Response to the Nominations.

. =
1t is with satisfaction and with an inspired
spirit of confidence we read and learn from all
parts of the country, of the hearty and unani-
nous response to the nominations of PIERCE
and KING. The whole Democracy rejoice
They have reason SO to do. The noble feeling
of patriotism-the remarkable and praisewor-
thy spirit of concession the marked enthusiasm
which pervaded that Convention, as exhibited
in the making of The nominations as State
after State responded most willingly and elo-
quently to the selection of standard bearer
from the old Granite Hills of New Hampshire;
are but the genuine and most truthful repre-
sentalion of The ses-not only in New Eng
land who delights to honor her favorito PIERCE,
but also throughout the length and breadth
of this great, growing, AMI peaceful Republic.
We may with just pride exult, that from the
hills of our own New England-from the land
of the Pilgrims the first home of the 'sbrave
and Free Chief Magistrate is selected to gov
ern this intelligent and populous nation and
we speak with confidence, when we say, that
from our own beloved New England, will
go forth to the world, a response to the selec-
ton, which will be alike honorable to New
England's sons as it will be to our brethren of
the South, East and West, who have SO unani
mously brought forward and pledged their sup
port to the patriotic and talented New Hamp-
shire statesman, FRANKLIN PIERCE. We made
no claim in Convention-we had none. The
best interests of the whole democratic party,
was our plea, and on this plea we met all and
every issue. The Convention was actuated by
the same feeling. They were determined to
unite on candidate in whom all had conf
.dence-one around whom the achole party could
rally, thereby securing success The worthy
candidates presented before them were all
''good men and true'-any of whom we should
willingly have supported, and been pleased 10
see in the Presidential chair the delegates
from the different sections of the country had
their favorite candidates to present, which was
done, and they were valiantly and properly
sustained; but the Convention was determined
in case of failure to agree on any one of these
candidates, to rally and unite on some one ac-
ceptable to the masses generally-one who
would concentrate in one focus the support of
the whole party. They did so-and most no.
bly, they did the work assigned them--and
most successful will be the result. In this
work the democrats of Maine will be found ac-
tive, visilant, and faithful. They have already
raised the standard-unfurled their banner to
the breeze, and will fight manfully the battle
for PIERCE and KING, and will achieve VIC
TORY worthy the indomilable sons of the "Pine
Tree State They are united to a man, and
as in the days of Jackson and Polk, will, with
swelling hearts and ready hands, rally around
their candidates, and on the broad, liberal and
wise platform adopted at Baltimore, meet all
and every issue, and gloriously achieve tri-
umph, similar to those of older times when
the inspiring names of JEFFERSON, JACKSON
and Polk, were nailed to the flag which proud
ly Aoated at the mast head.
The democracy of this country were never
more powerful than at the present time, and
never exerted greater influence, or had a
stronger hold OH the affections of the people,
The democratic pulse throbs high and warm,
anlmatlnS the whole body with healthy spir-
It, moving energy surely indicative of unpar-
alleled and glorious success. With this state
OF feeling, we go into the contest. With most
perfect maion-a determined spirit to contend.
as one united body, for the success of our ,rin-
ciples, which we have spread before the world
our success is certain-THE VICTORY Is OURS.
