The - editor of the; New York Journal "of Commerce, one of the oldest commercial jour nals" in the country, pays the followlog just end handsome tribute to the character of the Democratic nominee iorPresident : • • All who have, with: impartisil eye, obierved the conduct of the nominee of the Democratic patty for; theoffice of_. President, must-have been struck with his nnolitriisiie 'and modest course, and not less with, the high:mid manly spirit: evinced, whenever called upon to'att or, teNspeak. Vhese,traits, of character are rare in public men, and. especially among . those Who, bred to other pursuits, quit then in time of war services in _the field. They are ever associated With the highest qualities of i mind and of heart, and winifor their possessoi the respect, and esteem :which General Pleme's neighbors and, friends tso generally and warm ly feel towards him. IWe were, lately near his residence in the Granite Hills, and should per have paid our_respects to him, but that ittnight have been misrepresented. Wo heard, however, not only fron his political friends, but also from his political opponents, his neigh b,)rs and acquaintances, the most friendly and respectful, and often the most entluisiestie tes. thnony.Of his high and noble qualities: ',Even, io the, time of Judge Woodbury, it is conceded that General Pieree had command of the State, bat that he never used .his power - .pl. influ. ence for birnielf, as he preferred, ever to live', aiming - his neighbors; as, a private nitisin, jiving the honors awarded to him, on all hands as the kead of the bar of New Hampshire. His resignation as Sehater in congress} as an officer in the army when service could not lon ger be rendered, and !his refusal to, incept the office of Attorney General• and the gubemato: vial chair of his State', are in harmony with. the universal opinion ,held towards - him by his neighbors and l'riendi. Gen. Pierce, however, by no act of procurernent of his, and from the spontaneous action of the Democratic Conien tion-Such unquestionably it was; for we were present and witnesSed .beconie the nominee of the - great party which it represent ed for the Presidential dice, and, instantly his whole career is examined for, some spot, or blemish, on which calumny may. expatiate un til the elections have decidA the questiOn now .before the country.; A career which was opened under the teachings _of an ancestry which had fought and bled in the country's service in the great battles of the Revolution, an ancestry famous for its high and patriotic tone and hearing,was a beginning which could by no passibility terminate in the diShonor which, party malignity would now attach to, the name of Gen. Pierce. Throughout the war in 'Mexico, he acted with-courage - I and if he erred at all, it WEIS on the . side of Inipm ,kn-co- aria unnecessiry.exposnre. The spott. taneous , tribute of Gen.
