Virulent Abuse Of Pr resident Pierce.-The
Now York Day Book, in perfect good temper,
addresses the following Just and pertinent re-
marks to those prominent and controlling par
tisans of Mr.. Buchanan who are engaged in
attempts to blacken the private and political
character Of President Pierce:
GIVE hope to be written down as the blind
devotee of no man but at the same time we
cannot submit in quiet to the detraction with
which the political position of man who has
fearlessly and ably administered the Govern
ment is studiOusly assailed. Has he not vim
dictated the laws at home? Has he not main
tanned untarnished the traditionary glories of
Democratic sway Has he not identified him.
self with the principle of the Kansas-N ebraska
bill so thoroughly as to be the chief mark Of
the mahgnity of its opponents? These things
has he done and more he has procured to be
taken in the reciprocity treaty the FIRST prac-
teal step towards national free trade-a doc
trine dear, most dear to every Democratic
heart. Such is the statesman-the man in his
social relations beloved, in moral position un.
tainted, in vigor of mind and susceptibility of
heart the p0ssessor of envied excelIencies
this man is not to be disposed of by the gall
that flows from an envenomed pen. Lock to
it-look to it, friends Of James Buchanan, that
you no longer persist in such gross Injustice
that you refrain from ribald electioneering
and that with a magnanimity worthy Of your
favorite, honorable to ourselves, and even
profitable to your schemes. treat others as
mon, even though they, too, have advocates
among the good and the worthy for the high
est Office in the gift of the people.
A Site Selected.-The Secretary of tho
Treasury has selected as the site for the new
U. S. Custom House and Post Office at Alex
andria, tie lot on the corner of st. Asaph and
Prince streets, the property of Mr.. VIM. n.
McVeigh. 1t is 1O2 by los feet, and the price
to be paid for it is s13. 900. As soon as the
necessary examination of the title shall have
been made by the U. S. Attorney, and the
title shall have been perfected, the proposals
for the construction of the building by con-
tract, will be issued.
The Current Operations Of the Treasury

there were of Treasury warrants entered on
