Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life of Gen. Frank; Pierce, the Granite Statesman: With a Biographical Sketch of Hon. William Rufus King, Vice President of the United States
The Convention had been three days assembled, and a nomination seemed to be no nearer than ever. Each delegation had stood faithfully by their favorite; and however severe the repulse they bad after each defeat, returned manfully again to the encounter. Nor was this spectacle one over which every true-hearted American might not rejoice - for it was but the friendly struggle of brothers - all enlisted in the same glorious campaign, but each most closely attached to a beloved Leader.
