A Democratic Party rally during the 1852 presidential campaign, endorsing "with joyous hearts, the names of Franklin Pierce and William R.

In looking over the troubles and darkness which hung around our National Convention, the name of Pierce was discovered, like an oasis in our desert, to cheer and gladden us all."
