Pierce Abandoned Z


A contemporary in his Yesterdays issue re-
joices in the following language:
Mr.. BUcHANAN.--The reader will perceive,
from an item in our telegraphic column, that Mr.
Buchanan has reached New York. His true friends,
and oil true Democrats, win rejoice at his oppor-
tune arrival because 1t affords him an opportunity
at once to put stop to the suicidal system Of adj
vocating his nomination, to which imprudent men
among his immediate friends are now resorting."
So then, poor General Pierce has lost his
most trusty, well-beloved, erudite, valiant, cum
ming, shrewd, brave, courageous heroic, re-
doubtable, devoted, disinterested, intrepid,
highfalutin, 6lack-mail friend and our aforesaid
contemporary has gone over to "old Buck, /" after
having received pap, patronage, pickings, and
plumber for the last two or three years, and

The Rev. Nathan Rice, of St. Louis is distin.
guished as vehement and powerful opponent o
Popery. 4 few days or nights ago, some silver
was stolen from his house. Shortly afterward !,
was returned to him by Catholic priest, who pro-
fessed to have obtained il from the thief through
tho medium Of the confessional.
! The anti-American papers want to know whether
the Rev. Mr. Rice would have got his silver again,
If the person who stole it had belonged to Pro.
tsstant instead Of the Catholic Church. Most like.
ly If that person had been member of Protest
ant church, the silver wouldn't have been stolen
at al. =
To us Il ID no particular recommendation Of the
Catholic Church that one Of its members stole a
gentleman's silver plate, and gave it up only when
compelled 70 do 80 by the priest 10 whom be con.
fessed his crime. And we cannot help thinking Il
little remarkable that the only gentleman In 81

and returned by Catholic priest s Prcsbyteriau
clergyman, and the most prominent foe of Popcry
in All that section Of the West. The thing looks
