Two National whsx Doc.ment..


An incident occurred in this city. few days ago,
which is interesting. showing the difference between
the two grea. parties in the present contest distin,
guished southern representative in Congress- who was
subscriber TO the Rspue called at the Office OF that pa
per to pay bis subscription for il before leaving Wash
ngion at the close Of the session. Having heard that
various documents showing Pierce TO be identified with
the foes Of the South had been published at the Republic
ofhce he asked the clerk for few copies. The clerk
replied that the edition had Just been exhausted,
but that IN a day or two they would have fresh sup
ply The Iennesseean then requested that fifty should
be sent him TO his post office, and offered pay for them
but the clerk hestalngly excused himself and declined
sending them AS the same member OF Congress was
speaking oft afterwards among several gentlemen one OF
those present said he would assume TO change his poll
tics Tor ten minutes (after Truman Smiths example, but
not with his obect) and try what be could do; and he
forthwith started for the whg committee room, and
came back in short time with lot Of whig documents
wet from the press. Such is the care that our political
opponenisae compelled to observe lest their tricks should
be exposed. How diderent il is with the Democratic
National Committee How wisely and how widely differ
ent Every document which they circulate they are
willing to avow. They have nothing TO conceal They
challenge investigation. They defy scrutiny Not a
word have they written. printed or published, which
they are not ready to before the whole county
The most recent instance OF whg Inconsistency and eck
lessness is the following:

the Catholics, but attempts to hold the democratic party
responsible for opposition to the adopted citizen. We

We need not give his shameful and shameless accu-
sations against Pierce, but quote what Mr. Greeley him
sell says in his pamphlet being circulated side by
side with the vile calumny Of Robinson. No matter how
he states his proposition he cannot wholly
avoid the truth even while he forges the rebuke he ad
ministers TO his pupil and his agent:

There are other documents issued by the Wing Ma
tional Committee, from which other strong and more
striking contrasts may be taken.
