is to challenge his vote, on the ground that

JusrIcE To THE DEAD.-We notice in
some OF the paFtizan papers comparison
between the late President Polk and Gen.
Pierce, in which great injustice is done to
the former. Both were neaabers Of Con,
gress at the same time, and the journals OF
the four years they were in the House
show their relative standing and influence
| in that body. Mr. Polk was son selected
as chairman ot the most important com
mittee of tho house-that OF Ways and
Means; and during the last two years was
speaker Of the House, where bis great abili
Inv was admitted By all parties. Gen
| Pierce never was member of any lmpor
liant committee, either OF the House or Sen
late. AZ anv one will see by referring to th'
Journals of Congress. We have no ohjoc'
tion 10 seeing the most ample justice dom
10 the General by his supporters, bat in
securing their own ends they should net d
1ininstice 10 tho memory OF Mr., Polk, wh
occupied very different rank in point o
ability and craftsmanship. Manchester

he saws that he is a democrat and yet in

ever since. With such an experience, and an in
flexible determination to serve the public faith
fully with the best in his line, Sam solicits of
his numerous friends share of their patronage.
A large sum has been expended in fitting up this
Saloon and providing its Bar with the choicest Lii
quors that can be procured. Servants, well known
for their excellent qualities, have been employed,
including the very best cooks. The Larder will
always be supplied with the choicest Fish and
Game; and the Oysters served are obtained ex-
clusively for this establishment-in short no ex-
pense or trouble will be spared to render this Sa-
loon worthy the patronage of this liberal and ju-
dicious community. nov22
