I pon the accession of Mr. Folk to the -Presidential chair, Mr. Fierce was offered the Attorney Generalship, hut declined it. He said he had no desire for .public office, «nd would never consent to‘leave his home for any purpose except to serve his country in war, ami that in some ease of necessity. At that time, Col. Kansom, who was Presi dent of the Military College in Vermont, wanted a commission in order to fight in the Mexican campaign. Mr. Pierce, wlio was a warm friend of his, wrote a strong letter of recommendation of him to the cabinet at Washington, urging them to appoint him to the command of such troops as might be rnis- ed in New England. The reply of tiie govern ment was, that the request could not he complied with, as it was intended to confer the command upon a New Hampshire man. That man was Mr. Pierce himself. .. But he will not take it,” said Col. Kansom.— .. But he must take it,” implied the cabinet. Mr. I’ierec was immediately Colonelcy of the New England regiment, and was induced to accept it, and Col.

This latter position he resigned a year or two b'cfOre the expiration of his term. Had Gen. Pierce been an office-hunter, his proudest desire might have been realized in the late election. -He stor'd emphatically; at the head of the New Hampshire democracy head and shoulders taller than any body in its affections.
