South The articles the wbig and virgnian however

merits grant that the times mperatvely demand OF the
South this line Of action
On our part, ready to confess that Mr.
Pierces professions and part of his actions are per-
fectly satisfactory to the South But there is part
of his conduct which we do not like so well We
have the authority Of the Washington Sentinel for
the assertion, that Mr.. Pierce has used the patro-
mage of his office 10 pamper and foster the Free Soil
erS and to Cypress and prescribe the Conservatives
of the North. For this reason we do not think Mr.
Pierce merits get support and Judging
by the signs around us he will not have the support
of one in a hundred of the Democracy of Virginia
Unless then the Recorders alternative be better than
Pierce, and the evidence be conclusive that he is we
should make nothing 10y taking him.
But SuppoSing the Democratic nominee unexcep-
tionable these points, still differ in toto from
the Recorder, to the policy of substituting the De-
mocrstic candidate for Mr. Fillmore We think the
nominee of the American party, under existing cir
cumstanceS has the iarest chance for success. The
Democratic party at the North has been almost an
initiated by Mr.. Pierce the greater portion Of what
remains OF it, is deeply tainted with Free Soilism,
and will probably cave in TO the Black Republicans
The imericdhs AT the North have stood the Black
Republican fire. We know they can be relied on
and with the aid of the Conservative Democrats they
can certainly win the victory. Why throw away a
certainty for an uncertainty, Why give the Black
Republicans the advantagc--the immense advantage
which the OUTS always have over the ms. by put
ting up Pierce or another shackled with the
same official irons: Fillmore is reliable--he can be
