The Yazoo Democrat., 1852-08-18
New BOSTON SANDER.

Ihe wing papers continue to team with Sian
derous charges raked from abolition sewers, anC
arrayed under flaming capitals against our nomi-
this, they would have become ashamed of the
dirty work-wash themselves clean and enter
into the contest upon principle. But it seem;
that the more they indulge their taste, the more
vitiated it becomes. Notwithstanding Mr..
Pierce while in Congress as a member OF the
house Of Representatives and as Senator, always
opposed the nefarious designs Of abolitionits and
free-soilers, and thus incurred their deadly ha-
tired, and notwithstanding he has whenever It
was necessary, abandoned his professional du
ties though adverse in his disposition to engage
in active political life, TO put down abolition
fanaticism in whatever shape it assumed, whig
editors in the south have the unblushing affron-
terry to publish to the world that he is strongly
opposed to the institution of slavery, and II
elected President, would use all the influence of
his official position to destroy it, and would
sanction repeal of the fugitive slave-law.-
They base these reckless assertions upon the re-
port made of Mr.. Pierces speech by some un-
known and irresponsible writer for the notori-
pendent Democrat and g Manchester Democrat
papers that have more bitterly than any other
reviled and denounced Mr.. Pierce for the views
be entertained of the rights of the South in re-
gard to the institution of slavery. The reports
as published in these papers of Gen. Pierce's
speech at New Boston, ascribe to him some very
strong anti slavery sentiments, in which he de
hounced the fugitive slave law. This charge
bears falsehood upon its very face, and we should
like to see a whig editor reiterate it before in
telhgent people, without blush coming over
his face, however hard it may be. 1t is well
known that previous to making this speech in
which he is said to have denounced the fugitive
slave law, that Mr.. Atwood the regular demo-
cratic nominee for governor, few weeks before !
he election, proclaimed himself opposed to the
measures. and this opposition was
solely upon the ground tnat they contained a
provision for the rendition of fugitive slaves Mr. |
Pierce, as soon as this fact became known, al |
though it was bat few weeks before the cleo
ion, used every effort in his power to defeat Mr.
Atwood and succeeded. Now is it reasonable to
suppose that Mr.. Pierce, after creating breach
IN his party, and defeating It's regular nominee
on account of his opposition to the fugitive
slave law, would afterwards come out and de
lounce it himself? Certainly not, and no one
out "a whig editor or abolitionist, would have
he hardihood to say SO. The slanderous char
res have Saen heretofore nailed to the counter by
ncontestible testimony, but they are reiterated
~ the whig press with as much earnestness @nd
cal, as if they had never been refuted.
In another column will be found the card Of
more than one hundred witnesses, who heard
he speech above alluded to, among whom are
he chairman of the meeting, clerk and sheriff Of
he county. We do not expect this publication
o put a stop to these SANDERS but it will pre-
-ent them from deceiving many who place too
much reliance upon what whig paper says
The truth is, Mr.. Pierce's whole course upon the
slavery question is entirely unexceptionable to
he most ultra southerner, the wings are aware
If this, but they hope to draw public attention
rom the circumstances of Scotts nomination,
which we heard characterized by good whig as
freesoil triumph, by these false and malicious
hargeS.
