Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Papers of Franklin Pierce: 1852-1862 Now in my judgment if at the proper time at the Convention you will allow your name to be used as a compromise candidate, you stand as good a chance of the nomination as any man I can now think of. In casual conversation I have asked southern gentlemen how you would suit the South and they have invariably responded most favorably. I am boarding with C01. Barbour, President of the late Virginia Demo cratic Convention, and he says the South would cordially unite on you. He tells me that a majority of the Convention was for Buchanan in pre ference to Cass or Douglass. There is another very intelligent gentleman boarding with me from Florida, by the name of Blunt. Mr. Atherton 1 knows him. I believe he is a Whig. But he says that no Northern man would be more generally acceptable than yourself to the South. I have also talked with Floyd, M. C., from New York and he says both of the Democratic factions in that State would unite upon you. Hence I believe that you are among the very probable candidates for the Presidency, if you will allow your name to be used at the right time. But I must say frankly that you have not been quite free enough with your friends in relation to this subject. I can not learn as anyone knows what you would do or consent to have others do in reference to the nomination. You hold out the idea that there is no office you will again accept. Unless your determination never to accept of any office is irre vocable, I think you should say that you place your destinies so far as the Presidency is concerned in the hands of your friends. I do not of course think it prudent to put you forward as a candidate for the Presidency until the three prominent candidates are first disposed of. If they shall all be defeated in the Convention, then your name should be put forward as a compromise candidate.

Excerpt: ... young man of sound sense, strong political convictions, patient observation, inherent tact and skill, and most charming as well as brilliant manners. In 183? he took his seat in the Senate of the United States--the youngest member of that body. Calhoun, Webster, Clay, Benton, Silas Wright, Woodbury, Buchanan, Walker, and Linn were members. It was the commencement of the presidency of Mr. Van Buren. In this highest field of political labor he pursued substantially the same course as in the Lower House. The youngest member, he did not attempt distinction by open controversy or competition with these great figures to whom alone the country looked, and upon whose wisdom its hopes were hung. He made himself, however, a diligent member of the various committees to which he was appointed, and soon obtained an enviable reputation for a thorough mastery of every subject assigned to his charge. By the defeat of Mr. Van Buren in 1840, the adminstration of the Federal Government, for the first time in twelve years, fell to the Whigs, who had a majority in both branches of Congress. It was the purpose of the party in power, under the leadership of Mr. Clay, to overthrow all the great measures which the Democratic party, under the administrations of Jackson and Van Buren, had placed upon the statute-book. It was in this great encounter that Mr. Pierce first became conspicuous among the Democratic Senators, and laid the foun dation of that hold upon the respect and esteem of his party throughout the Union which, transmitted from the older to the younger, continued during the rest of his life. Nowhere so prominently as in this struggle with the Whigs were ever seen the power and advantage of a disciplined organization, now sometimes described as " a...

But, as it has been one of the most extraordinary in its acts and policy which has characterized the annals of our country, and as history is philosophy teaching by experience, a true analysis and exposition of the principal acts of the administration have been deemed of paramount import ance, not only for the instruction and benefit of the present generation, but for statesmen and the rising generation who may come after us.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Review of Pierce's Administration: Showing Its Only Popular Measures to Have Originated With the Executive of Millard Fillmore The administration of Franklin Pierce is the subject of the chapters in this work. Had it been marked only by ordinary events, the writer would never have undertaken the task of reviewing it. But, as it has been one of the most extraordinary in its acts and policy which has characterized the annals of our country, and as "history is philosophy teaching by experience," a true analysis and exposition of the principal acts of the administration have been deemed of paramount importance, not only for the instruction and benefit of the present generation, but for statesmen and the rising generation who may come after us. The political friends of the administration will do injustice if they ascribe the motives of the writer to personal interest, or prejudice, or to any feelings of partisan zeal. The acts of the administration speak for themselves; they are written in capitals broad as the republic, and conspicuous as the sun in the firmament; - they tell their own tale! Some may think that it is not the province of a woman to enter on the rough path of a political critic, or to presume to discuss subjects which belong to the other sex.

Download or read book The Life and Public Services of Gen Franklin Pierce written by UNKNOWN. AUTHOR and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Public Services of Gen. Franklin Pierce: The Democratic Candidate for the Presidency of 1852 He married twice, and had by his first wife one daughter, the widow of General John McNeil, and by his second wife five sons and three daughters. One of the daughters died in infancy, and the other two died in 1837, leaving families. Of the sons the oldest, Benjamin K., was a gallant officer of the army, who distinguished himself in the Florida war; and the second, also, was connected with the army, and attained the rank of brevet colonel. These are both dead. Another died in early manhood. The remaining sons are Col. Henry D. Pierce, of Hillsborough - a farmer of great personal worth and of much wealth, who has represented his town in the legislature - and the subject of this memoir. Franklin Pierce was born in Hillsborough November 23, 1804. He was sent to the neighboring schools of Hancock and Francestown - living in the latter place with the mother of the late Levi Woodbury, to whom he pays a grateful tribute for the salutary influence she exercised over his early boyhood. His academic studies were pursued at Exeter academy. In 1820, in his sixteenth year, he entered Bowdoin College, from which he graduated, with credit, in 1824. Dr. Calvin E. Stowe was one of his class. His agreeable manners, manly bearing, social turn and fine talents, made him a general favorite; and among his intimate friends were Hon. James Bell, of Manchester, and Dr. Luther V. Bell, the head of the McLean Asylum, of Somerville, Nathaniel Hawthorn, Jonathan Cilley, and James Mason, son of Jeremiah Mason. Three years were subsequently passed in preparatory studies in the offices of Hon. Edmund Parker, of Amherst, and of Hon. Levi Woodbury, of Portsmouth, N. H., and in the law school of Judge Samuel Howe, of Northampton, Massachusetts. The productions of Mr. Pierce bear witness that these early and priceless advantages for thorough culture were well improved; while the admiration and friendship entertained for him by college contemporaries, who subsequently became ornaments of their profession, was but the commencement of that favor which he has since uniformly attracted towards him. Mr. Pierce in 1827 opened a law office in Hillsborough, opposite the residence of Governor Pierce. At this time the latter enjoyed a wide and just popularity in New Hampshire, and this year he was elected governor. The succeeding year, in consequence of the division in the republican party on the presidential question - a part declaring for General Jackson and a part for Mr. Adams - Governor Pierce, who was a "Jackson man," was defeated. The fruits of this anti-democratic victory were the election, by a small majority, of John Bell governor, and of Hon. Samuel Bell United States senator. The next year, however, Governor Pierce was re-elected. It was in the midst of these stirring scenes that Mr. Pierce commenced the practice of his profession. He had, to favor his advancement in business relations and in political life, it is true, the wide influence of his father; but the great success that immediately attended him would have been but transient, had he not manifested ability, industry, energy and fidelity. These won for him a reputation as wide as it was solid. Mr. Pierce took a zealous part in politics, and in 1829 he was elected representative from his native town, and again the three successive years. This was an era in the political history of New Hampshire. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com

Book excerpt: "Franklin Pierce - - the fourteenth President of the United Sates - - has existed in the public mind as a stereotype rather than as a many-sided human being. The predominate picture that we have of him is that of a weak and shallow man, a "mediocrity" who left little imprint upon the history of the United States. This stereotype, however, is grossly misleading, for Franklin Pierce was not a simple man. Indeed, his personality was complex, made up of varying strengths and conflicting inadequacies, while his life, full of inner turmoil, had an aspect of overwhelming tragedy. This authoritative biography makes available a full-scale study of an unusually interesting human being. With the same thoroughness and intensity that have distinguished all if his historical writing, Roy F. Nichols follows Pierce's life from his earliest years in New Hampshire, though his college career at Bowdoin, his marriage into the distinguished ranks of an established New England family, his rise in politics, his services as a brigadier general of volunteers in the Mexican War, and his election to the Presidency as a "dark Horse" candidate of the Democratic Party. Mr. Nichols minutely examines all the domestic and international crises that beset Pierce's administration - - the growing conflict between North and South that was to erupt within a decade into civil war, the abortive attempt to annex Cuba, the troubled relations with England, the filibustering activities of such men as William Walker which aroused much resentment in Central America toward the United States. Not only does the author refashion the exciting events of these critical days in American history, but he also unfolds, with sympathy and compassion, the tragic developments that dogged Pierce in his personal life -- his difficult marriage, his wife's illness, the death of three sons, the final bleak years of obscurity before he passed away, almost forgotten by the nation he had served."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dedication of a Statue of General Franklin Pierce, Fourteenth President of the United States, at the State House, Concord, November 25, 1914 For many years past the great majority of the people of New Hampshire, who take pride in the honor of their state, and the character and achievements of its able and distinguished sons, have felt that some fitting expression of regard for the name and fame of Franklin Pierce, fourteenth President of the United States, and the only native of New Hampshire to occupy the exalted position of Chief Magistrate of the Republic, should be made, in enduring form, for the benefit of generations to come, in impressing upon their minds the fact that lasting public recognition of true merit and noble service is among the paramount duties of a free people. On several occasions, within the last few years, attempts have been made to secure the passage of a measure by the General Court providing for the erection of a suitable statue, in the State House park, as a testimonial of the people of New Hampshire in honor of this distinguished citizen; but, through partisan bitterness, growing out of the Civil War, and the sectional and political controversies antecedent thereto and resulting therein, these attempts had failed, from factious opposition, though favored by the majority sentiment of the people's representatives, as well as by the people themselves.
