Ereesoil Convention.

We learn by telegraph that the National
Freesoil Convention assembled at Pittsburgh
yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, and Temporal
rily organized by electing Judge SpALDINo,
Of Ohio, as chairman, who returned thanks for
the honor conferred on him. Mr.. LEWIS, the
chairman Of the National Committee, stated
that the call for this meeting was intended to
embrace all the ir.uuIs vi freedom, under what
ever name they might be known. After ap-
pointing Committee on Permanent Organize
ton, the convention took a recess. A mass
meeting was then organized in the Hall, and
was addressed by Messrs. WALKER and
WRIsHr, Of Massachusetts.

JOHN HENDERSON,, Secretary.

The Providence Journal says the report stating
that General Pierce denounced the Fugitive Slave
law at New Boston was "doubtless a humbug, :"
yet seems pleased with the idea that il is njuring
him ut the South We think not. The South is
not quite go green as General Scott's abolition
committee at Washington imagine. Fitz Warren
and Truman Smith can't play of their "humbug'
again.-B0ston Post
Yes, we do think that it was a humbug, and we
think that it Is hurting him, and n ought to hurt
him. That Gcueral Pierce declared in his speech
at New Boston that he ioafhed the Fugitive Slave
law 10 proved beyond a doubt; that he did not
mean any thing by it we frankly admit. He was
talking to Freesoilers, and his purpose to re-
concile them to the rejection Of Atwood. The de-
caration is hurting him at the South, because it
shows his want of sincerity. 1t shows that he can
profess thing and act another, and this shakes
the faith Of those who have placed confidence in
his slavery sentiments. The southern people like
frank. open, manly course. They want n slave
~ man, but they have a great contempt for q
trickster. They naturally suspicious, also, at
the denials of General Pierce's friends That he
made the declarations charged upon him is un.
doubted, 10 proved. The fact that his friends come
out and deny them shakes confidence in any Of
their statements; and especially since some Of
them undertake to cay what II is impossible for
them to know, that General Pierce has never, un-
der any circumstances, at any time. made any
declarations which would not be acceptable to the
South. They prove too much.

The most generous suppostion Is that Mr..
FAULKNER's memory proved treacherous in re-
gard to these ugly antecedents, which detract
from the weight of any judgment he may pro-
nounce on the relative soundness of the two
parties. One of our correspondents recently
showed that Mr.. FAULKNER forgot the Incl
dents Of his last election when he put himself
before the country as Wing seceder. If our
informant were correct in that matter, Mr..
FAULKNER's right to style himself Wing is on
level with his right to rebuke the ,fomentors
Of anti slavery strife.
We have this anomaly, then-that while
active Freesoilers are the witnesses in General
PIERcE's favor on question involving Freesoil
sentiments, the latest assaiant of General

In the memorable contest of $780, you did full
duty under the lead Of the lamented Harrison in
1874, the unrvalled orator, the pure patriot, the
great statesman, Henry Clay-who is now no more,
but whose name 10. and ever will be, synonymous
with all that is noble, gallant, and generous-Ied
you to the battle. and you engaged in it with an
unanimity, fervor and a zeal, worthy Of the
cause and the man; in lS4s, under the standard of
Zachary Taylor, you made a glorious rally for
your country and your principles, and came with

Wing in the land, and for his strict adherence to
these principles you have not only the pledge of
the known incidents OF his long and brilliant
