WING Laudation OF MIR. Pierce, OF His Inausu.
raj, and OF His Cabinet.

and his cabinet with praise and we are glad that
OF the oeooco editors, suspeclng the sincerity, rather
believing ia the heaIilessness Of these wings apply
ing the rod TO their graceess shoulders Such whe de-
serve every blow they get
Six months ago these wing editors were engaged
in The effort 10 convince The people thai General Pierce
did not possess the qualifications which are indispensable
in President. and without which he cannot exercise the
influence OF his Office either wisely or we'll As nothing
has happened since the presidential election any
wing TO change his opinion OF Gen. PieIces fitness for
the office be holds can see no why they who
during the contest opposed his election, should now
seem TO be delighted with him, He is now what he was
last summer. He has done nothing yet, far es
see, 10 pfoptaie those who opposed him All that he
has done is the writing OF an inaugural the appointment
OF cabinet, and the constant decapitation of wing office
holders The inaugural is feeble ambitious inelegant
sophomore haangue-the cabinet is, in the aggregate OF
its intellect, The weakest our country has yet seen-and
the prescription OF wing officers is prosecuted with I'M
examped ierociy and despatch Can wings see in that
Inaugural that cabinet and those decapations any rea
son why they should esteem Mr. Pierce to be better or
a wiser man than he seemed 10 be last summerl
For our parts, we have not been disappointed in the
locoioco administration, thus far. 1t has displayed no
strength and much party ancor II the locofoco editors
are night IN their interpretations of the mysterious por
tons OF the inaugural then it is pretty clear that this ad
mnsraon is TO be llibusering in It's tone, utterly pro-
scnphve to all political opponents, and uncompromsng
ly hostile TO internal improvements by the general gov
ernmen TO the policy OF protecting American industry
and to every other principle and doene which, wings
we have earnestly advocated for many years Such

We have no doubt that the Pierce administration will
be thoroughly ocotocosh to The end Ii will display no
clemency toward wings regard for wing principles
AS such, we oppose now, and mean oppose until
shall be rejected by indignant people in 1886. with
all the energy we possess
Our acquaintance with ocoiUcoism is intimate that
we feel that we know it thoroughly. We know what

denotes downward. if suffered long ia
troll our government, it would deeply if not irrerevably,
Jure IT. such being our belief shall he disappointed
u any good comes from this administration, and shall
not hesitate to express our pleasure at such result But
how an administration composed of such materials with
large and plant majority in both houses of Congress-
can give us pleasure by any exhibitions of WISDOM pre-
cisey what we cannot understand and do not expect
Neither can we understand what object whig editors
can have IN view IN prsIsng locofoco administration
before has done more than turn out hundred wing
Office hoders Some of the shrewdest ocofoco editors
suspect these wings of some secret and very sinister de-
sign on their party and hence have beabored them with
hearty good will Let them continue to lash every
wing whom they may find cnnging and sneaking with
bow and smilk in their neighborhood
We know it is said that you should not say anything
against an administration until It by its acts has excited
your honest Indignation. Such is the advo
Gates but unfortunately, Mr.. Pierce, in his inaugural,
gave US sufficient reason for beginning warfare on his
inaugural II is certainly very two-aced document
for, otherwise how could Ilibustsring democrats and
conservative democrats, and wings with surplus supplies
OF soft sawder, unite in declaring themselves delighted
with 1t! The hibusle and conservative democrat both
read what the President felt himself called to say in
relation to the foreign policy OF the government with
hearty smack OF the lips Each OF them rellshes vastly
Is this the fault OF the message is it merely unfor
tunate in ITS rhetoric, and thus liable 10 opposing
structions Is the President unable write with dis
ncness or is he intentionally orphc in his utteances
Has Mr. Pierce adopted as his model the remarkably
biguous Van Buren,
few whg papers have described them TO be-if they
able and honest and efficient ocers-why should wings
feel any very keen regret that locoioco administration
has displaced wing administration II we are to have
wise and conservative administration why should we
trouble ourselves in relation to it Why admire il
and praise IT, and let II go on without opposition and be
followed by another of the same kind without encoun-
terng our hostility 1t is because have the re-.
hottest idea that such is TO be the of the Pierce
administration that we feel ourselves called good
and honest and consistent enemies OF ocofocosm TO pre-
pare ourselves Tor four years war against and lis
measures
Mr. Pierce made wha, is considered fine point in his
inaugural when he proclaimed that he indebted only
to the masses oil bis counrymen for his position, and
therefore was not under obligation to the party leaders
ms Is iuslan he was elected by the uncessng efforts
OF the locofoco leaders He got the vote OF majority
OF those who voted it is true, but they induced to
vote Tor him by the earnest enlreaes and other appliances
OF the party leaders Locofocos unless under The con.
troll OF few leaders, would fall % pieces as barrel does
when It's hoops are struck of The leaders keep the party
together and hence the party maluiarous in its
suuens as there are classes of men.
BY whomsoeyer or howsoever elected, we have no
doubt that Mr. Perces administration will be altogether
as devoted TO the OF ocofocoism any other
administration has been. To expect wisdom modera-
ton from II is vain. We expect neither, and have fresh
nibbed pens for the purpose of making thorough ex
positions OF all the abuses of which it may be guilty
