NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION.

The returns from the late elections IN TINS
State, though very meagre, indicate Huboard's
success, (if such an Hannibal victory can DC
called successful oDe,) by about a thousaho
majority. Let Benton and the Globe Proh' ny
this example. That staunch Republican, Isaac

prescription, was driven into opposition 10 Tue

sir thousand of The Democratic cilizens oi iha'
STATE have stood by, and mantully sustained
this old patriot, who wears on his head 'he
sily,rv hairs of a pure and consistent Demo
cratic lie.
Ii is supposed that Mr.. Hill and his friends
have succeeded in sending a sufficient number
of representatives TO The Senate to hold me
balance Of power in that body--and me con-
test for the House is very close.
Now pause, Mr.. Blair, and if Palriouc
thought ever entered your soul, or an unse'lsh
idea passed through your calculating brain, pause
and contemplate this result and lis natural con-
sequences through the Union ind we call the
attention of the "Richmond Enquirer" TO the
same subject.
New Hampshire was one OF the lew states
which went in the great contes, of 1910 for Mr..
Van Buren,. 1--WE use Mr.. Van Buren's name
merely to illustrate an argument-we have no
war to make on him. 1t gave Van Buren,, II
we mistake not in the almost universal Harr-
son victory, nearly 5000 majority. Now Hub
bard is elected, nth rery thin opposition

is not this a voice of thunder to stare these
desperate leaders OF ullraism and faction into a
small portion of liberalily In what State have
these men hope TO succeed if not in New
Hampshire2 Is there one other State IN the
Union in which the party is one-third as strong
as in New Hampshire If there be another
State, name il2 Suppose the voters which en-
listed themselves under the banner OF Isaac
Hill and uniform Jefersonan Republicanlsm,
had not been driven by rash and ultra counsels,
by threat, abuse aud dic,alion, from what was
called the caucus nomination Of NE party,
but had been treated with literally, and
their votes invoked for Hubbard, or any proper
candidate for the hcnors of sound Democracy,
instead of Hubbard's majority being thousand,
il would have been thirteen thou and.
But because these gentlemen, sir thousand
Republican rofers, did mol choose 10 be placed
in position to make Democracy itself a scorn
and reproach TO its enemies; because they desired
that Democracy should rest on the sacred and inn
mutable pillars Of virtue, Of justice, and OF
truth, disaIming its enemies, and increasing
