Gen. Pierce and Slavery.
MORE AFFIDAyITs.

We consider the testimony already ad
duced, touching the character of Genera
Petce's speech at New Boston, perfectly
conclusive. 1t proves that the General, a
mong his friends and neighbors in New
Hampshire, expresses sentiments that are
well calculated to arrest the perfect gusl
OF enthusiasm" with which his nomination
was hailed by Mr.. Forsythe and Mr.. Soule,
and the Secessionists and Fire-eaters gen.
orally. We have nothing to say in regard
to those sentiments, except that the New
Hampshire Democracy have very solemn
ly affirmed on various occasions that they
are such as the New Hampshire Democra-
cy entertain. The admitted fact which APP
pears from the Life of Pierce, published by
the Democratic Central Committee, that
General Pierce averred at Manchester on
the Goth November, 1850, that s'the man
who would dissolve the Union did not HATE
OR DEPLoRE slavery more than he did,
This admitted fac, renders the alleged New
Boston speech matter OF less interest, ex.
cept from deni ais of Gen. Pierce and his
friends, which are calculated to convey a
false impression OF the facts in the case
We have never entertained doubt that
the report OF Mr.. Foss of the Generals re-
marks on slavery at New Boston was essen
TALLY and substantially correct.
The most sceptical can entertain no doubt
OF ITS accuracy as to the immediate points
IN controversy after reading the afidavits
which follow.

THE TESTIMONY OF AN OPPONENT
We suppose no one will doubt that Mr.. j..
r. Giddings, member of Congress from O.
hio, is rabid anti-compromiSe man, as he
is decided abolitionlst and free-soiler.-
He has recently written a letter to the
Cleveland True Democratin which he thus
winds up his objection to voting TOR Scott {:
Besides, Gen. Scott is we'll known to
have labored for the passing OF the Com
promise measures. He attended the Union
meeting IN New York, and avowed himself
in favor of them. From that day to the
present he has not hesitated to declare his
position in favor of them. He deliberately
takes his place upon the Wing platform,
and pledges himself to carry it into prac-
tice. Now, it is certain that he must and
will do so if an honest man. These facts
should be known and acknowledged by ev-
cry man. Scott is unquestionably in favor
of admitting any number of Slave States
from New Mexico and Utah, of permitting
slavery & the slave trade to exist andremain
there and IN this district forever, and that the
Fugitive Law shall continue until the final
day OF retribution. The man who uotes for
him, roteS for those measures.

MASSACHUSETTS, Political matters seem
to be in almost as great snarl in Massa-

ineut politicians are Clergymen. The cler-
ical profession seems to be taken up in Mas
sachusetts as sort of stepping stone to
public life. The result is that both church
and State suffer. Men cannot serve two
masters. These worldly divlnes are unfit

ltical meeting holden in this town on the
second day of January, 1852, at which
meeting Gen. Franklin Pierce made po'
litical speech, and distinctly recollect that
he spoke of slavery and the Fugitive Slave
law as moral wrong and revolving to his
feelings. NATHAN HALL.
Let US see If Mr.. Norris and Mr.. Hubbard
| will undertake to impeach the veracity OF
these witnesses. We take it for granted
that the deponents entertain precisely the
same feelings with regard to slavery that
have been SO repeatedly exhibited, in a
marked public and official manner, by both
MIR. Hubbard and Mr.. Norris but we do
not think that on this account they are not
to be believed upon oath. Of what value
are general certificates, vague and sweep
ing disclaimers, against the positive and
specific AvERMENTs ON OATH OF MEN OF
UNIMPEACHED TRUTH?
General Pierce's own reputation of Mr..
Foss's report amounts to nothing. 1t is in
Gen. Pierce's power, if he can do so con-
sistently with truth, to deny specifically the
language on the slavery question attributed
to him at New Boston, and to state as well
as he can recollect the precise words which
he really employed on that occasion. He
owed it to himself and his party-if he took
any notice of the report-to disclaim it in
such manner that his disclaimer would
"stick." He contents himself with saying
that the pretended report" is an "entire
Misrepresentation" Nov, we k,ioao from a
dozen quarters, indeed it is admitted, that
large part of the report is mol misrepre-
sentatlon. On some points all the witness
es on both sides agree. But Gen. Pierce
says it is an 'eniire Misrepresentation. y
This state of the case makes it necessary
for Gen. Pierce to write letter in which
he shall correct his testimony in such a
manner that it shall not conflict with that
of all the other witnesses.
General Pierce has undertaken 10 i'm
peach the correctness of report made at
the time, and now sworn to, by Baptist
clergyman IN good standing; and that re-
port now confirmed by several other wit
nesses. We have still other affidavits,
which we shall publish at our convenience.
Meanwhile, will the Union furnish us with
one Of the several letters which it has seen
from General Pierce denying the "calum-
ny" under his own signature ? 1t may be
more specific and distinct 10 the points in
controversy.
