In the above States the Pierce democracy
elected two years ago majority of fifty mem
bers. In the same States now they are in a
minority ofsiNty -one-a change of one hundred

ton in which the American people hold the
Pierce administration.

It's seldom that we meet in the country with
an ornamental painter, who possesses a brilliant
fancy and is skilful workman, therefore our
town is fortunate in having such an able artist
as Iaury. Those wishing work well done
should employ him. AS decorator, painter
of fancy sketches and ornamental work. he is
most expert, while on 81 gns and transparencies
he has no superior in Louisiana. His works
in this place and at New Orleans show it,
Arthur's Home Gazette comes to us in new
aad extremely beautiful dress. It's one of the
best papers in the country, of a high moral
tone, and may with propriety be admitted into
every family circle. It is free Of abolitonism,
and other fanatic dogmas.
For the information Of the Piercies in this
section of the country, we copy the ralyiDg cry
of the Pennsylvania Pierce democracy at the
recent election. 1t is taken from the Cham
bcrsburg Valley Spirit, Zone Of the democratic
organs, Of October 4, 1854:
democrats of the 18th district when the |.
day of battle dawns, charge Tor the Nebraska
bill, under which, tyo new Free States will soon
be added to the Union!n'
Thus did the Piercites shout and sing at the
polls in Pennsylvania; and now the Pierce or
.ans at the south are crying and signing be-
cause their party's slogan of 1.-TWO new free
States, failed to carry the day, and then have
he assurance to tell us that Pierce is a true
friend to the south !
