Southern standard. [volume] (Columbus, Miss.) 1851-1856, 1852-09-25


Fusr1AN,-r The bunker press are alleging that
we are endeavoring to render Gen Pierce odioas
to the South by representing him as an abolition
list This is net the fact We haze inuarta5lg
spoken Of kig.s as deUoted 10 tie support OF tie
most ertrease sectional vieacs on the subject Of STA
very. We never gave him the credit of sincerity
in his speech at New Boston, but regarded his
anti alayery remarks as political ruSe designed
only for this latitude. No one in any degree
quainted with our columns can have misunder-
stood US on this point.-lNanchester Democrat.
This. is precious confession says the New
Hampshire Patriot. Here, for two months, these
abolition demagogues have been laboring and ly-
ing and swearing to ''render Gen. Pierce odious
to the South" by representing that he entertained
sentiments similar to theirown. They have pub
lished lying certificates andlying affidayits piled
perjury upon falsehood, in the effort to ''render
Gen. Piece odious to the South, ;" and thereby
aid in the election of Scott And now, having
utterly failed to do Gen. Pierce the least injury
seeing that all the falsehoods and rascaty and
perjury which have been employed in this dirty
business have effected nothing, the organ Of these
abolition conspirators cooIy declares that they
never tried to effect what has been the sole object
of all their efforts After swearing that General
Pierce preached aboltionism, they now say they
always represented him Is devoted to the support
of extreme Southern views! What rascally eff
frontery is here exhibited. But the object is OBJ
vious. Having failed in efecting any thing in the
South against Gen. Pierce, they propose now to
devote their attention to the North Charging
him with abolitionism having failed to injure him
at the South, they propose to try to do something
at the North by now representing that they al
ways knew that he was an ardent and devoted tool
of slavery"

/ the metropolitan organ of the Catholics of the
United States, after publishing the report of the
proceedings of the Convention for the revision OF
the Constitution Of New Hampshire, closes with
the following just need Of praise to Gen. Pierce:
This report unequivocally proves that General
Pierce exerted his influence TO have the "Relig-
! ious Test stricken out from the Constitution OF
his native State The charge of supporting the
continuance of the offensive clause, has been
brought against Gen. Pierce but by a set of poll
tcians who care but little what SANDER they re
tail, provided it gains votes for tie party We
publish this record to show that the cause o.
Catholicity must not be dragged into the politica
arena to prevent men from giving him their sup
port that ground. Were we to decline publish
ing this proof, would be aiding the false charge
I The Mirror has no political preferences, hence il
cannot, by its silence, sanction falsehood of the
nature of the one now under consideration.
FACT VS.. FIcrIoN-The satisfaction with which
I4inly and other writer's describe the most improb
able marvels, says Bentleys Miscellany for July
of other things which really facts, reminds u:
of.a certain elderly lady who, dearly loving dsl
rof. chat,snever lost opportunity of partaking G

addressed rough looking old tar who was loung
