The Movements of the Abolitionists il
Favor of Pierce-Men of the South,
Attention!

Our readers may remember that we pub.
lished few days ago a remarkable speech
delivered by Col. Watson G.. Haynes, of
New York, in the Freesoil National Con-
vention at Pittsburgh, invoking the members
of that Convention to nominate Gen. Pierce
for the Presidency on the ground that all
the Abolition leaders in N. York who tho
roughly understood Piercs views, were in
favor of him, and on the ground that he was
the uncompromising foe ofthe institution of
slavery, and of the Roman Catholic religion.
Some of the Democratic papers of the South
affected to believe that Col. Haynes made
this speech with the secret design of iniu-
ring Gen. Pierce, but newspapers in New
York bore testimony that he was genuine
Locofoco, warmly enlisted in Perce's sup
port.
1t now appears that the Pierce men of
Orange county, New York, were so much
delighted with Colonel Haynes Pittsburgh
speech in favor of their nominee, that they
recently invited him to addressed public
meeting in their own county. We copy the
following brief account of the invitation and
the speech from the Frankfort Common
wealth, as we have not room for the whole
speech or for further particulars. Every
man of the committee of arrangements, that
invited Col. Haynes TO speak at Fort Mont
gomery, is violent Democrat and supper
ter Of Pierce, and the meeting which Col.
Haynes addressed was exclusively Demo-
cratic meeting.
Now read this, all We Southern Pierce
men, read it, all we Roman Catholic Pierce
men, and see with what kind of allies We
are co-operaing with for the election of that
New Hampshire Yankee:
On Saturday, the 25th of September, Gas
we learn by the correspondence of the New
York Express,) there was Democratic
meeting held at Fort Montgomery, Orange
county, New York, pursuant to the call, is
sued a week before.
This Col. Haynes is the same man who
was member of the Freesoil Convention
lately held in Pittsburgh, and who there
made speech urging all the Freesollers to
support Gen. Pierce.
Col. Haynes addressed the meeting assem-
bled under the above call. We have room,
to-day, only for a few extracts from his
speech. We quote as follows:
"We differ with Gen. Scott and his par
ty on important principles. In the first
place, he was born and educated in the
South, in the atmosphere of slavery. Mel
ther has he at any time expressed himself
directly or indirectly opposed to the institu-
ton of slavery; pending the passage of the
Fugitive Slave Law he was acting as Sec
retary of War, and gave his influence in IA
vor of that most infamous measure. It must
also be fresh i'll the memories of most of YOU,
that he co-operated with the exploded
Union Safely Committee.

81 now turn TO Gen. Pierce, your candi-
date and mine, and take a look at his prin-
ciples. He was born and reared in free
State, and educated in the true doctrine OF
freedom; neither was he ever fondled or
nursed by slave woman. Deeply imbued
with the principles of liberty, he has boldly
and emphatically said that he 'abhorred and
loathed slavery" When the Southern
Rights party Intercepted both the Presi.
dental candidates, Gen. Scott replied, but
Gen. Pierce treated them with silent con,
tempt. Franklin Pierce has the honor Of
belonging to State which can boast of hav.
ing sent to the United States Senate that in.
dcmitable champion of human rights, Johr
P. Hale.
SIN reply to pereon who asked the
speaker whether he was in favor of the Bal
timore Platform, he said: 81 execrate tha
platform; platforms do not amount tt
anything; and | can tell you, sir, tina
if you live two years from this tim,
You will find the truth Of what / saw
Do you suppose said he, shat
F., would vote for any man likely to carry ou
! the principles of that platform?' Franklin
Pierce will not carry out those principles
VIII those now address carry out thos,
principles Will the northern Democrac,
execute the Fugitive Slave Law? (Crie
of never, never,) Will you vote for maj
in favor of that measure? (No no.) d.
| you wish 10 have that law repealed? Eyes
yes.) THE speaker here gave an elaborat
description Of the "horrors of slavery" an,
. worked considerably on the imaginations O
his hearers. A Wing now demanded to re
flute some arguments of the speaker, bu
was ruled 'out of ordcr.'l Gentlemen, III,
