Ihe passage of an important bill by

in plain and direct contravention of the
Baltimore Democratic platform, and that
100 immediately after getting up of
•he platform, is a f,ict fu'l of significance
!o those who are honest and candid
enough lo look at it tight. It signifies,
that, even among the highest, the nmt
intelligent, and most respectable Dem
ocrats, lire Democrats who represent the
Democracy of the Nation in the Halls of
Congrats, n party platform is merely n
thing nl convenience, to l<e disregarded,
trampled on, and kicked not of the way
whenever it seems lo interfere with any
fivorile purpose. What earthly reason
i- there to suppose that the Congressional
Democracy, who spurned aside the plat
form resolution in ‘regard to the public
lands as soon as it was adopted, would
hesitate for/an instant to treat the platform
resolution in regard to the compromise
nnd the fugitive slave law in the same
manner if they should at any time fancy
that they could thereby accomplish some
partisan object ?
II certainly does seem lo ns. as it most
lo every other man nfeontmnn sense, that
the Democratic platform, viewed io the
light thrown tiprn it by the action of the
Democracy of the IJoi.se of Represrn

devised. Such a platform, in the keeping
cf sue It ap. rtv, is not worth half its
weight in old hoards. U hat earthly
difference docs it make whether such a
platform, in the keeping of smlt a party,
endorses the compromise measures or te
jeets them ?
The M-irlisnii (Indiana) Courier, a

Gen. Pierce and Slavery.
There is nothing to he gained in con
troversy bv recourse to vituperative lan
guage. The Union may exhaust the voc
abulary of abuse, without persuading any
one (hilt the Republic circulates state

Btiv sympathies with A holitionism.
We published two reports of General
Pierce’s speech at New Riston. The
Union attempts In discredit these reports
on the ground that they come from the
Freesoil wing of the Democracy, ami are
therefore unworthy of belief. The Nt w
York Post, nil the other hand, a Dem
ocratic journal nl the highest ability and
pretension*, the organ of the most influ
ential and celebrated Northern Democrats
—•of the Van Horens, B'llcr, Dix, Clev
eland, Kantoul, ami a host of others,
without whom the Northern Democracy
is nothing and nowhere—the Evening
Post gives full credence In the teporls,
commends the sentiments attributed by
them to Gen. Pierre, and calls upon my
to produce further testimony of the same j
sort. The legislative records of New ,
1 latnpshire, the ri solutions of her Stale
(tin 1 County Convei lions, show that the
D nnocrats proper of that Stale have lor j
years liel I (he same language that is as
cribed to Gen. Piene, and the witnesses
prodtired by the Union to rebut the evi
dence of the Manchester and Concord
Dnwcrnts. arc distinctly proved to have
given their personal endorsement to the
same sentiments, and to stand in consimili
ensu with the witnesses w ho are denounced
by the Union ns vile and infamous Abo
litionists. The difference that we can
find between Mr. Morris and Mr. Hale,
is extremely thin. Mr. Mon is disavow -
his local seiiliinrnts on the subject id’
salverv w hen lie reaches Washington ;
Mr. Hale has the manliness and courage
to adhere to them. Mr. Peaslee ant! Mr.
Hibbard do not carryout their conviction*
precisely with the editors of the Manches
ter nnd Concord Democrats ; but diet
stand committed on the records to senti
ments as justly offensive to (he So tilt a*
anv which those journals have.avowed.
We have two or three documents ofin

them. One is an affidavit from Mr. Foss,

The next document to which we would
ask the attention of our eotempnrary is a
letter from the editor of the Manchester
Democrat Mr. Goodale. It will he seen
that this gentleman avers that lie has al
ways heen si “Demonat” ami is now cp
posed to Gen. Scott. lie avers moreover
that tw i reports were made of Gen.
Pirn e’s speech, which corresponded in
evert/ particular; and that tlie accuracy of
the report in the Manchester Democrat
was not denied by a single paper unlit
the recent manifesto of the H ashinglon
Union:
Letter of Mr. Goodale.
Manchester D, mocral Office.
July 26, 1852.
Editor of the Rcpubic:
Silt: I noticed in k the Washington
Union some days ago a statement that a
report of iltej speech of Gen. Pierce at
New Boston, on the 2d of last January,
had been republished in your [taper .• and
the Union , on the authority of Messrs.
Norris, Peaslee, and Hibbard, prononced
said report to he totally false, and the
paper in vvlnch'll appeal'd tube infamous.’
As you have no knowledge of tne, it
will he proper for me lo sny shat I am a
Democrat—have ever been an opponent
ol'tlte Whig parly —and atn opposed to
the election of Gen. Scott’ 7 slate this
that yon may understand that 7 write to
you solely to defend myself and maintain
die truth.
Until the passage of the Compromise
measures I was in full fellowship with tlie
Hunker Democracy, and had personal
in qiiainlance with Gen. Pierce. 7 com
mon w ith a portion of the Democratic
party, 7 opposed the Compromise, and
in JBSI supported Mr. Atwood, the anti-
Comproniis; candidate for Governor.
At that election the Compromise Demo
cratic candidite was defeated by the peo
ple by over 3‘OOD majority.
7u order to regain their power with tlie
people, Gen. Pierce and his friend.-, after
the election, took special pains to repre
sent to the leading anti Compromise
Democrats that their feelings in regard to
the inhuiTianiiy and wrong.of the Fugitive
Slave law did not differ in the least from
those who had supported Mr. Atwood ;
hut that, for the sake of the Union and
the fulfilling the compact ofthe Constitu
tion, they deemed il best, to acquiesce
in it.
As tlie election for 1852 approached,
Gen. Pierce expressed a desire to address
the citizens of New Boston, where Mr.
Atwood resided and, which had given
hint a vote of 241 to 49 for Dinsmore,
the opposing candidate. Desirous to
obtain a correct report of Gen. Pierce’s
remarks, 1 requested two gentlemen of
intelligence and high character to report
for me. They did o, and the report of
the one which was published in the Dem
ocrat of January 8 was substantiated in
t very particular by the report of the other.
The accuracy ol the report was not de
nied by a single paper until the remit
manifesto of the Washington Union.
As the Democrat had not only the largest
circulation in the city, but also in the
county, it would have been folly to have
published any other than a true report of
a speech which was listened to by hun
dreds. hi* no trivial evidence of its
accuracy that its correctness was not
questioned by men of any party.
It is an easy matter at this late day to
find partisans who, induced bv hope of
reward and by party prejudice, will stand
ready to deny the truth of this report ; but
let a thorough investigation be marie and
it will be sit stained in every particular,
and by testimony of such reliable and pos
linve character ns to convince every can
d ill man. When this is rallr and for in a
Suitable manner, I atn ready to furnish
it.
Respectfully, yours.
JOHN H. GOODALE.
We submit in the Union that this affi
davit and this letter are much it ore ef
fective and reliable testimony than nlmiix c
language. But we have not yet exhaus
ted our documents. We have this mo
ment received a letter from ttvo members
of Congress from New Hampshire. Mr.
Tuck and Mr. Perkins —the named
a Democrat, and the laiier a Whig.
Front this Utter we learn that the iclitors
of the Manchester Democrat and the 7n
dependent Democrat —ate men of good
reputation in tl.eir vic inage. Mr. Goocl
ale, it seems, has always supported the
Democratic nominations, nnd has always
had at the head of his columns the names
ofthe D'-mocatic candidates for Congress,
including those of the men who now set k
to malign hint ! Mr. Fogg, it is averred,
is a Democrat of the same associations,
and a man as far above’personal reproach
as any one in New Hampshire.
Such is tlte testimony of two highly res
1 prctalde men.hers ofthe House front New
Hampshire to the reputation ofgentlemen
j who have been so wantonly and ittalig
gaudy assailed. We annex their letter
j without fmtlier comment :
Letter of Messrs. Tuck and Perkins.
Washington, July 28, 1852.
To the Editors of the Re/mblic :
Tlie undersigned have read the arlii les
which have appeared in your paper on
| the subject ofthe remarks upon slavery
alleged to have been made by Gen. Pierr e
l at New Boston, New Hampshire, in the
month of January last. With a yievv of
shielding Gen. Pierce front the responsi*
bilily of tlie remarks imputed to him, out
colleagues in Congress, Messrs. Moses
Norris, ji. Cltas. H. Piaslee, and Harry
Hibbard, have published a letter intended
to discredit the two newspapers in New
Hampshire—the Manchester Democrat
and the IndependentJkinoa at —in which
a report ol G n. PieP p's speech was pub
lislted at the lime, Their letter was pub
lished in the Republic of the I9ih instant,
and we call your attention to the following
paragraph, contained in the same :
They (the Manchester Democrat and
the Independent Democrat) are known to
us to be now, and to have long been,
avow erlly and bitterly opposed to the pi in
cipbsand organisation of lire D< mocrnlic
pnrty generally, and partieulary vindic
tive and mendacious in regard to Geo.
Pierce, before and since his nomination
nt Baltimore. Their character is such
as to render any contradiction of their un *
founded statements on unnecessary labor,
trhe rever their reputation is known.”
On tlie subject of the anti-slavery re
joices, instructions to members of Con
gress, the anti-slavery professions and
protestations, now attributed in the pub
lic papers either to Gen. Pierre or to our
colleagues, in a sort of official com id
eation, seek to protect any man from
what they consider a grave charge, by at
tempting to demolish the reputation, at the
seat of Government, of two respectable
newspapers in our State, and conse
quently the reputation of the conductors
of those papers, we deem it our duly to
indicate our own judgement in the pre
mises.
The wholesale charge of mendacity
and infamy of reputation, wherever
known, contained in the above extract,
lias astonished us, and will, we doubt not,
nstnni-ii all the people of New Hampshire
whose political animosity has not got the
entire control of their understandings.
If (lie above vilification of the lair (liar*
acter of George G, Fogg, esq., editor of
the Independent Democrat, and of John
H. Goodale, esq., editor of the Manches
ter Democrat, had first appeared in any
New Hampshire newspaper, we should
not have thought any notice required of
ns. Hut being made here, where Mr.
Fogg and Mr. Goodale are bill little
known, anil in a semi-official manner, we
think it demanded of us to enter upon the
record our denial of the justice of the
charge made by onr colleagues. That
the papers in question have been “tnalig..
ant.” or “mendacious,” or “that their
i Intruder is such as to render any contra
diction of their statements an unnecessary
labor, vvhereever their reputation is
known.” we deny as emphatically and
positivley ns our rnllegues have made the
charge ; and for the derision of this issue
we appeal to tlie sober-minded people ol
New || ampshire. Political hostility and |
partisan difference ofopinion may destroy
the judgment of some men ; hot we have
confidence that the great majority of the
people of our Stale will form a just opin
ion, nnd condemn the attack which our
colleagues have made.
John 11. Goodale, esq., has always pro
fessed to be a Democrat, and though his
paper has given efficient support to all the
Democratic nominations for the Piesiden
ry since 1840, and has always had at the
head of his columns the names of the
Democratic nominees for Congress, in
cluding tlie names of our colleagues, for
the seats which they now occupy. In
1848 he made as spirited a fight against
John Van Bureu, Henrv B. Stanton,
and many others of the present support
ers of General Pierce as did any one in
our State. He has, for a year pastor
more, been in a controversy with his late
Democratic brethren. Our colleagues
say, m a part of their letter not published
above, that his paper has long been an
abolition organ. We ace not aware dial
Mr. Goodale has advocated any senti
ments on the topic ol slavery, since his
paper ceased to be the acknowledged or
gan of the Democracy, different from
what he advocated before, We believe
lie possesses a fait reputation wherever lie
is known, which his re viler cannot mar or
destiny.
We are still more surprised at the at
tempt of our colleagues to brand w it* dis
credit the reputation of George G. Fogg,
esq , the editor of the Independent Dem
ocrat. Mr. Fogg was brought np a Dem
ocrat and ardently supported Mr. Polk in
1844. He disbelieved in the policy, or
constitutionality of the annexation of Tex
as, in the necessity ol the Mexican war,
and in the general legislation of the last
few years in regard to slavery. Conse
quently he is not, and lias not been for
years a Democrat, in the present accepta
tion ol dial term. But be is a gentleman
of superior sclio'ar-liip, education and
talent*; has licrn Secretary of Slate ol
New Hampshire, and for a long time a
successful editor of the paper which lie
now controls. He lives in the same town
with General Peaslee, and in that town,
and out ol il, and throughout the Stale,
possesses a reputation as far above re
proach of every kind as any man in the
Stale.
Wc sny without fear of contradiction,
tlmt if General Pierce stands a$ unim
peachable in morals and integrity ns does
George G. Fogg, he possesses reputa
tion against which “mendacity” and “ma
lignity” are fated to throw only harmless
weapons. Respectfully.

The Scott Convention.
This Convention met in Macon on the
18tIt inst. and was organized by the ap
pointment of Hon. VV. B. Fleming, of
Chatham, President; M. W. Perry, of
Muscogee, and Gen. G. Evans, of Rich
mond, Vice Presidents; L. F. W. An
drews, of Bibb, David 1.. Roallt, of Rich
mond, and R. W. Sims of Coweta, Sec
retaries. Thirty-one counties were rep
resented in tliis Convention. By refer
enie to the proceedings of the Third
Candidate Cnuventian, which we publish
in another column, it will he seen that a
Committee of conference was appointed
to meet a Committee from this Conven
tion to ascertain if there was any possible
chance of harmonizing tlie parlies by a
compromise. The two Committees met
and after rousttliaiion, the TGird Candi
date Committe found that no terms of
compromise would be received by the oth
er party but the support of Scott, anil
believing that this course* won Id not only
he repugnant to their own feelings and to
the wishes of those who delegated them,
but to nine-tenths of the Whig [.any of
the Stale, they very properly ri fused to
adopt it, hut gave the Scott committee to
understand, that lit >ugh they differed from
(hem as to whom they should support for
the Presidency, yet tlt-v were willing to
part with them as friends, occupy iug the
same platfi rm of prim iples, and fighting
in the same cause.
We were in I lie Scott Convention as a
spectator, wlipn llieir Committee made its
report, and at the announcement that
there was no chance of harmony, t here
was a general cheering. A member of
the Committee then offered some resolu
tions to ■ lie effect that the two parties sep
erate in peace and that each regaro the
other as friends tliooph homstly diff ring
in opinions, not principles. He told tin ni
that a similar resolution would he intro
duced in ilie Webster Convention, hut
notwithstanding, it was almost unanimous
ly voted down, the members tremendous’
ly applauding their own vote. We have
merely mentioned these facts to show the
bitter feelinps the few Sroltites in the
Slate have toward Whips who have deter
mined to support the man of their choice
in defiance to the edict of a corrupt na
tional caucus.
Time forbids onr following litis snl>j**ivt
any farther at present, in onr next isue
we shall review the proceedings of the two
Conventions at length.
