The MILK IN THE Cocoa NUT.-It will be in the
recollection of our readers, that Mr.. Nathaniel
Hawthorn, of Scarlet Letter fame, during the Pre-
sidontial campaign, published a pleasant romance,
entitled a g Life of Gen. Pierce.'' Those who
were acquainted with the proclivites of Hawthorn,
naturally attributed the apparently singular UNDER
taking to the love of fiction prevailing in the breast
OF the author while others presumed that the ap
pearance of the book was mere matter of dollars
and cents, the result of bargain between the
writer and publishers for certain amount OF COM
position upon given subject. 1t appears both
were mistaken, and that the design of the novelist
in creating past for Gen. Pierce was to Law the
foundation for a future for Nathaniel Hawthorn
1t is now announced that the latter gentleman is
candidate-and persevering one-for the office of
Collector OF the port of Boston, under the admins.
tratlon. He pleads his cause, doubtless, and urges
his claims with pertinacity and volubiity Hav,
ing proved his creative genius he desires to reap
his reward, and the Life" is his mediator with
the sweets of Office, having held a subordinate
situation in the Salem custom house, and he de-
eires to renew his acquaintance with executive
patronage We do not see but his claim upon the
General is valid, and one which, in honor and
gratitude, he should not overlook. To secure the
nomination of Pierce was of course something;
butthe task was rendered easy by the dissensions
among the old aspirants; to make stump speeches,
write newspaper articles, canvass districts, and do
the other labor of the campaign, might be all
well enough in its way, and deserving of consid-
real full volume-to give him history.
and max the story of his life into book, was a
Hercuean undertaking, and certainly deserves a
richer reward than all the rest. We only wonder
