  A friend has kindly furnished us a letter on Freestone County, from which
we take a brief extract - in order to show the credence given to Gen. Pierce's
letter of denial to the New Boston Abolition sentiments, alleged to have been
uttered by him.

     Troy, Freestone Co., Texas. 
       September the 4th, 1852

  We are in receipt of papers furnishing the most reliable poof of Gen. 
Pierce's Freesoil traits.  It is now pretty certain, since Gen. Pierce is the 
Northern man, and not like little Kinderhook Van, but void of Southern 
principals, that even this portionof Texas will go for Gen. Scott, unless
there can be brought to bear more substantial proof to do away with this New-
Boston affair, than anything yet brought to light.
  After all their efforts to this end, it amounts to a puerile attempt at bluff,
with general denials, without saying what should have been said on the occasion,
and seemingly leaving the imaginative democracy to supply the omissions as 
occasions may reuire, to suit their own views, what he sould, or rather what
they would he should have said.  
                                    TROUPE.
