Let Va see what this New Hampshire enormity is 1t
Is an enoTmily In the eyes Of all men, not only Catholics
but liberal Republicans Of all sects II Is the venal and
test idea OF House of Brunswick and Guelph 1t Is
the enoInay which the British Tory Administration Of
Peel and Wellington yielded to Irish Catholics in ls29
when Franklin Pierce first took his seat In the New
Hampshire Legislature. New Hampshire Loco Foco-
lam remains to-day more bgoted and besotted than
British ToTyism was 20 years ago and Lord koden,
claims than Frankln Pierce has TO true Republican
votes for their parties Tories though they be- opened

cy which every man endorses who votes Tor FRANKLIN
Pierce, the leader of that Democracy in Newliamp-
shire whom the Loco.FOco Press informs ii was in
tended 10 compliment In his nomination. Wen might
Judge Woodbury. say as he did in the Hampshire
Constitutional Convention, that this New Hampshire
enormity branded the Catholic, though educated and
talented and vrtuous, with infamy and disgrace and
send him and bis family through streets and social
circles marked like CRin a sort OF degraded oltcsst
or beIot not fit 10 be ntrusted with either legislative

oninon of every honest republican of every sect Now
what has been Franklin Pierces denuncstion OF the
enormtyl Did he concur with Judge Woodbury. Ia de-

Truly no. We are told that old Benjamin Pierce got
Franklin Pierce - write his messages as he could not
even spe the word 'but." This Is quite hkey wen,
Frankin Pierce was member OF the Legislature IN
ls29 In June $50 Benjamin Pierce, being GsveTnor
of the State in his annual metsAge to the House OF
Representatives. of which ilis Franklin Pierce was
leading member. Wen, this Franklin Pierce, in that
annual message Of his father, said just after swear
log TO constitution which excludes Catholics from the
four principal offices of the State:
To look abroad and behold every cluzen, wltnOut as
tibctfoa Of sect or rank CLucstR9 ne Ju ana t1hdt
TiQhs Of cipa and religious iib0'y % are alone sum
Gent to excite emotions Of graUde too strong ever 10
be oblierated." 800,
Here Franklin Pierce pu, il into the mouth OF his
father the Governor to insult deliberately every lover
of truth equal rights and Republican hoeTahtT oy say
inp that his emoo ms OF gratitude too strong ever
10 be oberateo In gloryng Ia that bogus system OF
equal rights which marked the most numerous Chris
alan in Chrsendom with the disgrace OF tne helot
and the mark of Cain Why should the people OF NEW
Hampshire change their Constitution when the leader
of the Democracy of that State then and the leader OF
The Democracy of the United States now, saw tbs Cath
ocs branded as oucasts and helOs and excluded from
offices open 10 the negroes, with feelings of gratitude
Htoo strong ever 90 be oblitersteo."
There Is Franz lin Pierces idea oil champonlng ks'
uyious Liberty-that q State where Catholic canno:
hold an flee even should the hole people OF the state
vote for him. Is such political Paradise thai admiration
burns deeply ioio his ahecuons thAt une CAhno'
obllterate The record.
This Constitution has been in existence sixty years
Fight times since has been submitted to the People
whether Il should be- reformed, and never has the dom
nAut party in the State made test of principle Never
has Franklin Pierce called meeting to denounce the
blgotry The mote in the eye OF the Rhode Island Con
