NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION.
We present this morning returns of the votes for
Governor from 1856 towns in New Hampshire. They
stand thus -
For James Wilson, Jr. 23,2s7
Hills majority, 1lo9
There are about 80 towns to be heard from, 81 of
bly, increase Hills majority to about 1900 The net
Wing gain in the State will be not far from FIVE
THOUSAND as compared with the vote Of 1882 and as
compared with the vote for Presidential Electors last
fall, about ELEVEN THOUSAND
The capital of the State-Concord- residence
Of Gov. Hill) has given Wilson an unprecedented
majority Of one hundred and SIXTY votes. This is
blow at head quarters. Four Wings have been cleo
ted from this town to the State Legislature. Large
sums of money were staked and lost on one hundred
majority for Governor Hill. The Wings would have
willingly compromised for majority of 10 or 20 votes
such army Of State ofice-hoders were in the field
against them. But the Wigs have carried the larg
est majority ever carried by any party in Concord
Boston Atlas.
We never knew party who were so sure of sue
cess at an approaching election, fret and worry so
much, and shew so many symptoms OF bad temper,
the Loco Focos of this State. If we were to credit
their declarations, they have the fullest assurance Of
trlumphing over their opponents in April next They
boldly and confidently, as it the victory which they
appear to expect, were already won. And, yet there
IS spirit OF vlndlctve passion, bitterness OF temper
in their publications, both in their newspapers and
conventional proceedings, not easily reconcileable
with their clustering professions Of carrying large
minority OF votes on the occasion alluded to.
The truth, beyond all controversy is they
alarmed for their own safety, than the pres
ent moment !; and all their staggering in their news
papers, proceeds from feeling nearly allied 10 des-
peraton- Aud why should they not despair? They
have deceived and imposed upon the people, with hy-
pocrca professions Of regard for their interests and
welfare as long asi viii bear. is dificns to de-
Their own experience. When Loco Foco calls upon
his neghbor and asks the favor of bis vote to conn-
ne him in office on the ground that he is his friend,
and has the highest esteem for him, well as his
country, he must make that friend believe, that the
extreme embaTassneats under which the whole
country are suieriag are benef;s-that the prostra-
ourIshing is favor to those who suffer under it
that ne has consulted the interests Of thousands of
chancs manufacturers, and industrious laborers, by

carrying on party warfare against banks credit and

some ingenuity to shift the responsibility of the pres
