ton with which have been honored.
Throughout a long public life I am not

here to them faithfully and zealously-per-
fectly satisfied that the prosperity Of our
common country and the permanency Of our
free institutions can be promoted and pre-
served only by administering the government
10 strict accordance with them.
TIE platform as laid down BY the conveu-
ton meets with my cordial appreciation. Il
is national in all its parts; and / am content
not only to stand upon it, but on all occasions
to defend il.
For the very dattering terms in which you
have been pleased, gentlemen, to characterize
my public services. / feel that / am indebted
to the personal regard which I am proud to
know you individually entertain for me, and
that you greatly overrate them. The merit |

Carolina, ten to one. The Richmond (Va)
Examiner, leading Democratic journal,
which goes for slavery in the abstract, says Of
him:
No fact is better known about Mr.. Pierce,
than that he has ever held correct views Of the
sectional questions; that he is a steady oppo-
nent Of Northern fanaticism and that both
in and out Of the Senate he has always oc-
cupied a position satisfactory TO Southern
men. He is one Of those Northern Demo
Gratis who have always stood BY the Constitu-
ton in dealing with slavery, true to the right
in storm and sunshine, in evil and good re-
pute, careless of popular favor, scornful Of
desertion, and infexible in their own resolve,

the nomination Of Mr.. Pierce is now made.
Once more we appeal 70 our Free-soil Dem

paramount question he is and always has
been directly and vitality opposed to you.

in favor Of Land Reform, no word 10 favor Of
placing the Government Of the United States,
10 its foreign relations and negotiations, on
the side Of the Democratic Principle in Eu-
rope-no word in favor Of just protection to
the river and lake commerce Of the West, a
commerce more valuable than all our foreign
trade; but, with a single exception, it refers
to old issues, which either have been settled,
or no longer constitute questions between the
two parties; and the exeeption-the only
new article in the Platforms adverse TO all
your convictions, abhorrent to all your SYM
pathies.
On what principle, in what way, BY what
device Of reason or sOphistry, can you justify
to yourselves or to others. the support Of such
a platform. such a nomination Is a man
bound to go with his party, right or wrong ?
Can he not refuse, openly and manfully, to
support it when it does wrong, when il calls
upon him to vote on a wrong issue. and g
