FRtEyD HIGoIEs:-I am now at home in a
quiet, cool, and comfortable New England
town among the hills Of the old Bay State.
Every thing around, above. and beneath,
wears a quetness unknown in the great
west. Nothing, absolutely nothing to disturb
ones thoughts from rowing over the whole
earth after something to divert the mind
Such stiffness as reigns among'these hills, and
mountains, is enough to calm tue weary
mind, and l had almost said the troubled
whirlpool Of our political country. Not SO,
there is a deep feeling Pervadng the people
of this section of country. The good and
vrtuous are being alarmed in regard to the
affairs of our nation. Nothing can exceed
the Indignation manifested towards that con-
temptible ca!s-paw, Franklin Pierce, who now
disgraces the Office of President, and ellis"
the presidential chair-fills did l say? no
no. Take an old cotton sack, and stuff it
with old refuse cotton.-daub it over with
lampblack, and write in large letters Franklin
Pierce upon it--then place it in the presi-
Dental chair, with Marcy in front, Jefferson
Davis on the right, Caleb Gushing on the
left, and backed up by Striugfellow, Atchi-
son, Brooks, Donaldson d Co., and you
would have better President than the one
that now occupies it, and one more acceptable
to the intelligent people of these United
States, or the greath North at least
While on the cars there was but little said
on the subject of politics, because there was
very little opposition to Fremont. While on
my way from Buffalo to Albany there was
man sitting in the seat in front of me that
did not like his looks, and appearance, and |
spoke to one near me saying | must look out
for my pocket book; but time passed on, and
10 and behold learned from his conversa-
ton with a gentleman seated beside him, that
he was a supporter of the administration Of
Pierce Notwithstanding his syowal,
thought that had better be on the lookout.
This Pierceocrat, was the only passenger on
the cars, to my knowledge, the whole dis
tance between Toledo, Ohio, and Westfeld,
Mass, who supported the present backsliding,
doWnfalling, negro catching, and nigger
worshiping administration
While on The Boston train of cars, became

monty called Quakers) by the name of Doug
lass, who had labOred two years in Kansas

Our Democratic friends are as busy as
naiors in circulating all kinds of reports
about the Republican nominees, and the man
ner in which they were nominated. They
are the best friends the defeated candidates
for nomination ever had and cannot see
how such good men were rejected and such
scalliwags" adopted Ifitwas their case,
they wouldn't stand il! Well, we can only
be sorry for men who have to resort TO such
means TO secure hope for the future. The
Republicans are not made of that kind Of
material, and so into convention to abide by
its decisions when they are as good as those
made On Saturday last.
