PRESIDENT PIERCE AND THE FILLrBUsTERs.-
We incline to the opinion that the Cuban Fill
busters will soon entertain as great an antipthy
to President Pierce as they did to his predeces
sor. President Fillmore sternly announced
that he would execute the laws. President
Pierce indicates that he will do the same thing
Whether he will do so remains to be seen. To
say the least his surroundings and antecedents
are rot of character to inspire unreserved
confidence AS helmsman ofthe ship of State:
he has been almost as unf rtnnate as he was
when taking lessons in hOrsemansnip in Mex
ico.- Asa horseman he performed feats never
equalled by any General on field of battle.
Ancient and modern history may be ransacked
in vain to find a parallel to his Stupendous
achievem 'nts. And, we have nc doubt, he will
retire from the high place he now occupies with
as poor Presidential reputation as that which
he at present enjoys in the annals of equestri-
anism.
The Fillibusters throughout the United States
almost to a man, supported President Pierce
They threw the whole weight oftheir influence
against Winfield Scott. Neither his unparal-
leled services, his brilliant deeds, his long life
of eminent usefulness, awaited him aught with
large portion of his countrymen. He was said
to be martinet--a strict observation-disclosures
who would enfurce the laws as he found them.
'at all hazards and to the last extremity"
Therefore, he was beaten-thrown aside for
man of yesterday, whose whole career had been
without distinguishing characteristic, indca-
tive of either great or a good man-aye, de-
feated by majority and with an unanfmity I'M
precedented in the history of elections in this
country.
We have no regrets to express over the dis
appointment which these gentlemen must ex-
perience in reading the Presidents proclama-
ton. They aided to invest him with power.

.. Bcoause.by thus facilitating the course Of
business direct the Great Sea port of Virginia,
we shall check the system of draining out Of the
state To Baltimore and the North. and thus re
store the commercial independence Of the Com
mnnwonlth. Does any one wish Virginia, with
all her vast undeyeloped wealth. to remain a mere
satellite to Baltimore If an impedimcnt must be
placed in the great line of railways from Norfolk
to the Ohio then, in all conscience. put up the
CUTE upon the Southern route. unless the good
people of Virginia peter to pay commercial tri-
butte to baltimore. No man has denied-no
man can deny, with any show of reason, the force
of this plain and off repeated argument.
B. Because Richmond aud Petersburg are both
interested in having this Southern route prefer
ID TO the other. These cities must occupy 4
subordinate position in eommele.. 1t is out of
the question to think of making them what Ma
turc ha, dccreed they cannot be-great CONNER
oial cities compared with others more fayora-
bly located. That they will become large cities,
with hourishing trade with the interior there
is no doubt but great emporiums of foreign com
mcrco they can never become until Ocean yes
sells are built with lighter draueht than at present.
They must he subordinate 10 Baltimore or Nor
folk. Which will they choose? One moment :
reelection is enough to show that both these fine
cities with their immense water powers, would,
as points of distribution 10 the interior, be great
" benefited by having the source of their supplies
nj Norfolk rather than Baltimore, unless it can
be demonstrated that it is nearer by Baltimore to
Richmond aud Petersburg, than by Norfolk -
But it seems waste of time to argue this point.
Its self evident; and nothing but n blindness like
that which happened unto lsrnel,it would seem,
could prevent the whole state from seeing and
acting upon liberal and enlightened policy in
this matter.
T. Because, considering these two routes as
entire lines of railways unconnectcd with water
communication, the southern has greatly the al
vantage in point of gradients. True, the Ale
ehouy is surmounted by an easier grade ON the
northern than the southern route; but the
grades at several points on that route east oi
the Allcghoncs, are higher thnn any on th,
