allu lBseS upon tDat stare Dfahueu ldIse-
hood of AT Foss & Co, about the New
Boston speech" by continuing TO publish
in its columns the iayings Of other desperate
wing prints who are in the same fix with
itself, perfectly aground for anything real 70
! say for their sa!e against Picrce-but are
driven TO the necessity Of holding on to an
exploded ialsehood in tho hope of being
able TO deceive a few of the benighted
whom they imagine may not see this ex-
posed lalsellood aud branded SANDER against
Mr. Pierce. Accuse must indeed be IN a
horrid condition that requires such means
TO sustain il. II patriotism or fairness was
the object of these gentlemen, why
don't they have magnanimi.y and can.
donr to come out IN relation TO this Foss
Il cos lalsthood, like certain true wings
whom they have so often landed and held
up as patterns Of the wings, worthy to be
initiated and followed by all sound and
genuine wings.
Hear what Mr. A. II, Stevens, the
great Georgia, wing leader, says in
relation to this Foss fabrication. in a
speech delivered by him at Atlanta. in
Georgia, September LIST, 1852. Mr..
I Stevens, said
against Gen. Franklin Pierce or
his opinions, he had nothing TO object
The had no objection to make against
Mr. piercc's votes IN Congress on the
slavery question. lie believed him
to be eminently conservative on the
Southern question, and said that he
placed no confidence whatever in the
abolition newspaper reports of Mr..
Pierces New Boston speech. lie de-
clared the democratic nominee to be a
strong friend OF the compromise meas
sures. while l." contin ued Mr. Ste.
vens, "was stumping the State OF Geor
gia, in 1850, in favor of the Union and
thecompromise, Mr.. Pierce was stum>
ping Che state OF New Hampshire, in
favor oftho same principles"
All but, say they, this Stevens is not
for Gen. Scott, although on the 2sth of
August, we thought and said he was :.
then under that impression he was all
that perfection could make a goodwhig
But. alas it turns out that we were
mistaken, that great and good Ste.
vcns is not for Gen. Scotland now he
oil course is a great scamp wholly I'M
worthy OF the confidence OF any good
Scott wing. But hear what another
great leading wing member Of Cons
gress, who is for Gen. Scott, and a
rank abolionist at that, says about this
New Boston fabrication Of Foss g. Co.
Mr.. Thaddeus Stephens, of Pensyl>
vania. in a speech delivered in Con,
gress the 10th Of August, 1852, says:
"lf gentlemen require, as they plain
" do require, that any act of Congress
amending or repeating the fugitive
slave law, should be met BY Eaeeutive
~obstrectioas. and arrested BY the Ex-
ecutive veto ; and that the whole in.
tiuence OF his Administration should
he used for that purpose, | am free to
say. that do not believe they can RELY
upon Gen. Scott for such high handed
tyranny. IL they require that the Ex>
ecutive shall afford facilities Tor ex>
tending slavery into territory now free,
or the admission of new slave States
into the Union, beyond the line OF com.
pact now existing, | think | hazard no.
Ning in saying that they cannot rely
upon Gen. Scott. Upon the other
hond, ! am constrained to admit. that
iu all official as well as ext~rasoiicial
efforts by the use of the Executive ve-
to, TO prevent the amendment or repeal
of the fugitive slave law, and to afford
facilities for the spread oil slavery into
free lands, and toc the admission OF
new slave States into the Union, they
can rely most implicitly upon General
Pierce, Notwithstanding what some
foolish men have published about some
speech made by him AT New Bosch.
Laughter.l II he ever did utter such
senliinents--if he ever did fall into the
pafh of r~ectitude, il was momentary
and accidental, and for which he is not
TO be held responsible. (renswed laugh
terl--for all his votes in Congress, and
all his public acts everywhere. pro-
claim him the champion of slavery"
What have our southern wing friends
now 70 say in reference to the views Of
this powerful Pennsylvania Scott wing con
corning their fasori,e General, and of Gen.
