nation--a gift of 5000 dollars-from town treasury
to encourage an object which after all must be con
sidered as private adventure, is certainly novel
not to say very dangerous, precedent. Such aid
in fact is not that which is required for such al
undertaking; nor such as it seems to us, high
minded honorable man would ask. All that pro
! iector Of such scheme could ask of town, or o.
oth,>r individuals, is the loan Of funds to carry II
into eiSssct-and perhaps guaranty of some sort
that he should be Unidentified for loss, should he
sustan arv. tf the proposed hotel does not promise
to be profitable cucern to its proprietors it should
never be built iS it tnes, nothing can be desired
but the means of starting i, on the footing OF all
similar enterprises, in due time 20 pay It's owhway'
On the passage of the motion, in the Rouse Oh

Oxford, Harrington Of Paxton, Wheerler of Rutland,
Wilder of Sterling, Sibley of Sutton, and Gleason
of Wesborough. Those who voted against post

Many members were absent, or did not choose to
vote at all.
The Legislature of New-Hampshire met and was
organized on Wednesday last Gov PIERCE was
permitted to retire-being driven from his station
more in grief than in anger by the friends of the
administration. His Jacksonsm is not supposed to
be very deep-rooted or inyeterated; and some of
his real friends, though politically opposed regard
him as an unfortunate dupe of Isaac Hill-whose
influence in New-Hampshire cannot be accounted
for on any common principles. Nahum Parker was
chosen President of the Senate, and James Wilson,
of Keene, Speaker of the House. Samuel Bell
(brother of the new Governour) was re-chosen q.
S. Senator for six years from 4th March next Isaac
Hill had SO votes and Mr. Bell 143. the vote was
probably test of the strength Of the administration
and opposition parties in New Hampshire. The spirit
of party is evident in all their doings The votes
in the election of all the officers we've similarly
divided.
