Than that oil any PRESIDENT,
Since the world had a resident.
To this generations clear gaze,
II looms upward in red blaze,
And its awful corruscations,
Appear like new revelations.
BY countless millions they'll be read,
When those now living shall be dead,
With all the wondrous emotions
And passingly strange devotions,
Of Moses when he heard the sound
Of the trumpet on Sinai's mound.
1t juts out from the worlds atlas
Like Samson erect and hatiess;
And the occupants of the sun
Are going at a rapid run
To witness the destination
OF our Franks administration
William Shakespeare sat down one day,
And wrote that which will now say
"The poets eye, in fine frenzy rolling,
Doth glance from Heaven to earth,
From earth to Heaven and as Imagination
Bodies forth the forms of things unknown,
Forney's pen turns them to shapes
And gives to airy fiction local
Habitation and a name."
Hear John Forney, all We nations!
Listen to his strong audationsl
Give ear to blast from his horn
And you will acknowledge the corn"
"No President has ever written more frankly, or
been more full in bis public statements than Frank
lin Pierce has been. His dealings with his coun-
trymen have been open, straightforward, and
MANLY Washington Union.
When these soul-nspiring phrases
Reached Frank, in all their sweet phases.
He opened his delicious jaws
And plead his own dear Forney's cause.
aSidney," said he, with vexation,
am full of agitation;
Why is it that so many men
Are jealous of dear Foney's pen!
Sink or swim, survive or perish,
will my nightingale cherish.
Old John Adams was not more bent,
when to the Convention he went,)
On a final separation
/, From the entire British nation,
Than ! am in holding on fast
To John w. Forney to the last.
His enemies I'll give thunder,
And burst their boilers asunder."
At the close of this mighty talk,
Up to Frank / saw Forney walk
And lay a hand on his shoulder;
In moment he grew holder,
And pressed Frank softly to his breast,
Like game-cock taking his rest
Ye gods and cupids such kisses
Have not been heard since Ulysses
Returned, in happiness and joy,
From the immortal siege of Troy
Two qualities are essential to the head of great
nation. These are moral courage and decision of
character. Without them, talents will avail but
ltte and the ship of State win be dashed to spn-
tiers against the breakers. Fortunate for the coun-
try and happy for our people, such man now
guides the national helm Firm is his own granite
hills the waves of faction may roll at his feet and
terrific flashes of SANDER may shock his friends,
yet be stands undsmayed by the ferocious attacks
of all assailants and never 6obs an eye! Con-
scious of the giant strength Of his own intellect
conscious of the Christian purity Of his own heart
and conscious of his own straightforward aud high
toned management Of public affairs, he deiantly
excaims-
Rack on my foes, and do your worst,
I'll stand just where stood at first !"
Franklin Pierce is the great prodigy of the nine
teenth century. Blessed with intuitive perception
OF human character, prompt to recognise and re-
ward patriotic merit, wherever found, he has raised
from the obscurity ofiprivate;ife and saved from
relapse into the same gloomy vortex a noble band
of political cuirassers, who are as terrible to his
foes as whole battalion Of ground-hogs in winter
quartersl Who can scrutinize that which is in
scrutable? Who can penetrate at a glance the
latent springs Of diplomatic ability answer with
an emphasis, Ffdnklin Pierce What President,
since the date Of our republic has bagged so many
diplomatic gems Of sparkling WORTH Whose sa-
gacity, save that Of Franklin Pierce, could have
penetrated the hard shells which enclosed the rich
kernels Of diplomacy in the fiery Soule, the virgin
Belmont and the pugnacious Borlandf Who but
Franklin Pierce would have taken the responsible
ty of hooking up George Saunders, and throwing
him like bomb into the British metropolis? Sub
sequent events have shown the far-reachng wis
dom Of all these appointments Soule has shot

Louis Napoleon clear out Of his boots |
Such hero and diplomat is bound TO bring home
the Queen of the Antilles in his breeches pocket |
Belmont--Belmont has sent lot of certif-
Gates TO the Washington Union showing be-
yond peradventure that he is stepped In diplo-
macy of the very first water. II is now believed
in the most refined circles of Europe, that, through
his sapient diplomatic mediation, the long lost
tribes Of Israel will soon be restored and the price

Dorazo, as the Sun and Mecca of future ages In
view of these historical facts and scores Of others
bearing close resemblance, who win have the te-
nerity to say that Franklin Pierce is not some
ommpkinsf
Frank Pierce stands erect and exclaims,
In fierce voice Of roaring flames;
Oh ye generation Of foes,
scorn your threats, as Forney knows.
The apostle Paul never uttered,
No mortal man ever sputtered,
A wiser sentiment than this
1t came out with a scorching hiss
All the powers Of creation
And the demons of damnation
Cannot arrest the mighty speed
OF this headong Merrimack steed
And why this bold affirmation
Put forth with generalization
Because know the iron will
That winds round Frank from top to SILL
His almighty motive power
Bears him on through sun and shower.
have often heard Forney say
That Frank Is sure 70 win the day
