So much for Two gross misrepresentation OF the Wing
The argument Of that paper that Cen Pierce Is responsible
for he unsound declarations the Democratic party of his
State is answered Silh equal Wh papers have pub
shcd the resolutions OF New Hampshire Democratic Con-
venton opposing the extension Of slavery and have charg
ed that Gen. Pierce was member OF that CohVehhon.-
The New Hampshire Patriot positively denies the statement
and asserts uncondnonaly ,ha, Cen Pierce nds not a
member of that Conrention which adopted the Nmot FRO
vso resolutions. Again, "a 10 the offensive Ne" ha'hP
shire resolutions which returned by the Virginia c-
psature il is well known that Franklin Pierce openly ana
publicly denounced them. In word me evidence IS ihou

been proclaimed by leading Scott and abolition papers inc
