The renowned Richelieu Robinson, who made
such personal attack on General Pierce, at the
wing ratification meeting at New York, has been
here for several days, closeted with $3.50, bro
ken down politician, who is generally believed to
be the author of the SANDER in the Tribune, charg
ing General Piecre with being incorporate IN ms
habits-which even Greeley, dirty, and mean, ana
scurrious he is, compelled to abanoon'
from its being VIGOROUSLY false, that all 'oe re
spectacle wings of our city were utterly oisguS.eS
with it. Everybody here asks what is IN the WIND
now Is Robinson hunting up materials for an
other onslaught in the New York abolition papers,
or for a stump speech b? No doubt he wants to re-
tain his situation in the Custom House or to get
something better from Gen. Scott. Don't wish he
NAV get II? Mr.. was formerly demo-
crat, and was Secretary of State here, but turned
himself out of the party, as the patty say, was
turned out by them for certain tricks well known to
himself. He became whig and an abolitionist,
and follower of every ism and "wind of doc
trine.'' He run into the ground two or three alb
clifton and temperance papers, OF which he was
the editor He has been long the veracious cores
pondent of the Tribune and Greeley, who is
New Hampshire man, and knows the antecedents
Of, would never permit him to correspond
for his paper if he wanted to do what was upright
and honorable But he is a man exactly after his
own heart, and though, under the influence of fear,
Greeley lately pretended that the letter was nser-
ted without his knowledge, nobody here that1 have
seen believes him on the contrary, there is good
reason to believe that his correspondent has been
employed by Greeley to do such dirty work. He
has visible means of support and no vocation by
which he living He is the mortal enc
my of General Pierce, who does not speak to him,
and he is set down by every democrat here, as the
author of those attacks that appear at a distance
10 the whig journals. Some few years ago, let
ter appeared in of the papers here signed with
the name of Senator, and intended to produce a
temporary political effect. The letter turned out
to be forgery and the Concord Patriot denoun-
ced some one as the author. He brought suit
against the proprietor of the paper, and though he
swore that he was not the writer, and that at the
time he was not in the place where the letter was
written, the jury did not appear to believe him,
for they returneda verdict in favor of the defend
ant Such is the individual with whom W. E.
Robinson has been closeted What is in the wind?
Perhaps your correspondent ''Viator' could fer
ret ii out.
The recent article In the Washington Republic,
charging General Pierce with having stated in a
speech delivered in New Boston, in February last,
that che hated and loathed the Fugitive Slave
law, and that sit was against the common law,
and ought not to be obeyed," excites infinite mer-
riment here with some, and extreme disgust with
others Just like the charge of intemperance, and
the charge of c0wardice, it is the very reverse OF
the fact. The report of this speech was first pub
lished in the Independent Democrat, of Concord,
and the Manchester Democrat, two abolitioh pa
berS of the strongest character: They boed when
Atwood was set up the first time for Governor,
aud they have been rabid for abolition ever since
The report was denounced at the time by the reg
ular democratic papers maliciously and inten-
tionallY false. Their object in making this state
ment was that their candidate for Governor, Rev
Mr.. Atwood might take few votes from the dem
bcratic candidate at the coming elettot. ct the
republic has the audacity to say that the paper:
from which it copies regular democratic pa
bers. and cordial supporters of General Pierce
whereas they are both VIGOROUSLY known to bt
opposed to him, and filled every week with
the most violent and scurrilous abuse of him, boil
as a statesman and private citizen The public
here would as rely upon the testimony o
Arnold the traitor against the character OF Gen
eral Washington, to give any credence to wha
is said in these journals against General Pierce
The utter abSurdty of the charge is made appa
rent by the fact that General Pierce went to New
Boston during the campaign Immediately preced
ing the last State election, for the express purpos
Of sustaining the Fugitive Slave law, which wa
the only material issue the time before the PEG
pie of New Hampshire. And when it is recollec
ted that all Frank Pierce's great contests hav
been on that side-that he overthrow John P
Hale, candidate for Senator, and drove him on
of the party for having written letter against tn
annexation of Texas, and that he denounced At
wood candidate for Governor, month befor
the election-called another convention and de
feated him, because he intimated in a letter t.
some of his abolition friends, who boosted of it
that he did not exactly like some of the provision
of the Fugitive Slave law, and thought they ough
to be amended--we must come to the conclusion
that the Republic must be either extremely igno
rant of the politics of the country and ought t
take some lessons from you, or, for party purpo
ses, it has wilfuy and shamelessly falsifed histo
r.. CATO.
