hoped to see its faithful enforcement for unon

ern men, and discourages the hopes of the
friends OF peace. We fear that when such an
array OF force as was presented in Boston last
week Is necessary to maintain the supremacy
OF the law, the popular mind is, mortally dis
eased. Whilst, however, we have such a Pres
ldent as PIERCE, we cannot doubt but that the
law will be carried out at an enormous expense
and magnificent demonstrations of moboeracv
though it be. -.
1t is estimated that the case of BURNS will

thirty thousand dollarsi
