ministratiun, In so distributing the
executive appointments as to make
friends of the most ultra Secessionists and
Free Sellers, is beginning to have its le-
gitimutc effect among the staunch Com.
promise Democrats, who have stood firm
in all emergencies. Their pride is
wounded They feel indignant that the
fatted calf should be killed for the re-
turning prodigal only, while they, who
have always been sober and faithful have
been treated only to common fare.
This feeling openly manifested itself
in the recent Democratic State Convcn-
tion at Concord, N H.-Piercc's own
home. So strong was this feeling, that
even the chairman of the committee on
Resolutions reported, as one of the regu.
lar series, resolution of censure, in sub
stance, on the President, for deserving
the great body of his party, to run in
to the embrace of returning stragglers,
who long ago left the camp That we
do not ovcrstatc this matter, will appear
from the following, which we copy from
the Montpelier Patriot--whose editor of
course feels himself particularly hit by
the resolution in question, and who, as a
consequence, is especially fierce on the
unfortunate Mr.. Burke:
We notice" says the Patriot, "that
EDMUND BURKE, of Newport, attempted
to pass through the convention a resolu-
ton, Uirtually, of ccnSurc upon the
President. The resolution as introduc.
ed by Mr. Edmund Burke, chairman of
the committee on Resolutions, was MS
follows:
5th-Resolvcd That we encourage
ourselves with the belief that our dis
tinguished fellow.citizeu, now at the
head of the government of the United
States, will not in his appointments ov-
crlook the old guard of the democratic
party, upon whom he must rely for sue
cessful support in all the emergencies
which may arise in the progress of his
administration.
1T appears, however, that rs origin.
ally drafted by Mr. Burke, the word 'fu.
ture" was inserted before appointments,
and the following words at the end
"Nor confer too many favors Oh those
who support the platform for one pur-
pose and spit upon it for another, and
who have no sympathy with the great
national democratic party or its princi-
pies"
Mr.. Burke and his sympathizers in
New Hampshire are not alone. The
Washington Cni0n--thc central organ
of the Dcmocracy--has already begun
the ominous task of Attempting to de-
fend the Administration against the dis
affection and wrath and its own partizans.
I'm the other hand the indictments arc
about starting an organ of their own
under its very nose. at Washington, to
be edited by distinguished Virginia
Democrat, aud Maj. Donelson, the form
q editor Of the Union and the adopted
son OF Andrew Jackson, is about start.

The Buffalo C0mglcrciaI says: The
uneasincss and disaffcction in this State,
growing out of the course of the admin.
istration, are deep and wide spread, as
every one knows. In almost all parts of
the country the same kind of feeling
prcvails-the degree differs in different
localities"

tie of lS46, and were only defeated by
means of the freesoilers, who are now so
petted and caressed by President PIERCE
who aided in carrying through the
Compromise-who prepared the Balti-
moro platform, and thereby contributed
to swell the majority by which General
FIERCE was borne into power-these
men, to whom he owed so much, are
treated with studied neglect, their pre-.
tensions contumeliously spurned, and
their enemies rewarded with the bulk of
the considerable places of trust and g.
molumcnt.. The Union party of the
South are manifestly under the ban of
the administration. The Cincinnati Ga.
