Progress OF the sauabbls.

The fight in New York goes hravely on. Mr..
CooLY, a distinguished Democrat of that State,
and the Hardshell candidate for the office Comp
troler, made speech at Syracuse on the End,
which exceeds in bitterness anything that has
vet appeared. He spoke of Gen. PIERCE as ga
ffthrate county court, treacherous pettifogger OF
New Hampshire, who, by accident simply, hap
peped to reach an exalted position only to disgrace
il and cover himself with infamy." And further,
as "a sort of Punch and Judy conductor of freesol
performances. with wire in his back, by which
he is twiched backwards and forwards, aud made
TO kick up his heels here and dance there. 10 just
such music as the organ-grlnders OF his cabinet
make fancy to sing In his deuded ears" He
said also. 81 care not whether this be declared
from the house-top, or on the steps of the Capitol
at Washington, so lately the pedestal where Gen
eral Pierce harangued a multitude in noisy pom
pous stump speech, denominated the Presidents
Inaugural'"
We do not admire COOLEY vulgar vtnperation,
and publish the above extracts from his harangue
merely to show how the contest rages, and the
animosty excited in New York against General
PIERCE on account of his recent course. 1t can
not be denied. however, that those who exhonor
ate the President from censure, while they de-
nounce the Cabinet, make him out pretty much a
puppet as MIR. COOLEY describes But we give
him credit for more manllness, and hold him d.
rectly responsible.

President Pierce.

II is now about twelve months since the election
for chief magistrate of the nation was held, when
all the Southern Democratic journals in the country
were vehement in their denuncations of the Wing
candidate as being hostile to the institution of
slavery All the ''faithful" in The land from the
Potomac to Florida Reefs joined in the chorus; and
so loud were the Locooco press and orators against
Gen. ScoTT-a foul abolitionist, as they styled
him--that many unwary Wings were beguiled from
their party allegiance. The Democracy would
fam have had US believe that they alone were en-
titled to be considered the peculiar guardians OF
the South. They looked upon the elevation OF
Gen. ScorT 10 the Presidency with many dark
forebodings and deprecated the result with holy
horror; and to avert the dreful evils his election
portended, they urged upon the South the claims
of Gen. PIERCE, who although born and educated
in the North, was represented as sound pro
slavery man. All of Gen. PIERcE's deeds of char
ity and heroism, from the giving ola cent to lit
tie boy to his wonderful prowess on the plains of
Mexico, were passed in review, and ne was pro-
nounced par excellence the man for the times. We
all know the result; Gen. PIERCE was elected by
an overwhelming majority. And now how has ne
redeemed the promises of his friends? Only by
makinu the enemies of the Union and the South
the peculiar objects of his favor, and pursuing
course of prescription towards others. The fact is
the South was most egregously befooled into the
support ofan intriguing politician, who forgetting
his high position as President of the nation, de-
grades his office by mingling in sectional contests
and is found battling along side of JOHN VAN BU-
Rem in behalf of Free-soilism in the State of New
York.
But where are the Democratic guardians of South
ern rights2 How is it that they are not fired
with Indignation when they see such staunch
Union Democrat as BRoNsoN decaptated to concil-
late the Free-sol party? Have none Of the Viz
ginia Democracy the moral courage to boldly de-
nounce such insults 10 the South? Some OF
them indeed administer slight reproof to Sec
rotary GUTHRIE, but all apologize for the Presi-
dent as though he was irresponsible for the acts Of
his Cabinet. The appointment of Free-soilers 10
important offices by Democratic President is re-
garded by the Southern Democracy as a venal Of
fence, buta Wing President is guilty of a mortal
sin if he only treat them with the common cour
tesies of life.
Thus the country may see how FART can re-
ly on Democratic assurances Of the soundness oil
Northern men, and how little confidence is 10 be
placed in the professions of that party.

Trial of rrayer and Wilson.


| This case was commenced on the End instant.
A jury was empannelled without difficulty. The
| examination of witnesses for the Commonwealth
was continued until the 7th instant; the evidence
crossing as we go to press, TUESDAY noon. y
The argument will begin probably on "Wednesday
and be continued perhaps throughout this week.
Counsel for the Commonwealth, Col. WIN. h.
| HARTMAN assisted by Messrs IMBoDEN s. McCUE
and r. p KINNEY, Esq. Counsel for the prison.
ers, Messrs STUART, BALDWIN, Niche & Rob-
ERTsoN and KAISER.
We expect to publish synopsis of the entire
case after the trial is concluded The material
facts of the Commonwealth are in substance that
the murder was committed on Thursday night
| 18th OF August last, by blows given with com
mon claw hammer upon the head Of the deceased
and probably by stab in the side with knife
WILSON had repeatedly said that he and TRAyER
knew who had committed the murder, and were
within so feet when it was done: TRAYER had
manifested great anxiety about experimenting the
murderers, aud had implicated several different
persons at different times as being to his own
knowledge guilty. The hammer was identified
by marks upon it as one formerly belonging to an
old Mr.. MooRE who died some Is years ago, and
left many of his tools with TRAYER. This, or a
very similar hammer, was traced in TRAYER's
possession from time to time untias late as July
last. f $50
The evidence of PERKINS was, in substance,
that on the night of Thursday the llth of Au-
gust, 3 O'Clock, as he lay asleep in TRAYER's
house, where he boarded, TRAYER and WILSON
came to him and arousing him. said they were 60
ing out to steal sumo roasting ears and TO kill a
man, and wanted him to go along he refused !;
they afterwards went out, when he got up from
curiosity to see where they were going; he fol
lowed until he saw them enter CoLEMAN's house
through the partly open door he saw COLEMAN
sitting, when almost Immediately he saw one OF
the prisoners raise his arm and strike, and at the
same instant the candle light was put out. PER
KINs returned TO TRAYER's house, and after lying
some time in bed, overcome with the fatigue of
f
the days labor, again fell asleep, and was after
wards awakened by TRAYER and WILSON, who
said to him they had killed man, and if he told
it they would kilfhim, but ifhe kept quiet, they
would divide the money with him when it was
all blown over. PERKINS was in dread of them,
and had no money but what was owing him from
TRAYER as soon as he got that said he meant to
leave and tell of the murder. Did not tell until
after the arrests were made. ~
A vast amount of crcumstantial evidence was
taken intended to corroborate the statement Of
PERKINS; as also concerning the conduct and con-
versations of TRAYER and WILSON tending to fix
suspicion upon them. No testimony on behalf OF
the accused was offered at the examining Court (;
we understand that about 30 witnesses have been
summoned for examination On their part-neXt

they can make. This practice, they asserts car
ried on very extensively whenever they happen
