paper in that city called the Union Democrat
kicked out Of the democratic party about three
years since-or rather it kicked itself into the free
soil party-the democratic platform not being broad
enough for the enlarged "human freedom philan-
thropy of its editor, who came from Columbus,
Georgia, few years since, where he is reputcd to
have held slaves.
Such is Mr.. Exporter Foss, and such are the
papers for which he reports. l did not hear Gen.
Pierce, at New Boston, and cannot say whether he
is mirepresentcd or not, from personal knowledge;
but there are one hundred and eleven respectable
citizens-two of whom are editors of newspapers,
who gave sketch Of Gen. P's remarks at New
Boston-who have certified to the falsity Of
Foss's report At least fifty of the number we're
competent to make q report MS Foss himself His
report. or rather communication purporting to give
what Gen. p. said, was denounced by many Of those
present at the time, as grossly incorrect-a mere
caricature. Foss was there on purpose to misrepre

year, which Gen. Pierce addressed Foss was there,
witha gang ofabolitionrowdies Gen. P. sustainedthe
Fugitive Slave law, and was Kissed several times by
these fellows Foss was continually interruptng the
speaker by asking questions. The disturbance was
finally silenced by movement on the part Of those
who sympathised in the object of the meeting-the
maintenance of the Union and Compromise mea-
sures-to put Foss and his friends down stairs. The
Manchestr Democrat subsequently, published gar
bled account of the meeting, similar to that of the
New Boston meeting, probably prepared by its ere

Here is an extract from Reporter Foss's account
OF the New Boston speech:-

In the above Gen. Pierce is made to say that
"tbe Fugitive Slave law is opposed to,humanity,"
and that sit is opposed to moral right" and in the
very next three lines he is made to declare 81 say

this is fair report; that Gen. made such IN ad

and never did he stutify himself in any such way.
He is too ahrewd to be caught in that manner by
any aboltionist-even by Mr. Reporter Foss, the
new accession of the Washington Republic office.
