The following, which We clip from the Washington

trust will forever put the infamous ISLANDERS of the
little Chckadee Wing papers about Gen. Pierces dspo-
sition TO dslranchse Catholics. The Republic has the

many Wing Journals will follow the examplel We
shall see
The allegation that the of Mr.. Pierce in the
late New Hampshire Convention is open any Just ex-
ception on the ground OF his manfesng any religious
intolerance IS utterly uniounded We have referred TO
the proceedings Of the convention, and find nothing that
indicates any other sentiment than entirely in har-
nony with religious freedom Mr.. Pierce was opposed
TO the recognition of any political differences among the
various sects OF Christians; and shall be much
prlsed to learn that he has any time in the convention
or ont OF IT, exhibited any bgony intolerance on
points OF faith conscience

General Pierce is a man of rather above the medium

eagerness BY those who fortunate make his
acquaintance Ahabc and unpretending in his manners.
he is attractive all who within the sphere Of his
