The New Boston Conspiracy Confessed.

The two articles Of the Republic in its issues OF Saur-
day and Monday, in reference to General Pierces recent
letter. pronouncing the pretended Foss report Of his
speech at New Boston an absurd calumny, amount we
think, to virtual confession by the Republic that with
full knowledge OF what it DOING it joined heartily
in whig and abolitonist conspiracy sandsr an nno-
cent man.
The Republic admits the "frankness" of General
Perces disclaimer of the words imputed to him by Foss
and also admits that his pesonal character gives credit
to his disclaimer. But in the face OF these admissions
and OF the published testimony of the meeting itself the
Republic persists in its charge, upon other authority
than the pretended report OF aboonst, who is ad.
mitted 10 know nothing about reporting Plainly, this is
the conduct Of conspator who longer expects to be
able to deny his conspiracy
OF piece with this and tending in the same manner
to confession Of the conspiracy is the petlfoggng effort
of the Republic to shift the issues in the case rely upon
the resolutions heretofore adopted by New Hampshire
democrats with which General Pierce's name is no way
connected and to make capital OF the circumstances
under which General Pierces letter comes before the
public. All this has nothing to do with the question:
and we do not propose TO discuss it.
We simply ask the attention of the country to the facts
that the leading whg organs and the whg leaders have
gotten up entered into conspiracy falsely to attribute
abohonst eanings to General Pierce; that the consp
acy has been exposed and exploded by the highest evil
dence and that, in the face OF admissions which brand
its wanton SANDER the central whg organ
persists its conspiracy and seeks 10 shield itself only
by weak attempt now to introduce into the question
side issues which have plainly no connexion with it,
That such tactics must sink the whig party to a lower
deep Of abasement than has yet reached in South
ern estimation, is manifest But that is not the main
point the is at ts North that the reco OF this
severely felt for it is at the North that the wisdom pa
riotsm moderation, and courage OF Gen Perces course
upon the sectional questions have been closely OBJ
served and most deeply felt To the demand for peace
between the two sections which is capital want OF
the northern public mind-a attesied alike by the
avowed principles OF the democrats and the constrained
professions OF the Wing Conysntion-Gen. Pierce's re-
corded position and his whole political course are known
emphatically to respond Himself northern man
born and bred in community from which slavery has
passed away, and where wishes TO restore it
General Pierce has yet always recognised the constitu
lion OF his country his sole political guide upon the
sectional issues, upon all other issues and has boldly
and feaessy rampled under foot that "higher- law"
madness which begins by prostraing the authority OF
the constitutional covenant, and is welding by
gross breach Of faith OF the great party organizations
OF the country to precipale federal Union into
other perilous crisis OF sectional agitation.
