Gen. Pierce The Co promise.

With men of comm non honesty and
dlscernment, the history of General
Pierce S votes and public ly expressed
opinions, upon the sui iect Of the
movements of abolition fanatics. and
others, in petitioning Congress to
abolish slavery, &c, is sufficient to
satisfy them of his SO lndness and
reliability on the Compro mise. With
such no additional eyide nce~is want
ing to leave the mind free of doubt
as to the true whereabouts of Gen.
Pierce upon the slavery question
and the Compromise But the weak
minded brethren, inflated with an
overflow of bitterness and unfairness
towards the democracy and their can
didates, call out for even stronger evi-
dence. Well, come thru st your hand
in his side, and be convinced Read
the following extract from a letter
Gen. Pierce wrote a friend in Va,
"a short time before the meeting of
the Democratic Convention:
"If the Compromise Measures are
i ct to be substantially and firmly
maintained, the plain rights guaran-
tied by the constitution: viii be tram
pied in the dust. What difference
can it make to you or me whether
the outrage shall seem to fall on
South Carolina, or Maine, or New
Hampshire? Are not the rights OF
each clearly dear to US all? l will
never yield to craven spirit that,
from considerations Of policy, which,
will endanger the Union. Entertain
ing these views, the action Of the
convention must, in my Judgment,
be vital. five of the North, who
have stood BY the constitutional
rights of the South, are to be aban-
doned to any time serving policy,
the hopes Of democracy aad of the
Union must sinh together. As |
have told you, my name will not be
before the convention, but l cannot
help feeling that what is there to be
done, will be import ant beyond men
and parties transcendently import
ant to the hopes of the democracy,
progress andIpublic liberty"
In addition to the foregoing, please
read the following u nequaled senti-
ment, offered by Gen Pierce at a re-
cent Democratic Festival in New
Hampshire:
"By Gen. Franklin Pierce-The
Compromise Measures Of 1850 and
the New Hampshire Democracy
Upon the former the latter have
fixed the seal of their emphatic ap-
probation. No North, no South, no
East, no West, under the constitu-
ton; but sacred maintenance oflhe
common bond, and IL rue devotion to
common brotherhood

Enthusiasts. With the very open
ing of the canyass, the political horis
zon of old Lincoln is beginning to
be bespangled with the ray of ap-
preaching victory, and an out burst
of the enthusiasm Of 1874. We
congratulate the democracy upon
the prospect before US, and the indi-
cation of a return of the zeal of our
party Of that Date, in all its pure
partizan fire. We look back to
those days with pride and exultation
and their speedy return is our
daily desire. Lets. have the party
lines distinctly dravn-let each know
its force and its fiends-no compro-
missing principles for the sake of office.
Devotion to the true interests of the
country, should be the rule Of action
for every voter wing or democrat.
Discard men, and cling 10 measures
be this our motto, now and forever.
