firmly resolved, without reference to past causes OF
dissensioD to render cordial support to the admnis,ra-
ton of President Pierce upon the comprehensive national
principles 10 which il is rrevocaby committed, and IN
which ia pledged both to resist all sectional agitation,
and to maintain III the spirit of the constitution and the
compromise all the rights OF every section Of the country
who are the Enemies OF the National Admin

The southern wing leaders and presses are in excel
lent company in their assaults upon the administration OF
General Pierce and commend the ASSOCIATION TO the
earnest attention OF the people OF the saveholdng States
We aude their public operation with the wild and
aBacal abolitonisls in the North, who. IN their late
meetings. reilerae the fendsh philosophy which pre-
pares The way for the annhilalon OF the constitution by
attempting to dishonor those who gave TO mankind that
great charter of national liberty, Each of these nfu
ences is hostile 10 General Pierce, but they differ in the
manner of assaing him, The wing leaders OF the slave
States pursue the administration with the most malignant
anmosities, because as alleged, it is not true to the
principles OF the compromise measuresln other words,
because is false TO the rights of the slave States OF
this Union; WHILE to complete the poetic beauty OF the
afilal,on the abotionsts denounce and assa the ad-
mnistation of General Pierce alike the creation and
creaurc--the advocate and echothe bound and sworn
defendant, of the slave power. How charmingly they
agree on all other points How cordially aud how af-
fectopately they fra,ernize
But this is not the only ally which the southern wing
leaders, in their upon the general administration
have been enabled TO TO their embraces There is
another al the same time than the aboli-

than those ravng zealos We the northern negroes
Encouraged into open discussion OF the institutions
of the county, and aroused 10 action by the ex
ample of their white associates, they have venured to
coec, and to organize into one powerful combination
the whole negro eemen, of the North, the best
doubtless, of strengthening the movement of which the
southern wing papers and politicians the leaders

represented Englsh politics, nigh, make the subject OF
one OF his rarest cacatures All three of these parties
are in the field; but the negroes all TO the aid
of their southern supporters with the best and the most
extensive organization. They TO meet in grand ma
,onal convention at Rochester, New York, on the 9th
day of July next and their programme of principles
cludes everything that could be desired by the
FILTERED anagonis, OF the principles TO which General
Pierce and the democratic party publicly committed
Thus, at the moment when the sworn enemies of the
Union in the North preparing for crusade upon
the constitution OF the United States; at the momen,
when the negro population OF the free States muster
ing their forces to fomsnt excitement among the people
at the momen, when Grea, Britain, through the press
and large asscmblages OF the mobility and gentry
receives with open the author OF the most exagge
rated assault upon fifteen members OF confederacy,
and ssnazes her reception by the bases attacks upon
our institutions at this where do find The

The southern wings who assail the administration OF
franklin Pierce have moreover, virtually covenanted with
the avowed, though not less dangerous, enemies OF
the Union, moi TO let the question Of slavery rest upon
the bread and deep foundation OF the compromise
sres They have repeatedly shown this TO be their de-

the administration which, alter all is the best security
and the only hope, under Providence and the funda-

purpose could no, be 6aeranty apparent than IL
they sent delegates TO the abolition and negro con-
ventions OF Boston and Of New York. Strange and
saddening this dsgaeeful anomaly s, the end

who iraduce the present patriotic Executive, and toll
with vain and guilty desperation to strengthen the public
enemies Of the public peace, expect by reopcning The
