Gen. Pierce's Friends.

A great Locofoco meeting was held at Hillsboro'
New Hampshire, on the 10Th ult. The most no
ted characters there were JOHN VAN buren, and
DIX, the Freesol leaders. Capt. RyNDERs and
Mr.. THRAsHER, of Cuban notoriety, were also in
attendance. "The annexation of Cuba" says the
Richmond Whig, sis one of the desderatums Of
the Democracy and as the New Hampshire De-
mocracy, of which PIERCE is the embodiment, are
all against any more slave territory, Cuba will come
in as Free State. We exhort the people of the
South to be on their guard
Yho Richmond Enquirer publishes sketch Of
Mr.. VAN BuREN's speech, delivered almost in the
presence of Con- PIERCE. fromwhich the follow
ing choice extract is takeE:
"NIr. John Van Buren, was the next speaker
He was received with tremendous cheering, and
proceeded to Justification of the men who, With
him, were found on the Buffalo platform in 1913
and the Baltimore platform in 1852. Ithad been
demanded of them that they should bind them
selves to love slavery. That they could not do
then detested slacery-they ,could not uphold any
k,o to preserve such an i,Stitution-they bolted.-
Mr.. Van Buren, was satisfied that the action of the
Buffalo Democrats in l94S secured the election OF
the Wing candidate. They accepted the Baltl-
more platform OF '52 because that platform only
demanded of them that they should not agitate the
question of slavery. He was ofopinion that there
,oas nothing inconsistent in his present position"
