receive the united and
dial support of the entire party. Let all local and

Anterior, Wells, Potter, and others. In the course
of his remarks Mr.. Anterior said IS the w higs could
only keep the power by taking Democratic princi-
pies. President Fillmore, now chivalrous in de-
fence of the Union, went cheek by joe with
the aboiionists. Fanatc:-men of one idea in their
added brains, who would prostitute thepuIPit any
unholy purpose, who know nothing about politics
the science of government, and only talked for excite
ment. had received merited rebuke by this triumph
"A triumph gained principle. Never truckle
to circumstances, the only way to succeed"
The toast in favor of Gen. Pierce was responded
to by Mr.. Aver. He Z" alluded in glowing terms to
the past life and public services of Gen. Pierce to
his fidelity to the principles of the Democratic party,
and his ardent patriotism. He referred to the ap-
pointment rendered him by President Polk to seat
in his cabinet which declined and to his accep-
lance shortly after of commission in the Mexican
service. He spoke forcibiy of Gen. Pierce's brilliant
career and of the uniform testimony borne by all who
served with him, to his gaantry and good conduct.
Mr.. Aver also spoke of Gen. Pierce's exertions in
behalf of the Democratic party since his from
Mexico. Speaking of Gen. Pierce's connection with
the Atwood controversy. he stated remark made 10
him by Gen. Pierce before Atwood's nomination was
to this effect, that he would rather be in
minority with 5000 true in the State, than to be
in majority of thousands, if the victory was won
by dishonor.''
