TROUBLE IN THE CAMP.-The New
Hampshire Patriot, Gen Pierce's organ,
in his own State, mourns over the dis
affection in the Democratic ranks. In
its issue of June l4th, It employs this
emphatic language:
What are the charges constantly
made by these factcious men, against
the President? They assert that he has
filled large portion OF the Offices with
Northern ubolltionlst and Southern dis-
unionist-tha he has forfeited his pledy-
es and betrayed the party by comforting
Offices upon the enemies OF the Demo-
cratic platform-that he has sacrificed
the interests of the party to promote his
own ambitious views. These are the
charges made against Frank Pierce, by
men calling themselves New Hampshire
Democrats.
Such, according to the Patriot, are
the charges brought against the Pfcsi-
dent by his own party, in his own State,
Ly men who know him best. They say,
" he sacrificed The interest Of The pd1ty
TO PROMOTE HIS OWN AMBITIOUS VIEWS"
Let the Democracy throughout the
country ponder these things. - Boston
