It is staled that this firm friend of Mr. D. was Gov.Branoh, formerly of Not Hi Carolina, but now of Florida. Gen. Pierce was present at most of the hardest fought battles In Mexico, under Gon. Scott, and exhibited all tho qualities of a good soldier. Few oflmorß in tho army wero eo beloved by their soldiers as Gon. Pierce was by his. Ho was kind and liber al towards iJiom, and many Incidents Illustrative of this trail in tiia character have been told.

THE PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRACY* Wo extract tbo following beautiful paßaagp* from tlio remarks made by . Col. Samuel B.

Men may die —but eternal yoard nro tho lifo lira®. of truth; i Wo i yield to tho action of tho Convention not: .Without , sorrow, but nevertheless, a most willing ohodloqep, . and pledge a full and faithful struggle in every |ftrt of Pennsylvania to him whom tho representatives dr { tile people havb chosen. It is ah easy thing in .the ox« ciloraenl and oxhiliration of a heart thrilling with pleasure, to promise much that cannot bo pot formed But when men pledge thomsohred in sadness they never foil. The'antntued'lrcarl never keeps tho wofd of promise to tho oar and breaks U to tho hope. • • « Tho person who addresses you wqs born, and lives on tho banks of the Monongahela river. The river bears an Indian name, of which the interpretation is, without, on Island.

This nomination sprang from Virginia, and through out’Koarts shall have S free course and full flood. Tho gallant and unfaltering Stale, where Uio Dem ocratio ranks aro never broken in the day of battle, has given another President to tho Union.

Ho’concluded his rortarks by offering tho following preamble and resolutions, which were adopted unanimously# viz: JVh&eas, wo, in common with tho Democracy of Pennsylvania and of tho Union, feel the impor tance if renewed exertions in the .support and raainlainance of their lime honored principles, and the carrying Into full effect those measures of gov-1 ornment that are befit adapted to tho wishes and' wants of the people, and are based upon those) principles: And whcreas t \i' xs right and proper) ihalthe Democracy hero assembled should meet together and Interchange their vic.wsas lo the most eflective method of advancing the Democratic icduse, which wo all hold’dear to us as Penney!* vanians and Republicans: And whtreaa t we are about to enter upon a roost important political contest with our ancient opponents, in which con- 1 leal our energies and resources will bo taxed to the | utmost to maintain oor ascendency against the | 'conservative views and monied interests of the l I aristocratic party of the State and Nation: And 1 whereas, we adhere, with fond attachment,-to the old land-marks,of the Democratic creed, as taught by Jeffjrson# and effectively enforced by Jackson, in lives devoted v lo the service of their beloved country. Therefore, Resolved, Thai a more permanent, efficient and active organization of the Democratic par ty of this county ia hereby recommended, and that each organization should be adopted by our Democratic brethren throughout the differ ent counties of the Slate, by frequent meetings, organizations of Democratic clubs, dissemination [of° documents inculcating, illustrating and enfor cing Democratic views, and frequent discussions of the great principles of the parly, in order that ' the people may become familiar with their own rights and the duties of all good government. * Resolved) That the nominations made by the Democratic National Convention recently assem bled at Baltimore, meet with out hearty approba tion, and shall receive onr cordial support. We i believe they are calculated to nhito the Democrat lie parly—-to ro-unllo the old Jackson parly as it was ia its palmiest days—and make it more vigo rous and effective than it has been for years. Resolved) That in Gon. FRANKLIN PIERCE, our candidate for President of tho United States, we have a gentleman of exalted abilities, largo ac quirements, sound and radical Democratic views, varied experience in the affairs of government,-and one who has shown a love of tho Constitution du ring his Legislative career, and a self-sacrificing devotion to tho true interests of his country, which lias silently and irresistably drawn (ho hearts of tho people towards him, until they have designated him for tho highest trust within their gift. Resolved) That WILLIAM R. KING, the Dem ocratic candidate for the office of Vice President, is every way worthy of that distinguished honor. He has for a long time served the country ns a faithful Democratic Senator from -that faithful. HsmoAratiu , - 1 - H1..'.--- nonipoiemiury to tho Court of France; and the country at largo are too well acquainted with his I services as well his sterling worth, not to requite i them. Resolved t Thai wo believe in tho right and tho capacity of the people for self-government, a right and a capacity once openly denied by our political opponents, and still but partially acknowledged, if wo aro to Judge of the uniform tendency of the measures of government advocated and adopted by the Federal parly whenever they have tho power. Ucsolvcd, Thai we repudiate the doctrine that Government should lake caro of the rich and the rich will take caro of tho poor," as a doctrine calculated to make the mass of the people depend ent and subservient to the behests of those whoi would bo their masters-—rather adopt the wise policy of enacting laws that will give equal ad vantages to all, which, while it would not build | 1 up overgrown fortunes on lh?ono hand, would not 1 superinduce abject poverty on the other; which would not mako beggars at tho samo time (hat jit created princes; which repudiate special legta- I lotion, tho granting of franchises and bounties to one sot of mon that aro denied to tho masses of tho pdbple, and which are given In fraud*hf tho peo ple's rights; which mako all equal before the law, rather than mako the law tho instrument of wrong and oppression, of giving good gifts to some, and Indicting unmitigated evil upon others. Resolved, That wo believe in a strict construc tion of the Constitution of tho United States, that it is an instrument of limited powers, and that all powers not contained therein nor prohibited by it aro reserved to the Stales and the people respect ivoly—that to adopt any other policy would make tho National Government a great consolidated, central power, trampling upon tho rights of tho Slates and of tho people at pleasure, doing what ever tho majority might dictate, and making our Congress as omnipotent as the British Paliamehl, which has no constitutional restraints beyond what policy, tho behests of tho crown, and the protection of the privileged classes, may demand | os essential to thoir Interests. Resolved , That wo recur with pride to tho dark | days of 1796 and 'O9, as the period In our political | history which permanently modelled and shaped tho policy of this government, which through tho I wise counsels of Jeflbrson and Madison, as evin ced by the Virginia and Kentucky resolutions, placed us fairly upon the republican anti-federal track, and which lias guided the policy of the na tion, with but few exception, from that limo unto tho present period* Resolved. That with those land mnrka to guide us in our political career, wo aro opposed to tho creation of a National Bank and its natural and I necessary concomitants ond attendants, national bankrupt laws; opposed to all connection between 1 tho General or State Governments with banking |institutions, either. Stale or National; opposed to. exclusive chartered privileges and special grants, cither to individuals or ooporatlons ; oppo sed to an increase of banka and tho banking capi tal of the Slate ond Nation ; to a Tariff for any other purpose Ilian that of revonuo for tho govern ment economically administered; to a distribution of (ho proceeds of tho sales of the public lands among tho Stales; a system of internal improve ments by tho general government; an assumption of the debts ot tho States by that government,and all other moans which may be devised in tho shape of extravagant appropriations for various Curposcs to exhaust tho National lroaaunr«nnd nild up a national debt, which would ofiool in substance what was brought about by tho “ fund ing system" and “ Assumption bill," under tho guidance of Alexander Hamilton, at an early porl-. od in,tho history of this govornmont, when It was lho < settled creed of tho Federal parly that “a national debt was a national blessing"—when it \Vaa deemed a cunning schema of unscrupulous politicians and heartless money ohongora to be come, by. legislative frauds and corruptions, large ly tho creditors, tho fundholders of tho govornmont, in order to tax tho resources and productive indus try of tho mass of tho people for the special ag grandizement of these public plunderers.- Resolved, That wo adhere in good faith to all tho compromises of (ho Coue|iuilion of tho United Stales, as fiamod j>y the fathers of the Republic that wo are willing to live in harmony pnd good fellowship with out Southern brethren ; thal Y® abide by the compromise measures adopted by the last Congress os a .final settlement of the vexed question which has so much agitated the public mind; that we congratulate the people of |he, State in the repeal of that pari of Uio legislation of. this commonwealth which was prompted.by jrsplritof unfriendly feeling towards our eister Southern States,'and we hereby pledge ourselves to turn our faces from - the ftton and measures of fanaticism, which have looidng endangered the harmony of the Republic, , . , Resolved, Thai wo are willing to adopt the creed promulgated by the National Democratic con vonlions of 1840, 1814, 1848, and 1852, on Iho question of slavery in all its length and breadth— “ that Congress hflts no power under the Constitu tion to interfere with or control the domestic in stitutions of the several Stales, and that such Slates are the sole and proper judges of everything appertaining to their own affairs, not prohibited by the Constitution; thal all efforls of the abolition ists, or others, made to induce Congress to inter fere with questions of slavery, or to take incipient steps in relation thereto, are calculated to lead to the most alarming and dangerous consequences; and that all such efforls have an inevitable londen cy to diminish the happiness of the people and endanger the ',stability and permanency of the Union, and ought not to be countenanced by any friend of our political institutions.” . : . Resolved , That wo are sincerely anxious for .the harmony and well .being of the Democracy of this Slate and of tho Nation, and wo hereby pledge ourselves to support the nominees of the late wa • lional Democratic Convention for the high, ana .re sponsible offices of President and Vico Presiden of the United Stales, and to use our almost exer tions and all honorable means to secure their in , umphanf election* . • - ■ • , Resolved , That in brotherly kindness and fraler . na! affection, wo will from this day forward cn . deavor to redeem tho political errors of tho past, it | we have been guilty of any such shortcomings, and will try to serve thecaoso of liberal principles , and the rights of the people more efficiently than ‘leretolbre. .
