The City Council of Portsmouth, N. H.. on Thurs
day evening last voted to extend the hosptalities
of that city to President Pierce, on his approach
ing visit to that State. The Boston Post says it
is probable that the President will leave Washing
ton in a steamer, and land at Portsmouth, N. II.
The meeting st Concord, which resolved not to
tender him public reception was held at the
Fremont Camp or headquarters. The following
are the preamble and resolution adopted at said
meeting:
Whereas, We have been informed that Franklin
Pierce, President of the United States, intends to
visit the city of Concord early the month of Octo-
Der next and 1t having been proposed to the citizens
of Concord to make suitable arrangements for his
ception, which they have by vote Of FIVE to
fused to DO; and whereas be holds his Office BIZ virtue
of the votes ard confde in him originally given
by hli parts of the county aaike; and whereas bs
mas used that Office TO betray the rights and liberties
OF the people of the Northern States into the hands
OF an usurilng olsarchy at the South, tested
IN many ways, but most emphatcaIly in his insane
ehort TO gam Possession of the Island of Cuba;
the wicked repeal of the Missouri restriction
OF slavery his manifest endeavors to aid the South
10 estaoiishing slavery in Kansas, and in the slam
ders against that portion of the peop!s of this
country, among whom are numbered largs ms;o,i
tY OF ths ctiZens OF Concord charging in s last
nua nessase that states conspicuous for their
vices in fSunclne this Republic, ard equally sharing
It's advantages disregsrded their ob6ga
tione TO it, tauntng them with their in,bility to
neat social evils of their
and nlsely charging them that 'they engage in the
offensive and hopeless task of reforming the domestic
institutions of other States wholly beyond thnr
tlol and authority" asserting in honied words that hs
clients 'ths people of the Southern States coufine
their attention to their own affairs" and merely
charging upon the 'inhsbitants" of the Northern
states gui acts which would be cause of war
between foreign powers, and only fail TO be such in
our systern because perpetuated under cover of
the Unlon," nicknsming as sectional agitatora"
having such passionate rege of fanatlclsm and
partizan spirit" and "fanatcal devotion 20 the
So posed interests of the relatively few Africans
in the United Staten. ss totally TO abandon and
disregard tho interests of the twenty five mil
lions of Americans-to trample under foot the in
functions of moral and constitutional obhgat1ons
and whereas, citizens of the great Republic
of America, we feel deeply injured END Illuminated
by such prostitution of the highest once OF our
country to abusive and partizan purposes, and such
an uregement of men like brooks and douglas 10
assa the Inhabitants of the Northern states by per
scnal violence and political fraed and whereas the
public messages and official conduct OF franklin
Pierce lead US to believe that he syinPsthizes tar
more with the pro-slavery oliEarchy, whether at the
South at Washington in Kansas, than he does with
the lovers of freedom--with Preston $ Brooks more
than with Charles sSumner-wifh Atchison and string,
fellow more than with Pomeroy and Robinson, and
with Shannon more than with Rseder; and whereas
we are anxious that should Franklin Pierce visit Con-
cord announced, he may receive no personal
such as the slave visits upon the frien6s OIL
libeIty-and no official neglect which decent re-
spect ourselves does not absolutely impose upon
us;
Resolved That the most beftting mode in which
the Inhabitants Of Concord can receive Franklin
Pierce among them, Is in solemn rnonrnful silence
