tration against Hon. ID. y. Dickinson,
Judge BeardsIey, and others.
The vanity Of Mr.. Pierce seems to have re
ceived deadly offence at the recent condemna
\ ton Of his administration by the New York
| Hard Shells; he is therefore retorting, with
great severity, by an assault upon the leading
statesmen Of that party. After having quoted
from the speech Of Judge Beardsley, to show
how the universal defeat of the Democratic
party has been occasioned by the plumbers o.
the administration, Mr.. Pierce says, through
the mouths of his prophets Of the Union
There is that in this extract which shows the
character and the degree Of malignity of the op
| position to Franklin Pierce, so frequently mani
tested by Daniel s. Dickinson In New York, an6
the few who follow his revengeful example and
| his fading fortunes"
These comments upon the speech are mads
ito expose the baseness Of those who riot in
such mendacity IS to exhibit to our country
men the wicked groundlessness Of these accu
sations against the President"
The whole object Of Judge Beardsley' speech
As said to resolve itself into question Of Office
Then follows this furious TRADE against the
Hard-Shell sachems generally.
"The abolitionists, with whom il is more than
evident the judge is quite willing to unite to defeat
the administration of President Pierce, show, BY
their sincere and nuriated opposition to the Pres
ident, how justly he deserves the animosity of all
the enemies of the Union. They oppose Franklin
Pierce because he has been true to principle
Judge Beardsley and Daniel S. Dickinson traduce
him, as we have clearly shown, because he has not
loaded them down with honors and emoluments.
This is the old story. When Arnold fed from his
duty, fattered and fawned upon by his country's
prosecutors, his greed for Office turned his heart
against the Revolution, and made him curse the
cause he had fought for. When Judas betrayed
his master, 1t was the gold that changed his heart
from the truth, and made trcachery seem virtuous
in his eyes. History Is filed with these examples,
and in the present we read the ample confirmation
of the past. What has made abolition and Know
Nothingism pleasing in the eyes Of Burke, of New
Hampshire, but the loss of Office? What has
transformed Major Donclson into a slanderer Of
the faith of jackson but personal disappoint-
ment! What has made him the low calumniator
of President Pierce but the same unworthy motive,
Look where we may, every treason is answered by
the same fact; and the latest, and not the least
distinguished example is that furnished by Mr..
Beardsley and his mentor, Daniel s. Dickinson.
They pretend to be Democrsts-this precious pair!
We have shown how little they deserve the name.
We have exposed their work Of denunciation and
deiection-ther treachery to the friends and their
completely with the foes Of the Democratic party
and If we compare their assaults upon the Presi-
dent with the attacks of the ayowed adversaries
Of the Democracy, we shall more highly respect
the latter than the former. The abolitionsts are
not misled BY the hopes Of office. They strike at
the President because he Is against them, and
they who feel the blow know best who deals il
but why does Judge Beardsey calumniate the
Presidents He says because he is not sincere in
his opposition to the aboltionstsl Well may we
ask, who is the more to be beeyed--the sincere
foe or the false and revengeful desertery
The unpopularity OF the administration is anoth-
er fruitful theme for Burke Dickinson, and Boards.
ley. II Is in this respect that they give so much
JOY to the associates Of the abolitionists-the
southern Know-Nothings. After having effectu-
ally assisted the secret party In the North, as we
have conclusively shown, they now hope TO help
the other wing Of the opposition in the South.
The National Democrats are informed that
the administration has been sustained in all
the Democratic State Conventions of the past
year, many Of them having, like the Pennsyl-
vania Convention, expressed their admiration Of
Mr.. Pierce, and their reputation Of the chief act
Of his administration but as the Democratic
party has lost its majority in Congress, and in
the great States Of Pennsylvania, Ohio, New
York, and the Northwest generally, we should
suppose that the endorsement of the surviving
minority did not disprove the charge made by
the Nationals that the incompetency Of the adj
ministration had caused the defeat Of the Dem
ocratic party.
But we must be pardoned our amazement
at some Of the specifications Of Mr.. Pierce's
popularity. Pennsylvania spoke on the 4th
in language Of unreserved emphasis" We
have seen the proceedings Of meeting held
early on that mornings at Independence Square,
which endorsed the administration measures.
It was addressed by Mr.. Dallas, who said not
word in favor Of the platform. This was
not the voice Of Pennsylvania; that had
spoken, as we have stated, in open refusal
TO endorse the main measures Of Mr.. Pierce's
administration The Northwest has expressed
its cloud approval of the policy Of an admin
istration which has never faltered in its high
career" This win be pleasant news to Doug
las, to Shields, and II win be borne pleasantly

fanaticism will know how nobly they have
been protected and championed by franklin
Pierce, and they do not hesitate TO express
their feelings with energy and enthusiasm"
"From the Democracy Of the Territories there
Is equal manimity in favor Of the administra-
