The Republic and its Conspiracy OF SANDER
against General Pierce.
We are quite AS sensible the Republic that in conro
versy nothing is TO be gained by vuperatiye language
But when vile and false testimony collected or subon
ed for partisan purpose TO mpeach an innocent man.
and when such testimony is sent forth TO the world with
the endorsement OF journals claiming be respectable
we know other way of doing duty journalists
than let readers know that such is the fact and
that the fact is Infamous.
The course of the Republic forces us most unwngly
regard deeply implicated in the conspiracy of the
abolilonist enemies of General Pierce in New Hamp
shire-the whom be has, time and again, de-
fea,ed and cowed dowR--now TO defame him by a
most ruthless and foul attempt to fix upon him the
brand of their opinions, upon which, upon the men
who hold them, he has always made open war; Par
ticpaon in such conspiracy certainly involves fear
full responsibility but that is matter which the Repub
tc and the leaders OF the party for which it speaks
settle with the people, IN virtual violation OF whose right
of intelligent suffrage upon the most momenious OF all
issues the outrage is perpetTated.
The Republic of yesterday brings forward some
matter in pursuance OF this conspiracy and introduces il
by some statements which are not true 1t is not true,
the Republic alleges, that the New York Evening Post
has given "u credence" 10 the allegation that General
Pierce used the language falsely imputed TO him On the
contrary that journal, while approving the language,
specifically asks for better Evidence that General Pierce
used it,
Ii is not true, the Republic alleges, that the political
records of New Hampshire "show ,ha, the democrats
proper OF tina, State have for years held the Ian
guage which is ascrbed TO General Pierce" On the con-
tary, those records cited by the Republic ITSELF are
all of period antecedent to the Compromise do moi,
relate TO any OF the compromise speak such
language is falsely attributed to General Pierce, and
fac, do not include his at ALL in any way define
his position, the slavery questions, either before the
adoption of The Compromise since. With all tina, rec
ord as cited BY the Republic General Pierce has nothing
to do
The Republics matter thus introduced by untrue
statements, consists of affidavit and two letters. The
affidavit is by Andrew T. Foss who has quilted preach
ing to take Up politics in the form of the mos, rabid and
phrensied aboltonism. He that be reported Gen.
eral Pierce's remarks the New Boston meeting for
Goodale the editor of the Manchester abolition paper
and that he distinctly recolccs" that General Pierce
did use the expressions in regard to the fugitive law
which are imputed TO him. But Foss does moi s,oear
what has heretofore been the main allegation in the
whole case that General Pierce used language perfectly
satisfactory TO the mos, jealous abotonis,s" On this
main poin, in their the consplralors, by their
showing. have utterly broken down In fiat con.
tradcton OF this distinct recollection" sworn TO by
Foss oppose the clear and emphatic statement given
below by hundred or so OF the principal men who al
tended the New Boston meeting and heard General
Perces speech In this list OF included the
names Of the officers OF the meeting and Of the most re-
spectacle and responsible Of that vicinity These
men certify that what Foss has is lie
Next TO the Foss affidavit the Republic produces the
letter Of Goodall, the editor OF the Manchester abolition
journal in which the Foss report appeared Goodale
writes nothing to the purpose except repeat the aega
ton which we have already shown to be false that Foss
report was not ooatridesd tohea oppsared We have
quoted the article in which the editor Of the demo
cratic paper in Manchester says he branded the whole re-
port tissue Of fssehood soon as !, was published
We now produce and subion from the Manchester
Union Democrat OF January l4hlhe frs, issue OF that
paper after The Foss report of Gen Pierces speech ap
pcared the original ortee which the editor OF hat jour
nal Mr.. Campbell branded that report as gross faiseaood
The statement signed by the officers of The meeting and
others present. given below tina, the report
generaly branded as an utter falsehood as soon az u
made its appearance The assertion, therefore, bear
ing the point which Goodale makes in his letter, il
abundany PROVED 10 be faiss. From the record. there.
fore, and by The concurrent testimony of numerous
respectable witnesses who cannot be in error on this
point fix upon Goolse the brand of deliberate false
hood, in the face Of his endofsers and in the very letter
Of his which their endorsement is designed TO prop up
We cannot but commiserae the unhappy position in
which Hon. Messrs. Tuck ane Perkins have placed
themselves IN thus certifying Goodae 10 the country.
Goodae says he has more testimony We may judge from
this fact how much such allegation from him is
worth,
