Elder Foss, the Rev. gentleman who, it will be re-
collected, was retained by the Seward Co. wings
in tie late Presidential campaign first to testify
against Gen. Pierce as an abolitonist, and subse-
queny to go into Ohio and swear that he was steep
ed to the in proslavery has recently turned up
again here in New England, in company with Ste
phen S. Foster, Parker Pillsbury, Garrison Phillips,
aunt Abby Folsom, and Others of that genus. A
week or two since, Brother Foss' opened an aboli-
ton meeting at Manchester, where he breaches, and
whence he sent out West last fall by the wings.
Foster and PillsbuIy were present The former COM
menced the speaking, and deplored the decline of
abolitionism in New Hampshire, as indicated by re-
cent elections abiding evidently to the defeat OF
Seward, Mangum, Jones Co., in the late Presiden-
tial campaign Subsequently, Foster proposed that
the audience should select some slavehodng states
man and divine, to be then and there tried for their
offences. Some one named Hon. W. r. King and
MY. WI. lIt clergyman IN
Manchester. Foster then took the floor constituted
himself judge and prosecuting attorney, and spent
the remainder Of the evening in speaking to convict
these gentlemen on the following specifications to
witt irst that they were liars, second, thieves y
third, pirates and fourth, murderers." Foss
acted as Presiding Elder of the meeting, as well as
foreman ofthe jury. When Foster had concluded.
he brought in a verdict of guilty.
These men, (they can hardly be called madmen
for they have sufficient method in their Madness
to earn comfortable yings travel thousands of miles
every year, and grow rich in lands and estates by
their agitation Of the slavery make
tour Of the state short time previous to our
nua State elections, precursors of Messrs. Hale
Tuck, and the free soil wing orators, who have been
in the habit OF following close upon their heels. 1t
is understood that Mr. Tuck is TO stand aside in
Congressional district No. |, and that Mr.. Hale will
be supported by the united forces of the wings and
abolitionists there, against Dr. kittridge the demo-
cratic candidate. In this district, No 2 the wings
have nominated Mr.. Hughes, one of Mr.. Fillmore's
freesoi postnasters, Of Nashua, with the view Of
uniting the wing and abolition votes against Morr-
son, democrat These two districts are very nearly
ted as between the democrats on the one hand and
the wings and abolitionsts on the other. In No. g.
Mr. Hibbards district, the contest will probably be
less spirited, az the democrats have reliable majo-
rity. The coalitionists will use the Maine law and
abolition questions their principal weapons with
which to defeat the democrats. Hence we find them
already bringing Foss, Foster and Pillsbury again
into the field. Large editions of I" Uncle Toms
Cabin are also being distributed gratutousy
throughout the State, as an electoneerng document
Senator Hale will be on hand in season. Neal Dow
is expected, so soon as your New Jersey neghbor5
have presented him with as many silver pitchers as
he can conveniently stagger back to New England
with. Abby Kelly Foster (Stephcn's {" better
half , we have not seen for two years. Poor old
Aunt Nabby Folsom is just now engaged in a war
with the State street shavers, in Boston, and unfor
tunately has been recently injured by fall
the icy sidewalks of that city.
The Boston papers of this morning Saturday
contain telegraphIc despatch, as follows-"New
York, Jan. 2S.-Gen. Pierce and his secretary, Sid
ney Webster arrived in this city this evening, says
the National Democroir The despatch is incor
rect. General Pierce was here last night, the night
