Refusal Of the Citizens Of Concord to Receive
President Pierce.
About one thousand voters of the citizens of
Concord assembled in the Depot Hall, in that.
city, last evening, agreeably to a call, to make
arrangements to give public reception to
Franklin Pierce" The meeting was called to
order at seven o'clock by General Low An
attempt was made blythe Democrats to control
the meeting, by forcing upon it John 81. George
as permanent chairman. When the motion to
make him chairman was put to the meeting,
the response against it was three to one, but
General Low declared George elected. The
latter, In the face of the manifest opposition to
MIN, came forward to assume the duties of the
chair, but was received with shower of Kisses.
General Low finally stepped forward, and &C.
knowledged his error, and George was then al
lowed to make an explanation of his position.
General Chandler was then chosen chairman
General Low then made short address, in
favor of giving to General Pierce a grand re-
ception, without regard to party. He said that
ne was once an opponent of General jackson,
but when the old hero came to Concord, he did
all he could to give him great reception. He
believed that those who now differed with Gen.
eral Pierce politically, would yet live to see the
day, as he had done in the case of Andrew
ly as jackson is now esteemed. This remark
was instantly met with a terrible shower of hiss
es, and simultaneous "NeverI Neveri"
which told the true feeling of the meeting.
Mr.. F. l.. Flint offered resolution that it is
lnexpedient at this time to tender to Franklin
Pierce public reception by the citizens of
Concord.
George G.. Fogg, Esq, editor of the hide
pendent Democrat, supported the resolution,
and arraigned Franklin Pierce, holding him
responsible for all the outrages that have been
committed in Kansas. For this, an attempt
was made to gag Mr.. Fogg down, but their OPP
ponents were too strong. The sentiment was
repeated, and vociferously applauded. Others
made speeches for and against the motion,
when the resolution was adopted, and the meet
ing was adjourned.
Those opposed to the reception then retired,
when the Democrats reorganized, and agreed
to give General Pierce reception themselves.
From California.
Los angeles, august 26, l956.-In no other
community, in no other portion of the country,
has the nomination of John G. Fremont been
received with greater satisfaction than in Cali
fornia; and, more especially, in this part of the
State. This was the theatre of his operations !;
1t was here that he established his headquarters
when acting as Governor of the country; and,
among all the officials who visited the Pacific,
none were so highly respected or acquired in
greater degree the affections of the people with
whom his official duties brought him in contact
Among the native population, who reside al
most entirely in the southern counties, and who,
from their greater numerical force, decide the
political complexion of the south, Fremont will
be supported with entire unanimity. They all
admire him for his courage, respect him for his
sterling honesty and integrity, and love him for
the uniform kindness which he manifested to-
ward them.
The native California vote is sure for the
Pathfinder. That the vote of California will be
cast for her adopted son, is beyond doubt
Modern Democracy, with its Biglers, shoulder
strikers, ballotbox suffers, and Congressional
rufians, has aroused the masses to an energy
commensurate with the imminentdangers which
threaten our liberties; and in the recent move
ments of the people in their majesty at the city
of San Francisco, resulting in the overthrow of
the horde of political scoundrels who have so
long and so effectually ridden over the liberties
of the people, the friends of progress and i'm
provementthroughout the State are emboldened
to persevere until she shall be purged from ras
cality of every hue and dye.
From the mining portions of the State the
most cheering news IS constantly reaching u.s.
Fremont, Jessie. and Railroad Clubs, are being
formed and filled up with rapidity and enthu-
siasm only paralleled in the election of 1910 !;
and the ides of November will, as far as this
State is concerned, carry disappointment like a
whirlwind to the ranks of the Slavery Propa-
gandists.
/ notice that some of the Atlantic journals
are indulging the hope that California will
cast her vote for Buchanan, which, with Penn
sylvania and every Southern State will secure
him the election. This is vain hope for Cal
ifornia is certain for Fremont, and any antici-
pations predicated upon such contingency
will meet with disappointment.
