From the Washington Union
Inc Wing and Abolition Conspiracy against
General Pierce fully exposed.

10 the end that the Republic may see the
dlscreditable predicament ia which Il has
placed itself and its party, by sending forth
with Its endorsement the ISLANDERS Of the two
principal abolition journals Of New Hamp-
shire against Gen. Pierce, we call its atten-
ton to the following correspondence. Three
days ago the Republic, satisfied with its wit
nesses, and in defiance Of our contradiction
and made on the authority Of most respecta-
bic men who personally knesc of the matter,
crested" its case. We desire to know if the
Repnbtic will ''rest" any longer
WASHINGTON, July 10, 1852.
To The Editor of the Union:
DEAR SIR: Herewith we transmit let.
ter from B. F. Aver, esq.,, Of Manchester,
New Hampshire, and an extract of one from
j. NJ. Campbell, esq, of the same place, in
relation to speech made by Gen. Pierce al
New Boston, New Hampshire, in December
last; pretended reports of which, copied from
two abolition prints in New Hampshire
have appeared in the Republic, and been re
published in other wing papers.
Messrs. Aver and Campbell were boil
present at the meeting in question They
are gentlemen of intelligence and of the high
est responsibility, whose statements requir,
no endorsement wherever they are known
Mr. Aver was one of the speakers at tina
meeting, and, as we are advised, took note
of Gen. Pierce's remarks at the time
You are at liberty to make such use o
these letters as you think proper 1t will b.
seen that they fully and pointedly contra
dict the abolition version of Gen. Pierce
remarks. Any number of similar certif
! Gates, from the most reliable persons presen
on that occasion, as we are informed, cal
and will be furnished, if necessary.
The papers from which the reports refer
red to were taken are organs of the abolition
faction in New Hampshire They are know
to us to be now, and to have long been, q
. vowedly and bitterly opposed to the princi
pies and organization OF the democratic pal
ty generally, and particularly vindictive an
p. mendacious in regard to Gen. Pierce, BIZ
r fore and since his nomination at Baltimore
Their character is such as to render any col
tradiction of the unfounded statements a
unnecessary labor wherever their reputatio
is known.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant

More Wing Testimony.

The following article, from the New York
Mirror, shows how the wing party manages its
preliminary organization:
"CHEATING POLITICIANS. The election of
delegates to the National Convention in this
State has been ridiculous farce from begin
ming to end. Men, or rather bullies, hired by
the wire-pullers, have thrown in votes by the
handful, and voted dozen times over at that.
The delegates elect will not represent the peo-
pie; and the nomination at Baltimore will be
ouly another act in the farce. The movements
in this city, so fw as we have observed them,
are simply disgusting. The national wings
would be justified, under the circumstances, in
calling State convention, appointing thirty
six delegates to Baltimore, demanding their
admission; and in case of refusal, adourning
10 meet in national convention, without dis
tinclion of party, TO nominate a Union ticket.
The above is proof conclusive that the Mir
ror. and those wings for whom it speaks are
sick of the wing party. 1t comes in aid the

The DEPARTURE OF JENNY LIND GOLD

abonnd in notices of Madame Goldschmdt's
departure for home. She left on Saturday
noon, in the steamer Atlantic, for Liverpool,
followed by the regrets and good wishes of
thousands. Never, probably did public sin
ger gather around her so many friendly and
kindly feelings, as well as feelings Of admira-
ton, as did Jenny Lind and never did an ar
tiste in this country at least, receive so rich a
pecuniary reward for services rendered.
On Friday night, or rather Saturday morn
ing, Madame Goldscmidt was serenaded for ar
hour at her lodgings at Delmonico's, by the
Philharmonic and Germania Societies, anG
Dodworth's Band, who were attended by 3O(
fremen in uniform, bearing torches. The

in that capacity, but for his appointment to the
office of County attorney, and subsequent re-
moval to Paris, the duties of which Office he
discharged to the entire satisfaction of the pub
lic He was Subsequently elected Clerk Of the
Courts, which Office ne now holds. OF the
manner in which he has discharged the duties
of Clerk Of the Courts, bar and people, all
speak in deserved praise. 49, c
These things, we trust, need not be said to
ensure large and united vote in the County,
where Mr.. Kimbal is we'll known. Our Lin
coin friends may rest assured thatin him they
have a candidate in whose hands the honor and
interests of the whole District will be safe.-
They know as,well as we, that the wings will
not permit this election 10 go by default. They
know, better than we, the means that may be
resorted to, and the grounds of hope that may
be relied on, 10 defeat us. The Oxford towns,
we hope and believe, will do their whole duty
in this matter, and if the democracy Of Lincoln
will do theirs, and they know how TO do the
handsome thing when they try, we have no ap-
prehensions as TO the result. 1t will be seen,
however, that The time for organization and ac-
tion is short. And now, inasmuch as Oxford
and Lincoln. are about parting the relations
which have subsisted between them for the last
ten years, shall there not be generous rivalry
among all our friends in competing for the
honors due those who accomplish most in a
good cause.', oa .et suf Dor sfH'5'
i In this connection, we copy the following
from the Norway Advertiser =. f,sg s5s.
g The well know 6rmness and ability of Mr..
Kimball, the uniformity of his character as a
republican of the National Democratic school,
The fact that he has filled many important Off
ces of trust to the entire satisfaction of the peo-
pie, is a sufficient guarantee that he will con-
tinue 10 be true to their interests. He is too
well known, both in this County and Lincoln,
to need chapter of fulsome praise from our
pen. We feel assured that every democrat in
this district will feel il duty he owes to his
party to rally to the polls on the seventh Of
June, and elect him by triumphant MAORI
ty. Let this election be ominous of success
to the Democratic party in the September

Escape of Meagher.

Thomas Francis Meagher, the distinguished
Irish exile and patriot. was sercnaded by his
friends on Friday evening, at his temporary
residence in Brooklyn. Several military COM
panies were in attendance, and in response to
the welcome of his friends he made few brief
remarks. For obvious reasons, but few Of the
details of Mr.. Meagher's escape have been made
following, which is taken from the Courier and
Enquirer:
"In common with his associates in exile,
he enjoyed what is termed 'parol of honor,
or in other words, he was permitted TO move
at will within given circle, by promising
not to go beyond it. For some time pre-
vous to February last, arrangements were
in progress by which, if successful, the ex-
lies, nine in number, were to be taken from
Van DiemaE's Land and brought 10 our
shores. In January the arrangements were
completed, when it was found that in conse-
quence of their residing so far apart (some
ten miles) it would be impraclicabIe TO get
them all off at one lime, and their friends,
though reluctantly, were obliged to con6ne
their operations TO effecting the escape Of
Mr.. Meagber, as his position gave the surest
prospects Of success. Everything being in
readiness, early in February Mr.. Meagher
sent his 'parol Of honor to the magistrate,
with the promise that he would consider
himself bound by it for two hours after its
delivery, and no longer. On receiving it,
the magistrate gave immediate orders to The
constable in Boutwell,, (where Mr.. iMeagher
resided) 10 arrest him without delay. This
/ the constable refused TO do, stating that he
was himself an Irishman, and would do moth
ing TO hinder Meagher's escape. This placed
the magistrate in position somewhat I'M
| pleasant, as there was not another officer
within twenty four miles. He however,
mounted horse and proceeded to the nearest
point for the purpose Of bringing back an Of
6cer to take charge Of Meagber, whe waited
until the promised time had expired, after
which he took horse and proceeded in an
opposite direction, in which course he is
said TO have travelled as fast as his horse
could carry him, for over one hundred miles
or 10 the point where his friends had another
conveyance in waiting. After reaching Per-
namhuco, he is SAID have been taken on
board the brig Acorn on the 22d of April, and
by her brought 10 this port" H.
Mr.. Meagher is about 20 years of age and is
quite corpulent. His father is estimated to
be worth 100000, and there are but three
children. 1t is expected that public recep-
ton will be given him tomorrow, in New
York. bio -..T t1-77.- as75 u1l..if .siE
