him ripe for yiiuperation and folsehood. !
declares that 10 praise the present Chief Exc
utive, is "altogether loo impudent and pu
gent 10 bear patiently" and with Tong
Swears and pen denounces, some indiyidua
other than %ourself, for writing the article, al
: thus attempts 10 crafty a diseased mind al
quiet the throbbings of his soul, while !
: pauses for a reply. Poor Dsvy, we pity hin
but We feel that it would be but casting pea
before swine, for us 10 60 into on elaboraI
review OF the brilliant career Of Presider
: PIERCE. 1t is familiar to every body, and
emblOzoned con his country and its institu
tons deep, striking and indelible." And Toe
while election after election rolls 10 him wit
t Triumphant majorities; while The praises an,
laudations OF nations saved, and OF naples
> refugees spared fIom death, have been born L
him from distant countries; whilethe nog of III,
United States has been raised by him abroaI
to all altitude and 10 a glory it had never be-
fore acquired; while America prides hersel
in the sovereign asylum which he has made
her and her institutions; and while the DEM
ocratic creed has such ornaments while Gen.
Pierce and his administration has such advo-
Gates as Breckenridge OF Kentucky, as Slidell
OF Louisiana, as Thompson OF Mississippi, as
Wise Of Virginia. as Orr and Mcdonald offs. c.
as Cobb of Georgia, oS Allen, and Disney, and
Odds and Pugh OF Ohio, as CasS OF Michigan,
as Buchanan of Pennsylvania, as Douglass of
Illinois, with hundreds more OF brilliant minds
he may we'll forgive with plying regret
senSeless factionistS, and such epithets as
those Of the editor Of The Register, and rest
Ieasy on his pillow, confident that The "Union
is %safe," and his administration in no imme-
date danger of collapse. As 10 the referring,
Of tlle'edifor of the Register, 10 the old explo-
ded story Of Gen. Pierce Jainting on the field
Of battle, it is,in character with many other
Of his silly illusions, and the only way 10
characterize logic and misrepresentation like
that, is TO class il as the production of one
who is either a knave or o fool. That silly
falsehood originated in the shameless columns
of some journal, controlled by such men as
tie editor Of The Register, who never riskeda
hair Of their heads, nor expended shilling for
their country, but who remained at home du-
ring the Mexican war, lending 1'aidnnd CON-
forp' 10 The enemy, and defaming the inslitu-
tons, for which 10 preserve, such brave men
as Gen. Pierce, were p~eri'ling their lives in
The red throat Of battle !! 1t is coincidence
that might be treated upon with valuable re-
sulls, that in proportion as the enemies OF The
present administration labor 10 depreciate The
OF President Pierce, they bewoil The
decay of free institutions, the generalization
oil the people, and HE downfall of the repub-
lic. They only look back upon the past and
mourn thntits blessings have not been con-
lInucd; Trey only look forward 10 the future
as 10 the tomb Of civilization and freedom.-
They do not see The sialwart and progressive
population that surrounds them on every hand;
they canno; see the triumphant march OF Anne
Ican principles and American prosperity. 1t
IS not, therefore, 10 be expected, when the
lost Of fanaticol jackdaws that have kept up
continual chipping against the administration,
been ban1ed and beaten by the quiet ex. I
nipple OF a conscious and Courageous patriot,
hey Should not return 10 such charges, as tie
di'or OF the Register has made, on every con-
enient occasion, and with superadded venom
nd violence.
In conclusion, we hope, Tor the safety OF
he Union, the happiness and prosperity OF The y
that should The editor of the Register =
ersist in his attacks upon the President, he :
MI endeavor 10 preveei them from reaching y
Is Excellency-especially during The present .
period, when he will have so many .
ther important matters TO perplex him. We =
arm that some wretch, not having the safety 9,
the Union at heart, ror considering the Il
'elihgs OF The President, forwarded a copy of L
lie paper containing the beautiful epithets p
'plled TO him, and that in consequence, lis 81
IN lbrlum was every much disturbed'' and
ars wee entertained that he would be unable n
'Ifnisl his Message in time for the meeting of ,e
bat later advices inform us stit is fl
and the Union remains undisturbed. a.
Id that franklin Pierce's prospects of a re. m
are brighter than ever! So mote 10
be.
