eared in various. parts of the country, and distinguished members of the Peace, Faction were heard, on the National anniversary, July 4. exhorting the, people to stand firmly in opposition to what they called the usurpations of the Government. The most conspicuous of these orators were ex-President Franklin Pierce, See notice of Mr. Pierce's letter to Jefferson Davis, note 1, page 215, volume I. and Governor Seymour, of New York, the former speaking to a Democratic gathering at Concord, New Hampshire, and the latter to the citizens of New York City, in the Academy of Music. Mr. Pierce declared that the cause of the war was the vicious intermeddling of too many of the citizens of the Northern States with the constitutional rights of the Southern States. He spoke of military bastiles, into which American citizens were thrust by the arbitrary exercise of power, and of the mailed hand of military usurpation in the North, striking down the liberties of the people, and trampling it
ankee wilts, and goes under. Mark what we say, exclaims this military meteorologist, the first battle on a hot day, we will whip the fight. This is plucky, if not precisely grammatical. It is evident that nothing can save us but a providential succession of the nastiest North-Easters. Under these circumstances, perhaps our generals should receive instructions never to fight except when it is chilly. To be sure, a good many years ago it was not what you might have exactly called cold at Concord and Lexington; and we believe overcoats were rather than else discarded at Bunker Hill. We know something about warm weather up here, planted as we are in close proximity to the North Pole. We beg leave to assure our brother of The Confederacy that we do not go in bear-skins the year round. Exudation will not be a phenomenon altogether new to us. We have that rarity, the hottest day of the season, even in these latitudes. What says the poet, Dr. Holmes? The folks that on the first of Ma
be it said — were not a few members of the Republican party, who, while they supported the Administration, were willing to acknowledge its mistakes. The inscription which the sword bore, Pro rege saepe, Pro patria semper, excited an amount of discussion and comment in the newspaper press in which future observers will recognize an amusing instance of the importance which trifles may assume when viewed through a properly magnifying medium. While in Boston, he was invited to visit Concord, New Hampshire, Portland and Augusta, in Maine, and other places; but he was not able to accept any of these gratifying invitations. In October, 1863, the State election in Pennsylvania took place. Governor Curtin was the Republican candidate for Governor, and Judge Woodward the Democratic. The election was contested with great ardor, and all over the country much interest was felt in the result. It was thought that the vote of the soldiers, who were coming into the State in great numbers, wa
y their victims. Forty-four houses (mostly small) were destroyed or seriously injured. Among them was a colored Presbyterian church. Several of the blacks were chased and assaulted, one of them being beaten to death, and another losing his life in attempting to swim the Schuylkill to escape his pursuers. At Worcester, Massachusetts, August 10, 1835, the Rev. Orange Scott, who was lecturing against Slavery, was assaulted, his notes torn up, and personal violence attempted. At Concord, New Hampshire, on the same day, a mob demolished an academy, because colored boys were admitted as pupils. At Canterbury, Connecticut, Miss Prudence Crandall having attempted, in 1833, to open a school for colored children, an act was passed by the Legislature forbidding any teaching within that State of colored youth from other States. She persisted, and was imprisoned for it as a malefactor. Having been liberated, she resumed her school; when it was broken up by mob-violence. The riots w

sting on the duty of aiding in its suppression. Not the Rebel chiefs conspiring, nor the Rebel armies advancing at their behest, to overthrow the Government and sever finally the Union, but the directors and chief functionaries of that Government, were regarded and reprobated by those orators as public enemies to be combated, resisted, and overcome. Ex-President Franklin Pierce See his letter to Jeff. Davis, Vol. I., p. 512. was the orator at a great Democratic mass meeting held at Concord, N. H.; and, in his carefully prepared oration, amid the ringing acclaim of thousands, he said: The Declaration of Independence laid the foundation of our political greatness in the two fundamental ideas of the absolute independence of the American people, and of the sovereignty of their respective States. Under that standard, our wise and her<*> forefathers fought the battle of the Revolution; under that, they conquered. In this spirit, they established the Union; having the conservative

Union? The first blood in our first mighty conflict was shed on her soil, and the first blow there struck for and in the defence of the rights of all. In the Senate, and in the field, throughout that great period, her sons were among the foremost in stirring eloquence, cheerful sacrifices, and matchless daring. Their bones almost literally whitened the soil of every State, and the Stripes and Stars when in their hands were ever the certain pledge of victory or death. Who would surrender Concord, Lexington, Bunker Hill? What American would give up the right to tread within the sacred precincts of Bunker Hill, and there to catch the patriotic Union spirit, which is the very genius of the place? She may have recently, no doubt she has, gone astray. But her error has been but the excess of her virtue. Her love of freedom has caused her to forget that, unless restrained, it soon runs into licentiousness. Her love of freedom has caused her to forget that with us, and as their fat

Doc. 172.-the mob in Concord, N. H. Destruction of the office of the Democratic standard. A correspondent of the Boston Journal gives the following account of this affair: Concord, N. H., August 8, 1861. A very serious riot took place in this city this afternoon, which resulted in the total destruction of the printing office of the Democratic Standard. This paper has been too well known to require much comment in this connection. For the past few weeks it has reflected quite sConcord, N. H., August 8, 1861. A very serious riot took place in this city this afternoon, which resulted in the total destruction of the printing office of the Democratic Standard. This paper has been too well known to require much comment in this connection. For the past few weeks it has reflected quite severely upon the character and conduct of our soldiers, until they could endure it no longer, and concluded to take the matter into their own hands. Early this afternoon several soldiers of the First regiment went to the printing office, and asked for some of the papers, with the intention of purchasing them, and it is reported that the publishers refused to sell them. The soldiers afterward went into the street and by some means procured several copies; these were read to an excited and incre
