General Pierce and lhe Catholics.

The following letter, signed by thirty>
six Catholic citizens os New Hampshire
and by the Catholic pastor OF Manchester
and Concord, a copy Of which has been
handed to US for publication, should put ON
end to the calumnious (alsehoods which have
been so induslriously circulated about Gen.
Pierce in connection with the religious test
in the New Hampshire constitution. Its
addressed TO q gentleman Who he'd written
on behalf Of the Roman Catholic voters
Of the Far West Cor correc, Information
where it could best be procured, Of Gen.
Psrcs's Catholic neigh6ors, feilow-ci,izens
and constituents Of the prescribed religious
faith. Their answer Is unreserved and
conclusive. From the pastor TO the hum
blest member Of his fock, their testimony
is united, not only as to his entire liberals
ty Of opinion, but as to his strenuous exer'
tions to remove wha. he himself repeatedly y
styled ".he stigma of religious intolerance"
from the New Hampshire constitution.
Though we do not expect the whig press
will Withstand the impusations which ,hi.
communication is designed to expose, we

OLICS OF NEW HAMPSHIRE.

To John White, ESQ.,, Milwaukee, Wis.
DEAR SIR:-Understanding that an im-
preston has obtained in Wisconsin 10 o
considerable extent, and especially among
that portion Of your people that are Catho.
lies, that Gen. Franklin Pierce of this
Slste, was unfriendly to Catholics, as re-
ligious sect, and that an a.temp; has been
made TO hold him responsible for the odious
religious test contained in the constitution
Of this State; the undersigned Catholic cit.
izens of Concord deem it our duty TO say
tina, the Catholics Of this State and Of New
England, and especially that portion Of
them that are Of his political opinions, en-
terrain for him the highest respec. as pol.
;tician and a man. Especially do they
fesl under great obligations TO him for his
powerful efforts in the convention to ex>
punge that odious "lesy" from the constitu-
iion Of New Hampshire, and for his efforts
before the people to have the amendment
TO the constitution adopted which provided
for striking out the religious test. Any
impression Of the kind indicated, does Gen.
Pierce gren. injustice, and we regret that,
for partisan purposes, he has been thus mis-.
represented
We send this to you, not for elec.ioneer-
ing or partisan purposes, but us simple
act Of justice to one Of the creates, opponents
the odious .'tes.' has 10 New Hampshire,
and to one OF the most liberal and tolerant
OF its citizens.
We have been presen, in several meet.
ings, and at the last town meeting, when
this proposed amendment wns submitted 10
the people, and have heard Pierce address
tho people in favor Of abolishing this 'lest;"
and any representation that he is opposed 10
striking out that test, or that he has not ex>
erled himself to have that test abolished,
must proceed either from profound igno.
rance, or malicious misrepresentation oi
the man, his character and course in rela-
tion 10 this test question.
