Look may every treason is answered by the same
fact and the latest and the least distinguished exam
pie is that furnished by Mr. Beardsey and his MENTOR Dan

precious pair We have shown how little they deserve the
name We have exposed their work of denuneaton and
defecon-their treacery to the friends and their COM
pcity with the foes of the democratic party and II we
compare their assaults upon the President with the attacks
Of avowed adversarie Of the democracy we shall more
highly respect the than the former The abolition

The unpopuary OF the administration is another fruit

they unite the general platform, and uphold IN
the strongest language the administration of Franklin
Pierce The new State of California adds her voice to the
acclamaon of the rest Pennsylvania spoke the 4th of
the Northwesthe members Of that cluster of empires
have expressed their loud approval of the policy OF an adj
instra,ion which has never ltered in its high career
but has stern and boldly sustained the interests OF the
country and the principles Of the democratic party set
forth in FIVE national conventions The South has spoken
in terms Of grateful eloquence The States assaulted by fac
ton and fanstcism well know how noby they have been
protected and champoned by Franklin Pierce and they
do hesitate to express their feelings with enthusiasm
and energy From the democracy of the Territories there
is equal unanmity in favor Of the administration
Where then, will Messrs Beardsley and Dickinson turn

general administration The doors Of the States and the
Territories are closed upon them Their querulous and

discounted They have andered nearly all the eminent

We can Judge Beardsley his master, Daniel S.
