The States.


(;rs .acon1l Session, nineteen Acts-none OF any
general irnportance-were passed, with Two Adj
d,esses for the removal cf certai2 State Officers,
and twenty-nne Resoiuuons-none of these OF any
but local consequence, except series recommend
ing the reduction of the Rates of Postage and re-
striction of the Franking Privilege; series con-
demning the Tariff, Bankrupt Law, and Land Dis
tribution; one rejecting New-HampshiIe' share
of the Land Distribution and one forbidding the
circulation of small Bank Notes except of certain
denominations. One Bank-.he Sullivan Ceuniy,
at Claremont-was chartered, the petitioners be-
ing Loco-Focos, and accepting charter which
renders them personally responsible for lis debts
Company to construct Railroad from Ports
mouth to Dover "a few mies) was chartered IN
der similar restriction, and without the right to
take the land over which their Road is TO pass OH
the valuation Of impartial appraisers; they must
pay whatever the holders choose 10 ask for it, or
their Road cannot be built. These two principles
Personal Liability for Corporate Debts and the
subsection of Internal Improvements to the exac-
tons, however unreasonable, of those over whose
lands they are obliged to pass-are now firmly en-
grated upon the Loco-Foco creed OF NewHars p
SHIRE and, unlike some other articles of their creed,
are lived up to. We understand that in one in.

Bridge over the MeIrimac ct point 7 hornton' s
Ferry) where bridge is greatly needed but the
Legislature would only grant charter with the
exaction of Personal Responsibility; and this was
declined-the petitioners being willing to risk a
stated par. Of their property fer tho sake of accom-
modating the public, but not the whole Of it. So
the bridge remains unbuit. Owe have this in
formation verbally, and it may not be wholly cor
rect. AT any rate, it fully illustrates the leading
Loco-Feco principle of NewHampshire.)
The Legislature pcremptorily refused to Dis
trict the State forthe choice of Members of Con-
gress. The Wings thereupon call upon Congress
to perfect its own good work by dividing the State
into four Congressional Districts, in accordance
with the Apportionment Law, and the admitted
Constitutional powers of Congress. We trustthis
request will be needed.
COL JOSEPH CILLEY of Nottingham has been
nominated for Congress by the Wings, against
Henry Hubbard, the present Loco-Foco incumbent
Both these gentlemen were decided and prominent
Federalsts in old party times but Hubbard was
of the Hartford Convention school, while Cilley
led his fellow citizens to the defence Of our frontier
and lost an arm in one of the most gallant actions
of that contest. Hubbard is now Loco.Foco Of
the blacklist stripe, and though very unpopular,
will, we suppose, be reelected, as the Wings of
that State only wake up every leap.year. But
a,b b,,. =
all respects anti Common Sense-threatcn to have
a third candidate which may make odds. Ex-
Gov. Page, Elk Gov. Badger and John H. White,
are talked of by this section. The Abolitionis,s
will also run ticket. Election second Tuesday
in March.
MAssAcHUsErTs.-Tho official canvass of the
votes for Senators show that 10 Wings and IA
Loco-Focos are chosen-three more than quo
rum SO that the Locos will organize and elect
officers to their liking. The Wing candidates in
Worcester County fail By SO to $50 in over 18 900
votes, by means of the heavy Abolition poll. Had
100 less Wings been scduced into voting the Abo-
lition ticket in this County, the Wing ascendancy
in every part of the State Government would have
been secure. Now it is very doubtful. We be-
lieve the Wings can send up from the House the
names of Davis (Whig) and Sewall (Abolitlon) as
the two of the four highest from whom the Senate
must choose Governor, but we doubt whether all
of them will think proper TO do so. Should ihey'
the Loco Senators would doubtless elect sewali.
We believe the Wings have small majority in
the House, bu, whether enough to overbalance the
n
the sixteen vacancies in the Senate is very doubt
full In our judgement, It's as we'll to consider the
State Government against US for l843, and recover
it in November next. The Legislature meets on
Wednesday, Jan. 4sh.
RHODE IsLASp-The Dorr party have bolted
their objections TO the Legal Constitution, and are
busily registering all their forces under it, with
view to carrying the State in April next,
whereupon, they urge they can mould the Gov
eminent to their wishes. This is acting sem
sible part and is in accordance with advice from
Dorr himself Efforts are now making to combine
the old Lcco-Foco party and the Dorrites upon the
same ticket, which would present truly formida-
Bile front. Many OF the Van Buren, leaders Of
1860, however. appear as yet to decline any
combination which would seem to imply sane
ton of Dorrisna. The Registry closes on the 30sh
inst friday and it is already certain that heavy
vote will be cast next April.
NORTH CARoLlsA.-A bill Districting the State
for the choice of Members of Congress has been
reported by Mr.. Bragg OF Northampton from the
majority of the appropriate committee, and, being
acceptable to all but the Wings, is doubtless by
this time q law. Its several Districts voted as
