Of Monday, November Is, 1852:
'sBut, in reference to the cabinet, and in
reference to the home policy, the appointment
policy, and the vast and paramount foreign
responsibilities Of the pew administration,
We have got word or two say. Let it suffice
our readers Just now that all the antecedents
of General Pierce are in his favor-that he is
o man of talents, experience, ability, saga
city, and common sense, in q high degree
that, from all sources Of information, we may
rely upon him in full faith and confidence
that he contemplates the tremendous task be-
fore him as q sacred mission assigned him to
perform, and with that careful deliberation of
man resolved to perform it to the best of his
abilities
TEE EDITOR THANKS GOD,
For IL Corrisponded with the Opinion of the
Hon. Z. Burke, who had said That he had
known Genl. Pierce for, years, and that he was
a high toned Gentleman, a man of integrity
and honor, and I thanked God for it. As I do
when any good has happened Or is about to be
Conferred Upon Our beloved Country.
TIE EDITOR CALLS SERIOUS ATTENTION TO WHAT
HE HAS TO SAY, AND LAUDs THE PRESIDENT.
Fslloso Citizens. 1 now ask your serious
attention to what here say. What has Pres
iden. Franklin Pierce done that displeases
you? Have you any grievances that he has
not redressed. which was in his provence to do
SO, in accordance with his sworn oath, to up
hold the Constitution and laws of the United
States Of America! Or do any you believe
that he has violated his oath of Office? If So
when, and where? Or under what Circum
stances has he proved false to that SOlom Oath,
That each President Of the United States is
bound to take before he enters upon the duties
of the President.
HIS CONTINUED MEDICATION OF THE PREsI-
DENr-A KIND WORD PoR THE CABINET.
Then if he has not, what has he done to
offend you? Is it in choosing such man as
James Guthrie Secretary of the Treasury,
That had lived and acted in his own State so
oponants, when they saw he was improperly
assailed? Or that of James G. Dobbin for
Sec Of the Navy. who has done more to elevate
our Navy than any other since the time Of
Washington? Or jeff Davis as Sec of war who
will yet prove himself as he did at the Battle
Of Beunavista,

ertson it was has timely aid that gained the
day, had Col. Davis not come up as he did all

say If it was not for the frmness Of Hon jeff
Davis our army would have remained behind
the age.
