1he following letter, addressed by the Hon.
John p. Hale to the editor Of the Union, ap-
pears in that journal of yesterday:
Dover, III, Aug. IL, 1852.
To tie Editor Of the Union:
SIR: In the Washington Union of the 9TH
instant, under the head Meeting in. Accomac,
Virginia-Thrilling DialogueG a conversation
is saidsto have occurred between Mr.. Wise and a
Mr.. Map, at a meeting, in which "the following
thrilling dialogue took place.
Mr1 Wise. "Were you in New Hampshire
two years ago, and did you not hear Hale speak,
andSay in his speech that che would head an
army to march upon the South and put down
slavery?'
Mr.. Map. a was there; heard Mr.. Hale
speak, andssay what you state"
Mr. Wise. "Did you not hear Franklin Pierce
reply to this, and say.If Hale should head an
army to march. on the South, be had first to
march over his (Pierces) dead body; for he
would head anarmy to oppose him?'
: Mr. Map. II did IA
The account then proceeds; g ep can mag
me the feeling which thiszrepl y ELECTED. The
courthouse rang with shouts 'isf applause, re-
peated again and again. Mr. wise then reques-
ted his opponent tosstateihe facts again, which
heidi to az almost b eathless auditory: Gen
l0lcS uiee%9dy, (sidpplhS HIS manu- upon MS
breast that Hale would have to pass over his
dead body before he marched upon the South. !"
To this permit me briefly to reply, that for
-4sseSe : = -saENle ,y->s,.sssy 1iisavs
been spoken in Virginia courthouse,thefe is
not a syllable of truth in the whole of it. No
such remak was ever made by me, and of course
no such answer by Gen. Pierce, nor was there
a meeting holden in New Hampshire or else
where in which such a dialongue could have oc-
CURED. Gen. Pierce and myself have not spo-
ken at the same public meeting since 1910
when we both spoke on thesame side-but once,
and that was at the NORTH Church, in Concord,
New HAMPSHIRE, in June, go; andHI am sure
that of the thousands who atlended that meeting
not one can be found who III pretend that any
thing of the kind took place at tlat time. That,
however, has nothing to do with the statement,
as the remarks related by Mr.. Map were made
at meeting holden two years since

at political meeting holden in this town on the

by Gen. Franklin Pierce; and while / cannot

LOUDON, WEDNESDAY, OCT, 20, 1852.

Rev. A. t. Fossil has become necessary
for the Democratic party to heap all kinds OF
abuse upon this gentleman because he was the
Reporter Of the celebrated Ne,c Boston Speech,
delivered by Gen. Pierce last January, when the
General was not dreaming of the Presidency
They have published him all over the country as
a convicted horse-thief, who had served his time
in the Penetentiary of N. H. and as guilty of
purjury, and every other offense in the catalogue
of crime. 1t turns out, however, that Mr.. Foss
is a Baptist Minister of good standing in his
Church and the community in which he lives,-
and that he never before was accused of stealing
and of being a convicted felon. He never was
in the Penetentiary. The following is the
sworn-to testimony of his neiphbors:

GEN. PIERCE'S LETTER.

Desiring to meet out equal justice to both
Wings and Democrats, we publish the following
letter from Gen. Pierce, in which he denies the
correctness of the Report made of his New Bos-
ton speech by Mr.. Foss. We feel no desire to
attempt to advance the Wing cause by misrep-
resentation and concealment. If the Wing par
ty cannot stand without such aid, we want it
crushed to a thousand atoms!
If Gen. Pierce is elected President we shall
have no fears of injustice being inflicted upon
the South thereby. We feel the same way in
regard to Gen. Scott. They both stand on the
same great Platform on this subject and that
Platform is the one upon which Fillmore's Ad-
miniStration rests There is a conservative in
Auence surrounding the Presidential Office no
where else felt to the same extent. Governors
may be bound in their feelings by the lines Ell
closing the territory which they govern-Con-
gressmen by an isolated constituency. The
President feels that the eyes of the whole coun-
try are upon him-and that his constituents live
in Maine and in California-Texas and Michi-
gan. He has been honored with the suffrage of
all-he fells found to protect the interests of all

From the Washington Republic.
A LETTER FROM GEN. PIERCE.

The accompanying correspondence will COM
mend itself to public attention. 1t embraces
letter from Gen. Pierce, exculpating himself
from the charges founded upon the published
reports of his New Boston speech, and giving
his own version of his position before the coun-
try on the slavery question:
WASHINGTON, July, II, 1851.
DEAR SIR: Inclosed you will find an article.
in which as one of the editors of the Southern
Press, of this city, TODD issue with my colleague
in advocacy of your claims to the Southern sup
port, for the Presidency. That action was pre-
dicted upon my belief of your entire soundness
upon the Slavery question Within the last week
you IN January last, has been re-published from
two Democratic papers in your own State,
(which are said now to support you. On the
truth or falsity of this much depends. Neither
those with whom | act, nor myself, can consent
that any doubt should rest on a matter of such
Importance; but placing full reliance on the
fearless frankness of your character, on their be-
half and my own, | respectfully ask of you
whether that report, which your Southern supper
tiers believe to be without foundation, as opposed
to your previous course, is correct? The pecu-
liar position which Ioccupy must plead my apol-
ogy for troubling you with this letter. Very res
pectfully, your obedIent servant,
EDWIN DELEON.

POSTAGE SrAMps.-The last singul

passage of a resolution by The Oneida IN. W
Methodist COME renee, preclading the use Of
postage stamps. In what way these conve-
nient little appendages have offended against
the conscience, is not stated
Whereas the use Of post office stamps may,
by possibility, subject the most circumspect
TO the ground!ess imputa,ion of fraudulent M
tentions; therefore
, Resolred, That we deem the practice oil
using them OF doubtful expediency ana re-
commend to Forego the trtling convenience
which their use secures. Adopted and order
