Senator Hale used Pierce UP so es-
sentallv, by his speech in the Senate, that it
IS probable he will retire ingoriously from
the Presidential Chair, without even the com
pliment of q respectable vote in the Cincin-
natl National Slavocratic Convention.
We very much regret to see Pierce killed
80 stone dead, and feel sure that Mr.. Hale
did not design, with malice prepense, thus to
murder his victim outright. He should have
bethought himself and dealt his blows more
gently, and not expended giants force on
a pirmv. But the deed is done and cannot
now be helped.
We must therefore make up our minds to
battle against some other leader, who has
not been so prominent and active during this
squatter sovereign and border rufiian reign Of
terror. pierce's antecedents will lay him on
the shelf. and some old fogy dough-face viii
BE taken III il LIS stead, We should have
preferred 10 have made the issue directly with
Pierce. who has carried on the war, mar
shaded his mercenaries t. repeal the time
honored charter Of freedom and backed up
the rufians Of the border in their hostile fo-
rays upon the sovereignty Of free suffrage
aud the rights Of free people. Or falling
in that, we should have been pleased to have
seen Douglass, the Northern fllibuster and
ambitious traitor to freedom, in the field
But we fear we shall be disappointed of
both these, and have to put M with stereo-
typed, old fogy Buchanan, who once prayed
that if there was drop of Democratic blood
in his veins it might be let out, lest il should
conaminate the purity Of his Federal Inc
age and character.

1HE AMERICAN PARTY AWAKE
FROM many portions of the State we
near the most gratifying news that the
American party begins to arouse and
prepar' for the great contest to come
Meetings have been held in San Fran
cisco, Ell Dorado and Tuolumne, ratifv-
ing the nomination of Fillmore and Dom
Alison with great good will, and enthu-
siasm unsurpassed. Letters were read
at each of these meeting which showed
the great heart of the party is in the
right place and as strong in its pulsa-
tlons as ever--the leaders all over the
country being still true to their nr;nc;
pies and allegiance.
The phalanx press had wasted vol.
umes of foolscap and no inconsiderable
quantities of brain sweat to prove to
their own satisfactionthe Americanlnartv
was past resuscitation. But recent de-
monstrations will suggest to their lulled
and self-satisfed intellects that more ar
gument OF a stronger nature must be
used, and that more potent suporifc is
needed to quiet their fears in future.

SOMETHING WORTH REMEMBERING -
Phil. II. Herbert, the murderer of the
Irishman, Heating, left his duties at
Washington to attend the Cincinnati
Convention Honest men considered his
presence at such place an insult, and
desired his exclusion earnestly. Among
them was Thos. Darcy McGee, the
editor of the Celt, and Irish organ, pub
lished in New York As a democrat he
addressed note through the public
journals to the Convention asking the
members of that body to cast out the
murderer from their ranks. Did they
listen to his entreaties 2 Nc, the re-
quest of respectable and distinguished
Iishman was treated with contelnpt.--
The fellowship of the notorious criminal
was preferred by the Convention, to the
good will and influence of a gentleman
who speaks the sentiment Of all ais
countrymen.
The letter of McGrc WAS c04tenpi
uouslv thrust aside aud Herbert admit
ted to a complimentary seat as an hon
orary member of the Convention
These proceedings of the Democrats
party of the Union, coupled withafhe
abuse in this State by the democsst
press, of those foreigners who have stood
side by side with native citizens in snp-
porting the Vigilance Committee, and
clearing the State of rascals, ought to
open the eyes of adopted citizens to the
fact that their friends are not q. pays TO
be found in the party making the rast
pretensions. Better to trust to the part
that believes in few rights and grantr
them all, than the one prating of equal
ity but whose practice is contradictier
to its professions.
Irishmen will remember that Keatine
is in his grave, and his murderer is hen
ored with high seat in the democratic
synagogue. Foreigners will bear nmet
ory the vile abuse heaped upon the,u fo-
supporting morality and justice in si-n
Francisco in opposition to law anc md-
der, and remember that democracy ic
the bottom of their wrongs.
