Robinson and some Of lhe Whig Press

aAVwAMSVM 0Mu oVMO- va SMU UuAS ttCSSs
RoBlNsoN's late onsa,um gatherum of
filth and, falsehood against General PIERCE
and his deceased revolutionary father, is
calling down rebuke even from the more
sensible and decent part Of the whig press.
The New York Day Book, for one
says:
"W. E. Robinson. Greeley's man Fri
day who can prove any thing he under
takes, last evening tried to show that Gen.
Pierce has resisted the retnoTal OF the Cath.
olic clause in the new Hampshire Constitu-
tiou. He made him answer not only for
the acts of his ancestors, but his whole par.
ty. Now all attacks Of this kind will only
result to the advantage of Gen. Pierce.
The object Mr.. Robinson has in attacking
him is too barefaced and apparent; all can
see that it is merely for the purpose Of Sc
curing the Co.holic vote for Gen. Scott.
The man who undertake to benefit himself
by pulling down his neighbor will generally
find that the result will be exactly opposite
to bis endeavors. Il Mr.. Robinson contin-
ues the career which he has commenced,
through the whole Presidential canvass, he
will acquire anything but an enviable noto.
Tiety."
The Courier & Enquirer has also ad-
ministered similar aagellation upon the
speech of ROBINSON. and the Tribune and
the Times, for giving him their eountenance.
So have the Herald, and the Journal Of
Commerce.
The Connaercial Advertiser, the Oldest
whig paper in New York City speaking of
the same thing, says such course Of cam
vassing against PiERcE is s'calculated to
do the aOhigs no good, to say the least Of
