Abdicated !

We find the following in the last BAN
ner." Our old neighbor has "progressed''
too rapidly for old fogydom. His trip to the
East last summer opened his eyes, and let
fall the scales of fogyism which had so long
obscured his vision. He returned and
came out regular Young America, Central
Pacific Railroad, and for Nebraska. This
was "Hoo big a boo for a COLT too much
progress too Bertoniac for this latitude
and he lays down the scissors and the
quill as follows:
Having been absent for several weeks,
| have necessarily been unable to give any
attention 10 the columns OF this paper; and
my engagements will be such that any con-
nection with it will not be desirable, either
on the part Of the proprietor or myself
Another and better reason is that important
questions Of State and National policy have
arisen, i'll which | shall feel compelled to
advocate a course which would be con-
demned by majority OF the patrons of this
paper | am an advocate of progress, of a
policy which will lead to the earliest posi-
bic development of all the resources Of this
great country. cannot say that majority
of the democracy of this section differ with
me in general sentiment of this kind, yet
my advocacy of railroad enterprises and the
settlement Of Nebraska Territory have met
with objections which renders my contnu-
ance as the editor of this paper inudicous.
In regard to the Pacific Railroad i have had
but one opinion, and that in favor of its con-
struction upon the Central Route, from the
frontier of this State and by the General
Government. This route have freely ad-
vocaed as journalist, and cannot occupy
a position that will require me 10 be silent
or the subject. Both these subjects will
enter largely in the coming political can
vass in This State, and | am apprehensive
that | should find myself in false position
in the editorial chair of this paper. For
these reasons, any of which are sufficient
cause for my retirement, take my leave
of the Banner, with my best wishes for its
prosperity, and the happiness and welfare
of its patrons, 1t will flourish under the
auspices of its proprietor in degree TO
which il has never attained, and WELD an
influence such as l could, perhaps, never
give it. With these brief remarks take
my leave OF tina Banner and its patrons.

Intrigues for the Presidency.

We have read nothing Of late, says the
Springfield (Ills.) Journal, ore damaging
to the character of Gen. Pierce, than the
exposure of Mr.. Edmund Burke in relation
to his nomination to The Presidency. Mr..
Burke is without question the ablest demo-
cratic politician in New Hampshire. He
has formerly held high Offices under the gov
ernment, and is now one of the main pillars
OF the democratic party. He may be said
10 have been Of the body guard of the Pres
ident, and from his own accounts the chief
flgleman behind the curtain that rose upon
his nomination.
Mr.. Burke quarrelled with the admins
tration because he would never agree to the
Freesoil coalitions it has formed-and he
now shows how much Pierce is indebted to
him (Burke) for the intrigues that made
him President When the reader peruses
the disclosures" he may perhaps call to
mind Picrce'S recorded expression of "sur-
prise" when his nomination was announced
to him by his friends; also the opening pas
sage of his inaural, where he declared the
Office came to him unsolicited! 1t is rich
chapter, and we hope no one will fail to
rcadit and grow wise thereby.
Mr.. Burke says:
"During the session of Congress in which
the Presidential nomination was made, nu.
merous gentlemen belonging to the demo-
cratic party, from all parts of the Union,
came 10 Washington with a view to that
event. We saw very many of them from
almost every State in the Union. And for
months before the Baltimore Convention
we took especial pains TO see and converse
with these gentlemen on the subject of the
Presidential nominations. We took pains,
on all occasions, to suggest the name of
Gen. Pierce as compromise candidate, in
the event that the convention should not
agree on either of the three prominent gen.
temen named in connection with the office.
We saw and conversed with from fifty to
one hundred of the leading politicians of
the Union upon the subject, on all occasions
introducing the name Of Gen. Pierce.
After satisfying our own mind that Gen.
Pierce could be nominated, we wrote 10
Gen. Pierce, our views and opinions a
length, expressing our belief that he could

quiet this slavery agitation and il was hailed
with joy throughout the length and breadth
of the land; and it was considered MS most
auspicious TO the final settlement of that
vexed question, and the indefinite continu-
ance of our Union, that both the great poit-
cal parties by their conventions had adopted
as finaliiy the compromise measures"
Bronson says he stands on the platform,
and approves of the inaugural address, but
that he found nothing in them about distri-
buting offices. Why was he turned out, and
a freesoi ally appointed? The platform,
says the Evening Post, of New York "was
not adopted by The convention that nominal
ed Mr.. Pierce, in such manner as to give
it weight sit was not heard by half the
people on the floor, and not voted for by
half the rest" That paper supported
Pierce, but did not recognize the platform.
John Van Buren,, the Prince of Freesollers,
also supported Pierce, but when asked
about the platform, said sit was good enough
for this election" Now this same class of
freesoilers are holding Offices under the ad-
mnistration, and it is turning out national
democrats because more of them are not
provided for. And the "Banner" is uphold
ing the administration! Well, we can only
watch the progress of these events: they
promise food, for reflection and comment,
and also gives indication of some sport
We shall see how the factions in this State
fall together. The ST. Louis Democrat,
Benton's organ, and the Banner" Atchi.

GENTLEMEN: As must, of necessity, be
absent from the city, l cannot accept your
invitation to attend the celebration of the
approaching anniversary of American In
dependence. When the several States shall
learn to mind their own business, without
meddling in the affairs of others land shall be
faithful to the Constitution as it is, without
rejecting any part of it, the Union will stand
too strong for its enemies, without and
within. And when the Democracy shall
build again on its foundations, without con-
structing new platforms TO catch the factions
of the day, it will regain ITS ascendency in
the State and in the nation. Presuming that
your Society proposes to bring about these
important ends, | am with cordial good
wishes, truly yours.
