The PRESIDENT AND THE BosToN RioT
We are advised by the Washington Union,
lha, the President is resolved, "at whatev.
e, hazard, and in the face Of every conse.

and enforced a, Boston. When Marshall
freeman sen, him word by telegraph iha,

President Pierce promptly returned 10
Marshall Freeman the following emphatic
answer; You, conduct is approved; The

been ,elegraphed in all directions, and The
Pensylranidn asserts confidently, "and The

Now, we are moi led asiray by any party

not by his promises, but by his actions. He
promised us in his Inaugural, that slavery
agitation should not be renewed during his
aLministralion-upon this point he has mis-
erably deceived us. Various piraiical ex-
peditions have been fitted out, and are now
in progress but there have been no orders
sent by telegraph, that the law must be ex-
ecuied. A few months since,a rio', shame.

Cure OF ERYsrrELAs. This malignant dis.
