Gen. Pierce and Slavery—More Affidavits.
Y\ e consider the testimony already adduced,
touching the character of Gen. Pierce's
speech at New Boston, perfectly conclusive.
It proves that the General among his friends
and neighbors in New Hampshire, expresses
statements that are well calculated to arrest
the " perfect gush of enthusiasm" with which
his nomination was Wailed by- Mr. Forsyth
and Mr. Soule, and the Secessionists and Fire
caters generally. Wo have nothing to say in
regard to those sentiments, except that the
New Hampshire democracy have very sol
emnly affirmed on various occasions that they
are such as the New Hampshire Democracy
entertain. The admitted fact, which appears
from the " Life of Pierce," published by the
Democratic Central Committee, that Gen.
Pierce averred at Manchester, on the 20th of
November, 1 *#o, that "the men who would dis
solve the Cnion did not hate or deplore sla
very more than he did." This admitted fact
renders the alleged New Boston speech a
matter of less interest, except from the deni
als of Gen. Pierce and his friends, which are
calculated to convey a false impression of the
tacts in the case. We have never entertained
a doubt that the report of Mr. Fuss of the
General's remarks on slavery at New Boston
was essentially anil substantially correct.
'1 he most skeptical can entertain no doubt
of its accuracy as to the immediate points in
controversy after reading the affidavits which
follow:

r. Ayer, Esq., and General Franklin Pierce,
and that 1 heard A. T. FOBS ask him several
questions, and heard Gen. Pierce's replies.
I distinctly recollect of hearing General
Franklin Pierce Lay that be had the most re
volting feeling at the giving up of a slave;
diat he loathed the Fugitive Slave law, and
other expressions of similar import concern
ing slavery, and the Fugitive Slave law.

Sworn, August 10, 1852, before
ROBERT MOORE,
Justice of the Peace.
I, Nathan Hall, of New Boston, county of
Hillsborough, and State of New Hampshire,
•laposc and say, that I attended a political
meeting holden in this town on the second
day of January, 18 r 2, at which meeting Gen.
i rank lin Pierce made a political speech, and
I distinctly recollect that he spoke of slavery
and the fugitive Slave law as a moral wron o
arid revolting to his feelings.
Let us see if Mr. Norris and Mr. Hibbard
will undertake to impeach the veracity of
these witnesses.
We take it for granted that the deponents
entertain precisely the same feelings with re
gard to slavery that have been so repeatedly
exhibited, in a marked public and official
manner, by both Mr. Hibbard and Mr. Nor
ris ; but we do not think that on this account
they are not to be believed upon oath. Of
what value are general certificates, vague and
sweeping disclaimers, against the positive and
specific averments on oath of men oj' unim
pe ached truth ?
General Pierce's own repudiation of Mr.
Foss's report amounts to nothing. ItisinGen.
Pierce's power, if he can do so consistently
with truth, to deny specifically the language
on the slavery question attributed to him at
New Boston, and to state as well as he can
recollect the precise words which he really
employed on that occasion. He owed it to
himself and his party- —if lie took any notice
ot the report —to disclaim it in such a man
ner that liis disclaimers would " stick." lie
contents himself with saying that the " pre
tended report is ail " entire misrepresenta
tion.'' Now we know from a dozen quarters,
indeed it is admitted, that a large part of the
report is not a misrepresentation. On some
points all the witnesses <>n both sides agree.
But Gen. Pierce says it is an " entire misre
presentation."
This state of the case makes i f necessary
for General Pierce to write a letter in which
he shall correct his testimony in such a man
ner that it shall not conflict witli that of all
the oiler witnesses.
General Pierce has undertaken to impeach
the correctness <fa report made at tlio* time,
and now sworn to, by a Baptist <1 -rgyman in
good standing: and that report now confirmed
by several other witnesses. \\ e have still
other affidavits, which we shall publish at our
Convenience. .Meanwhile, will the I'niou fur
nish us with one of the several letters which
it has seen from General Pierce denying .lie
"calumny ' under his own signature? It may

fierce Against the Pensioners.
In looking over an old volume of the Jour
nals of Congress, we find Pierce voting
against the old revolutionary soldiers, indiau
fighters and widows. On page 130, House
Journal for Dec., 1833, the following resolu
tion appears:
Resolved, That a select committee be ap
pointed. w hose duty it shall be to inquire into
the expediency of so extending the provisions
of the act of Congress, passed 7th June, 1832,
granting pensions to certain classes of troops
therein named, as to embrace in its provisions
those who were engaged in the wars against
the Indians subsequent to the close of the rev
olutionary war.
This resolution was debated for eleven days,
at different times, and on the 11th of Febru
ary, 1834, Mr. Chilton Allen demanded the
previous question, the call was sustained, and
the main question was put, and the resolution
adopted hv a vote of 120 yeas to 80 nays —
FRAX KLiX PIER('E voting against the res
olution! Among those who voted for the re
solution are the names of the following gen
tlemen—John Quincy Adams, Chilton Allen,
Kufus Choate, Thomas Corwin, Edward Ev
erett, Richard M. Johnson, Millard Fillmore
—and the following from Tennessee: John
Bell, John Blair, David Crocket, David W.
Dickinson, John B. Forester, Cave Johnson,
Luke Lea, James K. Polk, James Staridifer,
Samuel Bunch, and William M. Inge.
The Committee reported a bill—that bill
provided for the widows of officers and sol
diers, and PIERCE voted against it! In
1841, the House revived the measure, passed
the bill; it went to the Senate, there it met
with the same FRANK PIERCE again, who
spoke and voted against it! See. Congression
al Globe, 27th Congress, page Jl7, good dem
ocratic authority. The bill of 1841, pro posed
to extend the benefits of half pay to the wi
dows and orphans of deceased officers, &c., and
he voted against that !—Knox idle Whig.

HAVE YOU THE FEVER AND AGUE? —If so, then
be persuaded to try Dr. J. W. Cooper's Vegetable
Compound Fever and Ague Pills, as they will pos

We ourselves know of a number of cases in
which they have been used, and we never knew
them to fail; therefore we conscientiously re

best medicine ever discovered for the cure of
this distressing disease. These pills are for sale

YVe copy the following remarks front the
New York Daily Times of Saturday :
GRAIN AND FLOUR ENGLISH HARVEST.
The operations in Flour and Grain in this
Market, since the last English steamer, are
restrained hy considerable caution on the
part of buyers, and by some distrust iu the
result of the crops on the other side. Prices
to-day gave wa v under enhanced supplies,
and the unwillingness of speculators to move
freely in advance of the actual orders re
ceived from abroad. Flour is quoted 12] to
19 cents the barrel below the extreme rates
of the week, and Wheat from 3 to 5 cents the
bushel less. The export demand, however,
has been decisive enough to sensibly help the
shipping interests, and freights have recover
ed from their previous low rates.
The caution of our home speculators is
scarcely to he regretted. Nothing is more
uncertain than English harvest weather, and
no definite opinion of can be form
ed for some weeks to come, while nothing is
so hurtful to regulate trade as a premature
movement in sending forward supplies on
American account, not likely to be taken in
London and Liverpool, except at a loss, in
case the harvest should prove a good one.
The chances arc we think, that the partial
short-coming of the Wheat Crop, on the
other side, will justify from $4.50 to $5.50
lor Flour in the course of the Fall months;
and it is almost certain the Potatoe disease
will be the means of keeping up an active
shipping demand for Indian Corn. The
crops of Cotton in the United States, as we
have before had occasion to remark, are un
usually largo and promising, and the country
will be able to spare, at moderate prices,
more than double—and if need be, quad
ruple the quantity sent forw; 1 last season.

the Diamond, in Heeds
ville, Mifflin county, with
a large DWELLING and STORE STAND,
Stabling for 8 horses. Kitchen, Wood House,
Smoke House, and other out buildings thereon
erected. There is also a well of water on the
premises, Apple, Peach and Plum Trees in full
bearing—in fact everything calculated to render
it a pleasant home.
The store stand is undoubtedly one of the
best in the country, being situate on the great
avenue (the Centre and Kishacoquillas Turn
pike,) on which hundreds of thousands of bush
els of grain are annually taken to market; the
new turnpike from Milheim, in Centre county,
intersects the Centre and Kishacoquillas road
between the store and tavern, and this, now
nearly finished, will largely increase the busi
ness—so that few places offer more inducements
to an enterprising business man than this.
The location in other respects is highly favor
able—being six. utiles from .Lewistown, but a
short distance from Brown's well known Mills,
convenient to Schools and Churches, and an un
surpassed valley beyond, whose thrifty popula
tion daily pass the door. It was last occupied
by Win. J. < * lass, deceased.

" LEWISTOWN POTTERY."
The advantages this stand has ill location, the
facilities it affords fur a convenient and ready
market for its wares, together with its verv ex

desirable in the country.
The WARES manufactured at this establish
ment are far superior to any other in the six
counties, and have a reputation that will ever se
cure Hie patronage of the public, front the fact
of the material being inexhaustible, and con

of years.
The business of Potting has been carried on
successfully at this stand by myself and father
for over 30 years, which is of itself sufficient ad
