Carolina august 6, 1852.
enclose you money for the Era for a sub
scriber. | can assure you that the Anti-Sla-
very sentiment is not dead in the old North
State-far from it. The opposition we have
received has tended to strengthen our little
band, and made it more willing to labor and
suffer for the advancement of our glorious
cause. Send No. 29l, for want to see Chase
excellent letter.

as that paper is now merged in the Christian
Press.
The new paper will probably be continued
as a permanent organ after the present cam
paign. There will be no holding back among
the tried and true Anti Slavery men here this
fall some few who were with us in '4S have
left us since, but others from the ranks of the
supporters of the institutes will more than fill
their places F. B. n.
WEST Troy July II, 1852
DR.. BAILEY am anxious to procure two
numbers of the Era, which are missing from
my fies-one of December 2, 1S47 also one
of vol. 3, containing page 1913. The papers
referred to contain each scrap from the
Workshop Bard THAT of December I'd may
have a different signature,) as ! have no cor
rect copy of either of the pieces If you have
the papers on hand, and will send them to me,
will satisfy you for your trouble.
would be glad to send you another list of
subscribers but am in the hardest field for
such effort have ever found Perhaps may
raise you few. ] shall regret to have this
year pass as the first in which have failed in
this respect since the starting Of tire Era. Our
Democratic friends Tor, rather, might say, the
LocofocosD in Troy have just unfurled their
banner, with the motto, Union, Harmony,
and Victory" Having abandoned all prinoi-
Pile, they wisely refrain from avowing anything
of the kind, and battle only for conquest and
spoils our Dix, Van Buren,, Bryant, and
alas! we must add Stanton

A snare for all -
all, all licking the dust at the feet of those
whom they in l84S confronted and appalled,
by the stern reiteration of the principles of
true Jeffersonian Democracy:
LETTER OF FRANKLIN PIERcE-We publish
this week the letter Of acceptance of Franklin
Pierce The italics are ours. We can only
say that toe repudidie entirely and unequUOCdi-
la the position there assumed, and The principles
there espo,tsed We hope never again to see a
support which this paper gives to the nominees
is upon other and entirely different grounds,
and is in spite of, instead of because Of this
position.
The position il degradation TO the North,
an insult to the dignity of selfrespect, and VIC
lently opposed to the instincts of humanity, the
principles of freedom, and the duty Of truth and
Justice. The Democratic party is destined to
ruin, sooner or later, if it shall not hereafter
assume better position.-OAkosh WIS., Dem.
What folly this is-to repudiate the plat
form, and support the candidates, especially
when the candidates accept the platform as a
true exposition of their principles The Osh-
kosb Democrat says: "The position is degra-
dation to the North, an insult to the dignity Of
selfrespect, and violently opposed to the in
stincts of humanity, the principles Of freedom,
and the duty of truth and justice" True If
this is the position of the platform, what is the
position of those who support candidates who
endorse such platform! Let the Independent
Democracy of the country seriously ask them
selves this question
