| CoURTING THE FREEsofLERs.-The New
York Evening Post, is exceedingly anxious to
bring into the support of Gen. Pierce its
Freesoil co-laborers, and seeks to make the
impression that Pierce is quite as good a
Freesoiler as itself. We Gull an extract:
"Mr. Pierce voted, when in Congress, to re-
spect the right of petition as exercised by the
abolitiOnists. In 1887, when after having
served his state in the House of Representa-.
tives, he had taken his seat as member of
the United States Senate, he voted to receive,
in the usual manner, a petition asking for the
abolition of Slavery in the District of Colum-
bia, and sustained his vote by his voice. He
took the same grounds with Mr.. Adams as to
the propriety of the abolition of slavery in
the District, but declared he "would give no
vote which might be construed into denial
OF the right of petition. That was a time
when the influence of slavery was in the as
cendant, when it was the fashion to toss back
such petitions with contempt in the FACES OF
those who presented them, and il repaired
some courage in the politician OF the demo-
cratic school to confront aud defy the impe-
rious demand of the South, that all memoir:
riyidly excluded from the notice of Congress.
The right to ask for the extinction of slavery
in the District of Columbia is not now ad-
mitted, but Franklin Pierce, whatsoever be
his opinions respecting the Compromise, was
one OF the earliest to assert it."
A correspondent of the same paper,
member of the Baltimore Convention, thus
rn,nmonts an fbo DI,f
'The resolutions We're passed under the
pressure Of the previous question, and were
scarcely heard by the convention. have
since had an opportunity of ofexamining them.
They were reported with almost entire unan-
unity by the committee, and are drawn with
more judgment and liberaity than anticipa-
ted, after the gross Outrage perpetrated upon
RantOul.
at was the desire of the South to have
no reference made to the Compromise in the
resolutions, but the barren declaration which
was made was purely a concession to the
northern members, who had no other poiti-
cal capital. The attempt to declare the Com
promise measures finality, or part of the
Constitution, Interchangeable and sacred, was
not countenanced by the Convention for a
moment"

shrewd lad Of sixteen years of age, who, to

occasionally speak rather lightly of Mr.. n

YES sud Mrs. IL, 'and il shows that

of the discourse, the old lady seized the
broom.

Aaron made tracks into the road, finishing

Still subsequently, he added to his "nega-
tive strength" by declining to serve his coun-
try in the capacity Of Attorney General, on
his appointment to that office by President
Polk.
We doubt if there is public man of any
note in the country, who has spoken, voted,
and fought to so little practical purpose.
In thus reviewing the career of General
Pierce, we do him no intentional injustice. -
We are merely developing and illustrating
the idea of his negative strength the
philosophy of which is that the man who has
done the least for his codntry, is the most
eminenty entitled to her honors and rewards.
We are not Of this opinion. We think that
little affirmative strength will be useful, if
not absolutely necessary, in commencing
General or Statesman to theconfidence and
consideration of his country. Therefore, it
is, that in another paragraph we have given
brirf record Of the affirmative claims Of Gen.
Scott 10 our mind it is q record Of more
interest than can be made up of the most
cnnHti oegatnns; and rs it carries its own
story with it, we have not thought it worth
while to embarrass the plain statement with
any commentary. The best commentary up
on it is written on the hearts of the Ameri-
can people and will be published some time
next fall. Signal

THE CALUMNY on WEBsTER.-Somc New
YORK Locofoco having heard an expcssion OF
dissatisfaction from Boston delegate, rushes
to the telegraph office and spreads the start
ling report that an Independent ticket headed
by Webster is to be brought forward, and
Tennessee men have pledged $5OO,OOO if
this is done. Humbug! Men vote in this
country not dollars; and hundreds of millions
would not give the electoral vote of single
State to a Wing candidate run in opposition
to the regular nominee.
The rumor is too silly even to be laughed
ut. Its author cannot be conversant with the
history of Daniel Webster, or he must know
tha, he would scorn the author of an imputa-
tion that he could array himself against the
deliberate and well considered action of his
party.
Daniel Webster boltcr from the Whig
ranks! whose whole life has been de-
voted to the advancement of Wing measures
and the honor Of his country. Three score
years and ten have witnessed no action which
e,sSxa blot upon the reputation of the great
"a S.r':.sasn of his age; and though his
LOOKS should be whitened by the SHOWS Of an
huidred winters, their 'sver gray" would be
marked by no dark stain Of dishonor.-

THE POST.
Athens, Friday, July l6, 1852.
WASHINGTON, July 5.

Congress again suspended business to-day,
in compliance with the usage which gives the
day to public rcjoicings Very little progress
was made in business last week.
The monster land bill is still before the
Committee on Public Lands, of the Senate,
and its fate is uncertain. That bill provides
for the distribution among the States, old
and new, of sixty.three millions of acres of
the public domain. The old States, however,
get but small share only 100000 acres for
each Senator or Representative. The guam
tity of public land thus to be taken for dis
trbution, is more than one half of the whole
quantity that has been, since the formation
of the Government disposed of by sale and
donation. The whole number of acres that
have been disposed of is one hundred and
one millions; the whole quantity remaining,
including acquisitions from Mexico, and lands
to which the Indian title has not been extin-
guished, is thirteen hundred millions Of acres.

eB Some of the papers state that there
isa movement on foot at the North for call
ing National Convention of Union Men,
without distinction Of party, for the purpose
of nominating Daniel Webster for the Presi-
dcncy. Mr.. Webster, according to the spe-
cial correspondent of the New York Herald,
has expressed his disapprobation of the
movement. He has seen too much, he says,
of political strife to permit his own imme-
diatc friends and others, who have been great
ly disappointed by the nomination OF the
Whiy National Convention, to make tool of
him at this late day.

with Irish fervor, and gave his reasons fol

u catholic an-catholic, in that his soul was
large enough to tolerate every form of hon

and cries of "surc, and aint we all going for

English government would, with character

that damnable Government, that, for every
Irishman shot an Englishman should bite the

saved my countrymen. And can forget the

LATER FROM MEXICO Advices from the
City Of Mexico up to the 18th ut., have been
received, from which it appears that the
Mexican Government will call an extra ses-
sion of Congress. After a sharp dispute
between the Government and the French
Minister, it was decided that two millions
and half of the Mexican indemnity should
be paid to the British Bondholders, and the
amount was to have left Mexico on the 18th
ult., for its destination.
