We .are rejoiced to perceive, in every quarter, iu opito of the result of the recent Election, the indications of a renewed spirit and fresh deter mination among our friends. They all seem resolved to redeem the State from her tempora ry disgrace, in November. They have but to vill it, and it can be done ! There will be a Whig Mass Meeting at En field, Halifax county, on Friday next, the third of September. Messrs. Dawson, of Georgia, fones, of Tennessee, Botts iand Watts, of Vir ginia, Stanlj-, Doekery, Outlaw, Miller and Ran som, of our own State, and other distinguished gentlemen, are expected to be present, and will address the people on tjhe great questions now agitating the public mind. Ample accommoda tion will be provided for all who may attend. Can we not raise a delegation in Raleigh ? Wo published in our last the call for another Mass Meeting, to be held in Statesville, Iredell county, on Thursday and Friday, the 9th and JOth of September. The arrangements for thia meeting are projected on an extensive scale, and It will doubtless be very largely attended. It is expected that several of the most distinguish ed ipeakcrs in this State and Teunessee will be present. A large Mass Meeting will be held in this portion of the State, sometime during the cam paign, at which it is' hoped every comity in North Carolina will be fully represented. Propernotice will be given of the place and time, in due sea son. This is the right course. Get up Mass Meet ings, friends, in every section of the Statej. The public mind will be thereby enlightened the merits of our glorious Candidates be fully can vassed, and the old Whig fires aroused. 1 his is a seasou of plenty the crops are most ahuudant and every man ieau, therefore; spare a little time, in which to attend to these things. .

Independently bf the pos itive evidence to the particular declaration which he is charged with having made there the admitted fact, which appears from the life of Pierce, published by the Democratic Central Committee, that he averred at Manchester, on the 20th of November, 1850, that "the men who would dissolve the Union did not hate or de plore slavery more than he did," renders the report of those declarations almost beyond ques tion or denial. " But the most incredulous, surely, can enter-i tain no doubt as to the perfect accuracy of that report, after reading the affidavits whieh follow, and which we find published in the Washington "Republic :" Mator's Office, Manchestxr,' August 14, 1852.

Franklin Pierce say that he had the most revolting feel ing at the giving up of a slave ; that he loathed the Fugitive Slave law ; and other expressions of similar import concerning slavery and the Fugitive Slave law. E. W. GRIFFIN. Sworn,, August 10, 1852, before ROBERT MOORE, Justice of the Peace. Pierce's own denial of the report of his speech, on the occasion alluded to, amounts to nothing and especially under all the circumstances of the case. Of what value is a vague and sweep ing disclaimer,' against the positive and specific averments, on oath, of men of as unimpeached truth as he ? It is in his power, (as a contem porary strongly puts the case,) if he can do so consistently with truth, to deny specifically the language on the slavery question attributed to hhn at New Boston, and to state, as well aa he can recollect, the precise words which he really employed on that occasion. He owed it to him self and his party if he took any notice of the report to disclaim it in such a manner that his disclaimer would "stick." He contents him self with saying that the " pretended report" is an-' KXTIRE ' MTKREPRFStKTiTtAv " VnfF it is admitted, that a large part of the report is not a misrepresentation. On some points all the witnesses on both sides ayree. But Gen. Pierce says it is an "entire misrepresentation." This state of the case makes it necessary for General Piercfr to write a letter in which he shall corkct his testimony, in such a manner that it shall not conflict with that of all the other witnesses!! There are other affidavits yet to come. THE "STANDARD" IN A SQUALL ! The Editor of the "Standard," somewhat puf fed up by the temporary triumph which his Party has obtained in tfie Governor's election, imagines that Iu has thereby been constituted the guardian of the rights, honor and intelli gence of all the good People of the State : and in the plenitude of his vanity and arrogance, raves furiously because we, together with others, have had the audacity to expose his unscrupul ous attempts to practice the most outrageous frauds on the voters of the State, nis deceptive and reckless comments finon t-fi tion of the "Greensboro' correspondent," inten ded to wrong Mr. Kerr, and misrepresent his opinions, we exposed and held up to the scorn of all honorable men. Under this the "Standard" fretted and fumed, most exquisitely, not being able to brook the idea for a single moment, that it had not a carte blanclie to praictice deception and fraud whenever the good of the Party , re quiredit ! For this unpardonable sin, on our part, in the estimation of the Editor, we should not expect to be forgiven, even had he the pow er of absolution, in conjunction with his other attributes as the High Priest of Locofocoism in this State. But the "Standard" knows its con science forces it to the conviction, however much it might now desire to have it otherwise, that it did, during the recent campaign, essay to prac tice the most barefaced frauds on the People. It held up Gen. Scott as an abolitionist, which it knows to be false 1 It charged Mr.. Kerr with changing his opinion, when he readied the West, on the subject of the basis and school fund, which it knew to be false ! It declared that the election of David S. Beid was the only way to get Free Suffrage, which it knew to be false t It charged the Whigs with a desire to get up a domestic agitation of the Slavery ques tion, which it knw to be false ! It charged that Gen. Scott was allied with, and under the influence of, Seward, to break down the rights of the South, which it knew to be false ! Nor are these one half the instances in which it endea vored to deceive and cheat the People. And this delectable trade it will keep up. Its hand is in. "Othello's occupation is not yet gone." The Campaign which is opening will be illustra ted by many such artful and fraudulent devices on the part of the Oracle of locofocoism here abouts. It entertain " an abiding confidence in the intelligence of the People" and that too in the face of the means to which it resorts to dupe nd mislead them 1 No. All we ask is intently aTthe practices and purposes of locofo e )ism. This ia all that is necessary to induce them to reject it with loathing 1 The Editor of the "Standard" will soon see that the People have discernment sufficient to tell the difference between a "fainting" arid a "JiglUing" soldier !

Oi9 platform adopted by the Convention, not because litis is ex pected of me as a candidate, but because the prin ciples it embraces, command the"' approbtiliait if my judgment, and with tliem, I believe I can dAFELY SAY THERE HAS BEEN NO WORD, NOR ACT OF MY LIFE IN CONFLICT." Pierce's Letter of Accejtance. The Editor of the "Constitutionalist and Re public," of Augusta, Ga., who was a member of the Democratic Baltimore Convention, denies emphatically that said Convention endorsed or approved the Compromise measures. He was a member of the committee that reported the platform, and says that, "the language used in the resolutions was deliberately and carefully adopted, with the .express purpose of avoiding any laudation, or any appearance of laudation, of the 'Compromise." Why, then, was any allu sion made to the Compromise at all ? This,j remarks a Georgia contemporary, is a sandid confession, and so far as we have been able to understand the meaning of the wishy washy resolutions alluded to, is strictly true. The Convention never ; intended to endorse or approve the measures jtvhich its members had not the moral and political courage to openly condemn. The whole object was .to set a trap to catch Southern votes. It was a game of po litical imposition, dexterously played by B. F. Hallett, a Freesoiler from the North, who drafted the resolutions with the purpose of de ceiving the friends of the Compromise in the Southern States. Here, then, is an open avowal, by one who knows, that the Convention did not really en dorse and approve the measures passed by Con gress for the settlement of the dangerous and exciting questions connected with the slavery ag itation ; and yet we, and the friends of these measures, who stood by the Union and the Con stitution in their support, are shamelessly told to mount this platform, and under the lead of a standard bearer, who hates and LOATHES slavery as much as the infamous fanatics of the constitution-destroying school, fight the battles of such political cheats ! We shall pause long, and ponder deep, ere we do a deed at once so silly and so suicidal ! IS" There are accounts of another alleged conspiracy in Cuba, against Spanish rule there, Land of a proposed cession of Cuba to the negro government of Hayti, or the giving it up to the negroes themselves, now in the Island. The New York Courier and Enquirer publishes the particulars of the conspiracy and cession, though it does not say what degree of credence they are entitled to. It is stated that many well inform ed persons in New York consider the rumors mentioned by the Courier as mere fabrications, put forth to excite sympathy in the.United States.. -' FOREIGN AIDTILE BRITISH PRESS FOR PIERCE. It is a well authenticated fact that the British Press, and especially the "London? Times," has been quitej liberal in its rejoicing over the nom ination of Franklin Pierce for the Presidency, and expresses Btrong hopes and an ardent desire that he should be elected. This is owing, no doubt, to the fact, mainly, that they look to him to aid them in establishing Free Trade, whereby our industry will be broken down and theirs promoted our labor brought to starvation or thrown out of business and their's in the same degree made prosperous. There is however another reason why the corrupt and purse proud Aristocrats and millionaires of England are bid ding God speed to Franklin Pierce I They, the whole generation of them, hate Winfield Scott ! He it was who dragged down their haughty flag, and made It trail in the dust so often. No won der they hate him, and no doubt they will do all in their po wer to defeat his election ! As proof, in part, of whai we say, wcall attention to the following paragraph 4fm the "European Times," published at Liverpool : "As regards England, public sympathy, it is needless to say, is enlisted on the Bide of the Democratic candidate. JVof that Gen. Pierce is considered the better man. Far otlierwise. He is merely accepted as the nominee of that great party in the Union who desire to push the prin ciple of free trade to its utmost limits." And yet the lying locofoco presses will talk most glibly about "British Whigs." The British Aristocracy are for Pierce ! WHY JOHN VAN BUREN IS GOING FOR PIERCE. , After the last Presidential canvass was over, at the State Convention herd at Utica, in 1849, strong resolutions reiterating the principles of the Buffalo platform were introduced and passed, and John Yan Buren, "the Coeur de Lion of the free Democracy," made the following ex plicit declaration of their purposes : "I will state (he remarked) fairly, freely, and fully, what we expect. - Tie ejpect to make the Democratic parly of this Stale the great Anti Siacery party oftlte State, and through it to make the Democratic party of the United States, the great AntirSlavery party of the United Stales. Those who do not contemplate this result will do well to get out of the way ; for there is no doubt that, when our principles get before the people, so that they can hear them, and know what they are and we have made arrangements for that now that the whole people will go with us. And; our Southern friends having had things all their own way for the last twenty-five or thirty years, must make up their minds to let us hace our own way for a while, we being fair men, and reasonable in our demands." At Syracuse soon after, Mr. Van Buren again said : 4v . . ! "I have had occasion to say heretofore, that I wouut not support any man for the Presidency who does not believe slavery to be an unmitigated evil, arid who will twt use all the power which the Constitution and laws may place in his hands for its overthrow. I would give notice now, that the general judgment ofhtw oaopLa of thia State is, tliut they ewut. agl wtf?iot swerve from Oils position ; and as for c, I shall lire and die by it." Be it remembered, bow, by the people of the South, that this incendiary, John Van Buren, is supporting General Fierce for the Presidency, might and main, and stumping New Hampshire for him ! Can any man living doubt longer that Gen. Pierce entertains the sentiments reported of him at New Boston ? Would John Van Buren 6up port him, if he did not knoic that he entertained them ? THE JANUS-FACED CANDIDATE. Here, at the South, the locofoco party deny most lustily that Gen. Pierce ever used such expressions as are attributed to him in the ac count which has been published, of his New Boston Speech iq reference to slavery and the Fugitive Slave Lftw. In Ohio and other States, where Pierce is desirous of swelling his vote amongst the Free Soilers, they are insisting that the reports'of his 5pee5h-re' correct, and that he did declare in emphatic terms, that "he loathed the fugitive slave law," and that "Slavery is crmtrary to tlte Constitution, and a moral blot on the cltat acter of the nation." We have received a copy of the "Cleveland Plain Dealer," an abolition paper published in Ohio, which has, hoisted at its head the names of Pierce and King. Immediately under their names it has placed the very paragraphs which most ofthe Whig papers at the South regularly publish, to shew the unsoundness of Pierce on this vital question. The "Plain Dealer" de- i clares that these paragraphs are genuine and express Gen. P's. real sentiments. It further denounces Gen. Scott as opposed to Freesoilism, and in favor of the Compromise! Will the South submit tamely to be clteated in this way ? Remember he LOATHES the Fugitive law! THE PROOF THICKENS. We call theattention of the reader to the ar ticle which we publish to-day from the "New Orleans Bulletin," headed " New Hampshire Democracy." Since the nomination of General Pierce, hardly a week had passed without devel oping some new and startling facts tending to shew his unsoundness on that question in which the South is so deeply interested, and proving most conclusively that it would be the height of madness in us to trust him with the power and patronage of this Government the whole of which he would turn' against us, to the destruc tion of our peace, and the insecurity of our pro- l Ta.

No wonder he has clustered around him the Varf Burens" aitd a host of other black-hearted and unscrupulous enemies of the South, aad plays the part of "hail fellow, well met" with them, in this contest for the spoils ! Will the South, seeing these things, sleep ohT " . - . m?1 ' 1 f i . ... I "g i , .5 t ANOTHER "ALLY" OF THE "YANKEE FREESOILER!" At an Abolition meeting in Pittsburg, Pa., August 12th., Col. Watson G. Haynes delivered a speech in favor of the election of Pierce and King. The speech is reported in full in the Pittsburg Daily Dispatch. Col. Haynes is a good Democrat, as well as a Freesoiler and endeavors to prove Gen. Pierce's peculiar fithess for the Presidency, upon polit ical and religious grounds. We have no com ments to make as to the conclusion to which ev ery Southern patriot will come, after reading such a speech : REMARKS OF COL. WATSON G. HAYNES, OF PUTNAM CO, N. T. .At the Free Democratic National Convention, at Masonic Hall, on the evening of Thursday. August 12, 1852. ' J Sir : I question no man's motives, and trust none will question mine. If I understand the call for this Convention, it was for the Free De mocracy, where an "interchange of opinions would be fully permitted. As many gentlemen have expressed a prefer ence for Mr. Hale, and some manifested a pref erence for Gen. Scott as against Gen. Pierce, I take the liberty of saying something in favor of the latter to present some of the reasons why Franklin Pierce has some claims, at least, upon the Anti-slavery vote of the country ; presuming, as I do, that if slavery is ever abolished it must be by the Democracy. In the ranks of the Democracy the friends of Freedom have been found in greatest numbers. It is also true that many of the former friends of Freedom have now left us, as a distinct organ ization, and ranged themselves under the banner of Pierce. Can we jimpeach their motives ? Many of them profess to be as firm friends of Freedom now as in any past time. Many news papers opposed to the Fugitive Slave Law have also given their support to Pierce. Now, can we suppose that all these men, and papers, who now advocate Pierce, have entirely abandoned their former principles and professions of fidel ity to the cause of freedom ? I cannot believe that so many men are now recreant to the principles they strongly advoca ted in 1848 ! Have not these men stated that they are, even now, as strongly attached to the principles of Freedom as in 1848, and that they intend to bring all the influence they can to bear on the administration of General Pierce, if he is elected, (as he is pretty sure to be, by the great Protestant Democratic Party of this Union,) for a repeal of the Fugitive Slave Law, the aboli tion of slavery wherever the Federal Government ean reach it, and the great furtherance of our cause f Don't we find the strongest man in 1848, our Presidential Candididate of that elec tion, amongst them ranged under the banner of Franklin Pierce, the favorite son of a free State a Freesoil State a Protestant State in which Popery has no power, and a Roman Cath olic cannot hold ofiice T Our old friends, I as sure you, know ilteir man, and I have no kind of doubts on my mind but these men will exert an influence on his mind, after his election, if any such influence be needed, so as to bring about a repeal of this abominable law '. It is certain Mr. Pierce cannot be elected any more than Gen. Cass, in 1848, if all the Freesoilers are to forsake the good old Democratic Platform of E qual Right.1! I don't mean the late platform, a djopted at Baltimore ; I don't respect that plat form, nor ja it possible that sach men as the fol- lowing eaa respect it : TJ TT , T , 1 TT - . w . ijuien, nun. xenj. r. xiuiier, uon. 00 an A. ifix, Wm.

They are freemen, the sons of freemen, bom in free States and thoroughly attached to the principles of freedom ; and aiding in thee lection of Gen. Pierce, in fact electing him if he shall be elected, thev will take their full share of the offices of the Government, and set their influence against slavery and make it effectual ! (applause.) Now my idea, and the idea of the majority of the community from which I came, is that Gen. Pierce, is entitled to support as the best anti-slavery man of the two candidates nominated at Baltimore Gen. Scott is a Southern born man. and if re port speaks truly, decidedly) favorable to Pope ry, which (if so,) is to the mind of the great ma jority of Americans, decidejdly objectionable ; while Gen. Pierce's New Hampshire friends, as was fully shown by their vofjes against abolish ing the Anti-Catholic provision in their State Constitution, are determined supporters of Pro testantism and opponents of Popery. And bo, beyond question, is Pierce himself as his good old father was before him, who assisted in the framing and adopting the Constitution by which Papists are excluded from office in that State. As additional proof that General Pierce is at heart strongly Anti-Papist in his sympathies and connections, take the fact that the Demo cratic party of New Hampshire, of which he has long been the leader, have long had the whole coptrol of the government of that State, and managed matters as they pleased ; and, instead of amending the Constitution, so as to do away with the exclusion of Catholics from offices, have always maintained it as it is, and Catholics can now no more hold offices there, than slaves at the SouthT and Indians. Will they stand any better chance to obtain Federal offices from Gen. r wn Pierce, when he shall have heen elected Presi- the "Urangemen, "Order of United Americans and "Sons of America" are supporting General Pierce, on the ground of his position in respect to Popery. This is a Protestant country ; and I, sir, think that General Pierce is entitled to the support, so far at least as any such question is concerned, of all Protestant Americans. Again, Sir, it is in a good measure owing to the Democratic party that the barbarous prac tice of flogging in the Navy has been abolished; and if the names I have given you, of Anti-Slavery men who now support General Pierce.'and the other facts I have stated, are not conclusive Sroof that tha Democratic party and its candi ateare the party and candidate of progres and Protestantism, or human freedom and human rights, and the party and candidate from whom we must look for the abolition of slavery, I do not know what can constitute such proof. I think nothing more is; necessary to show that the claims of Genejfal Pierce to the Anti-Slavery men and Protestants are far superior to those of the Whig candidate. ; A dissolution of the Union has been spoken of. I am a Democrat,: in favor of all laws and systems conferring the greatest amount of good on the greatest number. Therefore, I consider the perpetuity of this Union of more importance to the spread of civil and religious . liberty, and the final abolition of i slavery of every kind, throughout the whole world, than even the im mediate or; final abolition of the slaverv of the limited number of the African race in our Sou thern States, strongly as I desire their immedi ate emancipation. The eyes of the oppressed and enslaved hundreds of millions of other lands, are turned; to ouf country, as their last and on ly hope, and as the- only land of all God's earth where the ; victim; of foreign oppression and the exiled patriot can find, a refuge and a home.
