elements have strong inducements for har-
monizing under the reign of President Pierce.
so far, they have been well provided for in
the dispensation of Federal patronage. His
old friends Of the Van Buren, wing, who sknew
their man. have been helped beautifully to
the fat appointments from, The North. The
Free-soilers ought to rejoice and congratulate
themselves, upon the marked preference
shown them, in the division of tie plumber.
Such favorites as Dix, and Cushing, aud
Marcy, will see that they are not neglected.
The Fire-eaters have been the favored ones
in the selections from the South. They too,
can unite with their Free-soil allies of the
North, in congratulating themselves upon the
favors bestowed upon them by the President.
Among the principal appointments that have
been made from the South, are Jefferson Da-
Wis, of Mississippi, Secretary Of War; Mr..
Dobbin, OF North Carolina, Secretary of the
Navy; Mr.. Soule, of Louisiana, Minister to
Spain, and Mr.. ainpbell, OF Alabama, Judge

Franklin Pierce is Presiden. Perhaps they
do not like such empty comfort, but the con-
tract must be fulfilled, and the factionists
nust be conciliated or the coalition cannot
continue. Nothing else will keep the atoms
