All we ask is that in his appointments the President
shall select men who are capable and honest.
Gen. Pierce has no sympathies or aspirations in
favor Of emancipation. He does not even regard hu-
man slavery as an evil, differing in this respect, not
only with the gifted statesmen Of other nations but
with Washington, Jefferson and Madison his Illus
tri0us predecessors 1t is painful to see President
OF the United States who does not in the nineteenth
century of christian civilization, look forward with
hope to period when by some just, wise and peace
ful means, this great and glorious republic will
achieve universal emancipation.
from thesBoston Atlas, March 81
We lay before readers the inaugural address Of
President Pierce. 1t will be found to be clear,
wellwritten, straightforward frank and manly do
cument. Much of it will not fail to receive the hearty
concurrence of all classes of our citizens what
may be their political preferences and predec
tons. We cannot, of course, be expected to coin
eide with the President in many of his views of pub
lie policy. Candor compels us to admit however,
that we find much less in this address from which
we must dissent than we anticipated from the well
known party bias of its author. Its open, honest
and frank exposition Of his views is worthy Of high
commendation. 1t has no tinge of non committalism
but is manly and above board. No one can fail to
understand the Presidents views and sentiments
The document is also of rational and moderate
length. No one need be deferred from its perusal
by its length. In literary point of view, it is also
credtable to the author In word, it is docu-
ment that will be well received both at home and
abroad.

y The world has been too long govern

and despised. One can suffer no great
or reproach than TO have it said of him
that he does nothing. He at once takes
rank with fashionable gamblers" some
times termed gentlemen of leisure"
These effeninate gentlemen, who are
sometimes wont TO boast of their ances-
try, forget-possibly they never know
that the greatest of men have been train
ed up to "work with their hands," God
ordained that man should live by labor.
Activity, health, strength, and intelligence
can live only in being of an active life.
Our greatest men. in all ages, have
been active. aoorking men. Burns was
: plowboy; Ben Johnson was brick

man was shoe maker; and Washington
was farmer. We might multiply a
bright hos. Of names illustrative of this
fact.
Our age is an age of action. and none
can claim exemption from some active
pursuit. And we are rejoiced tina. it is

actor than this healthy public sentiment
