MISTER franklin Pierco,

No President ever entered upon the duties of
his Office with such chances of immortal honor a.
did Franklin Pierce. No man was ever chosen
with such unanimity. No man was ever more pop
ular with his party. Nobody could find out that
be had ever done anything, hence they could not
reasonably accuse him of anything he had done
rrong. He was a modest and a common man,
very, who had won his way into public life
nobody knew how, and had been nominated for
the highest Office in che gift of this yonng Re-
public--nobody knew why!
Sand still he gained, and still the wonder grew,
That one small head Could carry all he knewl''
Well,-November came and he was elected
triumphantly elected over all opposition-only
of the 81 Statee casting their votes in the elcc-
toral college against him.
1t was q most auspicious and pacific time.
Treaties of amity and treaties of reciprocity had
brought our International troubles to an end
compromise and concession had stilled our inter-
nal feuds.-the flag of truce had been unfurled
over the banks of Newfoundland by his prede-
esssor, and the calumet of peace had been smok-
ed among the Seminoles, along the Rio Grande
and around the forti6cations Of the much coveted
Cuba. Industry sent up her busy hum and mnr-
mer of contentment from q thousand villages
the golden wealth of America was waving on all
our broad prniries; and the whole country, happy
and at peace, seemed sleeping upon the bosom OF
political millennium Such was the posture of
affairs when Franklin Pierce stepped from his
private carriage into the political chariot and
assumed the reins of government. The navies
of the world were brissling at his wharves. Com.
merce had spread her white wings at all his
ports; the wealth, and honors, and emoluments
of nation lay at his feet, and from them
had he proved true to his country, and true to
his own coavictions-he might have woven for
himself crown that would have been imperish-
able, and would have hung like a diadem eff glory
upon tho forehead of his future life. You all
know, readers, Uiat he did.
The South bartered with him for the whole
North, and gave him bale of Carolina cotton
in exchange. They bought his soul for a bundle
of Virginia smiles-and got cheated at that
When the ion-saving, lberty-losing, Hunkers
gathered together in convention at Baltimore,
Pierce was there, and when those mopntsbanks,

PRoPHErIc.-One of the most remarkable
and significant incidents which has transpred
during this campaign, happened at Hale's Eddy
on Saturday last. An immense number of
Fremonters had gathered to have pole-raising.
The pit was dug for the pole, but just as the
assemblage were about to commence the oper.
alton Of raising, a magnificent large Buck burst
out Of the adjoining woods, and being confused
at the unusual sight of so many mortal ene-
mics rushed madlv into the throng and fell with
bullet in his heart in the very pit dug to set
the Fremont pole in.
Such shout as the people sent up at that
termination of the wild Bucks race never be-.
fore startled the echoes of those sombre noun
tains Of the Delaware. The lifeless Buck was
dragged from the pit, and the pole raised, and
and there it stands as monument of the fate
of James Buchanan.
Homesdale Democrat.

N~ Matters in Dakota County are nike

CV Matters in Dakota County are mixed. At
Mendoza, Gibbs (Republican,) received a good
vote--at Hastings he received but few votes,
whilo Adams received scarcely any at Mendo-
ia, and large number at Hastings. This is oc-
casioned by local differences, Adams being in fa-
vor of removing the County seat to Hastings,
while Gibbs is in favor of letting it remain where
it is, at least of leaving the settlement Of the
question to the people. As it is a Sc free fight"
we are quite willing to wait patiently for the re-

ca We notice with much satisfaction the ex-
tention of Robert-St., as it progresses, and the
vigor that is cutting through the Bluff fifty feet
deep to effect more immediate connection with
the Levee. The Bluff is already divided, and in
few weeks we shall look in that vicinity for o
new public thoroughfare. One thing though,
gentlemen, for Heavens sake, and posterity's
sake, make one road wide enough. There are not
two roads in the city that afford any elbow room,
or place for people to breath. Let there be ven
tillation-and let US remember, in fashioning our
city now, that the future is bigger than the pre-
sent, and as we are narrow or liberal in our do
nations, so shall we receive the merited rebuke
or thanks of generations yet to be.

Handsomely Done.

We cannot speak too highly of the very hand
some manner in which the Republicans of Hem
nepin County have acquitted themselves. In the
Minneapolis and Saint Anthony Districts they
showed bold front--worked nobly and won a
glorious victory. Wales, the Republican candi-
date, led Fridley by SO votes. Chase, Repub-
lican, for the House, led his opponent, Moo
dy, l22. Bassett, Republican, for the Council,
led Hancock, DEM, "a. And so throughout the
whole ticket the Republicans are far ahead. All
honor to our friends of Hennepin County!

SMITH ELEcrED.--From present indications
Robert A. Smith is elected Treasurer. Although
McGrorty has % majority at Manomin, which re.
duces Smiths vote, still the latter is ahead some
five votes, and unless Crow Wing comes in against
him (Which is not likely,) he is elected beyond
doubt. This is great triumph for Smith.

political predictions of Mr.. Hetchaman, of St.
Anthony, who was run on both the Democratic
and Republican tickets. The Pioneer has Pc
culiar and ingenious method of getting out of .
bad scrape, and this is one of them. Hetchaman
is staunch Republican, was nominated by the
Republicans, and his election is Republican tri.

BLUFFED AGAIN Certain officials of this ter

have been offering to bet their thousands on the
success of Buchanan, but Ben Campbell (who is
now in St. Paul and others have bluffed them.
Not bet that has been offered in this city on the
probable election of Buchanan, has been fully
carried out when parties have been found ready
to take it. The truth is, our opponents are like
the boy who whisted when going through o
graveyard-they wish to keep up their courage.
