fe. NATIONAL, STATE AND CITY POLITICS, GENERAL PIERCE AND THE RELIGIOUS TEST OF NEW HAMPSHIRE THE QUESTION SBTYLED FOREVER. James Gorpon Bannerr, Esq— Desr Sir—A strenuons effort bas been made to impugn the sincerity of General Pierce’s opposition to the religions test Men will natorally distrust professions made by an individual after he bas become a candida‘e, when not consistent with his previous acts and declarations; but when a candidate ean appeal to a coasistent re- cord, be acquires » perfect title to public confidence. * A conclusive proof of the entire frankness and sin- eerity of General Pierce has come into my posses: sion, which you will greatly favor me by giving to | the public in your widely cirewlated journal. In November, 1851, a stranger to me, whose name | now appears to be E. L. Flood, but whose signature | I could not decipher, addressed to me, by letter, from Jacksonport, Arka ing this celebrated religious test, in order to deter- mine a wager. On the strength of acasual interview, occupying a few minutes, come twelve or fifteen years ago, and ~ jmduced thereto by the fact of bis having been Presi- dent of the recent constitutional convention of his Btate, I forwarded the inquiry to General Pierce. His reply was received by mo on the 24th of March, 1852. I forwith cut from the letter of my unknowo correspondent his unreadable signature; and, using | it for the address, forwarded directly to him, Gene- ral Pierce’s original letter. ‘That letter and my short note atthe foot of it, are as follows :— Coxconn, N. H. To Cranes O’Conon, Esq., New Youx Oiry— ‘My Dear Sir—You must have b-en surprived at my failure to answer your letter of December 24th. ‘Phe fact is, 1 was ashamed to make the confession which truth would then bave demanded, At the time of the adoption of our State constitution, in 1784, the religious test was inserted to repel taunts that had been flung out, after the French alliance. that there was aiso to be an alliance with the French religion. and the establishment of ithere. By the convention of 1791, the provision was rejected by a decided vote and the rejection was ratified Dy a majority of the people; but a two-thirds vote being required for the adoption of the amendment, the odious feature still retained its place. In the convention of 1850. consisting of about 270 members, the vote to strike out this test was almost en. tirely upanimous—] think not more than six members yoting in the negative. The amendment of the eonsti- tution, in this respect, was submicted to the people at the late election, and although we are not in the receipt of fall returns, there is rea-on to believe that thé State isto be no lopger disgraced by such a provision in its fandamental law. ..

FRANK PIERCE, New Yonx, March 24, 1852, To B.

On the Ist inst, Mr. Flood returned it to me, attributing the delay to an accidental cause, explained in his note. Ileave the whole original correspondence with you for free perusal. At the time that General Pierce wrote the letter | to me he was not a candidate for the Presidency. | Indeed, he had refused to avquiesce in the presenta- tion of his name to the Baltimore Convention. I have never seen him but ouce, never before his no- mination had any other correspondence with him than what is above related, or had any expectation that he would be.a candidate for the Presidency a the ensuing election. ‘Thus it is that, from the daily walk and conversa- tion of an honest man, from his casual and unpre- meditated words aud actions, there is ever arising rome convincing evidence of his integrity—some effectual shield against misreprésentation. The annual election in New Hampshire was held on the 9th March, 1852 The Jetter of Gon. Pierce, as will be scen was written shortly prior to the 24th of that mouth. He forbore to answer me until the amendment abolishing the religious test had been rubmitted to the people, and a conviction had arison jn his mind that it would be adopted. “The wish was father tothe thought.” Though it was not adopted, the responsibility for its rejection rests not vpen the liberal and enlightened citizen who al- ways favored it. I am, dear sir, Yours, respectfully, Oocteber 6, 1852. TELEGRAPUIC. GENERAL PIERCE AND THE CATHOLW: FORGERY.

S—A BASE TABLE OF PRESIDENTIA!. ELECTIONS. We have prepared the followin.: correct statement of the electoral votes given to the various candidates for President and Vice-Presidest of the United Btates, since the adoption of the constitution. It should be observed that at the first four elections the colleges of electors were required to vote for two persons, the highest of whom should be President, and the next highest Vice-President, of the United States. In consequence of the equal vote between Jefferron and Burr, in 1800, the constitution was mended 60 as to require the President and Vico- President to be voted for eeparately as at prosent. 1789—First TERM. ne Sate mecereen t0 73 vores.

To-day the eiection will commence in South Carolina, for members of Yhe Legislature, and will continue for two days, No excitement thus far has been manifested. and very little feeling or animation seems to have entered into the canvass, This is the moro surprising, as the result of the contest will show an indirect vote on the electoral | college of the State, as on the members of the Legislature, now about to be chosen, will devolve the duty of seleet- i ing nine persons, who will cast their votes directly fo: President and Vice President. Who will get the firs State ? . TO-MORROW. Eleotions in three States take place to-morrow, viz :-- Pennsylvania, Obio and Indiana. The results of these political contests will be looked for with more than ordi- nary interest, as they will throw upon the battle-field of November. sufficient light for us almost to be able to de- termine which of the two great parties will achieve the vietory:— PENNSYLVANIA. The election in Pennsylvania will no doubt be con- ducted with sufficient spirit to bring out a large vote, as many important offices are to be filled.

Now that the smoke of the conflict is fairly vlown over, and our fields are quiet again, after beiag the | soene of a good deal of bard fighting, it is worth | one’s while to give a glance at the state of aif | here, especially as those who were conquered, with | their usual contempt for popular intelligence, are coolly declaring in somo quarters that they have won a great victory, and in otbers that the battle every reason for the belief that at the Presidential known as ‘Furs and Feathers,” will be sure to re- ceive a majority ofthe popular yote. Do not let any of your remote readers (everybody reads the HeEnavp, ‘‘far and near,”) fall into the egregious mistake ¢f supposing that there can be any founda. tion for any atsertion of the kind. Ifany whig in enough to bet that Maine is going for Scott, be sure tolet him know that the Heraup warned him against adding anorner illustration to the truth of | the old proverb, that # fol and his monvy are soon parted. Tbe whigs are in such a nice way to lose on many other States, that they can afford to leave Maine out of their category. If you will excuse a remarkably bad joke, I will say that betting on our State would show on the part of the whigs any- thing but a proper regard for the main chance. Our democratic vote is best seen by retereace to that cast for members ot Congress, the gybernato- rial vote being so mixed up, from local causes, that anything like o satistactory anulysis of it is quite out of the question. I think it will, however, be safo to say that out of the sixty-three thousand votes cast for Hubbard and Chandler, about one- fourth muat be set down as belonging proporly to the free eoil and whig parties, with which thoy will vote in November; The forty-five thousand | votes for democratic members of Co: can every one be counted upon for General Biren This | number will be ewelled to som like fifty | thousand for Presidential electors. In suveral ‘br the districts, the democrats did not all vote, for various See Bome were kept awa; from disgust with the quarrels of the ‘‘woollios” and “wild cats”— —which were bad enough in various quarters to enrage even the quietest men. The whigs owe two members of Congress to these wrotched dissensions of their opponents. The truth is, the democrats of Majnoare very much in the same condition that the good book tells us Mr. Jeshurun was—they have woxed fat, and kick. For the last eleven years the whig party has hardly been of more consequence | here tnan the democracy were for many fears in | Massachusetts, and their foes have come to the o6n- | clusion that they can do pretty much as they pleaso. | They have had just enough shaking at the congros- | sional elections to convince them that thoy can’t afford to indulge any longer in the luxury of teariag | out each other's eyes. ‘The effect wili by decidadly | wholesome on the Presidential election. Some othor democrats did not vote for members of Congress because they purposely abstained from taking all ttin the election They did not hke Governor Hubbard’s conduct on the liquor law, bat tney would not me any countensace to the nom- pation of Mr. Chandler, deeming it wrong to They stayed away from the polls, and consequently vbeir votes were lost.

The very idea of any such thing coming about, 1 too ridiculous to be entortained by any one not mad enough to setoff to the Crystal Hills in search of the great carbuncle. If Seott should got 42,000 votes here—that is, nearly 5,000 less thaa Muaioe gave for General Harrison twelve years ago—it would be matter of astouishment to | any ene of us, and particularly to the whigs It would surprive no one. on the other haad, to seo the whig electoral vote fali below that which was given | for the same party’s Congressional candidates—not | only because there is not the remotest chance of | their carrying their ticket, and, therefore, man can- not be brought out to vote in every case, but also because a certain gen'leman of the name of Dante) Webster has not a fow friends here, who have no | | idea of helping to crown the labors of his bitter eno- | mies with success. If there were any chance of | | Gen. Scott der our voto, the Webster men would step in ard prevent it. As a general rule, they voted for whig members of Congress—as a general rule, they will not vote the whig electoral tisket. | Our whole vote, though very large, exceeds that | | cast at the Presidential election of 1840, only by | abouttwo thousand. This is but a smail iacrease | fortwelve years; but the reasons therefor are not far to seek. This Stato happens to be a good ene toemigraie from, as Daniel Webster once said of | New Hampshire. No State in the Union has ¢on- | tributed so largely to make up tho population | | of California as ours—always excepting yours; but an emigration that would not be felt by | | so greata community as New York, becomes an | | important matter to a small State like Maine. | Then a large number of our male population ure engeged in maritime pursuits, and rarely vote. ‘The spareeness of the population in some parts, and | the cost of time that it requires to voto, operate to make the aggregate of our active voters compara- | tively emall. | _You may feel some curiosity to know how tho | elections of members of the Legislature are likely to have affected that mother of discord, the Maine | law. Without claiming any power to ‘ speak by the card,” in the case of every member elect, [ do not hesitate to say that the law will bo sustained by the new Legislature. This is the opinion of every man with whom J have conversed on the subject, no matter what his ideas on the law itself may be. The very fact that Gov. Hubbard, notwithstandiag his defeat, received ono of the largest votes ever cast for Governor in this State, is quite enough to show that the law has powerful support here, while | mony of those who voted for Mr. Crosby also are in ; favor of the Jaw. Tam afraid we are doomed to keepit. The whigs are about to make use of tho apparent popularity of the law against General Pierce, by repreeenting that he iso drinking man, and that, as the law is about to be applied to tho Di trict of Columbia, it will not answer to have for | President a man who would veto an attempt on tho part of Congress to banish intomperanso by law | from the nation’s capital!

The more sanguice of their number claim twenty-five thousand votes for him, while others range from fifteen thou- fend to twenty thousand At my request, a mode- rate but very intelligent Webster mua gave me the following ashis opin on of the probable vote for Mr_ Webster, in the subjoined counties:— Buffolk,. + 6,000 Middlesex, vee 2.000 Essex,. + 2.000 Worcester,.... + 3,500 Norfolk, .. oe + 2,000 Barnstable and Plymonth, Bristol, Nantucket and Dukes, Hampehire and Franklin, Hampden a. d Berkshire, .. » 1,500 DOA ss desiodsdveirss sincsonse. comnsie ses sllT00 I think he has overrated his party’a strength in Suffolk and Middlesex at least 2,000; in Essex, Worcester, and Norfulk, about 1,500, and a little over 1,000 in the rest of the Stato, lowviag some 15,000 whig votes for Mr Webster; while General Scott will have 55,000, or therenbouts—quite enough to give him our olostoral vote, thanks to the stu- bas or knavery of the bunkers. Something, owever, will depend on the result of the Peon- | syivania Stare election. Should tho whigs triumph in that, Tam under tho impression that the effect would be bad on the Webster vote, reducing it to 10,000. The waitors on Providence are too pious to yo against heaven. Sowe people say that the Webster vote, in any event, will not be above 5,000; but] think they err as much in one direction as the more sanguine Websterites do in the other.

Se. The political canvas) is being contucted with great spirit in Connections. more lively and interesting. Both parties are work- ing with a truly conimendable zeal; and every pos- sible means are being tried by each to aid in the furtherance of their respective objects. Stump speaking, mass meetings. club meetings, &e., &¥., are now the order of the day; and the furore and exe tement is fast rising to a fever hoat. The whigs lead off in this game, and the democrats are follow | ing after them, occasionally with a vengeance. The game of the democrats is, 10 let the whigs tuke the Jead in theee gatherings, and then get up a meeting of their own, and beat them in numbers, speakers, enthusiasm, and everything, in a word, which | makes the sum total of arousing meoting. Thus far they have been very successful. and have como full up to their wishes, and far exceeded their anti- cipations. The whig gatherings thus far have been miserable failures. The one recently held at Now Haven was an unmitigated and unadalterated | fizzle—a great ery and little wool affair, lacking greatly in numbers, and incalculably in enthusiasm It was imposing as a funeral, and ten times more melancholy. The epenkers were all of them of a second or third rate calibre, and their speeches \ were but the type of the party—all gas and humbug. Ofthis character have been all the meetings they have held in the State. None of the beget ters of them have been at all satisfied with the looks and appearance of their progeny, and have endeavored to improve upon a second trial; but instead of gaining an inch in any | 'y such direction, they have jumped a rod in the opposite one The probable reasoa why their moet- | ings have not been more fully attended, is, because | of the low, vile, contemptible slanders against Gene- ral Pierce, which characterize the efforts of every whig orator who has tuken the siuwp in Connecti- cut. Nowhig speaker is fit to enter Connecticut, | until he bas learned to deat iu al manner of slan, d cunt. parasols every species of vilification an abuso. Every poor, litile, miserable philosopher, who gets his nawe ewbiazoved on a hantbill, and an invitation to +peak, immedints!y sets about stocking his mighty quiver with this kind of missile; but, had they hatf as moch brains as they have impu- | dence—half as much length of head ay of ears— | they would know that such a warfare is fatal only to themselves ; that, Curees are like arrows shot upright, ‘That often on our own heads alight.
