applause.
"With such President as this, feel that |
view lies before us of prosperity and peace
in the future, OF expanding commerce, of in
creasing fraternity at home, until that mis-
cradle faction which has disturbed the peace
of the Union shall be crushed beneath the
heel of patriotism, which long since should
have ground 1t unto dust. Applause. But
it is not, after all, SO serious as many of u.s.

We have measured them; we have looked
upon them; and, as compared with the great
mass of patriotic people, they stand in that
relation which an eminent British statesman
once gave to a similar faction, when he said
it was as the cricket compared to the OK
the noisy cricket vexng the air while the OK
reposed beneath the shade. [Applause.] This
noisy faction that wearies the sense and dis
turbs the peace of the mighty mass merits

What wonderful change comes over the
vision Of factous dsunonist, when high
Cabinet Office is bestowed upon him! And
how apt he is to not only land the Union,
denounce disunionsts, but to exalt to the
third heavens the President who has confer

} asseverations the gallant and chivalric Davis
exclaims: president Pierce is great and a
