To Hon. JoHE IL WHTE Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Below we publish a letter from Hon John P. Hale,
denying generally lhe truth of certain statements OF re-
ported dialogue between the Hon Mr.. Wise and MI.
Map, the whig elecor the Aeconac district OF Virginia
We copied the article from the Baltimore Argus, which
gave the OF the dialogue in question upon the
authority of gentleman from Somerset county, In Mary
land who represented having been present at the
meeting. We do not understand from the s,aalement OF
Mr.. Map that General Pierce present at the time
at which Mr. Hale is reported having made the re.
mark attributed 10 him. But when il came 10 the ears Of
General Pierce, he. doubtless, might have replied that
" if Hale should head army TO march on the South
he would have 10 march his dead body"
OF course it is not intended 10 refer the transaction TO
what occurred at public discussion in ls45 Nor are
disposed question the statement made by Mr. Hale
in his letter. We have heard, however of The scorch-
ing invecve of General Pierce that OCCASION when
replying Hae's criticism upon military opinion Of
General Jackson. e
II is the fashion of the northern aboilioniss boast
OF the numerical superiority of the North whenever
collision is predicted likely result from sectional
agitation or actual disunion. With reference TO this
point. General Pierce, in his Manchester speech, made
the following bold and eloquent remarks
| ..If we are preoipitated ino by ianaicsm, we
cannot conquer Both sections of the country may be
immolaed Neither could of the short OF
ruin. 1t said that OF the North could bring two

Tie who makes that boast would not be one
OF the two who go fonh the one

| To the Editor of The Ua,oa:
SIR In The Washington Union of the 5th instant. un.
der the head Meeting in Accomac, rgna.-ThrilIing
Dialogue" conversation is said 10 have occurred be.
tween Mr. Wise and Mr.. Map at public meeting, in
which " The following thrilling dialogue took place.
/ Mr.. Wise, Z" Were you in New Hampshire two years
sseech thar he would head army mach upon The
South and put down slavery ="
Mr Map 81 was there heard Mr.. Hale speak, and
Ws sp sos ses head EsoAn rss spg
the South he had first 70 march over his eros! dead
The account then proceeds You can imagine The
feeling which this reply elected. The courthouse rang
with shouts of APPLAUSE repeated again and again. Mr.
Wise then requested his opponent 10 state the facts again
which be did to almost breathless auditory: Gen
Pierce did say, (sappng his hand upon his breast tina
Hale would have to pass his dead body before he
, marched upon the South'"
To this permit briefly to reply, that for whatever
purpose such dialogue may have been spoken in Vr
gnia courthouse, there is not syllable Of truth in The
whole of it. No such remark made by me, and
OF course, such answer by Gen. Pierce; was
there meeting holden 10 New Hampshire, elsewhere
in which such dialogue could have occurred General
Pierce and myself have not spoken at the public
meeting since 1910, when we both spoke the same
side, but once, and that at the North Church. in
, Concord. New Hampshire, in June, ls45; and | am
sure thai of the thousands who attended that meeting
not one can be found who will pretend that anything o
the kind took place al that time. That however, has
nothing do with the statement the remarks related
. by Mr. Map made al ameetng holden two years
since. Respectfully, yours,
i JOHN p. HALE.
Il P.S.-Any one who doubts the correctness OF my
statement be satisfied by applying TO Mr. Pierce
himself. J. p. II.
