Refusal Of the Citizens Of Concord to R9ooivo Pres-
ident Pierce.
About one thousand voters of tho citizens
Of Concord assembled Mt the Depot Hall in
that city Monday evening, agrccably to IA call
" to make arrangements to give u public re-
coption to Franklin Pierce" Tho meeting
was called to order at O'Clock by Gen. Low.
An attempt was made by the Democrats to
control the meeting by forcing upon it John
II. 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 Gen. Low declared George elected.
The latter, in the face Of the manifest oppo-
sition to him, came forward to assume the
duties Of the chair, but was received with n
shower Of Kisses. Gen. Low finally stepped
forward and acknowledged his error, and
George was then allowed to make an expll-
nation Of his position.
Gen. Chandler was then chosen chairman.
Gen. Low then made n short address in IA
yor Of giving to Gen. Pierce a grand recep-
tion without regard to party. lie said that
he was once an opponent Of Gen. jackson,
but when tho old hero came to Concord he
did all he could to give him a grand rccop-
ton. He believed that those who now diff.
lorcd with Gen. Pierce politically would yet
live to see tho day, as he had done in the
case Of Andrew jackson, when they would
