Excerpt from Some Papers of Franklin Pierce: 1852-1862 Now in my judgment if at the proper time at the Convention you will allow your name to be used as a compromise candidate, you stand as good a chance of the nomination as any man I can now think of. In casual conversation I have asked southern gentlemen how you would suit the South and they have invariably responded most favorably. I am boarding with C01. Barbour, President of the late Virginia Demo cratic Convention, and he says the South would cordially unite on you. He tells me that a majority of the Convention was for Buchanan in pre ference to Cass or Douglass. There is another very intelligent gentleman boarding with me from Florida, by the name of Blunt. Mr. Atherton 1 knows him. I believe he is a Whig. But he says that no Northern man would be more generally acceptable than yourself to the South. I have also talked with Floyd, M. C., from New York and he says both of the Democratic factions in that State would unite upon you. Hence I believe that you are among the very probable candidates for the Presidency, if you will allow your name to be used at the right time. But I must say frankly that you have not been quite free enough with your friends in relation to this subject. I can not learn as anyone knows what you would do or consent to have others do in reference to the nomination. You hold out the idea that there is no office you will again accept. Unless your determination never to accept of any office is irre vocable, I think you should say that you place your destinies so far as the Presidency is concerned in the hands of your friends. I do not of course think it prudent to put you forward as a candidate for the Presidency until the three prominent candidates are first disposed of. If they shall all be defeated in the Convention, then your name should be put forward as a compromise candidate.
