be forced upon hin, and acting full up 10 the
great Democratic and truly republican princi-
pies Of popular sovereignty, State Rights, and
a Constitution strictly construed, FRANELIN
PIERCE has manifested himself the President Of
the Nation, not OF party. He lives in the
hearts of all national men. He will live on a
bright page in our country'S history, as states
man, who, despite the fanaticisn and false pa
trlolsm raging wildly around him, with cool
deloeration and calm Judgment, marked out his
course. and, with hXedness OF purpose, pursued
it.
Resolved, That the Hon. JAMES BUCHANAN
is a Statesman Of whom, as Prnnsylvanians and

nifty, ability and zeal.

MIA and the Union on the election of the Hon.

cracy Of the State has proved herself, free from
fanaticism and sectoua!ism.

Nebraska enactment Of 1854, and recognize as

mining for themselves.

mericansnI, sly led know-nothingiSm. We have
no sympathy. We look upon it as the child of
/ bigotry and craven fear: as antI-Amercan, ar
/ ti-Republcan, ant-Protestant, unchristian, and
against the spirit ofthe Constitution. We need
not war against it. 1t wants but TO be let alone
! to die a speedy death. The icy fingers of the
grim monster are already graphing with its
! heart strngs-ifi it has any.
/ Resolved, That cordially endorse the p
/ lection Of HENRY S. MAGEAw to be State Trra-
snrrr able Lawyer, and a of sterling in
tegrity, he is eminently suited for tbp position

we feel warm regard, as an undinching Demo-
crat, and clever gentleman, and an honest man.
worthy to fill any position in The gift Of free
people.
