Richmond daily Whig. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1842-1861, 1853-07-18


In the language of true prof. hecy, the

known, the prediction made that the elements
combining effect the election of Gen Pierce would
prove destructive Of the harmony, if not of the ex

until the time for dividing their ill-gotten booty

Southern Disunionists-that he has forfeited his
pledges and betrayed the party, by comforting Offices
upon the enemies Of the Democratic PLATFORM
that he has sacrificed the interests Of the party TO
promote his own ambitious yiews-and unkndest

against Frank Pierce, calling themselves New

The Virginia Democracy are bravey trying to
