Gen. Pierce's Policy.

There seems to be a growing dis>atist,c-
ton manifested both North and South, at the
course pursued hv Gen Pierce in relation
TO his appointments. He came into office as
a oompromi<c man. Durin. the canvass
much was said about the importAnrc Of the
Union. tn" dangers to which it was exposed
ana the necessity of uni;in. to save it from
dissolution. We were tod that Northern
Free >o!rrS aud Southern <cc->>;oii>r> we've
both hostile To the p-rmanencv oflhr Il pub
he that they We're both pnrSuin. a course
which. II not rrbuhcd, would DESTROY the last
hope OF tr'empn. And Gen. Pierce was
held up as the man, who above all others.
would retuke all tactionists, North and South.
and use tn" intlucnc" of his position to su>-
tain the Union, and the men devoted to its
interests.
But IN the very formation of his cabinet
he took to his bosom one at the most ultra
opponents OF the compromise ; and from that
day to the present, he has made very many
Of his selections for Office from the Di>unicn-
ISIS of the South. and the Free Soilers of
the North. This has given offence to the
old line Democrats in every section of the
country, many of whom speak ont in plain
terms against the policy of the President.
In his own State, there is no small share
Of discomfort. Hon. Edmond Burke is ont
upon the policy Of the President. while his
organ at Concord has as much as it can do
to defend Gen. Pierce from the attacks Of the
t>Ithtnl. We do not intend to interfere in
this contest between Mr. Burke and the Pa
trio'. and allUdr to it now only to show the
trouble which exists IN the camp Com
plants from other parts Of the Union are
equally Distinctive
To shoxour readers that the policy of the
present administration is fully understood,
and justly appreciated in other parts Of the
country we give the following from the Fin
castle (Va) Whig-AhaS.
FREE SOIL APPOINTMENT The mani
testations OF dissatisfaction ty Union Demo
Gratis on account of the Presidents partiaIifv
for free Sellers and StcesSionists, have in
duccd the Washington Union and other lead
inc party papers to explain the motive OF the
recent Executive appointments. These Jour-
mails ascribe the Presidents selection for Of
fee to desire to cement the Democracy, thus
admitting that the party is held together by
the cohesive power of the public plumber"
The Fredericksburg News makes the follow
ing iudIciouS remarks on the subject:
The motive was evident enough But the
question is, whether TIE preservation of the
Democratic organization should be the lead
inc object OF the President For our part
We had supposed he would make it his aim to
promote the national welfare, Whether that

Female DeIica ey.

"Above every other feature which
adorns the female charact ter, delicacy
stands foremost within the province
of good taste. Not that delicacy
which is perpetually in quest of some
thing to be ashamed of, which makes
merit of a blush, and shippers at the
false construction its own Ingenuity
has put upon an innod ent remark;
this spurious kind of delicacy is as
far removed from good tast e as from
good feeling a nd good 8 nse; but the
high minded delicacy which main
tains its pure and unde waiting walk
alike amongst women as in the socie-
ty of men, Which shrink 5 from no ne
cessary duty, and can speak, when
required, with seriousne IS and kind
ness Of things at which it would be
ashamed to smile or blu4 h-that del
icacy which knows how to confer a
benefit without wo unding the feelings
of another, and which understands
also how and when to receive one

catalogue Of crime, are employed at
the different branches of mechanism,
which, by association, has a direct ten

Same ratio, to lower the mechanical

the erection of penitentiaries by the

pose Of erecting those prison -houses
