Four Years Progress.

The Washington Union, to advance them
terests If Mr.. Pierce, states as a rule of ac-
ton on the part of the President, that
''No free soil democrat need hope for ia
yor or reward, or recognition as democrat
at the hands of President Pierce"
During the tendency of the Presidential
election of 1852, this same Union, claiming
to be the special mouthpiece Of Pierce, said (:
"The Free Soil Democratic leaders of the
North are regular portion OF the Demo
cratic party, and Gen. Pierce, if elected,
'ciH mike no distinction between them and
the rest OF the Democracy in the distribution
Of official patronage, and in the selection of
agents for administering the government
Pierce is very plainly believer in ''pro-
gress,' and this is the extent of his four
years advance.

the South.


The New York Herald, a devoted Cotton
sheet, and .,rce reyiler Of Black Republi-
eanism, has recently been somewhat excited
by the insolent and overbearing tone Of the
southern press and Southern politicians.
In an article under the ca ton OF ''Tho jug
glers Of the Cincinnati Convention, it SAYS
some very sharp things Of its Southern breth-
rem, and has the following pungent paragraph
on the operation of the two-thirds rule
That two-thirds rule, in fact, has given
heretofore 10 u small and factious minority
in these packed conventions, the destinics Of
this great country and its masses Of independ-
ent, hbertyloyng and Intelligent people !:
and from the same source we can expect
nothing but tht same consequences again

to have the Democratic press Of Iowa re- pub

Of the two-thirds rule for the enlightenment
