From the n Y. SUNDAY Atlas.
The Anti Pierce Entertainment at the
New York HOteI.
Oar expose of the private political festival
at the New York Hotel, on Friday week,
created terrible commotion in the ranks OF
the spoils seeking politicians of this CITY; and
some of the Pierce office holders who were in
attendance-and who listened with evident
approval to the sarcastic onslaught OF Beverly
Tucker upon President Pierce, have had the
effrontery TO deny that any such ovation was
held The EreniRg Mirror very rudely pro-
nounced orr account bogus, and volunteered
to assert that there were no political speeches
made on the occasion; and all that did transpire
was at the regular dinner table.of the hotel
where number of politicians were soIournlng
in the presence of the ladies boarding in the
house. Now, besides the speeches of Tucker,
Fornev and Sanders, we have the report of a
speech made by DetrOi, editor at the supper
which we think no gentleman of taste would
make in the presence of the refined ladies of
the New York Hotel. The orator likened the
President of the United States and his meas
ures, to the Frenchmans female parrot, whose
eggs he sold at a high price to his neighbOrs,
who were eager to possess birds of like de-
scription, by setting them under their hens.
To one lie sold a crows egg to another
pigeons, to another q ducks, to another
buzzard's, and so on. At length, by natural
process, they produced chicks of various
breeds. but not parrot when all who had pur-
chased them in expectation of obtaining a
parrot came forward to denoGnce the French
man as a cheat. Each victim stated the kind
of bird that had been hatcded from the egg he
had bought, but the Frenchman insisted that
the eggs had all been laid by his parrot; and
the only way ne could account for the variety
of feathered bipeds obtained from them was,
by charging his 'pretty Poll" with promiscu-
Gus intercourse with the males of all the feath-
cred tribe-she was one dam old .tilte de jOie!
And so said this table orator, at this dinner
where the Mirror says the ladies of the New
York Hotel were present, it is with Frank
Pierce; he is one political wanton, laying all
sorts of eggs, so that his friends cannot calcu-
late with any degree Of certainty what kind
of birds will be Matched from them. We
thought we had genuine parrots egg when
he was elected as the champion of democratic
principles, but he has Matched out a brood Of
birds Of various breeds, and among them sew
eral buzzards!
We understand that our friends present who
hold positions under the federal government,
and who profess to be advocates of the Presi-
dent, fee greatly aggrieved at being suspected
of a disposition to desert the fortunes of Gen
eral Pierce, in advance Of the crowd of Office
holding democrats who are preparing 20 leap
on board the steamer James Buchanan the
moment the bell rings.
If President Pierce suppOses that among
all the army offederal office holders in this city
there are twenty who think he stands the
smallest chance of being nominated at Gin
cinnati, he is as egregi1usly humbugged as
Captain John Tyler was in 1914, when he was
induced to believe that the city of New York
was unanimously in favor of his election.
President Pierce has no friends among the
people OF New York who desire to see him
re-eected and his office holders, who heart
lessly profess to be in favor of his renomination
know it. Why do they fear to tell him III
truth 10 regard to his universal unpopularltyl
The hearts of the democratic masses are
unanimous in this city for james Buchanan;
and no other candidate that has been named
could raise a dozen voices in his favor outside
of tie Office holding and Office seeking tribes
who are ready to sell themselves to anybody
who will prov de for them comfortable place
at the public crib.
James Buchanan, beyond all doubt, can
poll ten thousand more votes for President, IN
this city, and fifty thousand more in the State
than any man that belongs to the democratic
party. He can easily carry the ELECTORAL vote
of New York, Iand that is more than can be
honestly claimed for any other asPlrants for
the nomination at Cincinnati.
The democracy of the State of New York,
aside from the party tricksters, are as firmly
and as enthusiastically in favor of Mr.. Buch-
anan as the people of Pennsylvania and New
Jersey Let the Cincinnati Convention ven
ture upon the slaughter Of "Old Buck" under
the pretext that ''new man" Is required to
ensure success. and away goes New YORK,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and New jersey, TO the
standard of black republicanism! Mark the
prediction, and cypher up the result after
election.
From the Washington correspondent of the
Herald, we learn that the select Buchanan
dinners at the New York Hotel have produced
Ii prodigious excitement among the political
scher eTs in the federal capital, who have
reason to fear disastrous effects 10 Pierce from
the liberality of Forney and Tucker, in ieedng
the hungry disciples OF democracy with
champagne and oysters. The subject has
been considered by Gen. Perces Cabinet, and
instructions are said to have been issued to
Cochrane and Fowler to head off the operation
of the Buchanan missionaries by the estab.
lishment of sn administration dining and win
ming rendezvous at some other fashionable no.
tel, where the weak and wavering may be fed
aud strengthened. The Herald's co,resPon-
dent says
Certain it is that those Buchanan free din
ners, at their head quarters in Broadway, have
made stir among among the rival cIiqnes
here and you may depend upon it that some
thing will be done To neutralize these Buchan-
an oysters and champagne and therotherwise
lamentable consequences to the stomachs of
the weak aud vaoiilatng floating materials OF
the party.
