Oxford Democrat

We cut the following from the Argus, which we cheerfully present to the consideration of our readers. Let them look well to the claims and qualifications of all the candidates in the field, and prepare to act understandingly.

Butler and Pierce.

A correspondent of the Lowell Advertiser writes as follows in regard to the Democratic candidates for President and Vice President.

The ticket he suggests—Butler and Pierce— would be a strong one, and could not be beaten. There is no sounder, truer or better man in the broad land than William O. Butler.

He is one of Gen. Jackson's pupils, and possesses many of the best characteristics of his venerable chief. And with New Hampshire's favorite, the ticket would be a very popular one:

"In all local elections there will be an 'odor of nationality.' So far as we can learn, the choice of the Old Bay State is, for President, W. O. Butler, of Kentucky; for Vice President, Franklin Pierce, of New Hampshire. Judge Woodbury was New England's choice. It is gone. The old War Horse of Mason and Dixon, upon the death of the Judge, writes to friend in the north, in view of all the rival candidates, "W. O. Butler, of Kentucky, is a man of very elevated ability, and his politics without a fault." So far as we can learn, this sentiment meets with a full echo from the entire north. We learn from sources entitled to credit, that the democracy of N. Hampshire contemplate presenting the name of Pierce as the candidate for the Presidency. This is not strange, for there runs in his veins the best democratic blood of New England. Old Ben Pierce (his father) was a fighting soldier at the battle of Bunker Hill. Neither father nor son have ever wavered the tithe of a hair from that day to this. The father was in the revolutionary war, the son in the last war. The father held the highest honors of the State to the day of his death. The son is the most popular man of his age in New England.

He is truly and emphatically the representative of the young Democracy of New England, and possesses energy, capacity, and earnest political tact, worthy the almost idol worship of his young political companions.

He entertains an opinion of the fitness of W. O. Butler, of Kentucky, for the highest honors of the nation, and the vote in the next campaign, for the democracy of the whole country to go into convention with a united expression that should speak triumph from its proceedings.

Individual States seem each to be presenting the eminent men of their localities— Hence, we find in Pennsylvania, Buchanan; Michigan, Cass; Illinois, Douglas; Wisconsin and Iowa, Dodge; Texas, Houston; New York, Marcy; Tennessee, young W. H. Polk; and New Hampshire, Pierce. In view of the state of things, Massachusetts would present the name of Gen. Cushing, but local considerations. And we agree with him. There should be no political aspirants to State pride, to postical rafrrgr eolee the teat canvass. The united people's teer should be sought, and we should go to that evnventien with a unanimets of cipressson that would he a aore preeurwt of vetory- With dur deferenwe to others for thir pariial stirs and hiveriles, we are of epinion Irom &non ledge gaitied by sopurry smmg the pre phe, that W o Hutler of heotorkr, morits in an emisent degree thune quabituss ard that fositrom uhich point him out as Ths wasfe raure a emarratie rlory N H Patrd
