tie wdntJn and unincasured abuse Of which

ca and admired by the more respectable and
worthy class Of cItiZ, ns in every quarter IL
the country. In lhc South gentlemen pf aN

stronger at this moment throughout the

from the tone OF the more respectable jour
na|s of the North, that he is quite rs highly
esteemed in that quarter Of the Union.
The New York journal Of Commerce took
no active part either for or against the elac.
ton Of President Pierce. But it SAYS the
violent abuse that has been hoaped upon him
by his political opponents, and even by some
of his pretended political friends Of the Aboli-
ton stripe, raises 4 strong presumption in
hi, f,yor-it never having been surpassed
within our recollection, in the case Of any
President except Madison and Jackson, two
OF the greatest men, next to Washington,
who have adorned our history, All the
traitors the country over, will bo found
among his bitter opponents. Other oppo-
nonts he has, nota tcw, ana many OF them
worthy of respect and confidence, but still
il Is fact, and significant one, that all the
traitors and scmi.trators throughout the
country, and all the rcsis.ants aud instga-

OF President Pierce, This single fact speaks
