General Pierce II knows perfectly we'll that he has
been, since his fret into public life the enemy oil
the abollonists It knows that during the pending OF
the compromise he their sauneh advocate
and since their adoption he has been their most eminent
democratic champion in New England. Yet the lace
OF all this, the Republic enters with zeal into an abolition
,nsracy to make Gen Pierce endorser OF aboi-
tiouism The Republic does ths. which. while Gen
Taylor was IN power, opposed the ComPromise-wmcn'

compelled by consistency to repudiaie the idea OF sup
porling This is the journal which talks OF Gen. Pierce
as committed on both sides OF The slavery question This
is the Immaculate witness whose endorsement is held up
as shield 10 the false testimony OF two abolitions

We subjoin, in this connexion, communication which
we have received the subject from gentleman OF
high public position now in New Hampshire, whose
we'll known character forms the most ample guarantee
of the truth OF his statements
do not usually see The washington Republic" A
number OF that paper has, however, recently alen IN
my way containing extracts from the "lndependent Dem
ocral." published Concord, and from the Democrat"
published at Manchester, New Hampshire, both pur-
porting TO give a somewhat extended account OF the
speech of General Pierce made at New Boston prior TO
The last annual New Hampshire election. wish 10 call
public attention these extracts and the false spirit and
intent Of the editor OF the Republic in publishing them.
L. charge upon the editor of the Republic the intent
to deceive his entire readersm especially those
siding the Southby copy ing articles from these papers
designing TO convey the impression that they dem
ocraic papers, containing proper evidence OF the actual
remarks made by General Pierce when he knew them
both to be abolition journals of the vesi class, and ut
erly worthless as an authority TO any whg democrat
He knew very WELL If the true character OF these jour
as was given to his readers, the poison contained in the
charges made in them and the antidoe in their utter
alsily would go together. He therefore, like the das
tardy assassin who stabs in the dark keeps the true
character of these papers the background. and from
this vile screen thuss forth attacks known TO be false,
OF from such basey false authority that they must be
presumed to be So against OF the most open and elo
quentdefenders Of the constitution and the Union
This is dsgraceful and infamous course Tor one pre-
tending to give just and accurate information TO the South
on questions far above all ordinary party feelings,
and on which he knows the South admits OF no iaehood
or Misrepresentation. n the editor OF the Republic sup
poses he will gain friends in that section, by base mIsrep
reservations OF the eloquent efforts of Franklin Pierce in
heir behalf from such sources he grossly mistakes the
honor and chvarous bearing OF those to whom his state
nenis are addressed.
O. | charge on the editor OF the Republic the fact OF
conducting this campaign in concert with the abolitoniss
as his coadutors and confidential advisers. No others
,u aboonsts could have hunted up these articles. and
hose who furnished them TO the editor OF the Republic
are the vilest men OF that class. The veacy OF such
ersons he vouches for and he Iehashed their articles
md put them in circulation through the southern States
" means OF his and other papers, as authentic in
ormaiion from democratic journals. And this is the re-
ward those who labor for truth and right and the nieg
ty of the Union to receive at the hands oil The ad
anisiation organ! Shame on such dasardly warfare
nd alliance with warning against the best
eresls of their country Trust pains will be spared
II you strip from before these the screen behind
which they ambushed, and show up TO their readers
