The Wing & A. r. FOss, the
AbOlitiOnist,

aous,) that the wing paper in this place
should still continse publishing and
harping upon the letters and wailings
Of that notorious abolitionist. A. t.
Foss, against Gen. Pierce. when the
Wing must know that this same Foss
has been positively convicted of pubs
fishing g palpable falsehood in rela>
lion 10 Gen. Pierce's speech at New
Boston. Does not the Wing know that
nearly ali the wing papers IN this broad
Union have hopelessIy abandoned this
infamous fabrication of Foss & Co,
against Gen. Pierce, and tina. many of
the more respectable of them have
from a respect to justice and truth de-
%nounced il as a ~faisehood and vile
slanderY Again, it must appear to all
candid, unprecedented, Southern men,
whether wings or democrats, rather
strange TO see a newspaper here in the
South collecting and parading il lis
columns the evidence of notorious
abolitionists, who are Gen. Pierce's
most inveterate enemies, and who in
the North are straining every nerve
within them to prove to their fellow
abolitionists that Gen. Pierce is and
always has been the uncompromising
champion Of southern slavery; Have
they not industriously searched the re,
cords Of Congress during the eight
years Gen. Pierce was a member of
that body and established by that re.
cord that he always stood by and main
tanned the rights of the South and the
Stakeholder Have they not flooded
the North with this record of General!
Pierce's acts and vote in Congress and
elsewhere TO influence and turn the
abolitionists and frsesoilers against
him! Horace Greedy, the editor of
the New York Tribune, one Of the
rankest abolitiopist at the North, and
the acknowledged leader of the whig
Scott party there, thus speaks of Gen.
Pierce.
III Union does not contain a bitterer
or a more proscriptive pro-slavery bunker
than Franklin Pierce. For years he has
been foremost in sitting every aspiration
Tor freedom among the Democracy of New
Hampshire. He insisted that John P.
Hale should be ostracised and crushed he
cause he refused to vote for the annexation
OF Texas without a stipulation that some
part OF It's immense unsettled territory
should be secured for free soil. The Post
has more recently seen this same Flank
Pierce deprive John Atwood of his nomi.
nation Tor Governor, and drive him out of
the party for nothing else than expressing
a repugnance to the fugitive slave law. In
all New England, slavery and slave-catch-
ing have had no more uuscrupulous thick
andsthln sefvitor than this same Franklin
Pierce"
Now, will any honest mar Of what.

or even cOuntenance this same aboli>

by The basest falsehoods TO dupe the
people of the South into the be-
liet that Gen, Pierce is directly the re-
verse of what they have proven him
to be by the records of Congress and
otherwise Will candid men every
where submit to such a base attempt
of this set to insult their common sense
by declaring and proving by the re

|, Gen, Pierce is and always has been
the champion of slavery and southern
slaveholders-and at the same time a
