The Democratic Breeches.

The Democratic br0eCno0.
The rents in the great democratic shroud
are becoming wider and more loathsome to
behold every day. The disaffection engen-
dered by Pierces's duplicity and trcachery,
which he has been practising upon tho in
telligent and honest portion of his parry
ever since his Inauguration, has now become
"too grievous to be borne." In Maine, DEM
ocrats denounce his conduct in open conven'
tion-as Infamous in that he was elected Gas
was supposedly pledged to carry out the reso'
lutions adopted at the Baltimore Convention,
that he fully endorsed the sentiments therein
contained in his unqualified letter Of accep-
lance, and that he subsequently in his in
augural address, gave renewed assurance of
his religious attachment to that notable plat.
form which was made expressly for him.
The Hunkers of New Hampshire repudiats
the conduct of their President, for his treason
as displayed in his appointments; Hunker or
gans are out with columns of the most bitter
invective, while their neighbors over the line
in Massachusetts,, (the Coalitionists) are in
high glee, as each day brings the glad tidngs
of the appointment of some one of their
number to q lucrative Office.
A correspondent of the New York Express
signing himself (Democrat), and writing from
Cleve and, Ohio. lets off some severe strains
of censure, and threatens that the General
shall be held, (unless he is mistaken in the
Intelligence of the Masses) to a strict accoun-
liability for the manner in which he has dis.
charged the trusts committed to him. Hear
him:
While he has, in almost every instance at
the North, appointed men to Office from the
ranks of those who "spit upon the PLATFORM"
he has in the South appointed them from the
ranks of the null .6ers, secessionists, &C., who
have comprised heaven and earth to burst as
under the ties which bind US together as one
people, and which cement this glorious
Union. Such a course of policy is extraor-
binary, and has been the cause Of much as
constituent and disuffecticn-nay, of mortifi-
cation to those who have been instrumental
In electing him. 1t was not what was expec-
ted of Franklin Pierce by the democracy of
the Union. 1t was not what was expected
by he democracy of single State that cas-,
have been sorely disappointed in the man.

mocracy of Ohio, and of every other State,
that cast it vote for Pierce, that they are
surely disappointed in their man.
The Democracy of the Union, he says, ex.
pected, after the repeated avowals of affection
for the platform, and the many pledges q
strict adhesion to its principles; and sfter de-
nouncing those who opposed it, as fanatics
and enemies to the country, that he woult
not only prove faithful to the compromis,
bills, but to the advocates and supporters o
those bills. They now denounce him witt
great unanimity and vehemence, for givin,
Office to the traitors to these principles, a n
for placing in Office men who are at heart op
posed to the principles and pledges that mad

Disappointment, to our mind, always impl

justly raised, with at least as reas onable pro,

withstand.
The Democracy built the fabric called pla
form, overlooking the Union; the view frol
its may height was fair and beautiful to tn
sight; Gen. Pierce was taken by chose
apostles to the highest pinnacle thereof, an
