The Boston ChronieIe recommends to the slav-
cry extension Democrats about to meet in nation
al convention at Cincinnati, the nomination of
franklin Pierce and Preston S. Brooks, for the
Presidency and Vice Presidency. as the
appropriate ticket tnat could possibly be got up
TO represent their cause. with a coward al the
head of the ticket, and sssin at its tail" it
would be eminently fit one for the support of
s party, all whose representatives in Congress
Except three) voted against any investigation
into the murderous assault upon Senator Sum
ner by the rufian embodiment of South Carolina
chivalry.
Brooks being Pierce man, it is the most nat.
ural thing in the world that Pierce should be
Brooks man, las far as the Vice Presidential
Office is concerned In the contingency of the
success of that ticket, (which Heaven forbid .
should have rulings in all the discussions Of
the Senate, which would forever thereafter pre-.
clude the expression there of a l sentiments
which the presiding officer might deem in any
degree indecorous to the little kingdom of South
Carolina, from which he halls, or to the admins
tration, of which the Palmetto State is so warm
supporter.
This Preston S. Brooks wrote a letter home
from Washington, on the 10Th of February last,
in which he recommended the sending of dele
gates from South Carolina to the Cincinnati Con.
vention, (Which was afterwards dome and strong

ground of the laters services for and devotion to
slavery. Brooks said, among other things:

leading southern gentlemen, and confirmed by
the two last and glorious messages of the Presi-
cent II the entire South fails to sustain, and TO
demand the re election OF Gen Pierre it will be
guilty of suicidal ingrattude."
This rufian Brooks says elsewhere in his letter,
with-the same GOODNESS and deliberaton with
which he undertook to murder Senator Sumner

OUR PEOPLE th1n aug man noto living. prefer
him 10 anybody"
Then he goes on to urge the withdrawal of all
the other candidates in favor of Pierce, saying:
THE contest for the Presidential nomination
VIII De between Pierce and Buchanan The an
seeedents OF Buchanan good but those Of Gen
rlerce are better General Pierre as the cho,ce of
the Sou h, and in State l do not think that
one man in hundred objects to him.
This is plain talk, and it shows the relation Of
sympathy which now exists between the extreme
slavery extensionists of the South, and the pow
ers which now rule in the nation. Indeed, what
more fit candidate for the slave power could be
proposed, than Franklin Pierce, and what more
ft man to put on the ticket with him than South
Carolina rufian : Let Pierce and Brooks be
nominated at Cincinnati, by all means.
The propriety Of such ticket is further sug-
gested by the statement published May 9th, that
the Massachusetts, delegates to Cincinnati, in
Washington, (among whom are Chas q. Greene,
Whiting Griswold, Collector Peaslee, George W.
Gill. Sc.,) gave dinner Friday last, the day
after the assault on Mr.. Simmer to this Brooks,
Keitt. and others Of that stripe. The Washing
ton correi pondent Of the New York Herald,
writing under date OF Thursday night last, says
"a large number Of the Massachusetts dele
ga'es TO the Democratic National Conventionl
arrived here this evening. Six Of them were
speaking Of Mr. Summers difficulties, when four
declared their hearty approval Of the whipping,
