The Raleigh Register is misleading its ,oo,
when it states that certain extract FROM, Nss

but that paper is engaged, twice a week IN NE
Tang the speech, and endeayoring to show in H..
garbling, that Gen. Pierce said nothipo on a. 0'u'
casion referred to in defence of the Const;+s.. !"
rights of the South. The Register states tba.

Read the speech, and then hand it round tovor

cause would lose by the practice on his mart If
common honesty he cannot afford to do Justice
just now. And are right-minded Whigs-are The
people of the State to be gulled and deceived in
this way? Let them answer at the polls.
