No sooner was Mr. Pierce firmly seat.

Utterly incapable hiu self Of originating
ANY measure which might enti,le him TO
tne distinguished consideration Of his
southern friends, MIR Pierce, with that
low cunning which is always the accom-.

on and Adopted each and all of the plans
Of lis COM e,itors. and with the aid of
his execu,,ves position, ~endsavored to

take advantage OF, and while they have
contrised TO make him bear all the infa.

their presidential schemes, they have Sc.
cured 10 themselves sLs principal share
Of the profile of each transaction. With
that blindness and obstnacy which is al.
ways the result Of ignorance. the weak
tool Of A,chison, Douglas, and Butler
has been unable to discover the real game
which they were playing at his expense,
but has persisted in carrying on, their
programme against the advice of nis tru.
es, friends, aud against the o~f,.repsa.ed
warnings Of his country's prulois..
Like Mr. Ti,mouse, MIR Pierce has
squanderec millions on the harlol slavery
while refusing to bes.ow. even in charity
a single though, upon %virtuous li5er,y.-
Oazzled by the pomp and circulns,anc
Of his position. he has either Sullisd and
threatened all who came within the
sphere OF his action, or crouchingly fawn.
ed upon those whose Known physical
prpwess made IL dangerous for him TO ate
tack. He has involved his country in
irrc,rievable disgrace abroad, and himself
in unmisigased con.emp, a. home. Even
those good actions which his folly has
led him to perpetrate. return 10 curse him
while those which were the offspring Of
his spleen aad petty malice, afford him
not The slightest prospects Of presen. OF
future satsfaction. He has com pleiely
upset the whole machinery Of our eov.
eminent. changed It's policy. ignored the
principles OF its founders. and a, tho
present time has no, a single landmark
BY which 10 guide his admlpuirsuon.-
Freedom has been l.amplsd in The duet,
lis shrine cesecrated, and slavery and
piracy made the prominent features OF
The government. Plantation discipline
has been introduced INTO those same halls
OF Congress whore Jefferson and Madi,
son. Monroe and Adams, Jackson and
Van Buren,. and the whole host of u
brave and true patrlo.s, proved over and
over again, their devotion to the rights of
man aud The principles Of self govern
men'. And now, JUS. al this point when
the climax Of his absrrdilies seems 10
have been reached; when his las. bid
for slavery has been taken; who's war
with Graa. Britain is imminen, because
OF her refusal TO permit the spread Of the
peculiar institution to Central America:
when piracy in Mica ragua. big hway rob.
berry, arson. murder, and all the crimes
consequent upon the hostile invasion Of
Kansas, when murder in the capital, and
outrage upon tree speech in The Senate
chamber have been consumated, and
when oil the guarsn Ties Of constitutional
liberty have been uprooied and destroy.
ed, with the aid Of his official influence,
and legslizec by his official sanction, he
goes before the Cincinnati Convention.
