What Pierce's Friends Say!

The Richmond Wing calls the public at
tention to the precious confession by the
Richmond Enquirer that ''there is no safety
in nominal Democratic maiorities in Con-
gress." These majorities. it is further con-
fessed, require the constant dread, if not the
frequent application of the veto power to
keep them in their own ranks! In the case
of the "Harbor and River Bill Of the late
session." it seems, the Democrats of the
State-rights school, found themselves de-
serted by 'those their former bounty fed, "
whom in its wrath, the Enquirer denounces
as ga flinching or speculating minority" se-
duced from the Democratic fold by selfish or
sectional feelings But this confession is
too instructive as whole for us to allow
any part of it to be kept back from our
readers. Here is the entire extract, there
fore, as we find it quoted in the Wing:
From the Richmond Enquirer.
"Now is the time to give proper direc-
tion to the sentiments of our new voters.-
They will plant themselves firmly by our
platform, if our presses, and our writing
and talking friends will speak out loudly in
true Democratic appeals. The history of
the last session of Congress teaches us un-
mistakeably that there is no safety in nomi-
nal Democratic maiorities in Congress-
UnreStrained by the veto, we have found
that men calling themselves Democrats leave
us upon nearly every measure addressed to
their selfish or sectional feelings, and upon
all measures involving heavy expenditures
of money. The majority of our party in
Congress have generally proven true TO our
platform and principles; but we have as gen.
orally been defeated by flinching or spec
ulating minority of them cooperating with a
solid body of Wings. Look at the votes
upon the Harbor Bill, and upon the details
of almost every heavy appropriation bill,
and you find this to be true. This would
not have been the case if we had had true
Democrat in the Presidential chair; if the
exercise of the veto power had even been
apprehended; for the people have always
sustained it. and will continue to sustain it
when welded TO check the extravagances
and usurpations of federal legislation
Wavering Democrats will be slow to make
issue upon it at the POLLS"

Wilmot and John Buren,.

Some people, says the Washington Re-
public, pretend to believe that the world
will come to an end if Gen. Scott should be
elected President, because he will be voted
for by Mr.. Seward.
We would call the particular attention of
gentlemen thus easily frightened to the an
nexed paragraph from the New York Even
ing Post of the 10th ult., the leading Demo-
CRATIC journal in the Northern States:
PoLrTIcs IN PESNsYLvAN1A:-Th De-
mocracy of Bradford county, Pennsylvania,
held meeting at Towanda, on Saturday, the
llth inst, which was numerously attended.
The meeting was briefly addressed by Da-
vid WiImot, who introduced 10 the assembly
John Van Buren,, who followed in a speech
of an hour and half's length. The nomi-
nation of Pierce and King was unanimously
and enthusiastically responded to, and, un-
less our accounts are erroneous, every De-
mocratic elector In Mr.. Wilmot's district
who voted for Mr.. Van Buren, in 1S4S will
now support the Baltimore nominations.
Mr.. Van Buren, was also at Scranton
SI'''ollIiail county, VII nlOLi'ill evening"
the 18th.
a large meeting of the Democrats of the
northwestern part Of Pennsylvania is ap-
pointed TO be held at Great Bend, Susque-
hannah county on the I'd prox. Mr.. Will
mot, Mr.. Van Buren, and w. Grow, NJ. c.,
have promised TO attend.
Mr.. Dickens and Mr.. Buchanan are also
invited. We cannot doubt the success of
the Democratic electoral ticket in Pennsyl l.
vania, although it is but fair to apprize our
friends in that State that here Wings claim
Pennsylvania for Scott, and bet upon it.
And yet in the face of these glaring facts,
and ten thousand other such, among the
veriest Abolitionists and Freesoilers of the
North, Gen. John B. Clark is denouncng
Gen. Scott, the early friend Of the Compro-
prise, and aiding Wilmot, Van Buren s. Co.
to elect Gen. Pierce. Verify, the fool-kil-
Ter should catch all such men.

B7A German Democratic meeting was
held in Cincinnati last week for the condem-
nation of the secret Locofoco society, the
existence of which was brought to light a
few weeks ago in that city. Addresses
were made by Mr.. Romelin, German, late
Democratic State Senator from Cincinnati,
and, at the close of the proceedings, hro
hundred and toHy-t1co Germans, who had
previously been strong Democrats, signed a
declaration that they had been misled as to
the character and the objects of the Wing
party, and that, at the next election they
will ''vote the Wing ticket, and nothing but
the Whig ticket" The list has been pub
lished in the Cincinnati Volksbots, a paper
which, IN every past canvass, has been 4
jealous Democratic organ, but which is
now opposing the Democratic nominations.

Fanny Indignant.

Ladies have probably seen the floating
paragraph, which declares, that the "best
thing a man can possess is an amiable wife,"
and another, which recommends wives 10
always look cheerful in the presence of their
husbands, because ga husband likes to be
considered the source of his wife's happi-
ness and the sight of a smiling wife flat
ters' him; and they may have seen a third,
equally ridiculous, which announces ''that
the tear of loving girl is like dew-drop
on a rose; but on the check of wife, is a
drop of poison to her husband" These
paragraphs have justly excited the indigna-
ton Of Fanny Fern, who, in late number
of the Boston OliUe Brunch relieves her
mind in the manner following:
'lt's an ill wind that blows nobody any
good' Papas will be happy to hear that

monial tears are poison There's no know

The Way a Soldier Talks.

General Alexander B. Bradford, of Holly
Springs, Mississippi, recently delivered a
speech before the Scott Club of Memphis,
by special invitation, in which he reviewed
at some length speech lately made in the
same city by C9lenel jefferson Davis, of his
State-in which Davis assailed the military
conduct of General Scott in regard to his
manGuvres in Mexico. Davis spoke of
General Scott as being proud petulant, vain
and presumptuous; General Bradford, who
knows Scott well, both personally and as a
commander, and is himself as brave and
daring and officer as ever met the enemies
of his country upon a battlefield. thus re-
viewed Jefferson Davis's speech. He
knows Scott well, and does not look at his
glorious acts and achievements through the
jaundiced eye of a personal and political op-
ponent, as Col. Davis does. He speaks
what he knows, and testifies to what he has
seen; and we commend the following short
and eloquent review to the special consider
alton of all who, like Col. Davis. are dis
posed to criticisc with undue severity the
actions of the glorious old thunderer who
has borne his country's banner to the breeze
of hundred dangerous and death-dealing
battles.-[ Franklin (Tenn.) Review.

"HANG PIERCE, TOO, COLONEL. Col.
Jefferson Davis recently made political
speech before the Granite Club of Mem
phis. As the report goes he first pitched
INTO Gen. Scott, and then alluded to Mr..
Graham in this wise:-"He believed Mr..
Graham was a gentleman of unimpeachable
honor. He could say nothing against him,
except that he was found in very bad COM
pany. Though Mr.. G.. had held several
very prominent stations, yet no act of his
had ever attracted his observation as to
make any marked impression, and he would
say TO him as Johnny Brown said of his dog
when asked why he was going to hang him
that he had never ''done anything!'-
YES" said John, "that is the reason am
going TO hang him." Here the speaker is
said TO have made one of those emphatic
pauses indicative that proper response is
desired from the audience. The response
was not delayed. A tall hunter from Tip
pah instantly exclaimed: "Hang Pierce, too

reply convulsed the audience and confound,

GEoRGIA.-Hon. John Mcpherson Ber-

ReueHle, of the llth ult., as follows:
1t affords us sincere pleasure TO be enabled
to communicate to our readers that our dis
tinguished and highly esteemed friend, Hon.
J. Mcpherson Berrien, will support the
regular Wing nominations of Scott and Gra-
ham. Mr.. Berrien, from recent family af-
ilictions, and for other causes, cannot take
an active part in the canvass; but, as a Wing,
he feels IN honor bound to sustain the regtl-
lar nominees of that party. This simple an
nouncement will carry joy to the hearts OF
thousands oftrue Wings, not only in Geor-
gia, but throughout the entire South. II
will endear him especially, we doubt not,
to the Wings of the "Old North State
whose iavorite statesman is on the same
ticket with Gen. Scott, and whose faithful
ness to the South we all personally know.

"Col. Davis told YOU, fellow-citizens that
in all of these qualities which command the
affections and confidence of those around
him, Gen. Scott is singularly wanting-be-
ing proud petulant, vain and presumptuous.
If it be proud TO pay strict attention to the
wants of the poor soldier-to visit the drea-
ry and pestilential hospital and wipe the
moisture from the tevered brow of the sick
TO wait upon the cholera patients of the
army-to Iaise the dying soldier from his
CORY bed on the battlefield and staunch his
bleeding wounds-ifit be proud to do these
things, then Gen. Scott is a very proud a We
ry naughty man! If it be pefuldnt to curb
the restless and unruly officers of the army
to hold them down with hand Of iron.
and make them behave themselves like
good soldiers and gcntlemen-lf it be petu-
liant to be tight on the officers but good to
men'-if this be petulant then General Scott
is something of petulant and peevish man.
fit is rain to apparel himself on the eve of
a battle according to the rules and regula-
tions of the service, with his golden epau-
lettes on his shoulders and his tall plume
towering above him, so that friend and foe
may know his grade, and then to plunge in
to battle where the conflict is fiercest. where
the bullets rain thickest, and where the car
mage RACES deadliest-if this be vain. am
afraid Gen. Scott is very vain-glorious
man. Tremendous applause If to know
that he possesses as much skill prompti-
tude, and judgment as any man of the age
in planning a campaign, reducing fortress,
or in drawing the programme of pitched
battle, so'clear in'is details, so auspicious OF
success, that it would seem as if the victory
was won before the battle is fought-if this
be pres,umpiuouS, then we must conclude.
with Col. Davis, that General Scott is also
very presuming man." Cheers.

great objection which the Democratic papers

was, that his nomination was urged, and
that he is supported by Northern Free Soil

out OF vanity, watch-chain suspended from
bullet in his fob. Having the curiosity TO
Investigate the fact, he walked purposely by
him, one morning, and said: WHY, cor
pOral, you are brave fellow to have saved
enough to buy a watch" "Sire," said the
corporal, Il ilatter myself l am brave, but
as for my watch it is of little signifcation." )"
Pulling out his splendid gold watch, the
King continued; 'By my time piece it is FIVE;
what is it by yoursY" '"The corporal pull
ing out his bullet with trembling hand, re-
piled: my watch tells me neither five nor
SIN; but shows me clearly that l must be
ready any time to die for your majesty" A
smile lighted up the unusually stern ooun-
tenanoe of the king. Keep then, your
time-pleee," said he, "since it reminds YOU
oi your duty; and accept mine aiso," throw
ing the chain over his neck, Sin token that
your king appreciates and can reward the
loyalty and devotion of gallant soldier"
