The certificate of General Perce's friends,
denying the accuracy of Mr.. Foss' report of
the New Boston speech, will be better under
stood after reading the following from the Con-
cord IN. H) Statesman:
Our position is such as warrants us in saw
ing that the utmost exerlons are being made
here. by as unscrupulous and ravenous set
politicians as ever had being in the land, to
produce the result " hich all good hiss de.
sire TO avert. There are probably at least five
hundred men in New Hampshire " bo, should
Zen. Pierce be chosen, expect TO have prom
nlinent political stations abroad, saving moth
ing of as many more who are on the lookout
for the crumbs to be CLEANED from commissions
as po.tmas,ers and other small offices within
the bounds of New Hampshire. The Loco
focos of this State are born with an instinct
for Office, and it never dies out; and should
such an event take place as the election of
General Pierce, they will on the 4th of March,
1858, be as plentiful and troublesome at Wash
ngton as the flies Of Egypt
No means. however questionable, will belief
uninterrupted by these men to defeat General
Scott. and we invoke the Wings Of the whole
Country to be upon the alert"
The apprehension is entertained by some
that the Virginia democracy will require the
withdrawal of General Pierce. in consequence
of his antislavery views. We have had no
such fear. The party that assisted in making
Van Buren, President, and that now sustaius
Governor johnson in his 'higher law" doc
trines. can find no difficulty in giving the fra.
,ernal hug to the man who "ha,es and de-
plures" slavery. But if it should be made to
appear that they are not to get their proper
portion of treasury pay, then farewell to all
chance for Pierce with the Untcrrfed of the
Old Dominion By chance. fish might live gu,
of wafer, or fowls without air, but withdraw
from locofoism the hope of possessing the off,
ces and emolumen,s of the government, and i,
would burst like toad in an exhausted recciv-
