ES 1t is very plain that the American
people have got to wait a good while for the
great things promised by the Democratic
organs in behalf of the Locofoco Admins
tration. These organs promised US that the
mail service should be at once rectifed un-
der the Pierce Administration, but now the
Democratic organs gravely assure US that
the thing cannot be done until after many
months" So the fulfllment of the promise
is to be deferred until the public shall have
forgotten that such a promise was ever
made. There's political sagacity for you.
And just look at the subject of British
outrages on the American flag. We were
told that no such outrages would be hazard
ed by Great Britain after Pierce's inaugura-
ton. and that, if any such should be haz-
arded. the Administration would adopt in
slant and summary means of redress. Well,
British outrages on vessels entitled to the
projection of our flag have been more nu-
merous withing the last two months than at
any former period since the declaration of
the war of 1912, but the Democratic organs
now tell US that President Pierce will do
nothing on the subject in hurry, that he
will take time to look around him before he
decides to do anything, and the Wings. if
they expect him to be melted to precipitate
action by any such tribes as the continual
firing of British cannon at American vessels
sailing under their country flag. will find
themselves vastly mistakenl
It seems that the great desideratum with
the Pierce Administration just now is time.
Il wants time to regulate the irregularities
of the mails, and it tells US that we must
wait for the result until after many months.
Il wants time to look around and see what
ought to be done for the punishment and
prevention Of British outrages on American
commerce, and we presume that the neces-
sary looking around cannot be done until
after some years. Aou. Jour.

the President can possibly appoint man to
Office who has charged him with falsehood.
We suppose he can. He has already done
it, and what he has done once we presume
he can do again and keep doing.
Last summer report was published of a
speech said to have been delivered by Gen.
Pierce two or three years before at New
Boston. The report contained some very
violent anti-slavery expressions. General
Pierce came out under hts own name and
denied the language attributed to him. But
Mr.. Grey. editor of the Cleveland Plain
dealer. Locofoco and Abolition sheet,
thinking to bring into Pierce's support the
Abolitionists in that region. kept
at the head of his paper week after week
the Abolition language ascribed to General
Pierce, Notwithstanding the latter's direct
and indignant denial. Thus this Freesoil
editor gave the lie to Gen. Pierce, and yet
the General, instead of demanding ''the
satisfaction due to gentleman" or in any
way seeking to redress the insult. has ap-
pointed the editor to the Office of postmaster
at Cleveland. We hope that the curiosity
of the editor of the Post, who asks if.the
President can appoint to Office any man who
has charged him with falsehood, is now
gratifed.-- Lon. jour,

NE jefferson Davis, the leader of the

eyentful conflict Of 1851. has been appoint

highest offices in the Government. Gov.
Foote, the leader Of the Union Democrats
Of Mississippi in that confist, has received
no offer Of any appointment whatever. The
truth is, President Pierce, whatever his
wishes may be, does not dare appoint Gov.
Foote Or any other prominent Union man

our litlt was near tie ocean mafge,

Our hut was near the Occean mafge,
One summer many year ago
Where al around tho huge rocks plunged
Their giant forms in deeps below.
We used to see the sun 90 down
Thswatery western skies afar,
And hail with eager, childish joy,
The light Of every new born star.
Along the beach, among the cliffs,
Our days in pnstime seemed to glide,
As if the hours were made to mark
The ebb and flow Of oceans tide.
We said: eTiIlall our locks are gray,
Each year in June we'll hither roam,
And pitch our tent--no ether spot
Shall be our lifelong summer home.
One morn We strolled along the shore,
TO watch the waves come rOoling in;
The night had been night or fear,
Of thunder crash and tempest din.
IN glee we sung our ocean songs,
AS on We moved across the sand
Whats that among the salt sea weed.s
A little helpless human hand!
We put the cold, wet grass aside,
The gathering surf we brushed away,
And there, In pallid deaths embrace,
A - n. "a.
We took it from the murderous wave,
Looked once upon the storm scared eyes,
Then scocped grave where waters moan,
And oft the wailing sea.bird flies.
The charm had fed-the hut, the cliff,
The beach, SO often wandered DER.
Were poisoned BY lifeIess hand
We went-and we returned no more!

from market, and consequently suffer
not only an immense loss in the sale
of their products, but are subjected to
double the tax on all that they consume

Railroad will have, will be 10 raise the
