The whig and Abolitionist Conspiracy against
Gen. Pierce and the Rights OF the south.
Now that eminent whig testimony has proved that in
the nomination Of General Scott the control and organi
za,ion of the whg party have been sold. by corrupt
bargain" 10 Messrs Seward and Johnston and their
higher law" allies we find the whg leaders and their
organs perssting in the exploded abolitonist caumny
which would represent franklin Pierce as belonging in
sentiment and feeling. 10 the set of men, Their mo-
tive for this obvous they know full well that General
Scots only hope of support at the South upon their
chance OF nstlng into the minds OF southern men the
idea that there no northern statesman who be trusted
to maintain and respect the constitutional rights OF the
South more than the hgherlaw" wings willing to
do. The whig managers know that the South will not
take Scott and Seward if that section believes can by
voting for General Pierce get better and sounder man
They know, too that it useless to represent Scott and
Seward worthy Of southern support Hence they feel
that their only is to represent General Pierce
being no more friend 10 southern rights than the
/" higher-law" men who have nominated General
Scott. In this view the wings have got one of the
New Hampshire abolitionists to swear that General
Pierce used language about the fugitive law which is
at war with all his declared position on the sub
iect and which is used to impress the southern people
with the idea that General Pierce, if elected, would vic.
late his public pledge, in his letter OF acceptance, 10 main
tain and execute that law in fidelity TO the positive
date OF the constitution II is supposable that
abolitionists would have entered into this conspiracy,
had they not fell General Pierces heel on their necks in
the politics OF New Hampshire. 1t would indeed be
glorious triumph Of the aboonists, il by false swear
ing they could backen the character Of Gen Pierce
the South TO persuade the South TO take Mr. Stewards
candidates In this way the aboltonists would kill two
birds with the stone. They would first defeat their
open enemy. Gen PIERCE and thus have their revenge up
on the northern who has done most TO crush them;
and in addition to this. they would put the government
into The hands OF the higher-aw men. We think that
both these motives must have combined to make the
New Hampshire aboltionsts get up Fosss affidavit and
publish what he has sworn. Anxious as they doubt.
less are have the government under the charge Of the
hgher-law" principle as proclaimed by Mr. Seward,
the sting OF personal vengeance and acrimony against
General Pierce doubtless needed induce them to
enter into their nearious plot That these men should

whig party is now playing We tell the South that this
