Notes and Clippings.
Too FAsr--The Brownstown Qhd9 Democrat
says Al ss
President Pierce win no doubt have plurality
Of the delegates at the National Convention favor
able to his re election, He viii get nearly all the
Southern States, and Maine, New Hampshire, Yer
mont, Rhode Island, Connecticut Delaware aud
Maryland, in addition; but the two-thirds rule may
and probably WILL defeat him. t1.'.t 'n
The New York News thinks this statement
leetLe too fast Thus far, Alabama ID the only
State which has declared for Pierce's re-nolnina-
tion. Georgia. Mississippi Tennessee, Kentucky,
Indiana, Ohio, Iowa. Wisconsin--none of these have
declared for him. Even the New York Softs de-
clined the risk The Maine delegation is certainly
against him. The only delegates pretending to be
in his favor, he has, thus far, are from Alabama,
Vermont and Massachusetts,. The Brownstown
paper may rely upon it that if F. Pierce were to
go into the Cincinnati Convention as candidate it
would not require the two-third rule to defeat him.
though that rule will of course be adopted.
We had supposed that Pierce had purchased
more, but the money does not seem to have been
well expended. noaa errat
PIERCE "BLAcR REPUBLIcANIsM."--Mr James
e. Quinlan, the editor Of the Hard, Nebraska, Old
Line Democratic paper--the Watchman---at Mon
ticello, New York, has been removed from the
post office of that village, and Mr. +. A. Devoe,
the editor of the Soft, anti.Nebraska, Freesoil pa
per, the Union Democrat, Ia paper controlled by
John c. Holley, the Soft delegate to Cincinnati,
appointed in his stead. Mr. Quinlan says:
1--WE believe the credit Of our removal belongs
to Isaac ". Fowler, John Cochrane, Ex-Speaker
Ludlow, and George B. Woodbridge. Ludlow was
Ia Washington week to accomplish It, we are in
formed Having BEEN convicted of lyipg 80 clear
ly that he was dumb; he was a fit instrument oi
the men who employed him"
And he proceeds to show the opinions expressed
by Postmaster Devoe and Delegate Holley on the
Nebraska bill, in 1854
From the Union Democrat.
REPEAL OF THE MISSOURI CoMrRoMIsE.--We re.
gret to say that this great wrong has ut last been
consummatcd in the House Of Representatives BY
reference TO the Congressional proceedings in an
other column, it will be seen that the deed was
done by a vote of 100 to 100 Of the 33 members
from this State, 81 voted against the bill and
for It, We are pleased to find the name of our
representative, Mr. Murray, recorded in opposition
to the measure.
The following are the nine gentlemen who voted
for the repeal. They will probably obtain leave at
the next election to stay at home: s#
Messrs. Westbrook, OF Ulster; Rowe of Sche-
nectady; Taylor, of Owego; Cumming, Of Kings
Walbridge,l Walsh, Tweed, Walker, and Cutting,
from New York.
From the same.
THE Hon. WILLIAM MuRRAY.-We have failed,
except by Implication, to commend the course pur-
sued by this gentleman on theIissue of freedom or
slavery In Nebraska. To say that his course meets
tie appreciation Of nine-tentls of his constituents
L Il. en- 10y ..4l ...l.
have we any fears that he will initiate bad ex-
ample, by voting like an honest man at Washing
ton, and, when he returns among his constituents,
swallow his professions and act the demagogue.
His public course just6es the confidence which the
Democratic party has twice reposed in him. He
has not attained his present position by wire
working tricks, and back-room appliances to dele
gates pledged to other persons. He has discharged
bis duty nobly, faithfully, honestly. Let him be
re-nominated What say the electors?
Es From the same. asH e..H
The Albany Argus publishes the speech deliver
ed in the House Of Representatives by the Hon.
Rufus w. Peckham, of the Albany district against
the Nebraska bill but avas itself Of the occasion
TO dissent from the conclusion at which he arrived
as well as the views which naturally led to it, Our
Albany contemporary viii find, however, that the
electors Of that county will approve of the vote OF
their Representative against the violation of sol
enn compact, notwithstanding its dissent and will
manifest their approval in a substantial manner.
That Mr. Peckham truly represented his constitu
ents, in voting against the Nebraska bill, the Ar.
gus will scarcely have the assurance to deny.
WAsHrNeros u.s. ST.. PArRIoK.--While "Ameri
cans" on all hands were busy making preparations
for the celebration of Washingtons Birthday--22d
instant--it was given out that:
est. Patrick's Day (l7th March) viii be gener-
ally observed by the Irish Societies Of New York
and the adjoining cities. The Ancient Order OF
Hibernians of New York, Brooklyn and Williams
burg, the Hibernan Benevolent Society," the Mont
gomery Benevolent Society, and the Benevolent
Society of the United Sons of Erin, have agreed to
take part in the procession"
OF all foreigners among us, the Irish Roman
Catholics it would seem, most reluctantly fuse
with the Americans. England has her st. George,
Wales her St. David, Scotland her Saint Andrew,
France her St. Denis, but neither Englishmen,
Scotchmen, Welshmen, nor FreDchmen, have the
bad taste TO make the streets of American cities
the scene of demonstration that has reference TO
purely foreign custom. Even the Irish Protest
ants generally keep aloof from these cannish pro-
cessions-and, remembering the scenes of disorder
and tumult, Of which they are too often the incen
tive, it lie much to be regretted that the Most Rev
.ereDd Archbishop Hughes does not issue a Bal
con6ning 81. Patrick in doors. 1t is not too late
yet, perhaps. York Erpres.
