LOCOFOCO DEMOCRATS
A SPECIMEN NUMBER.


! Henry Hubbard is the candidate for Gov.,,o.
the self styled democratic party in the negbbo,n,
State Of New Hampshire. Hubbard is an old n,I
itcian, and grey headed in years as well as in II,
principles (of the latter he ls supposed 10 nO,,..
seoen) When the country was agitated from roA
TO south and from east to west, respecting the la,
war with England, there were two political no,t,
in existen ce-federal and republican and HIM.
bard was leader Of the former in N. r. Wb.r
then question arose about the Hartford Convention
Hubbard spent much time in getting up meeiuu
favoring the designs OF that Convention and IN o.
cure representation TO it, and even Travelled ey
pressiy frc.D Charlestown to the Capita ortbs
State TO urge the Executive to aid the purposes Of
the Convention; and was himself also appointed
delegate, as substitute for Mr. West, one of the
two delegates from that State. Although he has
favored almost all projects since then, he has new
er been suspected ofabandoning his federal for re-
publican principles. The question is now present
ed TO the people of New Hampshire, whether thew
like Hartford Convention Federalism or Wing DE-
mocracy, The best. That they will decide as they
have done for years past there is no doubt Hart.
ford Convention and Sub Treasury Federalism
i. e. locofocoism-has TOO strong foot hold IN the
Granite State to be easily overtbrown.
Daniel Webster, then resident of Portsmouth
is now stigmatized as Hartford Convention Fed.
eralist by the party which acknowledges Hubbard
as leader and one of their strongest men, Bot
he was no such man. He opposed to that
Convention, and from that part of the State wbRr
he resided, and where his influence extasr
and prevailing, no delegates were sent to saiN@
venon-for the reason that he did not approved
the project. He is now Wing and Hubbardah
cofoco. From these facts no one need be tod
what the inference should be.

COLTS CONFESSION OF THE MURDER CT

The New York Express gives the following as
Colts account of the Giro under which
he killed MrLAdams:--
He states that Adams came to his rooms on the
fatal afternoon TO dun him for unsettled
about which there come dispute. They both
sat down the table and settled the various items
except So About this dispute between
them and high words ensued during which Adams
called him "a liar. Exasperated this he struck
him, and scuffle thereupon ensned. Adams be
ing the stronger of the two threw and fell up
on Colt and cutChed him so violently by the
throa, that he was in danger of choking.
Colt was then lying upon his back on the floor,
and his hand stretched out, it came in contact
with something which ne oncce soized, (but, as
he AYERS, he knew not what 1t was,) and finding
Adams grip still hard upon his throat, he brought
his hand round and struck him the back of the
head; this, it would seem, hardly sufficient to
stun him, and he only rolled rather more on one
side; Colt then struck him again, and the blow
must have fallen on the side OF the head. These
wounds, dreadful as the subsequent examination
proved them to be, were not sufficient 70 release
the prisoner throat; but in the agony of
death, Adams still continued to hold firmly on, un
til Colt seemed TO be at last gasp, and then the
dreadful blow was given the front of the head,
which deprived one wretched being of life, and
released the other from his grasp. Colt then arose
and found Adams corpse
For some time, he says he remained supplied
with dread and horror--he knew not what 10 do,
and at length determined TO make his brother &C
quainted with the facts; for this purpose he went
to his lodgings, but he was not at home. He then
went into the Park, and walked there for some
time, being unable to make up his mind to the
best course to be pursued-he at one time thought
to tell some friends, but knowing that stains
rested upon his character, he RETAINED, lest they
should not believe his story, and deliver him
up to justice After travelling the Park for many
and many atime, he atlength returned to his rooms
and took the dreadful means, with which the pub
lie are already &C quaintcd, to conceal the deed.
