letter, he regards the triumph just achieved IN ms
own State where abolitionsm was debated, as 1.-THE
triumph of right over wrOng-of the democracy
single handed over all factions and combinations
OF FIDELITY TO THE CONSTITUTION AND THE UNION
OVER VIRTUAL TREASON TO BOTH" ..
The Wilmington Herald of Saturday last
parades with evident satisfaction, the affidavit OF
one A. T. Foss a man who has been Baptist preach
err but is not so now but a ranting and hypocrit
cal abolitionist to the effect that he, Foss made
true report Of the speech of Gen. Pierce at New
Boston, just though man who would cooy, de-
liberately, and malicousy give currency and publ
cation to alsehood, would have any scruples about
swearing to it. And the Herald furthermore adds
certificate from AMOS Tuck and Jared Perkins,
members of Congress from New Hampshire, bearing
testimony the character of Goodale the Free Soil
Editor Of the Manchester Democrat-the right hand
of the Editors of the Herald, Observer, etc By
the way, Amos Tuck is precisely on par with John
P. Hale-only not so good fellow. Jared Perkins
is Wing, and voted against the Fugitive Slave
| Law
| These men-Tuck and Perkins-say that they
e believe Goodac has fair reputation, wher-
ever he is known" To show how we'll this
reputation is founded-so far at least as truth
is concerned and at the time put to rest mis-
cradle clamor, which has been dinned into ears
with the perlinacity of parrot CALL let look at
one of his statements in letter to q gentleman of
~. ~ l;Sho Nv
the Raleigh Register. and the other North Carolina
allies and vouchers of this notorious Free Soer and
abotionist. He (Goodale) says:
'sYou may rely with the utmost confidence the
entire accuracy of the report of Gen Perces speech
at New Boston. IL not denied either publicly on
Iprirutety.'
In letter published by the Washington Republic
of the Goth, Goodae says:
THE accuracy of the report not denied by
single paper until the recent manifesto of the Wash
ington Union.
Now here, says the Washington Union, in the
teeth of Goodae and his certified yeracity and the
men who certify it. is the language of the Union De-
mocrat, published in Manchester, N H. of Janu-
airy 18th, l852,-the first issue of that paper after
the report had appeared. The Union copies from
the Union Democrat of that date then before it:
He repeated what Mr. Aver had stated before, that
made ,cas IN no particular different from the Lau of 1893
under which we had lived nearly sixty years
| The above is an extract from the New Boston
correspondence OF the Abolition Democrat, giving an
account of the speech of General Pierce in that town
on the Sd inst. General Pierce said no such thing
He did say that the law of 1850 contained no provis-
ions which not imbodied in the law of '93 and
in the laaO and he repeated it two or three
times in the same words so that he acas fully u1-
derstood by everybody except this correspondent.
Elder Foss alias { Voice., did inquire why it was
peeesary to pass the present law. General Pierce
replied for the very good reason, that the old law
had been declared unconstitutional inasmuch as it
required service of State officers which they were
not bound to perform. 4 Voice was heard very
frequently during the meeting, but apprehend it
will not very soon trouble General Pierce again.
II is equally untrue that the General used any
such language aScri6ed to ham the Independent
Democrat"
Where is Goodale's boasted and certified We
racty !-what becomes of the repeated assertion
that the accuracy of the report not contradict
ed at the time What in fact, becomes of the whole
conspiracy against Gen. Pierce?
The Washington Union bears still further and
it possible more conclusive testimony and its far
Their remarks are perth ent that we adopt them
rs our own. The Union says: 1.-THE original man
uscrpt of the document containing the original sig
natures has been placed in possession, and it
must be regarded the direct testimony of tie meet
ing itself as to the speech of General Pierce But this
is not all nor the most. We sdte a matter of
our personal knowledge, that Gen. Pierce,
his signature hos repeatedly denounced the report
in question: Of his speech at Neu Boston, grossly
alse-as tissue Of alsehoodS, aud complete and to-
tel Misrepresentation of hat he then SAID. This pre-
cudes the necessity of any further testimony on the
subject and if We allude to the matter again, it
will be not to yindcate General Pierce from charge
senseless in itself as it is utterly exploded by the
evidence, but rather to hold up to the Just indgna
ton of the country the foul conspiracy which the
I whig leaders and organs have made part of their
partisan warfare, not only upon General Pierce, but
upon the right of the people TO know his true posi-
ton"
! We ask our Federal contemporaries, if they have
one spark of generosity, the least desire to do
justice 10 come out like men and acknowledge that
this has been base and contemplate attempt at
fraud and that they like others, have been decev-
ed Let Them if on no other account. yet for their
sakes, make this amende lest they be placed in the
same category with the miserable authors of this
most miserable cheat.
