soiers And IN regard to their present candl-
date, VIC urge upon the consideration of South
ern men the following array Of unquestlonabln
facts, for which We are Indebted TO the Rich
mond Times
That Gen. Pierce, in his New Boston speech
declared according 10 the version OF his own
friends, that slavery had been introduced into
tins country, AGAINST THE MORAL SENSE OF
THE WORLD"
Tint at least twenty individuals have test.

same speech that ho "loathcd." the fugitive
slave law--that it was. revolving his feelings

posed to humanity, &c, &c. The truth of
this version of his remarks is denied by Gen
Pierce, and his friends, hut the follow ing piece
of testimony from. one whom they themselves
have called to the witness stand will show that
ifGen. Pierce did not say these things at New
Boston he has said them elsewhere
"In his (Perce's) remarks he distinctly a.
vowed that he was as much opposed 10 the in
sttution of slavery any man in New llamp-
shire and made use of language very much
like, ifnot almost the same that have seen
imputed to him in the New Boston speech bv
the Independent and Manchester Democrats"
-lIapp's Letter 10 the Richm0Rd Enquirer.
Let it further be remembered that General
Pierce, as chairman of committee in New
Hampshire Democratic Convention, reported
and voted for IA resolution "dcpIorng the cx-
,stenee Of slavery" and declaring it 40 great
moral and social eoa'
That in his speech at Manchester, in Novem-
Der, 1850, he said that "the men pho aoould dis
solce tie Union did not HATEoy deplorc Slore-
RI morethan lie did,
That in 1884 he voted in Congress in oppo-
stion to the entire delegation from the South
against allowing citizen of Georgetown TO
bring his slave property into the District of
Columbia.
That when asked by Mr. Il. G.. Scott of this
city. whether in case of his election he would
veto a bill! repeating the fugitive slave law, he
failed to respond, thereby refusing to give any
pledge on the subject.
That the New Hampshire Democracy, Of
whom Gen. Pierce is the recognized leader.
and the boosted embodiment" have in times
passed been rotten to the core on the question:
of slavery. denouncng the institution in terms
so offensive that on one occasion their resolu.
tons were thrown back in their teeth by the
Virginia Legislature.
Let the people of the South ponder on these
facts ere they bestow their confidence on an
other Northern man with Southern prime piles.
