FRANKL1N PIERcE vs.. THE PREsIDENr.-There
has been great revolution in the opinions of
democratic politicians since the Dorr rebellion
in Rhode Island. The same kind of popular
sovereignty which the President now threatens
to put down by force of arms in Kansas, was
zealously advocated by Mr.. franklin Pierce in
1872 At the Dorr meeting held at Concord, n.
H., in that year, Mr.. Pierce wrote, proposed, and
made speech in favor Of the following resolu-
luton:
sssResolyed, That when the people act in their
original sovereign capacity in forming and adopt
ing new systems of government, they are not
bound to conform to any rules or forms of pro-
ceeding not instituted by themselves
If this is sound doctrine, the free State men
of Kansas do not deserve to be stigmatized as
they have been by the President, on account of
their having formed new Constitution without
the authority either Of Congress or the Terrific
rial Legislature

An OLD DLrxER.-Ex.Senator Browning, who
went over to the Locofocos during the session of
the last Legislature and labored for hem all win
ter, who even led the conspiracy to defeat an
election of U. S. Senator, by disqualification, it
seems is now desirous of again palming himself
off as an "old line Whig," species of cattle, if
he be fair sample of the whole lot, of which
the Douglas and Nebraska party have reason to
be proud. We infer he intends to try the trick
again, from the fact that his name appears to the
call for meeting here in April, and from the
following paragraph, which we find in the last
Ottumwa Courier -
The following choice morceau we find written
on the margin of copy of the Courier, returned
to us this week by the Hon. NJ. D. Browning,
State Senator in our last Legislature, from Des
Moines county. As it is the first piece of black
guardism which we have received from any
source since we came into this office, we do not
feel at liberty to withhold it from the public
Mr.. Browning sent back paper some weeks
since, but as there was balance due from him,
we did what we had a right to do, and continued
to send the paper, as we shall continue to do,
until he treats us as gentleman should, and
calls for and pays his bill. His violation of the
Post Office laws is no matter Of ours perhaps, but
his pretensions to be an old Whig, or any kind
of Whig, is. He belongs to the Democratic,
Pro-slavery oligarchy, and it is pity he can't
be induced to follow the more honorable and
consistent course Of Mr.. Claggett, and go over
body and soul to the party and to the principles
to which and to whom he belongs He can't be
at home anywhere else. But to Mr.. Browning's
delicate and gentlemanly marginal note
eff this were an Old Line Whig paper, would
slike to receive it, but having gone over to Alb
"olitionists, who can't see anything south of Ma
sson l. Dixon's line, except Niger in the fence
'corner, will be obliged to you if you will keep
"the D-d thing at home.

sY The Louisville Journal and Boston Post,
generally speaking find it convenient to let each
other alone, but not always. The Louisville
Journal lately perpetrated the following, which
will doubtless be paid for in due time:
Our contemporary of the Boston Post has not
always enjoyed high reputation as Bible stu
dent. We remember that many years since, the
edi or ofthe Dedham Patriot annouced that
wag had imposed upon the editor Of the Boston
Post the fifth chapter of Mathews Gospel as
original article and that its origin not dis
covered until the foreman OF the Office detected
it in reading the proofsheets. The Dedham Pa
triot said that the editor Of the Post offered five
dollars reward for the discovery of the author of
this attempt upon the Biblical reputation of the
Post. We do not know whether the writer was
ever detected.

rORT MADISON, IOWA, .
March Sth, 1856.
MEssRs. EDITORS Several handbills have
been sent to me and other wings of this city
calling for rally of the "Old Line Whigs," at
Marion Hall in Burlington the 18th day of next
month. Inotice appended to the call the names
Of old and tried wings, for whom I have strong
personal regard, and who believe are actuated
by pure political motives.
But, fear too great reverence for party ties
and time-honored name misleads and induces
those ''old Wings" to participate in their pres
ent movement. For the slavery question" des-
troyed the nationality of the whig party several
years ago; and, Mr.. Webster, whose name they
invoke in their whig call, himself pronounced
the dissolution of the Wing party, as National
party, few days before his death.
ot For my part lam free to confess that l was
not much influenced by Mr.. Webster's declara-
ton, because his change of front" on the slave
question had caused me to doubt the accuracy
of his teachings !; but when on the introduction
of the bill for the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise, saw nearly the whole of the slavehold-
ing wings of the south desert their ancient whig
colors and 'sform into line" under the black p
ratical flag Of slavery aggression, led on by such
men os Pierce, Douglas, Atchison Il Co., then, 1
say, did fully realize the truth oflMr. Websters
declaration.
Mr.. Clay's name is also invoked in the call for
Wing rally at Burlington. regard Mr.. Clay
as the greatest, wisest and purest statesman of
his day and know of no act Of his public life
which reflects as much honor and glory upon
his memory, as his procurement of tbs passage
Of the missouri Compromise Act 1t preser-
we'd the Union for the time and consecrated the
soil Of Kansas and Nebraska to freedom and
free labor. It was co-equal with the famous JEFF
ferson proviso in the ordinance ofl7s7, and vim
dicated the Republican sentiments of the Decla-
ration of Independence.
Ihave therefore come to the conclusion that
Old Liae Clay Wings land any other sort of
Wings / consider as bogus and uncurrent) will
best vindcate their ancient principles by uniting
for the present with the Republican movement,
in the effort to have the Missouri Compromise
Bill restored to the statute book of the United
States or if that shall fail, s'to fght on, and fight

"TfdHr Parras.-The nomination of Mr..
Fillmore BY the National T. n. Conyention-his
Enforcement By the old fine wings everywhere
and last Of all the ratification Of bis noIaina-
ton BY the K. n State Convention at Iowa
City on the 5th inst, taken all together, have
made il slight papers' with our neighbors Of
the Hawkeye. They are apparently, little in
favor Of Fillmore and little more against him
they are little in favor of Sam, but good deal
more in favor of Sa,nbo-they shake hands and
pass the grips with Know Nothings, but grumble
considerably about the K n platform In fact
they look TO us good deal ike folks, who had
come TO the conclusion that they can, and they
cant-they willard they won't-theyl II be damned
II they do, and they'll be damned If they don't. :"
We cut the above from the Gazette Of Tuesday
Il Is specimen of the fair dealing Of that sheet.
The position Of the Hawk-Eye has not been
equivocal since we controlled its columns, as its
readers very well know, and as the writer of the
above classic tit-bit is just as well aware as any
of them. Unlike the janus faced ex-editor of
the ex-Genius ofLiberty, who presides over the
Gazette, we have always pursued a straight for
ward and consistent course. honestly advocating
those measures we we're convinced were right
and just. The mercenary. calculation which
wonld put up the influence and editorial
ability ofa paper to the highest bidder and sell
out to the party paying the best, is thing we
leave to men who make merchandise of their
souls and prostitute what little ability God has
given them for mess of pottage. So long as
We speak at all through the press, we shall speak
our honest sentiments, and speak them openly
and boldly. We never yet lost the friendship
or patronage of any body, where the first was
sincere or the second valuable, by such course.
But did We know that by continuing to oppose
the extension of slavery, as we always have and
always shall do while any good result is likely to
follow, we should lose the valuable support we
now have, and make the publication Of the Hawk
Eye alosing instead of paying business,we shod
not be deferred from the line of duty While
there Railroads to be built lands to be brought
into cultivation, and thousand ways open where
industry, sobriety and intelligence can acquire
an honest living, nay even a competence, we
shall never degrade ourself below the condition
of the African chattle in the southern cotton field,
by selling ourself to corrupt party, faction or
clique. From such degradation, good Lord de-
liver US. 1t would deprive the hard life of an
editor Of all the joys and pleasures incident to
his position, and make him thing Of scorn.

RICHARD CABLE, Sec'y.

WILL He AccEpr?-It seems to be considered
by no means a surething that Mr.. Fillmore will
accept the Amrican nomination, under the cir
cumstances.' A special messenger should be
sent at once to Rome for an answer and if yea,
the lucky man should be brought back instanter;
for what business has the standard bearer of the
American party to be hobnobbing with the
Pope, and enjoying himself among the Jesuits
of Rome? Would Live Oak George under the
circumstances be thus Indifferent to the cause?
Never, never. Send for brother Fillmore with
out delay. The brethren can't hold their ground
on the Hudson while their Generals is enjoying
himself with the Pope among the ruins of the
Tiber. 1t can't be done.--N. Y Herald
