The Baltimore Nominations.
The reader will observe by our trie-]
graphic dispatches, that Gen. KllAMt-
U.N PtERCF., ol New H unpshir**, has
been nominated as ibe DomiiTiiatie an
didaip for llie Presidency, and Hon. Wm.
R. King, of Alabama, for the Vice
Presidency, an I that the Convention
adopted as a platform the resolutions
ol 1844 ami tin; Compromise Measures of
1850. It will be seen also, that Gen.
Pierce was very much surprised when lie
heard of his nomination. J n this icspecl
h.e is like the rest of the people of the ‘
United Stales ; lor we doubt whether
there is a man within its broad limits who
will not he equally surprised when lie ‘
hears of it.
We know hut little of Gen. Pierce,
and cun therefore say hut little. He
was once a member o’ the United States
Senate, us many another man lias been ‘
hclore him. His position in that body
was simply respectable. During the
Mexican war, and while in the Senate,
lie was appointed hy Mr. Polk a hriga*
ilier general. Os his career its an officer,
we know nothing except that he \va
present at the capture of the city of Mex
ico. Unfortunately, lie was not wound
ed in any of the engagements in which he
took part. He is said to be descended
from good stuck, bis ancestors having
played an honorable part in the Revolti’
lion. 11 is father, at one time Governor
of New Hampshire, left only two sons—
the one of whom we speak and an elder
broltitt, who participated in the war of
1812 and belonged to (lie regular Army.
This brother died some yen is ago in Mobile.
We regret that Mr. Hindi man, or
Some other well known and to knowledge
ed statesman, was not nominated. Gen.
Pierce i undoubtedly an available man.
fie bus no out minding record, that we
know of, on the Compromise question,
uilenettiion, the public lands, or any
other of the vital questions bifote the
country. He is simply one of those res
pectable, negative characters, of whom
there is hut little I > be tntd, cither cine
wav or the other. Doubtless it was for
tills reason lie was nominated. 8011, we
consider it a‘dangerous experiment, to
pass over the Statesmen of the party to
take up one whose chief rerniiiuieuda
daiion is the obscurity of his past life.—
To be a gieat man now-n-day s, is a posi
tive disadvantage; and to serve one’s
country, is to cut hi inn If oil'front al
chance of promotion. It becomes ns al.
therefore to take care ol our health, and
to do ns little lor the country ns possible ;
for, some day when we least expect it,
we ipay lie surprised’ alter the same
fashion that Gen. Pierce was.
We confess to a 1 1 cling of satisfaction,
however, that the politic ions about Wash
ington, who liave done nothing hat pull
the wires the entire sis pm, have til! been
beheaded at one fell stroke. After all
their scheming and plotting, their mighty
heads now roll in the dust. The axe;
never ditl belter service. It was a bri
lliant coup d'etat c>( the Convention, and
executed in a maimer , worthy of Louis
Napoleon himself.
“ rim best laid schemes of mice and men
Gang all tiglt y.”
Mr. King, the nominee for the Vivce
Presidency. i< at pre-cut a from
Alabama and the presiding officer of the
Senate. He lias been it Senetor for
many years and at'various times, and at
one lime was sent ns Minister to
France. He isalso n.bm helor- a gentle
man of high character—ami the equal, if
not superior intellectually of Gen. Pierce.
John Randolph was once a-ked by a
lady vvlnit sort of a per-on Mr. King was;
he replied that he wore the—finest boots
of any man in Washington.
While vve ‘can not congratulate the
country on the nomination of Gen. Pierce
it affords us unmingled pleasure to'say
the Convention deserves till prnbe for its
action upon the Compromise. It did
wisely and patriotically to'approve it,
and to plant jjtlie party upon it. Free
soiiers and Southern Rights inert may
grumble, lint the great mass ol the people,
however widely they differ as to the nom
inations, will appreciate the action of the
Convention. If the Whig Convention
fail to take the same position and to put
forth an acceptable candidate, he is ties
lined to meet with deserved defeat.
CHOREA. — The cholera is stated to
have appeared on the plantation of Mr.
James Dalton, six miles northwest of
Canton, Al ississippi. IN oliio a very few
days lie has lust hy it ten negroes. The
symptoms of the disease ate vomiting,
purging of white serous-looking fluid,
and violent cramps. ‘1 licse are followed
by a collapsed stage, when death doses
the scene in n few hours.
Supposed Murder Os A Wife- Thomas
fvlettn, a carter, in Philadelphia, was cm
Friday held to hail on suspicion of having
murdered his late wife by poison. Her
death occurred two weeks since, and the
day after he married a servant girl living
with biin in the house. This excited
suspicions, and I lie body was exhumed
nr.d arsenic: found in the stomach. The
coroner hr-id an inquest and a verdict was
rendered of death by arsenic. The ac
cused has fled, lint his ncwly-m tile w ife
is in custody.

to the confidence of tluqw hole country: he
has been hied, and found faithful to (he
Constitution anti die supremacy of the
laws fait||ful to the preservaijoq of the
Union, and the Constitutional tights of
the South. We hesitate not to declare him
<oir fitst choice over all others fur the
Presidency.
Resolved, That we have entire con- 1
fideuce in Daniel Webster. Whilst we I
profoundly admirekhis vast and stupend- i
nits intellect, we cherish the warmest j
feeling of gratitude tow ards him, for hi
eminently able and uncompromising de
fence ol the Constitution, and the rights
of the South. ■ We Wonjd delight to hon

in practice we treat with the greatest con

j We have been induced to offer the above
terms in order to increase the circulation of
our paper, and for that purpose we earnstly
I solicit the co-operation of our ftiends. If
we meet with sufficient encuragcitient, we
; intend getting new material in a few months
and enlarging our paper.
WHO WILL COME TO THE RES.
CUE?
We would again appeal to our patrons
to come forward and pay up, and if not
convenient to coin e, send llie money. The
1 amount that each is due is hut small, and
we presume no one would find it incon
venient to pay. We should certainly
spare our readets the pain this
! dun were it not that we are compelled to
raise money forthwith or suffer our office
taken from us and thus be thrown penniless
1 upon the world without the means of sup
porting our family. If we can get that
which we have earned we are safe—if we
fail to get it, those who owe us are all a.
like contributors to our ruin. A word to
those who have a heart is sufiitient.
A tnrd to those trhp are guilty of Street
tattling and circulating slanderous re
ports about their Neighbors.
It is indeed unfortunate for the human
family, that the tongue, that ‘unruly’ mem
ber’ is often made the instrument to blast
the character of the virtuous and effect the
ruin of the innocent. There is no sin,
indulged in by the human race that is
| blacker and more hellish in its nature than
j that of Slander, and yet there is no sin
so freely and unrestrainedly committed
hy all sex and classes. Even those who
profess to be Chsistians, delight in it—
“and roll it as a sweet morsel under the
longue,” and chuckle with de
light when they hove an opportunity to
tell a slanderous tale upon their neigh
bor.
Slander is the favorite child of the de”
vtl—the means he employs to blot out
from llie human character all that is beau
tiful and noble. Who respects the Slan
derer; and yet, who will not turn an at
tentive ear to talcs of the darkest line, and
when heard, long to repeat them toothers
will) numerous additions?
Alas! Alos ! but lew are found who
turn a deaf ear or raise their voice in con
demnation against this damnable sin:
The favorite haunts of this child of Sa
tan are numerous in every city, town and
village, and it useless for us to say among
what class of persons it most pre\ ails—
every sensible man knows. Ilis ears have
been too often filled with horrid tales a
bout the private acts of his neighbor, not
to know what class are generally the de
vil’s mail carrier.
J( there is one sin in the dark catalogue
of human depravity which vve detest more
than all others, it is that of tattling. V t
has caused more misery than all other
crimes placed together, h is a curse to
: the community, and we verily believe that
if there are degrees in hell the tattler will
merit the most severe. Thousands are ut
terly ruined by the tattling tongue that
otherwise would have been bright
ornaments to society. For instance—a
lie is perpertrated against innocent virtue,
it is industriously circulated—each circu
lator adding thereto, until being often
‘old, it readies the ears of the innocent
vitim, who in hopeless despair, reasons
thus:—“why should 1 longer strive for
virtue ? my name is coupled with crime
in the mouths of all /” and in reckless
frenzy, the poor victim, being unjustly
splinted and driven from society, rushes
into vice and is ruined.”
The tale bearer is equal in guilt with
the open mouthed slanderer, yet it is a re
markable fact that people who are in the
habit of tale-bearing never reflect on the
meanness and sinfulness of their occupa
tion, although its evil effects are visible
every day. Families are set at variance,
innocence is looked upon with suspicion,
slight faults are a thousand times magni
fied and made to appear as unpardonable
offences and a dark catalogue of other e
yi!s are,entailed which are destructive to
the social happiness of mankind. There
is hut few families who have not in some
way been visited with litis abominable
curse, and by the assistance of his satunic
majesty the worst tales are alway s con*
jured up and circulated on the most inno
cent and unsuspecting. For, as slanderers
have no character to sustain themselves
they seek to victimize the purest, and
bring them down to a degraded level with
themselves. Great indeed is the guilt of
those persons and especially those proces
sors of Christianity who are thus engaged
in the serv ice of the devil.
We detest all tattlers—we look upon
them as the basest of llie base, who only
awatl an opportunity to commit the same
crimes anti be guilty of the same acts that
their fiendish imagination has conjured
up and their hellish propensity for destroy
ing others, has caused them to cirv
culale against their neighbors. Nor is
our hatred confined to those who circu
late disgraceful tales, backbite and slander
their neighbors, but vve detest those who
will listen to their]words,Cind not indigv
nattily drive them ft om their presence in*
slant ly.
WHAT DOES HE MEAN
The Editor of the D ‘tnocrat comes out
in an extra and announces the Nomina
tion ol Franklin Pierce of New Hamp
shire for the Presidency, hy the late Hal
tiuiore Convention, and (or Vice Presi
dent, Wm. R. King of Alaba na. In
commenting on this nomination ke says :
“We have no time for comment further
than it was doubtless, the best dial could
be done under the circumstances, and that
it will harmonize the Democratic Party
throughout the Union—North, South,
East and West, and secure for them ao
overwhelming triumphant victory. So
mote it be! Amen.'’ Is it pos>ible dial
this can be the language of this champion
of Southern Rights, vviio but a few months
ago was hostile to every thing north of
Mason and Dijon’s line? Where is his
Southern Rights now ? Away up yon
der in one of the extreme Northern States,
bordering on the canadas! Whure is hi*
consistency now ? “Gone, glimmering
through the dream£of things (lint were.”
But we discover that lie is somewhat dis
satisfied, as he say s, “it was the best thing
that could have been done under the cir
cumstances.”
M l ’- King of Alabama is a Southern
Rights man and will do pretty well he
thinks, but Mr. Pierce, who is lie ? and
what are his principles ? These latter
questions we have no doubt puzzles the
Editor of the Democrat considerably,
but here goes—Northern Freesoiiers
have nominated him, and this champion
of Southern Rights responds, “Amen.'’
What does he mean ? We must acknowl
edge that we are considerably puzzled
here ourself. Mr. Pierce vve learn, is a
Compromise man, and vve presume,strong
in the faith, except lie may be somewhat
wavering on the fugitive slave law, as he
lives amost 100 far Northand belongs In
the wrong party to be the warm friend of
this measure—while the Editor of the
Democrat lias sworn eternal hostility to
the Compromise and frequently avowed
his determination never to support a man
who was its advocate. In the face of
this what does he mean when he now all
responds— " Amen f’ to the nomination of
a man who is claimed to advocate those
measures? But vve are still mote surv
prised to hear him exulting ly say, ‘'that
it will harmonize the Democratic Party
throughout the Union—North, Sooth,
East and West. How long has it been
since the Editor of the Democrat wanted
nothing to do with the North, polically
and under that impulse, hoisted at his
masthead the names of John M- Mason of
Virginia and Charles J. McDonald of
Georgia for the Presidency and Vice
Presidency, w hich names die never haul
ed down, until the Secession Demo
cratic Convention whispered in hisearlhe
p ropriety of uniting'with the freesoiiers
of the North, as the only hope of future
success. We are surprised that the Editor
of the Democrat could be so easily hauled
over and in so short a time, not only pass
beyond Mason and Dixon’s line, but fly
to the extreme North, and embrace an ad- 1
vocate of the Compromise, and cry
A MEN! to Itis nomination lor the Pres
idency.
PRESIDENT MAKING.
There seems to be a great digression
in these times, from the old established
rule of President making. In former
years men were chosen for that high and
responsible office, for their merit alone,
and in those days Statesmen of the high
est order of talent were placed at the
bead of the affairs of government. —Men
whose experience and power of mind,
qualified them for any emergency. But
alas, for (be great men of our nation, a
sad change has taken place. Envious
and ambitious politicians, who see no
means of realizing their own aspirations,
concentrate all their energies to defeat the
deserving, and place men at the Itead of
government, whom they can easily
swerve, to the accomplishment of their
own ambitions and unholy purposes. The
late Baltimore Democratic Convention
has afforded a striking illustration ot this
policy. Men ol talent and eminent
statesmanship have been sacrificed upon
the idolatrous alter of political ambition,
while an obscure and unqualified individ
ual who lias never done any tiling for his
country, and was never before beard of,
save as a tacit member of the Senate, and
a subordinate officer tinder Gen. Pillow,
at llie taking of die City of Mexico, has
been taken op and placed before the peo
ple as a claimant for their Presidential
snfferages.
What, vve would ask, does Mr. Pierce
the individual above alluded to, know a
bout the affairs of Government ? Has be
spent a long lifetime of unwaaried toil in
llie service of liis country,and acquired an
experience adequate to the fulfilment
of the duties of a President? No! and
but for the maneuvering of disappointed
demagogues, he w ould have remained in
that obscuity to which his inferiority in
the scale of greatness, justly consigns
it im.
Certainly, great spirits have little to ex
pect as a reward for their brilliant acts of
statesmanship, at the present day.
