EMOCRATIC REPUBLICAN GENERAL COMMITTEE, —At a regular meeting of the Democratic Republi- can General Committee, held at Tammany Hall, on Thursday evening, March 3, L. B. Shepard in the chair, Mr. Fernando Wood offered the following resolutions, which, on motion, were unanimously adopted :— Whereas, The democratic party of the Union, by com- mon labor ‘and united action in all sections of the coun- try, by magnanimous sacrifice of mutual differences, and forgetfulness of causes of dissension, are about to resume the administration of the jent; and whereas, it is proper that we, the ste eal of the democratic prrty of the city of New York, should express our senti- ments upon this occasion. Therefore, be it Resalved, That we maintain and adhere to the resolu- tions adopted by the Demooratic Republican Convention, held at Baltimore, in June last, asa full and definite statement of the principles of the democratic party of the Union, and that we mean, in the spirit of those resolu- tions, to maintain the constitutional rights of every sec- tion of that Union. Resolved, That we adhere to the Monroe doctrine as a Proper exposition of the policy of the country, and that we have full confidence that the administration of Frank- lin Pierce will be so conducted, both upon foreign and August 25, 1852.—The success of Dr. Morse’s Invigorat- wg Cordial appears to be of the most extraordinary cha- acter. We publish to-day two certificates in its behail, ene from Thomas Lloyd. 38 Prince street, of this city, andone from the Rev. Mr. White, of Lynn. Mr. Lloyd | Believes the medicine to have saved his life, and Ma Whito | seems to en ertain an equally strong confidence in its effi- @acy. Intelligent men like those would not praise so strongly what they did not fully believe to be true, THE GOLDEN RUIZ. The Odd Fellows’ paper publishes the following:— Among the numerous extracts of medicines recommended for the long train of nervous diseases depending upon prestration or debility, from whatever cause produced, . Morse’s Invigora' Cordial bears the palm of supe- rierity. This indeed a valuable medicine, and having seen it | used with decided advantage in a number of cases. we | an reeommend it with pleasure, and with fall confidence im its success.

SKE ¢ oF THE PRESIDENT A\D CABINET, VICE PRESIDENT AND SENATORS, FORMING THE BIBCuUTIVE BRANCH UNITED STATFS GOVERNMENT. We have, on former oe: vas, informed the readers of the New York Hea: 0. the characterand pub lic career of the President and Vice-President elect, also of some of the momlers of the new cabinet to be formed by President Vierce. We now present , for the convenience of future reference, as well as a matter of present iutere connected series of brief sketches of the samé di ished individuals, to which we add short notices of the Senators compos ing that executive and legislative body on and after this date. THE PRESIDENT—PRANKLIN PIERCE, Was born at Hillsborough, New Hampshire, in the year 1804, He is a son of the late Governor Benja- min Pierce, and is now forty-nine years of age, being the youngest man who has yet been elected to the Presidency. After completing his academical studies, he entered Bowdoin College, Maine. Havy- ing graduated at that institution, he studied law, was admitted to the bar, and commenced practioe in his native town. Within two years he was elected to the Legislature, and during his second year's service he was chosen Speaker of the House of Representatives of New Hampshire. In 1982 he was elected to Congress, and took his seat as a member of the Howse in 1833. During the four years he remained in that body he was a steady sup porter of the democratic administration of Gen. Jack- son, but, being modest and unassuming, seldom dis- tinguished himself in debate. In 1837 he was trans- ferred to the Senate of the United States, but resign- ed his seat in 1842, at the close of the fifth year of his term, and returned t» his profession at Concord. At the bar of New Huinpshire he rose to high dis- tinction as an advocate, and was considered one of the ablest lawyers in the State. After resuming his practice, he declined office, refusing a seat in the cabinet of President Polk, and offers of nominatiom for Governor, or United States Senator. When the war with Mexico occurred, Mr. Pierce en rolled himself as a private soldier in the New Eng- land regiment; but the President sent him a colonel’s commission, and afterwards advanced him to the rank of brigadier general, in March, 1847. He landed at Vera Criz on the 28th of June of that year, with a command of 2,500 men, and distinguished himself in several of the battle which were fought between Vera Crug and the city of Mexico. On the return of peace, he resigned his commission, and returned home, where he met with a cordial and brilliant reception from his fellow- citizens. He was elected a member of the State Convention called to revise the constitution of New Hampshire, and was chosen President of that body, In 1848, he was often mentioned as a candidate for the Vice Presidency of the United States, but ear- nestly resisted all suggestions tending to a nomina- tion. In January, 1852, the Democratic State Con- vention at Concord unanimonsly presented his name asa candidate for President of the United States; but in a letter to his friend, Mr. Atherton, on the 12th January, General Pierce thus expressed him- self in declining the intended honor: ‘The eame motives which induced me, several years ago, to retire from private life, now impel me to say, that the use of my name, in any event, before the Demo- cratic National Convention at Baltimore, to which you are a delegate, would be utterly repugnant to my tastes and wishes.” We deem # unnecessary to repeat here the well-known circumstances which led to the nomination and subsequent triumphant election of General Pierce to the high office he did not seek, but which the people have, notwithstand- ng, conferred upon him, and the responsibilities of which now devolve upon him. HES THE VICE PRESIDENT—WILLIAM RUFUS KING, Is a native of North Carolina, where he was born in 1786. He is, consequently, 67 years of age; and such is the precarious state of his health that it is doubtful—if he should return to the United States from his present visit to the West Indies—whether he will be able to perform the duties of Vice President. These are limited to presiding in the Senate; and in his absence the President pro tem. of that body, who is elected by the Senators, takes his place, Mr. Atchison, of Missouri, is at present President pro tem. In case of the death of the Vice President, Mr. Atchison would remain in the same position as at present, without assuming the title, as the office would then be vacant; but in case of the death of both President and Vice President, the President of the Senate pro tem. becomes President of the United States, until an election can be held. Thisis accord- ing to the provisions of the act of Congress of March 1,1792. Weare not acquainted with the early life of Mr. King, with regard to his pursuits and studies, but we find that he entered public life before he had at tained his twenty-first year, when he was chosen by the people of Sampson county to represent them in the Legislature of his native State. At the age of twenty-four, in 1810, he was elected by the people of the district of his residence to the Twelfth Congress, which held its first session inthe autumn of 1811, It was that Congress which declared war with Great: Britain; and for that measure of the democratic or republican party, Mr. King voted, as well as for the various acts for carrying on the war with yigor. He was re-elected to Congress in 1813 and 1815, remain- ing a member until a year after peace was restored, In 1816 he resigned his seat in Congress, in conse- quence of receiving the appointment of Secretary of Legation to Mr. William Pinkney, Minister to both Naples and St. Petersburg. During his two yeara residence in Europe, Mr. King became well acquaint- ed with the affairs of the continental governmente, and the condition and character of the people. Returning from Europe, Mr. King soon after re- moved from North Carelina to the territory of Ala- bama, in 1618, and assisted in the framing of the constitution of the same, previous to its admission into the Union as a State. He was chosen by the Legislature one of the first Senators from Alabama, (John W. Walker be.n his colleague,) and took his eeat in the United States Senate in 1819. He con- tinued a member of that body for over twenty-four consecutive years, having been re-elected in 1823, 1829, 1885, and 1841. Te resigned his seat in tha spring of 1844, in consequence of being offered tha mission to France by President Tyler; which ap- pointment he accepted mainly with a view of pre- venting the joint protest of France and England against the then pending annexation of Texas. He was the early and decided friend of that great atroke of policy which secured to the people of this coun: try the control of all the good cotton lands not lying within the old boundaries of the confederation or the purchase of Louisiana.

Louig Philippe discussed the subject with Mr. King, and became satisfied that the projected protest would not avert annexation. The French king finally declared that “be would do nothing hostile to the United States, pr which could give to her just cause of offence.” By the means of Mr. King’s mie sion, England was isolated,and her plan of a pro test against the annexation of Texas was abandon ed. In November, 1845, Mr. King, having obtained permission to resign his office of Ambassador, re- turned to the United States. In 1848 he was agaia appointed United States Senator (rom Alabama, ia place of Arthur Bagby, sent to Russia; and in 1849 he was elected by the Legislature for the full term of nix years. In 1850, Mr. Fillmore, the Vice President,f having succeeded to the Presidency by the death o
