New Hampshire Eiection.-'The Adams presses
have been trying to make the election IN New
Hampshire, appear a great triumph for the coa-
ton. Two or three such triumphs VIII rum all
their hopes-they are welcome to them in New-
England The fact is, that the result ot this cleo
lion has shown much more formidable opposition
to Mr.. Adams in the East, than any one in this
section Of the country had an idea Of. II where
we have been taught to believe the voice OF the
inhabitants was unanimous for him, we find that
the people come within less than 5000 OF MAORI

We have never until now doubted, that Mr. Adams

and that by a large majority; but We begin to
think that even at home his support will be very
slender. Maine has displayed much stronger
symptoms Of revolt than New Hampshire. but VIC
ald not suppose that even there, the majority tor
Adams would be less than, 5000. But things look
very squaly eastward. and We shall not be sur
pnsed it jackson gets three or four votes from
the Gland of steady habits" At all events the
result OF the New Hampshire election Is very
cheering to the friends of Jackson and liberty,
aNu will have a most powerful effect upon the
coming contest. 1t shows how weak Mr.. Adams
IS IN his strong hold. He is less popular there

him.

A SISTERS LOVE.
--sGs..-

There is purer feeling kinded upon the altar OF
human affections, than sisters pure, uncontaminated
love for her brother. 1t is unlike all other affections
so disconnected with selfish sensuality; so feminine
its Development; so dgnifed, and yet wthal, so
fond, so devoted. Nothing can alter it, nothing can
suppress it. The world may revove, and its revolu-
tons effect changes in the fortunes, in the character
and IN the disposition of her brother yet if he wants.
whose hand will so readily stretch out to supply him,
as that of his sister and if his character is maigned
whose voice will so readily swell in his Advocacy
Next to mothers unquenchable love, sisters pre-
eminent. 1t rests exclusively on the tie Of consan-
gunity for its sustenance it is wholly Invested of
passion, and springs from such deep recess in the
human bosom, that when sister fondy and deep
y regards her BROTHER that affection is blended with
her existence, and the lamp that nourishes it expires
only with that existence In all the annals of crime
IS considered anomalous to find the hand of sister
raised IN anger against her brother, or her heart
turing the seeds of hatred, envy revenge in regard
10 that brother In all the affections of there
deVotedness, and depth whichcannot be properly APP

precated by man. these regards where the passions
are not at all accessory in increasing the strength of the
affections, more sincere truth and pure feeling may be
expected, than in such as are dependent upon each
other for their duration as we'll as their felices
sisters love- in this respect peculiarly remarkable.
There is no selfish qualification in its outpourings it
lives from the natural impulse; and personal charms
are not in the slightest degree necessary to its birth or
duration
