DOUGH- DlUkNALlsTs DISTRACTED

Seating ourselves last night TO our evening diver
son-we refer to the stated perusal of The Journal
of Commeree-we found only one absolutely de-
ligbtful artcle-pleasing because it proved to
demonstration that General Franklin Pierce will
not, cannot, and should not be the Democratic can
didute for the next Pfesidency-proved it by his
promises solemn and registered, not to be the can
didste, which promises We are cordially willing 70
believe that Gen. Pierce will keep; because be will
not have an opportunity of breaking them. Tbs
remaining space of this number of our favOrite
newspaper was devoted to "Old Brown" Senator
Seward the so-called Harper's Ferry Insurrection,
tho wicked Republicans, Charles Sumner, and
Joshua r. Giddipgs. The last named offender is
KNOCKED down with gem Of logic of the largest
sze and purest water, which is furnished BY Con-
necticut gentleman, who probably studied the pro
found science Of logic 10 Yale College, aud has often
perused Jonathan Edwards. Mr.. j. X. Giddings
says that Brown never consulted HIN IN regard to
his Virginia expedition" "But be does not
/" say continues this sage "tbat DO never con
" suited Brown" Ia NOT this charming Brown
never consulted Gi,diogs but Giddngs mag have
consulted Brown. A very one sided consultation
indeed In fact, a 'su,atiOn without the con- To
this prodgious proof Of bis mendacty Mr.. Giddings
is called upon to reply. Perhaps he will. But let
us 60 on! The Journal pays the pretsiest compli-
ments to tie Southern Press, the moderation
of its conductors having filled our neghbOr with
admiration. TO demonstrate this it quotes various
articles, full Of such phrases as "diabolicsl
scheme" "wretches,' "outrage," etc, etc.
T6sn The Journal falls upon Dir. Seward, who is
charged with being in the plot, because he positive
ly declire having ANYTHING to do with il, and re-
GREETED that it had been mentioned to him. II
would be pretty reasonable sequ'ter that Mr Sew
ard did hat be could to dissusde Forbes from pur-
suing bis scheme-there is no evidence that be did
not-in fact Forbes's letter proves that the inter-
view with Mr.. Seward was far from satisfactory TO
himself. Besides, Forbes m,y have talked, and We
suppose that lie did talk with Mr. Sc ward about
very different matter. Then Mr. John P. Ii sic is
logged in By The Journal because be was not con-
suited by Forbes about any thing. Senstor Samper
ia the same loose way is arraigned, because he OK
pressed q wish to have matters put straight
what matters not appearing. Aud upon the
strength of this The JON nal cries: "Will the peo-
"pls of the United States sustain party whose
LEADERS countenance and uphold treason, and
Z" WIKI at theft and murder7" We thiuk not
Considering the Dorr rebellion, the wioking AZ the
slave trade and the mild manner in which tho az
tempt to murder Mr.. Sumner was regarded in
certain quarters aud the Kansas Outrsges general

"for the purpose Of lending the moral weight of

Courier will have it that they went to Boston to
rescue the slave, to force revolution and to fights

People must judge for themselves. We take the
