Are we Jolly, or are we Not.'

The Erening Post well knows that the
Union does not contain bitterer or more pro.
scriptye Pro-SIayery Huuker than FRANKLIN
Pierce. For years he has been foremost in sitting
every aspiration for Freedom among the De-
mocracy' of New-IIampshire. lie insisted that
John F. Hale should be ostracised and crushed
because he refused to vote for the Annexa-
ton of Texas without stipulation that some
part of it's immense unsettled territory should
be secured for Free Soil. The Post has more
recently seen this same Frank Pierce deprive John
Atwood Of his nomination for Governor and drive
him out of the party for nothing else than express
sing a repugnance to the Fugitive Slave Law.
In all New-England, slavery and slaye-catching
have had no more INSCRIPTIONS thick-andthn
seryitor than this same Frank Pierce. Yet The
Post halls his nomination rs calculated "to df'
fuse general satisfaction among the Democratic
party" and contrasts it with that of any one Sc
lected
"from a class of candidates unfortunately con
nected with past dsseRsOns IN The party so suspicious
y associated with particular Interests to make the
nomination unacceptable ~ q considerable portion o.
the Democratic party in various parts OF the county
Nay: The Post, gaining hardwood by practice,
asserts that in Gen. Pierce
1--WE have u man who has done nothing to purchase
the Presidency, retired for the present from ponca
life and uReoamttted he questions nlieh for he biS
three or four years hare dirided hs Democratic pary
We really cannot see why one who does n''
stick at these assertions night not as well have
claimed Fortunes fayorite as Free Sober out
right.
The Post, on the whole, rather thinks Pierce
is in favor of the Compromise, but adds,
cit Il one thing however, 70 accept the Compronse,
and another 70 pledge the influence authority and ps
ronsge of the Chief Msgsrscy 70 accomplish the 20
ltca destruction Of tbOse by whom the wha
pass by that name were dsapproyed."
Now this " other" is exactly what Pierce hs
been doing for the last six or eight years. Tue
be has not had the patronage Of the Chief MagS
tracy" to WELD but he has managed the Deme
cratic organization Of New. Hampshire, and mss
welded all its influence, authority and patronage
to accomplish the political destruction Of tl0's
by whom the measures which pass BY that nsDs
were disepproved"-just exactly that. Tie ~"
indicates an Office which he has not filed and '.
trust rM not fill; but whatever power he a''
has been welded in the exact manner dePTesaN'
by The Post.
