more specific and conclusive piece OF testimony 1t
would be hard find 1t nails the abolition reports
to the counter as the basest sort OF con.'
The Washington Union, in laying the foregoing
testimony before its readers, says:
"By way of finishing this matter and putting it
In the power of all readers to judge for them
selves how monstrous an outrage has been PerPelra-
ted by the wing and aboitionst consPiraors against
Gen. Pierce, we now place before our readers the
following conclusive testimony Of the officers OF the
New Boston meeting and the principal men who at
containing the original signatures has been placed in
our possession, and it must be regarded as the direct
testimony of the meeting iteFa as TO the speech Zen.
Pierce. But this is not all nor the most we no'o
state, q matter Of personal knowledge, that
Gen. PIERCE ms nature, has repeatedly de-
.aounced the repurl in question, Of his speech at NeD
Boston, grossly alse-0s tissue Of fasehOods and
complete and total Misrepresentation Of aOhat he then
said. This precludes the necessity of any further
testimony the SUBJECT; and If we allude to the
matter again. it will be not to vndicate Gen. Pierce
from charge senseless in itself, as 1t IS utterly ex-
ploded by the evidence, but rather to hold up to the
Just indignation of the country the foul conspiracy
which the wing leaders and organs have made part
of their partisan warfare, only upon Gen. Pierce,
but upon the right of the people to know his true
position"
But the Washington Republic, determined by
all MEANS whether fair foul to fasten this charge
on Gen. Pierce introduces matter on the sub
iect consisting of an affidavit of Rev. Andrew
7. Foss, and certificate of character in behalf of
Goodale, by Tuck and Perkins, members OF Con-
gress from New Hampshire. Foss swears that he
reported the speech Of Gen. PIERCE the occasion
referred to, for Goodales paper and that he report
ed it correctly. And who is this Foss He is a
fanatical disciple of the "higher law who has
left his pulpit to preach Abolitionsm- sheds
crocodile tears over distant and happy negroes,
while many of those about him, in white skins; are
pining in want and misery-who endeavors to
make Clean for himself and the ''ravenous wolves
who howl in chorus with him, the outside of the
platter" while within there is nothing but rotten
ness and dead mems bones who follows William
II. Seward and his confederates in crime in prefer
ence to the mild and immortal teachings of the Sa-
viour of mankind-who tramples on goodwill af-
fection and charity, which ought to flow out in pure
streams from brother to brother in all this great Con-
federacy and who would substitute for these things
and for all the virtues which adorn and elevate
humanity, and the hope which lights up the gloom
beyond that hypocrisy which is from hell, and such
sentiments and motives as can find place only in
the bosoms of incarnate fiends Such is this man
Andrew 7. Foss and yet he saOears! Why there
is no respectable Jury in New Hampshire who
would hang dog on his testimony, though backed
by Tuck, Fogg, and Goodale, who might swear
with him and for him till they were as blue as
their own characters and as black the infamy
which enshrouds them. He is the creature who
dared to interrogate Gen. Pierce this very
ion, and at whose instgaton the vile Abolitonists
who were present Kissed Gen. Pierce for has
ly avo,Ual of his deuotion to the Union and for
his eloquent defence of the iti"eslave laao! And
this is the creature relied EB by Southern
Wings in their efforts to hunt down and destroy
one of the noblest ablest and most consistent de-
Tenders of their Consttu tonal rights TIE Southern
people have ever had in the non-slaveholding
States! ET And has it come to this? A citizen
of free State stands up for years. in Congress and
out, in behalf of a wronged and injured section
he pleads for them-he vindcates their rights-he
aids them in extending their peculiar institution,
as in the of Texas and fertile regions
he even wins from Mr. Calhoun, by such patriotic
and national conduct his fullest confidence and the
highest concentrations and yet this citizen, when
he is brought forward for an Office which, so far
from seeking he had expressly declined, is set up
on by the very men whose rights he has thus up
held and whose interests he has TINS defended
his whole public life, for party purposes, is distort
ed and blackened, ON Abolition testimony, and he
who was a friend-ever and only friends pro-
nounced false character, coward and an enemy
We cannot hope, even after this array of facts
that the Wing papers will dosimple justice on this
subject to Gen. Pierce. Their only hope is in mis-
representation and alsehood and their love for the
spois is too intense to permit them to do justice
where injury to their might follow
But we have marked them, and we are content to
leave them with the people. They may withhold
justice theselv"s, but they will get that justice
they deserve in November. The authors of false
hood and the propagators of SANDER, in this free
country, where the people read and hear for them,
selves, are sure to become, or later, their
own punishers and executioners.
