mitting plain statement Of facts, leaves It to the
judgment Of the Legislative power 10 apply the con-
stitutional remedy"
We suppose the Union conductor rs the
"patriotn mentioned in the first line OF the
extract, and it is refreshing to bis faith"

from undue excitement" to see how cataa
Frank Pierce isl
We don't exactly understand how any such
man can put on a face to call himself patriot
who cares only for the "loaves and fishes"
nor can we discover what Frank Pierces calm
ness has to do with the faith of patriot,
even were such title appropriate TO him who
usurps it. But let that pass, there is some
thing far more interesting in the sequel Lo!
and behold
"The Chief Magistrate, with whom is intrusted
the whole executive power, is calm and unmoved
by passion and irritation I" "There
is no unknd or offensive word uttered by him.
He even intimates no rebukel" !"

That Congress which has been unable to
agree, the chosen Representatives of the peo-
pie who differ in opinion as to measures of
policy,--the coordinate branches of the Federal
Government, whose fixed hour of adjournment
arrived before the army bill was passed-haye
not been kicked, cutsd, cursed, or abused by
the peoples seroant, Franklin Pierce What
moderation! What forbearance! Isn't he a
good -natured, mild and amiable, sweet-scented,
gentleman, not to doff his kid gloves, and be-
labor congressman with bludgeons, nor even
to curse their impudence for disobeying his
commands
Why, the kind-hearted and well-behaved fell
low has submitted to enough from this Con-
gress "to make preacher swear" Only
think of it Bill after bill, which had been
passed, contrary to his opinions and contrary
to the Cincinnati platform, and to which he
had responded peto--" forbid ii, /" had been
passed in derogation of his authority-in def
ance of his remonstrance, and in disregard OF
his wishes He had been overslaughed at Gin.
cinnati, abandoned by parasites, -slighted by
partisans,--defsd by thepeople's agents, and
laughed at by outsiders Could saint stand
all this ? Yet good easy man, he has borne
il, without cutting off heads-hanging people
upon gallows or burning up the Capitol
Is the man of the Union mad Does he
assume that even President Pierce has the
right to call in question-much more to "re-
buke," (aye, that is the term,) to "REBuKE"
the representatives of the people? Has Pres
ident Pierce right to be otherwise than
"calm? ?" has he right to be moved by
"passion or irritation" in addressing Congressg
1t is not for President Pierce to say aohat Con-
gress shall do--each House acts upon its own
responsibility to its appropriate constituency,
as the President acts upon has responsibility
to the country. He may check legislation by
oeto, but "REBUKEs" are not for him to utter |!
He is no mans master, save has whose bread
is earned of him by sycophancy and fawning
and the Washington Ueion-man may give us
the names of such, when he chooses to furnish
the list of hirelings who conduct his journals |!
" "Re6uke," indeed President Pierce ere
6uhea" Re6ukes come more appropriately
from different quarter. Aye, and they have
already come with vengeance! The whole
country has united in "rebuke" to this miser-
able Administration and it's contemplate head
"a "rebuke" given "by .authority,"-
administered effectually, and approved uni-
gersally!
In our Judgment, the conduct of the Repub-
lican faction is without excuse-but it was not
for Franklin Pierce, whose course has brought
about the sectional strifes which exist,--it was
not for him who created that Republican fac
ton, and of whose action complaint is made.
to utter one word in the language of "re6uke."
Rather should he retire to the granite hills of
his native State, and there in sackcloth and
ashes-with tears of repentance-with deep
contrition and in humble prayer, atone, so far as
atonement is possible, for the folly and reck-
lessness, of his Presidential lifc
