We here have Gen. Wilson's ideas of seconality and

Nor shall take the trouble crtcise his malignant
pensions of President Pierce There that
language express in the charge that the policy of the
present administration has been marked and controlled
by southern 1t false mean and other

principle Of popular sovereignty, which has opened

northern men, came not from the South, it
forced President Pierce by southern AS friend
of this administration, rejoice that principle which
removes burning stigma that has rested on southern
since 1920 has been successfully maintained by
it. and shall be disappointed if the South does not rise
up with heart denounce the injustice of the warfare
waged upon President Pierce by this abolition champion
of black repubicanism. If anything wanting
exhibit fully the revolving character he black repub

the rise and destruction of the knownothng order He
/ says on those points:
Gentlemen, within year and half party sprang
into being and that party wished carry the country IL
united with the anti Nebraska 1854 and aided
in sending sixty seventy members to Congress who
opposed the extension of slavery but the South de
manded that the American party should be slavery

that effort to be made enforce the American party
to bow down in abec submission to the slave power and
gentlemen, made up my mind that member of that

The adherens of the knownothng lodges in the South
will here the truth of the charge have often made
as the coalition between nothngism and abol

to disclose fully the ultimate ends of black repull
cansm Us follows:
Now gentlemen have referred tonight to the purposes
for which this organization formed Let ALL in all the
free States unite combine the eemen of the country

We ought TO remark that this speech was delivered be-
fore Gen. Wilson had heard of the fate which beie black
republicansm in Ohio and pennsylvania. we would
mark the appeal here made for harmony and union
bury all minor differences and unite in opposition
10 sapery extension and in 1856 the presidency can
be secured for man with backbone. That means,
of course for w H. Seward But the very idea of such

Union To hush the goadngs Of his conscience and TO de-
