washington. Friday, Oct. 81, 1853,
The manly tone of the letters ofBronsOn and Conor
have inflicted blow upon this pieb-d Aiminstr4i ion
which makes It reel 1t was weak and wicked enouGb
before in lie eyes Of honest men, but there is large
class Of people partly anxious to be right bu. 50 aet
ed Will political blindness that they nothing
Until they are actually kicked from behind These
have had their vision opened; and they behold the
Great Baltimore Platform knocked 10 shivers, rotten,
worm-eaten-bult upon foundation Of lies and politi
cal lusts. Tie signs of the times are cheering Old
things are passing away Tho people viii finally learn
that party names aud cries gre used in the main
only IS cloaks for base ard selfish purposes How many,
think you Of the misguided men who boosted + Pierce
from lis cbscurity in New Hampshire to the Presidency
Of the United States could give intelligent e1plans-
ton Of what constitutesthe Baltimore Platform How
many-outsde Of the little troop who most inteihgenty
spit upon il = ,
calibre ard common fine says one Peter g. Washing
ton invariably loads and touches il Oh This accounts
for the SecretaTys laLeItable negligence IN not pro
tecting his rear when he fired On Collector BronsC1
The Collectors shot les certainly made hole IN ihe
political skinner which all the tnkers IN the land
can't mend Tie Collector carries big gun, an hon
est iudependcnt gun and be fires il with deliberate
aim II Pierce could turn out Glthrie and appoint
Bronson in his place, he would show deal OF good
sense Mr. Guthrie was little known here up TO the
4h Of March, except agent for heavy claim, IN
which he was partially successful. Still he does not
suffer in comparison with other members OF the Cab-
net-omittne Marcy, and the cunning Yankee Cushing,
the Executive Engineer
Tie smallest, meanest, and most incompetent mem
bCr Of the Cabinet is undoubtedly James Campbell
DO you know why Pierce appointed him against the
remembrance Of 80 many good Democrats Ask John
Hughes. Inquire at Philadelphia.
IL no use for the Hard Shells to endelyOr to discOn-
rect Pierce from tie course Of the Cabinet and The
BashinftOR UaiOr. They might well rid Themselves
of that deusion first last, for they have got the
President as sure astlo Devil had Judas Iscarot Why
don't they come out ard publish the pledges which
Pierce gaze them at tie time 81 bis nomination Why
don't the Webster men do the samel | am informed
by Democratic authority that such pledges made
There are various schemes foot On hand here,
elsewhere to depete the Treasury and for he salts
fiction If persons abroad who anxious on the sub
ect, cen mention that no fears need be entertained
that the thing may not be accomplished. 1t viii be
found the most popular measure That has yet been
started II il doubtful, however, whether the patient
creditors of the Government get their dues from t.
Polk vetoed the bill 10 pay our citizens for French
spOiations and Pierce would hardly dare 70 the
old track-tie "pr0grCss Of Democracy being "Oa-
uGyd /" il s not thought that any OF the money viii
be needed TO help the Pacific Railroad since the modest
subscription Of SIO,JOOOOJ BY 4 j. Walker. 1t Is
odd enough the circumstance that Mr.. Walker was a
bankrupt when be took Office under Polk, AM now is
able 10 put his name opposite 10 TEN MILLION DOL
LARS Would be refund the little 0utht he received
from the Government az Commissioner to China
What would be thought if a Wing Secretary were to
expand from 5000 75-l0Cths 20 Si00O0CJO under Ike
circumstances Is there not some decayed substance
in Denmark Nir cum a rOas!
TLOs III. Benton will be a candidate for Speaker Of
the House and ought be sustained by all true friends
of Pacific Raroad-ior despite bis crusty, dogmati
cal, and mathematical manner lie is not far from being
On honest man, and probably knows more nearly al
subjects connected with the Government and the wants
of the county than Pierce and his Cabinet, and The
Washington Union, put together. He can take the
starch cut of Green Democracy and reduce the House
TO order
Plain people from the country VIII be a7tonish,d at
tie maenfce1ce Of the Presidential mansion, when
they come to Washington. 1t las been fitted up in re-
cal style. Tor instance, new carpet has been made
in Scotland, for the East Room, at a cost of $500
1t is said 70 be truly gorgeous and is woven without
scam 1t is good time to 1T up the Presidents
rather shabby under Taylor and Fill
more. some people may he disposed to blame the
President for this display but why should not BIZ resi-
dcnoe he neat ana comfortable, and conform to his
taste So let US have no complaints on this head
ROANOKE.
