Franklin Pierce, his anteccdents
and his Hecreaney.
Committee.

A short time since we presented, with some
comments of our own, some resolutions
adopted BY a meeting in New Hampshire on
occasion of the reception of "Goy." Dorr,
of Rhode Island. The resolutions related
to the nature Of the issues involved in the
Rhode Island struggle, and were drawn up
by Franklin Pierce himself, who was present
and participated in the meeting. They were
entirely consistent with the position taken
by the Democratic party generally of that
day, but in their letter and spirit entirely COW
er the case Of Kansas, and justify the proceed
ings of the free settlers. On the premises
which they lay down, il would be impossible to
condemn any of their proceedings, or to re-
fuse the admission of that Territory into the
Union as sovereign State, with the Consti-
tuition they have laid before Congress. The
grounds Of DORIS claim will be remember
ed. With lawful government then existing,
thirteen thousand nine hundred and forty
four voters cast their ballots for new gov
eminent, on q day set apart by the adher-
ents Of Dorr for taking the census of pub
lie opinion, and claiming these us votes OF
bona fde ictizens, and large majority Of
the voters Of the State, they founded there
on their right to inaugurate the new govern
ment and establish the new constitution.
Recapitulating these circumstances, the res
olutions Of Mr.. Pierce emphatically affirmed
the rghtfulness of their conduct, maintain
ing that such an act being done by the peo-
pie in their sovereign capacity, acquired tbs
character Of paramount law, and the phil
osophv on which it is based is given in the
fourth Of Mr. pierce's series of resolutions,
which we publish once more, viz
Resolved That when the people act in their

Hope.
BY SCHILLER

We speak with the lip, and we dream in the soul
Of somo better and fairer day;
And our days, the mean while, 10 that golden goal
Are gliding and sliding away.
Now the world becomes old; now again il is young
But "the betters" forever the word on the tongue.
At the Threshold Of life Hope leads us in
Hope plays around the mirthful boy;
Though the best Of its charms NAV with youth BE-
gin,
les for age il reserves It's tow
hen we sink At the grave, why the grave has
scope
Aud over the coffin man planeth--HorE
And II is not dream of fancy proud
With fool for its dull begetter
There voice at the heart that proclaims aloud,
"We are born for something better !"
And that voice of the heart, oh, We may believe
WIZ never the hope Of the soul deceive
