The New Boston speech.


. Public sentiment is evidently settling down into
the belief that Gen. PIERCE did deliver that speech
at New Boston, notwithstanding the long list Of
names produced by his partizanS to prove the con-
testimony shall be weighed, and in this case the pre-
ponderance decidedly nfavorofthe truthfulness of
the report. The Rev. Mr.. Foss makes oath that
he took down the words as they fell from General
PIgRcE's lips, others corroborate his testimony,
and all the circumstances Of the occasion establish
the probability of Gen. PIERCE having uttered just
such sentiments. The report was not publicly
contradicted ut the time, and consequently it is fair
" inierable that he did not consider himself mjt
riouyIy misrepresented. He was at least willing
for the people of New Hampshire TO believe that
he used the language attributed to him by the re-
porters-Those were his 'home views" and al
though New Hampshire was the very place where
the expression of them was calculated to do harm,
by further exciting popular prejudice against sia-
very, the report was permitted to pass as true, so
lone as it was confined to that State. But now
Gen. PIERCE is a candidate before the people of
the whole country, and his friends are very sensi
tive about the matter. Any number ofthem, doubt
less, could be procured to deny the report in gen
eral terms Mr.. Foss' evidence is positive and
specific, and was reduced to writing at time when
he had no motive to misrepresent; the evidence OF
the witnesses on the other side is negative and
general, and they have very strong motive to
testify as they do.
The Washington Union asserts that Gen. PIERCE
himself has written letters contradicting the report.
No document can be relied upon before jury,
however, that is not introduced in court, and the
public cannot decide upon the merits of these let
tiers until they are published

Influenza and Consumption.

1t is indeed, a melancholy truth. that thousands
fall victims to consumption every year from no 9th .
er cause than neglected colds; yet we find hun

with the greatest Indifference, and let thhh. riff
on for weeks and even months, without thinking
of the danger. At first, you have what you cbh-
slider slight cough or cold you allow business,
pleasure or carelessness to prevent you from CIV
ing 1t any attention; it then settles upon your
breast, you become hoarse, have pains in the side
or chest, expectorate large quantities of NATTER
perhaps mixed with blood difficulty of breath
ing ensues, and then you find your own foolish
neglect has brought on this complaint IF, then;
you value your life or health, be warned in time !;
and don't trife with your cold, or trust to any
quack nostrum to cure you but Immediately pio-
cure a bottle or two of that famous remedy, Dr.:
WI5TAR'S BALSAM OF WILD CHERRY,
which is well known to be the most speedy cure
ever known, as thousands will testify, whose lives
have been saved by it.
For influenza it is the very best medicine in the
world.

American Skill.

America, during the nineteenth century, h os
produced more remarkable dscovs ries than all the
other nations of the world combined. In chemis-
try, the most celebrated and sklful chemists, the

cient or modern times, have not produced such..an
extraordinary remedy as Railways Ready Relief,
which stops the most severe pains in a few sec
ouds and cures the cause quickly. Railway s Co.
are the first and only chemists in the universe that
have succeeded in giving to the world, remedy
possessing such quick and marvellous virtues. In
every instance, no matter how severe the pain may
be, Railways Ready Relief will, in few min
utes relieve the most painful raroxysm. 1t has
cured Rheumatism, Neuralgia. Toothachr. Diar-
rhna, Stiff Joints. Sick and Nervous Headache,
in from fifteen minutes to four hours. Let those
who suffer try it, 1t will surely cure you-you
will find instant relief from pain. Price 50 and

National Union Convention.

This body, called by nobody knows whom, and
attended by selfappointed delegates, appears real
ly to have met in Philadelp hia and gone through
the farce ofnominating Presidential candidates.
It's proceedings are given in the Philadelphia pa
pers of the Sd inst. 1t appears from the balOtings
for candidate for the Vice Presidency, that the
total number of votes cast was s.. Mr.. WEE
sTER was unanimously nominated for the Presiden-
cy and the following gentlemen received votes f0l
the second office: Cobb, Foote, jenkins, Kcne-

vention, and Mr. S. j. CALDELEUGH, of Vir-
gna, was one of the Vice Presidents. The Phil.
adelphia Ledger of the 3rd says

vention being about to commence its arduous Ia
bors we instituted search for three mortal hours
to find it, but all such efforts Were vain, poltici

As.o,,,er lsecusast Wi,ig!

Democrats are greatly delighted when they hear
of Wings refusing to support Gen. ScorT, although
in their eagerness to publish every case reported,
they have magnifed the number far beyond the
truth. There is no doubt, however, that some in
stances of rocusancy have occurred, and we are
now under the painful necessity OF announcing one
well authenticated case, which our Southern Dem
ocratie contemporaries can publish without fear Of
contradiction. We commend this case to theil
particular attention, and venture to express the hope
hone that theywill publish forthwith, together with
the statement that DAVID WILIor. the author Of
the Prociso,) in recent speech at Coudersfoft
PENNSYLVANIA, announced that he should support

| A Wing meeting was held in the Court house
in this place, on Saturday night last, to organize

prepared by committee previously appointed for
the purpose, was reported to the meeting, and at

the day. The committee returned with the Pres

about an hour. When Mr.. MANLY concluded,
Mr.. REED, who was soldier under Genenai
Scorr from Vera Cruz to the City of Mexico,

sonal character, and the affection felt for him by
his men. A resolution, offered by Col. BALDWIN.

The Tariff.

we lnvlte the attention of our readers to the ar
ticle published on the fourth pare of this paper,
headed "Meagher on Free Trade" requesting
them to bear in mind at the same time that the
socallcd Democracy is the free trade party in the
United States, and that the London Times, the
leading organ of British public opinion, says, Seen
cred Pierce has oar best ,cishes for his success"-
OF course the British wish to see our Government
in the hands of freetraders, thatthey may grow fat
off the lte's blood of the country and reduce US to
tho condition of unhappy Ireland.
In this connection, We give also some extracts
from remarks recently msdeb by Commodore STocK-
TON, of New jersey, in the United States Senate.
Mr. ). still calls himself "Democrat," but has not
yet declared in favor Of the party nominees. We
ltallclse few lines which express the sound Wing
doctrine on the subject. Senator STOCKTON said
With regard to the tariff, must be permitted
to say that regard it of more consequence to my
constituents than any other bill which has been,
during the session, or is now pending before Con-
gress. The tarif-ay, sir, the tariff-the mere
mention OF which startles gentlemen from their
propnety, and drives them headlong into the ques-
ton of the dissolution of the Union have 10 tell
such gentlemen, let them come from where
they will, or represent whom they may, that
there are two sides to the question of the ia
riff and, Democrat as am. intent that, on all
proper occasions, my voice shall be raised in the
Senate and out of the Senate in behalf of the poor
laborer of the North; and he who represents the
slave labor of the South may raise his voice as po-
tential as he sees fit, he will not alarm, hut find
me prepared, to the best of my poor ability, to de-
fend the interest of the free labor of the North.
But, sir, do not misunderstood me. Irepuoiate

er the interests Of fragments, Int Of The ,chote pco-

seek for some sound, acetl-seHled principle upon
achich TO rebuild this theory Of tariff:

which allude, is not for protection of manufactu-

but IL is intended TO protect millions Of or telO,c

o,cn hands. can tell the Senator from South
Carolina that their interests are not much longer
to be disregarded Sir, this government may sur
vive the effects of the most disastrous battles; we

Valley Star announces that Robert Doyle, Esq,
the Whio assistant elector for Rockbrldge county,
has thrown up his commission, with the declara-
ton that from that day he renounced federalism
forever. and would hereafter cast his lot with the

In Augusta and Rockbridge many of the ablest
and most influential wings have repudlated the
Scott ticket, and have come out for Pierce.
Weeks ago, the statement in regard to MIR.
DOYLE was contradicted by the Lexington Ga
-ette This denial was copied by various Wing
pauers and, if we mistake not, by some OF the pa
pers of Richmond, Immediately under the eyes OF
the ENQUIRER, and yet we find it still reiterated.
The assertion of the Enquirer, (for it is dis
tipct and positive assertion that 'many of the a.
blest and most influential Wings of Augusta have
repudiated the SCOTT ticket, and have come out
for PIERCE is equally destitute of foundation in
fact. There are but two or three Wings In the
entire County, who are considered doubtful, and
not one has come out for PIERCE. VIII the mis-
