THE WAR AGAINST PRESIDENT PIERCE.


There few o. the journals Of the country which have
tesmsd aud reeked for than year past with the
grossest cumnics upon President Pierce Prsuming that
the American people have sufficient intelligence and
integrity 70 comprehend the motives and detect the false
hoods which prompt these attacks not in the habit
Of branding them they deserve Other Magistrates
have been sandered and abused satisfied that
none have been pursued with the spirit o. Rdc,vc
malignity and persistent mendacig that which has
marked the ISLANDERS against President Pierce That this
warfare of maeyolence and derae,ou Is properly apprec
ated by the intelligent masses and that has failed to
make an Impression upon their minds have constant
proof As Illustration quote the following from the
vcksburg sentinel one Of the reliable and influential
journals in the Southwest
TsE wAR AGAINST PREsfnRSr P,EacK- The grussnsss
asehoods and the basees abuse which many the
Of the present administration employing against
the President effect their corrupt and ambitious pur-
os without parallel in the history Of the government
He however, may wel content himself with the reflection
that Is but the fate Of place, the rough brake virtue

failed receive the abuse the detracton, and raducou
which these unpruciped and yenal opponents -
literally bestowng upon him The immortal Washington,

worship himself set upon BY the same kind Of hapa
that struggling with eager effort 70 inure and de-
stroy the wedeserving occupant Of the White oase. No
duy the discharge of his duesn considerations just
cewould be sufficient conciae such INSCRIPTIONS
Because the President win the Gard
nersms and Gaphnisms their frauds upon the public
ury listen their loud cries for the promotion Of their
own ambitious designs he Is declared unworthy denounced

BLEED around the council board OF the natonsueed them
selves 10 be overreached by the British minister
one of the most absurd We give il to show the desperate
strait to which the enemies of the administration have been
driven and as one of the articles which their mercenary
scribbers have been compelled employ for the Of
some real and substantial eause of complaint
The CORRESPONDENT the New York Herald that the
secret Of the defeat Mr.. Clngmans mediation resolution
constitutes instructive piece Of diplomatic manuvring
Thus il fell out
Il appears that the English and French governments
really mediate adopting hostile against this
they get ont OF the Russian embarrassment
Bat should restored through the mediation of the
United States they could with good grace their
arms against the peacemaker Besides the interference
the United States for such purpose would commend TO
sdous representations OF the British minister pro-
Russian prOciyities.
To prevent this Mr. Champion prevailed upon the Presi
dent to his influence against Mr. Clngmans resolution
Pierce through the article, and vic.
