Coloma. Saturday Morning, January 5, 1856


Pierce, Marcy s. Co., is about to reach crisis.
This pie-bald concern commenced business with
great profusion of sweetscented professions vouch
safed to the world in the Inaugural, all of which
have been kicked aside, and never regarded. Next,
Marcy undertook to court the good opinion of the
Dutch farmers in the vallies of the Mohawk and
Hudson, by regulating the cut of coattails, belev
ing that if he could convince the country of his
ability to manage a national tailoring shop himself,
he would be immensely popular in the 'rural dis
trcts," and regain the credit he had lost many
years ago, when his britches were patched out of
the Canal fund.
Then Marcy and Pierce dished up q batch of
Free Soil and Abolition appointments in New York,
and appointed all the Free Soilers recommended by
Senator Douglass including two Van Buren, electors
of 1S46. The South hereupon, grows offended,
and directly Bronson, of New York refused to sleep
with John Cochrane without kicking The great
Free Soil platform maker swore Bronson must be
removed and he was removed accordingly. About
this time, Pierce, Marcy and Douglass found them
selves On hot griddle, with the South kndling
fire under their toes Douglass invented the Ne
braska bill to eXtricate himself, but Senator Dixon
seeing how nice Douglass & Co. were getting along
moved an amendment repeating the Missouri COM
promise, thus taking the fire from their bstered
feet and heaping it on their heads. They squirmed
awfuly, and directed the Union, their official doc
tor, to call Senator Dixons amendment "a Whig
scheme to dissention in the Democratic party J"
The Union said this boldly but Senator Dixon did
not finch, but required the little giant" to atone
for his sins. Pierce Jdintcd and Marcy turned his
attention to tailoring. Douglass seeing q good
chance to secure Southern votes for the Presidency
"caved in,'' and let the amendment pass Pierce
and Marcy finding themselves behind Douglass, and
seeing Seward grinning at them and the Democra-
tic party split into factions contrivcd Ostend con-
ventions, and plunged the nation into war with
Greytown, expecting to escape the execration of
the people in the smoke of bamboo huts and the
excitement about Solon Borlands broken nose
The Cuban speculation being also failure Pierce
concluded to appoint Roeder Governor of Kansas to
please the New England Aid Society," and then re-
moved him and appointed Shannon, to please the
South both parties are offended and a civil war in
Kansas is proclaimed. At this, Pierce trembes in
his boots, and Marcy tremblcs in his brogans-
Meantime the London Times drives out the British
lion to growl at the President the President IN his
agony swears that Caleb Cushing has made all the
trouble, and Douglass is taken sick Then Gen.
Walker, and his tea-party Of Fillibusters loom UP
in the distance, court-martialing and shooting the
officer of friendly power and the chosen minister
OF Pierce and Marcy looks and vocifferates amen
Mlstortunes never come single we have an Indian |
war on the Pacific coast, fllibustering on the South
civil war in Kansas, and British fleet in the At
lantic making preparations to frighten the admin
istration to DEATH Congress too is quarreline like
kelkenny cats the Democracy quarreling in New
YORK, quarreling like dogs with soar cars every
where and the Democratic party in California all
up Salt River. All these wars and dissensions grow
out of the violations Of the Baltimore Platform of
1852 The last dodge of the administration of
which we are advised, is the hurrying back of Ex-
Senator Gwin to California to stave off senatorial
election this winter.
See the deplorabe condition of the country under
this Pierce administration Its inhabitants being
slaughtered in Indian wars because Jeff. Davis
quarreled with Gen Wool and civil WARM Kansas,
because Douglass wanted to be president, and a war
with England brewing because Marcy has had bis
'o uu tttentlon all turned TO the retail trade OF
his tailor shop. There never was time when the
country was in so lamentable condition as now
The administration universally despsed all over the
world, and the Democracy who feed its drippings
stultifyng themselves every day; claiming for this
party and administration /" nationality" is redicu-
lous The administration and party is ring
streaked and speckled abortion from the begin
ming to the present moment
