The Free-soil Candidates and whig Misre-
presentations.
A systematic effort has been made by falsehood and
perverson to show that the freesoil nominations, at
Pittsburgh, will rebound the benefit Of Gen. Scott
and the Wing party. Telegraph operators were bribed
and hired to send false dispatches to influence the
South by representing that the question of nominating
Pierce and King under discussion; when no such
idea was entertained by single delegate Horace
Greely commenced with the first fash Of the telegraph
by declaring that the Convention had "a very Loco
fOcosh look" In his paper of tho 18th inst, the nom
nations are thus announced:
"Br TELEeRAPH.-we have a full report Of the pro-
ceedings Of the Free-SoiI Convention at Pittsburgh.
Hon. J. P. Hale has received the nomination for the
Presidency and Hon. George w. Julian, oil Indiana,
that for the Vice Presidency worthy OF note that
both originally belonged to the Democratic party"
The Indiana Journal, taking its from Greedy,
says:
'The Free-SOiI National Convention, held at Pitts
burgh nominated John p. Hale for President and Geo.
w. Julian for Vice President.
"These gentlemen now Democrats, although MIR
Julian, several years ago, professed to be Whig"
The object Of this last desperate resort is too mani
fest be covered by the thin veil thrown it. John
p. Hale originally Wing and violent opponent
of the administration Of Gen. Jackson. In 1896. he
changed and went for Mr.. Van Buren, In 1874, as a
member of Congress, he opposed the annexation Of
Texas taking the ground that Horace Greedy and
the Whig party of Indiana then did aud do occupy
The Democratic party Of New Hampshire, regarding
the annexation Of Texas as Democratic measure in
convention. withdrew the Of Hale from the Demo
cratic ticket for Congress- and substituted another.
By their resolutions they threw him overheard. He ran
independent antisavery candidate, and with his
aid the Wings and Abolitionists carried majority in
the Legislature and deested the Democratic candidate
for Governor When the Legislature assembled, the
Wings and Hale men united, and elected Colby, Wing,
for Governor, and Hale and Col Cilly, Aboltonists
to the Senate In the Senate Hale has generally acted
with the whigs and through Tuck and Wilson, his
friends, controlled the patronage in New Hampshire
under Gen. TaylOr's administration He has never
claimed hold any affinity with the Democratic party
since 1874 He is known to be hostile to Gen. Pierce,
and prefers the election Of Gen. Scott.
George W. Julian, the nominee of the Free Soil
party, for Vice President, never was a Democrat
never voted Democratic ticket in his ife In 1910 he
was strong and noisy supporter Of Gen. Harrison In
1874 he was equally jealous for Mr.. Clay. He has al
ways voted the Wing ticket for State officers. In 1s45
he was elected on the regular Wing ticket member
of tho Indiana House of Representatives and during
that session, he known to be Wing, and acted
with the Wing party This will not be denied. He op
posed Mr. PoIks administration and the Mexican war
was in favor Of the nomination Of Gen. Scott in 1S4S
but when Taylor received the nomination, he joined the
Buffalo party and has acted with the Free
Sellers. As a member of Congress- he put forward
by GddiDgs Tuck and Co., as the leader Of that little
band of Guerras that fought all sides of the House.
When elected Congress in 1s49 and when defeated in
1851 we regret to say, be received many Democratic
votes. Some voted Tor him under false impression,
but the great majority did Of opposition Mr.
Parker. Knowing the principles Of Julian and his dead
y hostility the Democratic party, always opposed
him, and during the last paper was most
decided in its opposition to his election. We make
these remarks that the position Of the candidates on
the Free Soil ticket and particularly Mr. Julian may
be understood Out Of his old District his nomination
will not effect single Democratic In the coun-
ties of Wayne and Henry he will take from the Demo-
cratic party few hundred votes and his nomination
will be he Of increasing the Wing majority in
these countless but in opinions cannot be increased
beyond what it was in 1874 when Mr. Polk carried the
State In that election the Wing majority in Wayne
was $685. and in Henry 49, In the last Congressional
election, Mr. Julian received A $40 The Wings
here calculate that he will be able to carry this number
to the Pittsburgh ticket. In this they will be sadly mis-
taken.
