The noble, generous, hearty, and eloquent endorsement which Franklin Pierce gave to the nominees of the Cincinnati Convention has had a powerful influence in the Granite State. The Democracy are arousing to the fight with a will. The national whigs are taking rank with them in the great battle for the Union.
At a late mass meeting in Nashua the assembly was addressed by A. P. Hughes, esq., in support of Buck and Breck. Mr. H. has been heretofore an old-line Whig. He was postmaster of that city under the Taylor and Fillmore administration, and was a Whig candidate for member of Congress from that district in 1853.
D. D. Dodge, esq., was next announced. He has been heretofore an old line Whig, and announced his fixed determination to vote for Buchanan.
Mr. Wm. A. Sleeper, another old line Whig Hon. G. W. Morrison, and Col. John H. George also made effective and eloquent speeches.
A correspondent of the Springfield Argus corroborates this prospect by the following prediction:
"Set down the 'old Granite State' as safe for Buchanan and Breckinridge by two thousand majority."
