Richmond daily Whig. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1842-1861, 1856-01-19

Pierce stock seems to be rising rapidly in all tn,
Southern States If il were not FOR the ravenou,
appetites of the out, of the Democratic party, and
their consequent ndi>poston to rcinstall the pre-
sent dynasty, upon the ground that il would most
likely still exclude them from any participation in
the offices of the country, should almost certain
lv conclude that Pierce would L." communicated "'
Cincinnati. At all events, his prospects are daily
improving; aud we should not be surprised to see
majority Of the southern States in hi, favor on the
first Monday in June.
The State Convention Of the Democratic party Of
Alabama which held its session on the sth instant.
adopted, 10y unanimous vote aresolution endorsing
the administration Of President Pierce, aud recon-
Inending him for denomination at Cincinnati ~
the CAarieston Mercury obScrves-which has ais,
declared in favor of the denomination of Pierce the
proceedings of the Alabama Democracy cannot fail
TO exert great influence upon other Southern States.
We subjon the resolution the Alabama Democracy
adopted, interesting item Of news for our rca-
der- and a special and emphatic admonitiou To
Mcssrs. Hunter and Wise, who are 50 completely
ignored 10y their party in this extreme Southern
State. Mr.. Wise, particularly, ought to feel very
much mortified For it will be recollectcd that 1t
was Alabama which he frlnucally greeted ''wth
datcd chest and expanding nostril>, standing up-
the shore Of his home But here is the
resolution:
III That the administration Of President Pierce meets
cordial approval, and tir bold aud statr-ultike
enumeration Of constitutional pncpl iu bis Ir.
sage the Congress n the United States entities him
especially the gratitude OF the South aud this couver
ton earnestly recommend him tp she National Democratic
Convention Tor nomination candidate Tor election
to the office Of President Of the United States"
This, submit, takes the wind completely out oi
the sails Of Hunter aud Wise, so far Alabama J.,
concerned. The Bdgadier has stranded them utter
ly. We guess they now wish that his annual me-
sage was still in his brccche>-pockct It L. that that
has killed our Virginia Cock Robins.
As the Virginia Democracy will assemble in coun-
Gil in the course Of a few weeks We deem it our lu.
ty to spread before them one or two other resolu-
lions, which were unanimously adopted by their
brethren of Alabama. We allule particularly tn
the 9th and 10th Of the series which are i'm these
words:
"p. That the delegates the Democratic National Con.
ventiou 10 nominate President aud Vice President ar
hereby expressly instructed 10 insist that the said COiye
ton shall adopt platform Of principles ~ the basis of ID
National organization. prior the nomination Of clti-
dates, uncquvocly asserting in substance the following
propositions j. The recognition aud approval Of the
principle Of noniutervcnfon by Congress upon the l
ject OF slavery iu the Territories 2 That no restriction
or prohibition Of slavery 10 any territory shall hereafter
Oc made 10y any act U Congress That no State shall
bc refused admission into the Union because Of the %
VI slavery therein g. The faithful execution and
maintenance II the Fugitive Slave law
10. That 81 said National Convention shall refuse io
sdOpt the prppOahot embraced in the preceding t.o.
ton our delegates % said Convention ate hereby positive
" instructed to whdrw thoreirom"
We are anxious 10 see what sort or Lrogramu,.
the Virginia Democracy will put forth Nearly au
the other southern States have adopted resolution.
similar to the above We will not believe for q r,o
ment that the party in Virginia will refuse To rn,,r..
the position, which has been so boldly taken l,y tl,
brethren in Alabama though we should not b, .,,,
prised, IN consideration of their great love of u,.
spoils, to find them little siaiy boo thc knee. H,,
the 2yth Of February will show %. what thew ara.
Meanwhile, We advise the friend, of Wis ma.
Hunter 20 stir their stumpf a little more ,yoro,.l ,
The willy Bugadier is fast displacing them In the n,
fcctions Of the Southern Democracy aud ,nl,
they make an earnest aud effective rally. and .hoy
up Notwithstanding the fair aud pleasant profession
Of his message the Free soil acts Of his Exccllcnc,
they viii not be heard Of again in the contest An
wouldn't Il be blasted shame for our high Virgni
boods to be out wittcd and made 10 bite the dust
. one cent man real live Yankce-fro the pr,
mite hills oi New Hampshire Al the pride an
pluck Of their natures should be aroused aud shout
revolt 81 the huniliatng thought Let them pric
their ears aud take this prcsumptuous New HAM
shire bull boldly by the horns That's their onl
means Of safety.
