bring all the influence they can to bear on
the administration of Gen Pierce, if he is
elected, (as he is pretty sure 10 be, by the
great protestant democratic party of this
Union,) for repeal of the fugitive slave
law, the abolition of slavery wherever the
Federal Government can reach it, and the
great furtherance of our cause? Don't we
find the strongest man. in lS4S, our Presi
Dental candidate for that election, amongst
them-ranged under the banner of frank
lin Pierce, the favorite son of a free State
-freesoil State--a protestant State---in
which Popery has no power. and Roman
Catholic cannot hold office? Our old friends,
| assure you, know their man, and | have
no kind of doubts on my mind but these
men will exert an influence on his mind,
after his election, if any such influence be
needed, as to bring about a repeal of this
abominable law. 1t is certain Mr.. Pierce
cannot be elected any more than General
Cass, in 1S48, if all the freesoilers are to
forsake the good old democratic Platform of
Equal Rights don't mean The late plat
form, adopted at Baltimore; I don't respect
men as the following can respect it.

This list Of the friends of freedom zeal
ously support Mr. Pierce, and think you,
sir, that these men can be induced to pan
der to slavery? Never! They are free
men, the sons Of freemen, born i'll free
States, and thoroughly attached to the prin-
cples Of freedom; and aiding in the elec-
ton of Gen Pierce, in fact eiecting him, if
he shall be elected, they viii take their full
share of the Offices of the Government, and
set their influence against slavery, and make
it cffcctual. [Applause.l Now nay idea,
and the idea OF the majority Of the commu-

ry man OF the two candidates nominated a!
