PRESIDENT PIERCE THROWN OVERHEARD
The once great and powerful Administration
party, which Ia little while ago found no words
sufficient to express its admiration Of Frank
lin Pierce, is now trying to repudiate him Its
constituents are wrangling among themselves
as to who has brought defeat and hopelessness
upon the party. Poor Pierce is made the
scapegoat of ever body's faults, and must bear
all the blame. This once surprising patriot,
statesman and warrior, this second Washing
ton and greater than Andrew jackson, has
fallen from his high estate in his party, until
there are now none so poor as to do him re-
verence" The Oh State Democrat, comment
ing upon the result of the last election, so
disastrous to its party, says:-[ Lou. Jour.
The first great cause.-The great folly which
produced this state of things, was the casting
aside of 6Yst-rate men and electing third and
fourth-rate men to the Presidency. Had Gen.
Cass, Mr.. Buchanan, or any Of the other first
minds of the nation, guided the destinies of
the Republic since the 4th of March, 1858,
these things would not have been.

I We make an appeal TO our friends to lend
o helping hand to increasing the subscription
list of the Weekly Journal. For nearly
twenty-one years this paper has been steadily
visiting it's patrons. There are persons now
in this neighborhood, who have been steady
paying subscribers from the day the first num-
Der of the Journal was issued in a little mud
village Yet with this long newspaper life.
the Journal has not so large patronage as it
should have. It is true it circulates in almost
every town, village and neighborhood in this
section of the State, and far and wide IN Ken
lucky and Illinois, and even to California,
Oregon and England-but where one Weekly
Journal now goes, two ought to be sent, and
would be sent if all our friends could be pre-
vailed upon to lend us little help. Some of
our good friends have illustrated what can be
done by little exertion. One obtained for us
a few weeks ago; over twenty subscribers in
strongly Democratic neighborhood, and where
it was predicted the Journal could not obtain
another subscriber! Another writes US, that
he is very busy on his farm just now, and two
of the boys are shaking, but he managed to
"shake out half day of spare time for the
benefit Of little Add Sanders" He says he
only got seventeen subscribers, but he has to
take the thickly settled part of his neighbor-
hood another day, when he will do better

We published couple days ago telegraph
dispatch, telling Of an attack upon an Ameri-
can procession in New York by gang of
Irishmen, the injury inflicted upon persons in
the procession, and the capture and trailing
in the DUST by these Irishmen, Of the Ameri-
can flag. We very correctly commented
upon these proceedings in just the language
necessary to give utterance to the feelings of
every American, whether he dare speak his
feelings as we did or not. A city paper ridi-
cules the idea of seriously commenting on this
dispatch, which the editor views as political
But on the same day he publishes this sage
opinion, yesterday, we published full and
official account of the transactions, as received
by mail Every statement of the dispatch is
proved correct, and therefore we were neither
guilible in assuming the dispatch as a nara
ton Of facts, nor verdant in commenting on
them as such. rs

York (not "Bowery B'hoys" as this cotempo-
