| Messrs Edtors:-An article is published in the
Herald of July 18th, entitled /" Gen. Pierce and
the Fugitive Slave Law which demands to be pla-
ced in its true light instead of being suffered to pass
in false and tortured acceptation to the eyes of
community whose institutions have never had
more powerful supporter, either North or South
than Cen Franklin Pierce The Herald says " We
give the following extracts from Democratic papers"
This deny and assert that any has but to read
one of the papers mentioned to see how widely they
differ from papers advocating Democratic principles.
They are both Free Soil papers-the former being
the special organ of John P Hale and the most bit
ter opponent of Gen. Perce-a paper which, from
the whole tenor of its course, thinks it can perform
no greater service to the Free Soil party, than to
circulate the most unfounded falsehoods against Gen.
Pierce The latter was the particular organ of Rev.
John Atwood in that campaign, in which Gen. P,
with the sterling Democrats of New Hampshire,
serted that Free Soi1ism and Democracy have af-
fnity and can never combine together, long as
there are strong minds and bold hearts in the DEM
ocratc ranks to repel the odous principles of 'high
err law fanatcisnl.
1t is not necessary to say for the refutation
of the article refer to. than to inform the COM
munity of the authority from which it emanates-
authority which renders the idea of its truth su-
premely ridiculous,
We advise the Herald, when it quotes Democratic
authority in future, not to quote authority which,
by bargain and sale, placed Wing Governor in the
Gubernatoria chair, the expense of John p Hale,
in the Senate; for we doubt very much whether it
will be received as law and gospel by intelligent
thinking men of either party.

acter of the papers quoted as authorities against
General PIERCE, and his statements may be impli-
city relied on. We rather think the Roorback.

by the Wing papers South, is, by this time pretty
essentially exploded.
