Ex-President Pierce.

The Dover Enquirer says: "Gen.
Pierce thinks that moral suasion is the
only weapon which should be used to en-
force the laws and maintain the govern
ment. He didn't think SO when he was
President. Then fugitive slave case
occurred in Boston, and he took very good
care that competent armed force was at
hand to maintain the law Had Boston
resisted there is no doubt that he would
have put forth all the power of the Army
and Navy, and laid the city in ashes, had
it been necessary, to carry negro back
to his master" Jeff. Davis said in a
speech in Mississippi, after his return
from Northern trip in 1859: II am
happy to state that during the past sum-
mer | heard in many places, what Prev
ously l had only heard from the late
President Pierce, the declaration that
whenever a Northern army should be as
sembled to march for the sufjugation of
the South, they would have battle to
fight before leaving the limits of their
own states, and one In which our friends
claim that the victory will be at least
doubtful" Some people claim that the
newspapers are abusing Gen. Pierce, but
what terms of indignation and censure
can be too harsh fer the man who now,
in accordance with the above prediction,
is doing even more than he could by open
resistance to paralyze the arm of the gov
ernment? He would now rely on "moral
suasion," "mausoleum of hearts, "
peaceful agencies" Who ever heard of
his advocating moral agencies in the John
Brown raid p Congregationaltst.

WOodyvard's Completely.

On the 18th Dec, 1861-otter six OF
eight States had taken more or less action
to dissolve the Uniou-aud after Buchan
ans weak but infamous Message, arguing
that the u. s. had no power to preserve
itself-cffer Cobb had resigned and Floyd
& Co. had done all in their power to dis
arm the Government. 80. AFTER all this,
Judge Woodpard said, in his 18th Dec.
speech in Philadelphia
ave hear 1t said, Let South Carolina 20
out of the Union peaceably. 4 say let
her go peaceably, if she go at ALL
But why should South Carolina be driUen out
of the Union by an ir-repressible conflict
about Slavery" ?"
South Carclinaians boast that they have
been thirty years seeking independence,
so that this pretence of being "driven
out" is fiction volunteered to cover up
their treason.
But what shall be said of Woodward's s
defending the Rebels in this manner by
assuming that they are "dliven out ?"
and what of his condemning the use of
arms to hold them to their allegiance?
The u. S. Constitution-which Judge
Woodward is sworn to sustain-cleariy
requires obedience to itself, and enforce.
ments of its laws, above all State laws.
The President is commander In chief
Washington, Jackson, Tyler, Fillmore,
and Buchanan Gin Utah all suppressed
Rebellions by force. But Woodward
says-in defiance of the Constitution
LET THEM REBEL "PEACEABLY."
Gen. Jackson said, "The Union must
and shall be preserved" and he sent Gen.
Scott with men to ''coerce" South Carroll
ma. They did so. All wrong, according
to Woodward they should have been
allowed to nullify "peaceably."
Gen. Dix said, "If any man tears down
the American flag, shoot him on the spot"
Woodward's argument is, let them do it
"PEACEABLY."
We have three "opinions," then, of
Woodward. 1st. That soldiers defend
ing the Union shall not vote. I'd. That
States may leave the Union "peaceably,"
Sd. That "Degro slavery is an incalcu-
liable blessing"
Taking into view the time of this
speech, who can resist the conviction that
Woodward was really in the plot to divide
the Union, aud then "re-construct'' it by
adding Penn'a, N. Y. &C., to the Slave
Government 2 Union County Star d
Chronicle.

a@-1f there is man living, says the
Indiana american, whom loyal men can
trust, Andrew G.. Curtin is he. First of
all, he is for the Union. He wants to
see this great country at peace, and the
old prosperity restored to the North and
South. No bitter feeling against the
South exists in his mind; but no one
more earnestly detests the principle of
rebellion, and the bold and wretched men
who have dragged their countrymen into
its coils. He firmly and independently
upholds the Government, knowing that
it needs the support Of US all, AID that

all sections of the State, we hear the glad

from the past; remember the warnings a

of how little avail they were Take a

and whereas by q statute, which was ap-

that during the present insurrectiou tho

The issue.

The issue made by the Copperheads is,
opposition 10 the Administration. In
reality, they aim at the Government, but
dare not meet the popular will in SO open
a manner. To weaken the Administra-
ton is to weaken the Government, for the
vigor and strength Of the former give life
and authority to the latter Said ven-
erable Democrat, one Of the delegates at
the late Democratic Convention, to a
younger delegates to whom he was con-
versing: "Sir, we must make these nom-
nations without regard to the loaves and
fishes" True; in measure" said the
young Copperhead, "bus aoe must first
oUera0hetn this niger administrator" /"
This is the issue, plainly stated. The
Union must be sacrificed to crafty party
spleen. The Government must be over
thrown because few public measures do
not please the Democratic TASTE Let
the people keep this issue before them,
and we shall have no fears for the result.
The keystone State is loyal, and has CIV
en noble proof of its devotion to the
Union. Let its voice in the coming elec-
ton, silence forever the enemies who plot
its ruin.

Irish Advice to Irish An1eFi-


From the United Irishman (Dublin) Aug. 90.
"From the tone of the British journals
we are induced to believe that England
is at the bottom of the resistance to the
draft for the Federal army. 1t is quite
natural that men should be opposed to
conscription of the kind, and that such a
measure would be more especially unpop-
ular in free country like America. 1t
is, therefore, the more easy to stir up op-
position to it.-Engish gold is at work in
New York. Her emmissaries are there
taking advantage of the popular preju-
dices and doing more to damage the cause
of the Union than if she had actually
pecognized the independence of the South
ern States. * & *
"The London Times has an article,
gloatlng over the anticipated resistance
of Gov. Seymour to the draft 1t would
certainly be playing the game of the ene-
my to perfection. England would give
the Governor million pounds sterling
if he could be induced to take such step
1t might tend to the proiongation of the
war or the destruction of the Union, Jut
most unquestionobly to the annih1ation
of the Irish influence IN America, and
on end Of all hope ror the freedom OF
tatherland an Our generation. Let then,
stand, till the last, by the fog that has
been borne alongside their oo0n IN battle,
and under aohose folds alone they can
find freedom and protection."
