cahon, ahont fortnight fnce, to congra-
tulate The party on their fueceis in New-
HanphiTe. The democrats, he faid, had
only TO continne their exertlons as they
had begun, and federalifn would foon re-
ceive its LAT t.ow in New Hampfhile.
So too, Dnanc congratulated his readers
en- their increaie o. numbers in the fame
fate. Now The truth is, that laf year
the federal;!is had greater majority than
they had the year before, and this year
they have a greater majority than they
bad lalt year. The democrats are GER
tainly welcome TO conloIe tnemfelvcs as
much a; they can with this fpecies OF rea
ioning, nor lhsll we attempt TO diauIb
their meditations on The pleadng profpett

To return. The following letter is
juf received from rslpeaa5le correfpon-
dent
" gafox, 5b Atri 1903.
" You may allure the democrats Of
New York, who appeared 10 fure of the
revolatioa Of MaGacbufttts, that they
reckoned without their hoit ; and that de
mocracy has long fnce attained its 0ems
here, The election OF yeferlay has de-
monfftated not firm adherence to the
good old caule 10 the federalias bur
poGtivr falling off in tie lax democratic
t5alanx. From every quarter, accounts,
not only give governor Strong a larger
majority of votes than laR year, but Lieu.
tenant Governor and Senator's ALTO, who
are more and particularly obnoxious, to
jacobin ablie and oppofsion. We have
yet had no accounts Of the election Of
hngle democratic Senator. MaGacAu
ie,ts, you nay ref aGarcd, is fafe for one
year more 8, leaf"
The laG eafern papers confirm this &C.
count. Returns from grea, number OF
towns and counties give an increafe offe-
dersiifm and decreaie of democracy. TIE
editor of the Hgis acknowledges, with
hgh, " The republicans Of MaHachuls,ts
have again been fairly weighed in the
balance, and found wanting. In the pre-.
fent election, as in every preceding et-
fort, they have been completely difanc-
ed" So much for the high founding
threats of the democrats, which we have
been accufomed for ieveral years to hear,
that they would completely reyolutio,ize
New England. NO While The great
t>ody of the clergy remain firm, in vain
may the rains defend and the foods come
and the winds Of democracy bIow--the
Citadel Of truth and found principles inall
never fall. ". T. E0. Pr.
