Ihe passage of an important bill by the Democratic House of llepre*entniiM t> 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 talives, is as niter a mockery ns ever was 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 strong Democratic pa per, noticed tl.e passage of this hill and expressed its sur prise at the conduct of the Demonnls of the House in the follow iug language : “Such a bill can never pass the Senate.

The Union may exhaust the voc abulary of abuse, without persuading any one (hilt the Republic circulates state ments which it disbelieve*, r that it hag 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 terest lo submit to our cor.irmpor.iry this morning. We desire his attention to them. One is an affidavit from Mr. Foss, the reporter of Gett. I'ierce’s speech. This gentleman, we understand, is a preacher ol tl.e Baptist persuasion, a man of good character and unimpeached ve racity ; but as fanatical, we dare say on dve subject of n ns the editors of Evpniitg Post, as HittlowT, Floyd, Pres ton King, Molony, Campbell, Celvelaitd, tbe Van Horens, Butler, Dtx, and the numeious ami-compromise men who are now co-operating with Forsyth, Soule, Venable, ami Gov.

Weilaresay llini Mr. Foss is quite I as ultra in his notions on shivery as any one of the gentlemen that we I aye named.

I attend ed a political meeting at New Boston, in said county, which was addressed by Gen. Franklin Pierce; that I went there for the purpose of reporting the speakers, nnd the report of the speech of (Jen. Pierce, wherein lie declares that he ‘ loathed the Fugitive Slave law, &ic,’’ was furnished by me to the editor of the Manchester Democrat', that the same was wtitten out by rue on i the e vetting after the meeting front notes taken on the spot; and that the facts tliere -1 in stated as published in said Manchester !

Pierr e said, among other thing*, that he had a “most revolting feeling at the giving tip of a slave;” that lie “loathed the Fugitive slave law;’’ and ! that the same “was opposed to humanity land moral right.” A. T. FOSS, i STATE NEW HAMPSHIRE. Merrimack, ss. July 23, 1852. Personally appeared Andrew T. Fuss, j and made solemn oath that the above af fidavit, by him subsetibed, is true. Be lli re me. JACOB S. HARVEY, J. P. 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. AMOS TUCK. JARED PERKINS. THE SOUTH-WEST GEORGIAN CHARLES B.

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.
