hopes of being able to support, believ-
ing as we did in the integrity of its
principles and intended future course,
now that it has seen fit to change its
direction and abandon the high aims
indicated in the inaugural OF Gen.
Pierce, is to be turned ungraciously
and with ingratitude against US, it will
be fearlessly resisted and galantly
combatted, until that power itself, and
the treacherous hand that so tyFanical-
ly wields it, are both ignominiously
trampled beneath our feet Let not
the President of the United States, nor
the pitiful minions of his power, sup
pose that by turning out of office the
only men who could, by possibility,
lend dignity to his administration aud
give it the slightest claim 10 respect
and ensure its success, under pretence
of "yindicating his policy and Gre
buking insubordination," but substan-
TALLY with view to influence and con-
troll the local elections of New York,
such an unwarrantable and highland
ed procedure will for a single moment
be silently submitted to. Of acquiesced
in, by the people of this State. The
men of the South, in whose noble
strife for their recognised rights the
gallant son of New York, and his pa
triotic companions of the North, par
ticipated SO largely in their extremity,
may now, when their aid is so much
needed to sustain the principles of that
war-worn chief, and of those who stand
in battle array around him, turn deaf
ear to our necesslties-may, perhaps,
90 to the assistance of the enemy, and
confirm, possibly, in the Senate of the
United States, the freesoil and soft she'll
appointments of Gen. Pierce, made to
replace such able, pure-minded patri-
otic men as Bronson, and in favor of
unscrupulous individuals, who are sworn
and pledged to admonish and extermi-
nate every vestige of nationalism, and
disgrace every man not identified with
the freesoil faction, headed by John
Van Buren,, Cochrane, Fowler, Redfeld,
and Short boy bullies Of Tammany
Hall but we shall, nevertheless, con-
tend, single handed if need be, undiS-
mayed and unconquered so long as God
shall give US breath to continue the
conflict. We, national democrats OF
the North, do not, We cannot, we will
not believe that the chivalric and no.
ble-hearted men of the South, the ma
tional democrats OF the genial South,
with whom and US, hitherto, there has
existed so much sympathy and so much
cordiality of co operation, will now turn
with GOODNESS and Indifference TO our
Just cause, when a delirious and mis-
guided executive officer of the govern
ment threatens to lay his treacherous
hands on our dearest rights, and bring
the whole force of his power and pat
ronage to crush US beneath his bestial
tread. They, the generoos intelligent,
and patriotic men of the South will not
fail TO appreciate the justice of our
cause and the fearless boldness with
which we have, thus far, foiled the
murderous assaults of the common foe.
God fails not to help and provide means
of resistance for honest men struggling
in righteous cause, and who endeavor
to help themselves. Coniding in the
purity of our purposes, in the patriot
ism, intelligence, and determined will
Of our fellow-citlzen TO resist to the
last the unhallowed aggressions of tyr
amy, let them come from whatever
quarter they may. and appealing to the
whole for the justice of our cause, we
.will never surrender =. to- r1
