-r'eufoa Rase Fraud. i.H
This Presidential campaign will be re-
Inembered in history as the CANVASS OF
FRAUDS. The only arguments which the
Whip party pretend TO employ in 1t are
. senseless hurrahs and downright lies
We use the coarse word with q due re-
gard to its meaning, When an individu-
al or party of individuals make asser-
tons which they know to be untrue, of a
low and base and malicious character,
and with a low and base and malicious
motive, the only single word which fully
and distinctly expresses their nature, is,
that short, plain, idiomatic Saxon mono
syllable which we have written. What
other word expresses the nature of the
false charge Of religious bigotry, the false
charge Of cowardice, the false charge of
drunkenness, the false charge of loathing
the laws Of the United States, which
Wing presses and orators have reiterated
against Mr.. Franklin Pierce in this can
vass ? Those charges were not believed
by those who started them; they were
never believed by those who circulated
them, and now that they have all OF them
been disproved so far as human evidence
and human testimony can prove or dis
prove anything ;-what is their reiteration
but LIE upon an innocent man?
The more honorable portion of these
people, it is but just to say, do not repeat
these things, They wait for new Roor-
back. How long they will have to wait,
we cannot say but if they have to wait
long, we feel certain that it will be from
want of ingenuity, and not from the pos
session of too much principle
This last assertion will not appear un-
founded, when the reader has perused
the following GARD, the circulation of
which in letter from and under the
franks of the members of Congress whose
names are signed to it. has just been de-
tected in many quarters of the country at
the same time:
GA CARD.
ITO our constituents at large, and TO all
qOho may support tie Union and the Con-
stitution, anaMe Compromises Of the PeO-
pie:
WAsutNGToN, August, 1852.
I" To vindicate ourselves, and to pre-
vent all Misrepresentation and mistake,
we, the undersigned Senator'S, Represen-
tatives, &c, in Congress, adopt this me-
thod of making joint statement to our
constituents respectively. and to all who
may take an interest in tho subject, that
we cannot and will not support General
Pierce for the Presidency, as he now
stands before the American people, for
the following among other reasons:
"He obstinately refused, up to the time
of tho nomination to ayow himself a can
didate, or to give the people any infor-
nation whatever, either respecting his
future policy or his personal history, to
know which Tin advance) is with us a
question ofparamount interest. Nor has
he since his nomination done anything to
throw light upon this subject, or to iudi-
cate that he is entitled to the votes of the
American people for any service yet rem
pered as a presidential candidate.
I" 1t is true the resolutions of the con-
vention which nominated him are clearly
Democratic, and strong enough against
the Federal party, and judicioHs on the
Kossuth and Compromise questions; but
does Mr.. Pierce give 'the approval of his
Judgement This he seems studiously
and wickedly to have avoided. He ac-
cepts the nomination, and says that "the
sur prise with which received the nomi-
nation was mingled with PAINFUL solicit
TUBE" That is, he takes the nomination
as an individual takes an estate-( in tran
situ)--IF HE CAN GET IT. And the only
pledge or guarantee we have that he will
be available, are few and unfortunate
'known incidents of his experience in Mex
leo. This we regard as q vital matter
with the Democratic party.
Among these knoOa incidents' there
is not one so far as We are aware, which
entities him to be called general, In
one at least of his public speeches he has
declared sentiments similar to this
Since the nomination, he has suffered his
name to be held up before the people of
the several States as Franklin w Pierce,
Franklin II, Pierce, Frank, L. Pierce,
Franklin Pearce, Franklin L. Price, B.
Franklin Pierce. and in other forms dis
creditable to descendants of the noble
house of Old England's Northumberland
Percy's. And in the convention which
conferred the nomination upon him, he
made no objection to the use of his name
by the secessionists of the South and the
AboliLionists of tho North in that body to
defeat Gen. Cass. Mr.. Buchanan. and
other Democratic patriarohs, because of
their firm adherence to the ancient princi-
pies of Federal Democracy and time-ho.
