Quoted with great spirit, and is alive for the election
Of Gen. Pierce In reference to Gen. Pierce, it says:

party. and for the fidelity with which he has dscharg
ed the many trusts that have been reposed in his
hands In every station in which he has been placed,
he has proved himself an honorable, high mined, and
able statesman. Had he the reputation of julius
Cesar. or Bonaparte, for military skill, and if he
lacked those traits of character for which he is dis
tingushed, and nswhich his opponent is wholly de-
hcent, he would be utterly unworthy Of support

the look Of indignant contempt with which their
SANDERS received by those who know their fals

tone, and abaie of the lies with which the fed
eral presses teen. illuminated with the foulpst
abuse that be heaped upon his head, Pierce will
go into the Presidential chair to prove by his devo-
ton to the interests Of the whole country that the
patriotism Of another and past aye, is not yet ex-
lustrions Jackson, the citizen soldier and the able
civilian may be united with the most beneioent aad
glorious results.'
