Sudden Conversion.

The able and accomplished editor of the
Mobile Advertiser, G. G. Langdon, Esqr.,
winds up an article on Pierce and King
meeting in that city, as follows:
"We shall be pardoned, we hope, in con-
clusion, for congratulatng ourselves Oh the
conversion of nearly the entire Southern
Rights party to our doctrines upon the Com
promise. 1t is the most signal and wonder
ful that can be found on the records of
time. The day of Pentecost was nothing
In comparison to it. That cause-for the
support of which, only two years ago, we
were threatened with a visit from Judge
Lynch, and our presses and type were to be
thrown into the river for supporting which
we were denounced as an Abolitionsist an
enemy, aye, traitor to the South'-thot
cause, that COMPROMISE cause. is now eve
rywhere acknowledged to be triumphant
Even the Mobile Register is chanting it's
praise! General Pierce is supported be-
cause of his devotion to the Compromise
and each section of the Union north.
south, east and VESTS vieing with the
others to see which can sing loudest hosan-
nahs to the Compromise Never before
did the world witness such a revolution in
public sentiment. And, as for our poor
humble self, never, in the course of our
now somewhat protracted editorial life, have
we been connected with an event that fur
nlshed us such cause for self-gratulation.-
The inal triumph of the Compromise am
ply compensates us for all the abuse, the de-
nunclatlon and the persecution which we
have suffered in consequence of its advoca-
cy.'

A Candid Adversary.

Mr. Nicholson, the chosen champion of
the Memphis (Tenn) Democrats, put for
ward to sustain their cause in discussion
that has just taken place in that city, made
some singular admissions. The Memphis
Eagle, in its outline of the debate, has the
following:
''The portion of Mr.. Nicholson's speech
which is most noteworthy was his admis-
sion of General Pierce's auki-slaqeyy sen
timcnts Mr.. N. repeated the language
of The Manchester speech, as giving ex-
preston to the abstract sentiments of hostil-
men born and reared as General GtSsta"PPH Pjercs Ss
has been, at the North but maintained that
he was not the less reliable for the protec
tion of Southern institutions, so far as they
are guaranteed by the constitution. This
part Of Mr. Nicholson's speech-frank, can
did and open, ana by that very frankness
and candor lending strength to the argument
in behalf of General Pierce-nzuSt have
weakened the faith of every Democrat pre-
sent In what their organs have been telling
them about the New Boston speech Mr..
Nicholson would not, and did not stultifv
himself by attempting to show the differ
ence between the sentiments there attribu-
ted to General Pierce, and those which he
admitted him to hold, and to have expressed
at Manchester-although he referred to it
incidentally as a 'calumny' Mr.. Nichol-
sons argument on this point was virtual
admission of all that the Wings have charg-
ed, to wit: that Gen Pierce held sentiments
on the subject of slavery far more objection
able than any ever attributed to General
Scott
Washington telegraph., 1852-10-13
Another of the s'Men Of Mark and
DiStinCtiOn.''

We referred some days since to the
difference between the Wing and Democrat
ic "bolters," and the motives which it was
most probable prompted both. Here is ano-
ther illustrations Eag. d Eng.
Mr. Daniel Jenifer, formerly Wing
member of Congress from Maryland has
announced in card that he does not intend
to vote for General Scott, but he doesn't say
anything about voting for Pierce. In the
last number of the Baltimore Patriot we
find the following questions, which are in
deed searching ones
"Was not Col. Jenifer an active member
of the late Wing State Convention, and
prominent candidate for the electoral ticket
from the first district? If lie had been
successful IN receiving the nomination,
qcoatld lie haze come out acith this card
Would he?!"
We have seen good story told of this same
Mr. Jenifer to this effect When old Tip
was elected, it was understood that Jenifer
was to have foreign commission, and had
fixed his heart on the one to Russia, as like
ly to pay the most money. Col. Tod, how
ever, had taken a fancy to that, and fooled
Jenifer into the notion that he could save
more from the mission to AuStria-so to
Austria Jenifer went Being a bachelor
he managed to live very considerably inside
of his salary and outfits and giving DO en-
tertainments had gathered up quite pretty
"pile. - on which to retire back to the Uni
ted States Decency, however, required
that before leaving he should open his house
for one entertainment. Not being much
"up to that sort o thing he applied to one
of the Princesses of the Royal family, to
plan and direct the getting up of the affair,
who graciously condescended to do So
But, Her High Mightiness, having no idea
Of poor.J Jenifer's frugal ideas, got up every
thing as she would have done 1t was a
magnificent entertainment, and reflected in
finite credit in aristocratic circles, upon
the liberty and good taste of the departing
American Minister. But the cost of it
sacept Jenifer's ''pile' to tile last cent =
He had to borrow money to go home on,
poorer than he went, and was glad to accept
a clerkship at a small salary. We believe
he has scarcely been heard of since his re-
turn, until he turned up the other day, Civ
ing aid land comfort to the enemies of the
Wing party. Poor Jenifer we apprehend
this dodge in politics will prove as bad a
speculation as the Austrian Mission.

WHAT is "PRoGREssIvE DEMocRAcY?'
Gen. Nye, delegate from New York in
the Democratic National Convention. (see
the report in the Washington Union of June
Sth,) said, in speech in that body:
You may talk about the coalition that
was formed in Massachusetts, s-but Mr.. Ran
toul was not its founder. ,Shoac me a Dem
ocrat IN Massachusetts qclto uras not IN
this coalition. If that is to be your guide
and standard, you viii have to take Gov
Boutwell, out of his chair-take the Demo-
cratic Judges out of their seats. Massachu-
setts has had a resurrection for democracy
she has shaken off her old robes of fede-
ralism, and now stands forth clothed in the
garb of progressive democracy.
1t may now be understood what is meant
in some quarters by progressive democra-
cy.'
Washington telegraph., 1852-10-13

We ask our readers to mark the utter 81
lence Of the Democratic presses in this State
and all the other slaveholding States in re-
gard to the coalition which the Massachu-
sets Democracy, by nearly unanimous
vote, have just formed with the Freesoilers.
The Locofoco editors cannot deny the coali-
ton, for it was entered into openly in the
face of earth and heaven; they do not know
how to explain it or apologize for it; and so,
taking the only course left them, they are
perfectly dumb in relation to it.
But the whole country must and shall
know of this coalition. The whole country
shall know, that, while the Southern Loco
toco demagogues are talking of the North
ern Democrats as the natural allies of the
South, those Northern Democrats, with an
audacity that seeks no concealment, are
openly and boldly amalgamating with the
AbolitiOnists. the two factions supporting
one common ticket with an agreement to
share the spoils with each other Now if
the Southern States, with such facts before
their eyes, will make themselves party to
the algamation, what do they deserve but
to be cheated and betrayed most miserably!

Washington telegraph., 1852-10-13

That politics sometimes makes strange bed
fellows, the present canvass affords ample tes-
timony. Southern Secessionists and North
ern Abolitionists are found cheek by jowl,
canvassing together-making speeches from
the same stump, in favor Of the same candi-
dates, and acting together as lovingly and
afectionately as kittens on hearth. John
Van Buren,, the New York Barnburner, and
one of the principal getters-up of the Buf-
falo Platform; who declared to the Free De-
mocracy of Ohio, that he was "the unmiti-
gated enemy of slavery and would have it
abolished without delay, and that under no
circumstances would he support man who
would not use all constitutional power to
abolish it t.-and Pierre Soule, the very en-
bodiment of the reasonable sentiments Of
the Nashville Convention; have recently,
made an electioncering tour together. These
worthless representing the two extremes of
the agitators, recently addressed the De-
mocracy of Buffalo, from the same stump,
in favor of the election OF Gen. Pierce
In addition to the singular alliance of these
extremists, we notice, that the INSPECTOR
GENERAL OF CANADA in a recent speech on
the reciprocity question, spoke in glowing
terms of the prospects of Gen. Pierce, and
declared that if he be elected President,
'thc prospect of obtaining reciprocity would
be enhanced wonderfully" The Democrat-
&c party, the speaker added, as most .tavor-
able to .foreigm interests and on that
ground he desired the success4f Gen. Pierce
Is not this a strange alliance? Men who
would risk a dissolution of the Union to effect
the abolition of slavery, and those who have
declared they would rend it into fragments
rather than submit to any interference by
Congress with the rights of the States to re-
tain lt-couplcd with the influences of a
foreign emissary--all united to defeat the
man, who in peace and in war has spent his
life in perpetuating the honor, and the in
tegrity of our glorious Union ...

Rev. andrew e. Eoss.

This gentleman, because of the New
Boston speech, in which General Pierce de-
clared that he "loathcd" the Fugitive Slave
law, and his veritcation of the same under
oath, has been charged with being horse
thief and a penitentiary bird, BY many of
the Pierce presses South. The progress Of
these allegations drew from the Manchester
IN. H) Messenger the following statement:
Mr.. Foss is no political friend of ours.
but we 90 him the justice to state who and
what he is He is a Calvinist Baptist Cler-
gyman, in good and regular standing in that
respectable. devoted and numerous denomi-
nation. He has been settled at Hopkinton,
at New Boston, and over the First Baptist
Church in this city, and is now supplying
pulpit at Sutton. His character is unim-.
peachable. We challenge {; competition or
an investigation into it, here where he is
known. A more unfounded or gross SIAN
der never was perpetrated than the state-
ment to which we have alluded 1t is un-,
founded entirely. There has never any
thing occurred in his life. which could have
given the slightest pretext for it, We chal-
lenge a comparison Of his character with any
man.
That Foss is an Abolitionist there is no
sort of dcubt, but it does not follow there
fore, that he is either periurer or horse
thief, His character as Christian, cler-
gyman, and an honorable member Of socie-
ty, stands as high as that of any man in
New Hampshire, as has been abundantly
proved.-N O. Bulletin.

Gen, scott.

We would ask every candid and just man
in our country if General Scorr were not
a candidate for the Presidency, and stood
now in relation to them alone in the, light
of commander-in-chief of the army, as a
citizen disconnected with politics, as gene
raj who has lea our army through many bat
ties to victory, who has rendered many i'm
portant civil services to the country-if they
were called upon under these relations to
express an opinion of him, would it not be
highly laudatory; would it not be kind and
generous; would it not be with desire to
do Justice to his character; would it not be
with thanks for what he has done would he
not be called great, brave. patriotic, humane,
lust, and faithful to every trust, and entitled
to his countrys gratitude When he stood
in this relation to his country, such was the
opinion of Madison and Monroe, Clay and
Cass, Adams and Webster, and unnumber-
ed multitudes, without distinction of party.
Then he had no enemies. He was judged
upon his merits, and justice held the scales.
What has changed these relations now,
and with them what has caused that marvel
lcus change which is daily proclaimed through
every channel Of defamation, SANDER, and
bitter ennity! Simply because his politi-
cal friends have thought proper to testify
their confidence and gratitude by placing
him in nomination for the Presidency /;
awarding to him right that belongs to all.
And for this one political step his political
adversares have renounced every former
favorable opinion cancelled every obligation,
blotted out every record Of praise, and are
pouring on his devoted head vials of wrath
and unmitigated persecution. Thus 1t is
that Justice and truth and honor are all re-
nounced to observe the ends of party. But
justice is not dethroned by this daring inva-
sion of its empire. There is calm, sober
thinking mind throughout our land, sitting
in judgement upon this matter; and it will
be difficult to reverse that verdict which was
once given in behalf of General SCoTT when
he was standing upon his MERITS, with nc
advocate but his deeds, and with his judges
no motive but justice. If he was great
man and good man and patriot before he
was nominated he is no less so since his nomi.
nation. The evil spirit Of party may pur-
sue him, but its poisoned arrows will fall
harmless from the shining and spotless ar.
