Of the self-eyldent postulate Of our noble
declarations Of rights. With their vision
bounded BY the narrow distinctions which
mere society invests men with, they do
not feel that the divine essence which
tempers every mans clay, infinite as it is
in its nature, renders all finite differences
utterly ihappreciable, and renders the
highest and lowest in the worlds scale of
differences absolutely equal. Their views,
cramped as with iron by their prejudIces
and their egotisms, they refuse to admit
with respect 10 men, what they are COM
PEELED by the constitution of the mind to
subscribe to in mathematics--that when
treating of infinite of all differences less

There is many a sermon to be read from

NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION.

We haFe returns from more than three
fouths of this patriotic State. The result
is so glorious TO the cause of Democracy
and the Administration, as to carry con
sternation INTO the ranks of the Wings
and Abolitionists beyond the result ofany
former election on record. The assaults
on the Executive and Treasury Depart
ment, eliminating themf for the Wing and
Conservative defaults, and the complete
union of the Opposition with Abolition,
were expected to work wonders for the
party of Messrs. WISE, GRAVES, PREsToN
and Co.
But the people have risen in their might,
and we can now announce to our friends
tho gratifying result.

IN Union THERE IS STRESGTH.--Hstory tells
US that the citizens of ancient Rome were gen
orally at variance ameng themselves, except
when an enemy was at the gates; then laying a.
side all differences, all parties and fragments OF
parties rallied to oppose the common foo So
united, they seldom failed to succeed. This u
Mon forms no inconsidcrablo part Of political as
we'll as military tactics. This wise preccdsnt
has not escaped the, notice of modern Wings

gados-those who have deceived and betrayed
the pcoplc-but the tanatical a5olitioniSts, with
all their disorganising principles, to unite, to
crush the audacious spirit of democracy, and
rear bank and shnplaster rule ON its ruins.
1t is fact, known to all who have attended
in the least to politics. that when Sled and other
abolitionists were elected to CongIess, the wings
raised the CRY "Glorious Victorgr' and when
the Wings succeed in their elections the aboli.
ltion) is triumphant" This is what may be
termed federal honesty! Or is it in the madness
of aristocratic zeal that that party grasps at any
weapon-leagues with any partizans-even abo-
to crush or overthrow tho fanatical
monster that is 50 frightful to them.
The amalgamation of Southern Whiggery and
Northern abolitonsm may be ranked among
the signs of the times. How regularly and cor |
daily Prentiss and Sled work in the harness Of
Bank Whiggery! The lbcrality that Identifies
he fanatic abolitonst with the modern whip, !
leed not be source of much surprise; for we
:annot sec why the former may not be properly
allcd Wing, as he is as much opposed to the
opular WILL and as liberal in his construction
( the Constitution, for he carries these nea
ures further.

The following, as the characteristics of tru

1t is the want of faith in the existence
of this particle of the divine nature ever
lingering in every man, which distinguish

and defeats. This steady
oeliefin the brutality of the .people-in
heir incapacity for seifgovernment-in
