TAXING BACK ALL THE HARD THINGS
SAID we learn from the Rochester Adver,s
er that whig appears in the columns of the
Newark Eagle, who says he wrote much and
spoke more against Franklin Pierce while a
candidate for the presidency; but since the OBJ
ject of his assaults has been installed in the
white House he has visited him, and changed
his opinion entirely. In proof of which the
writer says:
"No one can pnss an hour with him without
being impressed with the conviction that Frank
Pierce is a man of marked traits of character
sagacious and discrminating-q to per
celve and prompt to act--always ready TO listen
to advice-but possessed Of strong will and
frm mind. There is peculiar expression
about his eyes, indicative Of the character Of
the man as developed since his Inauguration
1t is that-so to speak-of person who knows
himself thoroughly, and what is eqnal import
ance, knows those by whom he is surrounded
lie who asplres to overreach Frank Pierce must
rise early in the morning

cuiarly IN Knox and Morrow counties, is greatly
improved, both in quantity and quality, from
former years. All the irresponsible buyers
that contracted during the excitement, at such
high prices, are now refusing to take the wool,
at such high prices, are now offering decline
OF from five to cents per pound Wool chan
ges now at from thirty to forty cents for com.
mon to one half blood, and forty to fifty cents
for one-half to full blood, which prices will
probably be sustained the present season.
