LuSESBURG. April o. lo"O'
cor,,ouon. After had retired last night wa
or,.J from nv slumbers by my Servant, nahnl.L
,no n cnnv of The Richmond Daily Whig OF iHst Oh
turd.y sent TO me by friend, with more cfN,is ~
st,rf,,u 10 An article in il signed "ksnd"ipll. i'i'
c il 90 basriy scurrilous ~, perhaps NOT 10 merit
or" n,t; and should not rotce it but for the fea
,bnt some who read the Wing might he missed Us l'
h sentiments Of the Democracy Of LunenOurg III TO
etion TO Mr. Pierce and his administration.
The writer says but iiually, after several Gbor
five efforts, in which they altered and re'"ered th'
brcs,olory they succeeded in framing resolution
r.m,ng;zing Inc administration Of Ginsr6i Pierce IL
yrry yrandiloquent strains, but ut the same Time
very mudeslly declaring their unwilingness 10 trus
him again. :,
tlamau but will give the sum and substance oil III,
resolution of which he speaks. 1t simply expressed
IN plain and uuequivocal language, (n"t very gran
diluuuent) the cordial approval of the admlnIstrn
lion Of Mr.. Pierce but dIsclaimed intending by TIL:
IN express any preference for amy particular Indvd
ual Tor the Cincinnati nomination:
From whit could observe, the hrst part OF me re-
solution met with the unanimous approval ol tie
meeting; upon the second, the house was divided.
Now Messrs. Editors, is it not strange that thls re-
solution which WAS the substance Of The expression
at sentiment of the Democracy OF the state al tie'I
State Convention in Richmond, which was construed
Inv the lending opposition paper in the State, mt
an expression OF preference for Mr. Pierce, should b'
construed by "Rundoph" into an expression OF nl
willingness to trust him ngulnl IL SHOWS, ciearIy

The pentlemau-il, indeed, may term him SUCH
has been 90 long engulphcd i'll the labyrlnthian ton'
of the secret order, that his phyeca and mental vi
sion has become iutolerant to the glazing light OF the
unerrited Democracy of Lunenburg, and no DOUBT al
the ludicrnus things which be imagined he saw III t't
Democratic meeting were produced by his own moro
scope like taking voyage on salt river, Uo'
Which voyage ho and his party are no" preparing
and whose head becomes giddy imaSlnes 'he trees vi
the banks are in motion.
The gentleman has Every modeStly cohpIeu 1IE
own name with that OF Mr. Jefferson. What uesec'a
ton! "Polonius. Very like & whale.
From the self.complacency with which the gentle
man writes, he no doubts considers himself one I"
