to repudiate him. Its constituents are wrang-

Poor Pierce is made the scaprgoat of every

This once surprising patriot, statesman, and
warrior, this second Washington and greater
thar Andrew Jackson, has fallen from his
high estate in his party, until there are now
"none 50 poor MS TO do him reverence" The
Ohio State Democrat, commenting upon the
result Of the last election, 50 disastrous to
It's party, says:
"'Ihe first great cause.-the great folly
which produced this state OF things, was the
casting aside OF first rate men aud clccting
third and fourth rate men to the Presidency.

other first minds of the naiion, guided the

The appearance of the magnificent British heet

ces othat empire the humilisting alternative OF re-

tie walls of Cronstsdt and Sweabcrg, or OF court
ing certain destruction by venturlng INTO the open
sea, A commendable activity has been dlsplayed
by Commodore Watson and the flying squadron
under his command, in pushing forward, IN des-
pte ofthe difficulties OF the navigation, and OF the
imnediments created by the floating ice. That
squadron will anticipate the departure ofscores of
Russian vessels that were only awaiting the break
ing I'D of the ice to escape the vigilance Of our
cruisers Few Of these vessels will reach their
destination, and whilst an unexpected number Of
valuable prizes will reward the promptitude and
activity of our ships, the commercial navy of Rus
STA will be crippled beyond recovery. 50
Admiral Dundas has signalized his arrival in the
port OF Kiel by proclaimng the strict blockade OF
Lbau and all the ports along the ttoral as far as
Rlgs. Without doubt vigorous blockade along
the whole coast will be enforced and there, We
fear, terminate the services that be reasonably
expected from the Baltic feet Not that these are
