The primitive Republican. (Columbus, Miss.) 18??-1852, 1852-08-05

carefully collated history of Gen. Pierce
congressional career, showing that through
the whole nine years he served in the HonseI
and Senate, the right of petition right
older than Magma Charta-had no bitterer
or more unrelenting opponent than the pres
ent bunker democratic candidate for Presi-
dent of the United States This is not news
to us. 1t is not news to the people of New
Hampshire, in whose memories the history
OF their degradation at the hands of such
men as Anterior, Pierce, and Burke, is still
fresh. They have not forgotten that those
men earned for the State they misrepresent-
ed the Insulting and reasonable appellative
OF the South Carolina of the North than
which it were difficult to find name more
significant of disgrace and shame. x x
In this catalogue stands General Pierce
In all the nine years he spent in Congress
not thought, word, or act can be found
which savors Of. the slightest regard for civil,
religious, or personal liberty. On all ques.
tions and all occasions his course was one of
entire and unqualified subserviency to the
South and to slavery. Such it has been
since; nor, we suppose, do he or his friends
wish to deny this. On this ground mainly
of his devotion to the greatest wrong that
curses the earth, was he first brought for
ward by the Virginia delegation, and after
wards endorsed by the whole southern de-
mocracy, as proper standard-bearer of theil
principles. On this ground he and hi;
! friends expect to see him elected, if elected
J he shall be, which is very doubtful"
i. The Manchester Democrat of June II
1852, in an article entitled ''The Hunkel
Democracy and their Candidates." says:
"The convention in its numerous ballot
ings exhibited the same determination of tn,
South to allow of the nomination of no MAI
l unless notorious doughface of the most de
voted and unquestionable stripe, and an ad
: vocate of their most ultra pretensions.
] Thus the South chung to Buchanan until
4 finding his nomination impossible, and wear
: led by unsuccessful efforts, they led the wa,
: in a body for Franklin Pierce of New Hamp
: shire, whom they well knew to be profoundl
j loyal to southern interests, from whom n
: word or vote in behalf of human rights ha
}. ever been recorded, who had avowed his en-
! tire devotion to the Compromise, but who
n in the absence of any avowal, could be bel
n ter trusted by the slaveholding interest tina
a majority of the candidates for whom it ha
J, voted"
