A FRIEND OF LIBERTY.

Ex-PREsIDENT PIERCE ON THE WAR.--Thc Boston
Post publishes a letter from ex-President Pierce,
which concludes as follows
"The very idea of the dismemberment Of the
Union has always been to of terrible signii-
canoe. Still, if it holds place in the inevitable
march of time-if the noble fabric must totter to
its fall-there is. humbly hope. no memorable me-
cessty that its ruins be stained with gore. If our
fathers were mistaken, and time has developed in
our system, or If the madness of their sons has
planted there the germ of an "rrepressibe conflict
which forbids us longer to live together in peace,
then in peace and on just terms let us SEPARATE
Fearful will be the responsibility Of those who would
cast the last element of human woe-that of arms
for fratricida slaughter-into the general chaos
The wisdom of man fails-may God in mercy guide
us.

Mr. HOLDEN Permit me through the columns
Of the Standard to state that the pursued by
the above named gentleman, is looked upon by all
good and loyal citizens in my section of country,
alike creditable and patriotic and receives the
mendaton of all with whom am conversant We
all think there is entirely too much haste and too
much precipitancy the part Of our leaders in mat
tiers pertaining to such momentous consequences
In the end there nothing to be gained, but much
to be lost Men should have time for reflection, if
you wish them to be satisfied with their leaders,
themselves and what they have done in the future,
when passion subsidies and reason returns.
We also concur with Mr. Henry that the Conven.
ton has assumed entirely too much power; the peo-
pie we think, should have a voice in matters in
which we are all so deeply concerned. Let us OBJ
serve moderation in all things; rendering to Caesar
the things which are Caesars, and to God the things
which are Gods.

might at any moment when they chose to

we have thought they were playing a bold

A Day Of Fasting.


This fourth day Of January, 1861, has
been set apart by the Old Public Func-
tionary at Washington, as day Of Fasting
and Prayer We have not taken pains to
inquire whether any one here proposes to
observe the day in the manner designated
or not. Bat we do insist, without intend
ing to be sacrilegious, that the praying and
fasting, if done at all, shall not be wholly
on account of the woes that have befallen
our country; but shall be more particular
ly aimed at the cause thereof, and that
supplications for James Buchanan shall be
offered up to such an extent as man never
was known to be prayed for before. Let
petitions be sent up in his behalf common
surate with the onormity of the sins he has
committed, and let them be ACCOMPANIED
with thanks to the Almighty that his sands
as President of these United States are
nearly run. 1t should be day of Thanks
giving, we submit, quite as much as one
Of fasting and prayer.
1t is only five or six years ago that the
fair plains of Kansas were devastated by
the bloody and inhuman hand of murder,
arson, and rapine, when three thousand
elergymen of New England petitioned the
President to stay the monstrous work of
lniquity, and were turned away from his
august presence with vulgar rebukes and
contempt. 1t then was out of order for the
religious clement of our country to inter
tere with the events of the day as they
were then transporting; but nor the tune is
changed. Freedom and Humanity then
were being violated and their rights could
not be protected, nor could the entreaties
OF the christian world be heard in their SIM
port. Now Treason aud Traitors are at
work, and after they have been permitted 70

We wish we could view the matter in
better light and give the President credit
for good intentions, but we cannot W.

A Friendly Hint.

We would remind those Of our Demo-
cratic friends, who are sympathizing with
the secessionists of South Carolina, by es-
pousing their cause and justifying them in
the attitude Of hostility they have ass lmed
towards the General Government, that
there is such thing known to our laws as
Treason to the United States, and that
it is defined to consist in ''levying war
against them, or IN odhcring to Msir. enc
mics, gicing them aid and comfort" They
may not be aware of it, but it is a fact
nevertheless, that the penalty Of such
crime is DEATH; and We wish to barely
make the suggestion to them that they
had better be discreet in their movements
hereafter, lest they become amenable to
the laws and some day, when they are
least expecting it, find themselves in a
more elevated position than is desirable
with their feet dangling in the air and no
foundation upon which to rest A simple
intimation of this kind, we presume, is all
that is necessary to open their eyes to the
folly and lawlessness of the course they
are pursuing, They undoubtedly have
acted thoughtlossly in what they have done,
and not with the intention of committing
any reasonable acts. At least, let US be
charitable enough to think SO, until the
contrary is made satisfactorily to appear

The Administration Disarming the North
and Aiming the South.

and Arn1ing the South.
While the Administration of Buchanan
is billing and cooling with the Southern
Rebels who are trying to bring about the
destruction Of the Union, it is also treacb-
erousiy betraying the North into the pow
er OF the revolutionists, as it supposos, by
transferring all the Government ordnance
arms and ammunition stored in Northern
Arsenals, to the Southern forts. This an
pears to be the game now playing bv the
Federal authorities.
From the Government Armory at
Springfield, Mass, from the Government
Arsenal at Troy, n. Y, from the Arsenal
at Pittsburgh, Pa, and we presume from
all other Northern and Western forts. ar
senals or armories, the best of the heavy
cannon and nearly all the ammunition have
within few weeks past been ordered to
the South-and there is every reason 20
believe that Secretary Floyd, the seccs-
sion traitor who is at the head of the War
Department, is taking advantage Of his Of
fetal position by thoroughly arminc the
Secession States and disarming ali the
others.
If this is not so, what means this trans
ferring of the Federal arms and ammunition
from Northern to extreme Southern forts
at this particular time!
The Executive department of the Ma
tional Government is not only refusing to
coerce INTO submission, but actually arm
ing, States that are plotting rebellion a.

ed enemies of the Government and of the
Con.cderacy. Just think of it Disarm-
