Tbroe DAVIS ago the Republic, satisfied with us VIII

longer.
Meanwhile we ask the attention of the press and
of the people to this infamous conspiracy OF stan
der AGAINST Gen. Pierce, in which the Seward and
Scott leaders, and some of their chief organs, are
nanifestly implicated. Let it be everywhere OOrhe
in mind that the whig organs have lent thenseNcs
to the base use of aiding the aboitionsts to fasy
the record of Gen. Pierce. Lett be borne IN mnd
that this course on the part OF the wing organs
utterly without justification and excuse -
Unless. in changing its candidate SO suddenly
and taking ND Gen. Scott, the Republic has also
cbanped all its convictions just as suddenly, that
journal must rejoice to know of the broad national
Ground which, from the frst Gen. Pierce has main
famed on the sectional issues and on the Compro-
mise in all is parts.
Yet now we see the Republic circulating, endor-
sing, and from day to day perssting In detected
and exploded calumny on this point against the
democratic candidate, which was incredible IN ITSELF
which was at once and authoritativey contradicted
which in fact contradicted itself, and which was
STAMPED and branded with infamy by the source
from which it came! Nor is this all. The wing
managers in this city lending themselves to the
same conspiracy to cheat the people out OF then
true Judgment and suffrage on the momentous sec
tiona question, by sending forth documents to both
sections of the country designed to confuse and
mislead the public judgment as to Gen. Plerces
position on that question. Unable to say any thing
for their own candidate on this point-unable to
DENY that he refused to commit himself to the main
tenance of the Compromise, in order that by stand
ing unpledged he might be nominated by the anti,
slavery agitators of the wing party-the southern
whie journals we observe, are cordially joining IN
this abolitonist plot to defme Gen. Pierce by false
ly representing him to have used language salts
factory to the abolitionists.
That this is the viIest and falsest form of person.
al attack upon Gen. Pierce will not be questioned
But that is not the point now make. We
charge that it is most reckless and wicked assault
upon the rights of the people. They have on this
great sectional issue right to know the truth
Any party or any party organ which attempts to
deceive them on this point, makes itself amenable
to their Just indignation. Much more, then, does
the party place itself in that plight which openly
comes forward to aid the aboitionists to defeat
their chief opponent by most falsely fixing upon
him the brand of abolition sentiments.
But we will detain our readers no longer from
the subioined correspondence, which completely eX
poses the infamy of the whig and abolition con,
spiracy against Gen. Pierce to which we have re-
ferred Our readers will perceive that the letters
have been furnished to us for publication by Sena
tor Norris and Hon. Messrs. Hubbard and Peaslee
of New Hampshire.
