following paper: 49,, -.-..s,
we, Catholic citizens Of Concord and vicinity,
feel that we are wrongfully marked for prescription
in matters political, when the spirit of the age is
favorable elsewhere to religious toleratlon; and We
think the party in power in this State has shown an
Indifference to our rights highly censurable, mas
much as 10 honest efforts have been made oy then
to remove the impeachment which bars CATHOLICS
from holding, under the State Government, places
of profit honor influence and responsibility; and
we have vet TO learn that General Pierce, who
seems SO solictouG obtain the votes OF people oil
our faith for the high office he seeks, has ever ut
tered word i'll favor, save Just at the close OF
a Concord town meeting, i'll 1852, when the ques-
ron had already been decided against us Ill the
State and also in Concord itself. T4E. .ar-a.5
In our estimation, he has done nothing TO merit
our support. Indeed, in 1885, his own party, i'll
the State Legislature, passed law depriving IN
nauralized citizens of what little right of suffrage
was theirs, up 10 July 18th, OF that year

Let the following affidavit speak 10 honest men,
EVERYWHERE, and tell them That means employ
ed to manufacture public opinion for candidate
" no has become somewhat identified with "Cer-
tificates'' We hear of others OF the $780," who
declare they knew not that their names were used
until they were in print, who nevel consented that
their names should be of the $780, yet, they
employed under those who are very real in their
support of Gen. P, they Lave not yet been urged
to certify to the improper us made OF their names,
the three who sign the following are amply sltt-
ccnt 10 fix the character OF the whole transaction.
We, the undersigned, Catholic citizens of Con-
cord, n. H., having seen our names affixed 10 let
ter dated Concord, n. IT,, Aug. IL, 1852, 10 John
White, Esq, Milwaukee, Wis, representing that

remove the lntolerant test that exists in the Con-
sttutiom of this State, positively and soiemnly de-
clare that we never signed said letter, nor gave any
