DEMOCRATIC TRIUMPHS.
From the Missouriaa.

Intelligence of triumph after triumph pours in upon us, foreshadowing clearly what will be the voice of the '.sober second thought" at the coming fall elections.
 In our last we gave an account of the great Democratic triumph in the hitherto federal city of New Orleans-a triumph achieved directly under the nose of MT. Clay, and while he and his coadjuators were making electioneering speeches to the people of that city.
 We continue the list to day by putting on record some further triumphs-one which is worth whole season of aohig steamboat ro- ting.

NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION

NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION
 All the towns in the State, except eighteen, have been heard from, and the following is the result for governor
 Steele (democrat) 25,593 Colby (whig) 14,640 Hoil (abolition) 5,5S5 White (conservative) l,651 Scattering 287
 The democratic candidate leads the whig 10,945; and whig and others combined, ,422. In the same towns last year, the democratic majority over all the other candidates was only ,426. The democratic gain this year is, therefore, 1896, which will be increased in the towns remaining to be heard from.- The aggregate vote this year exceeds that of the last year, as far as heard from, 3,808.- The eighteen towns remaining to be heard from will make the democratic majority over all, this year, about $500. Last year it was only fifteen hundred and odd.
 The five counsellors will all be democrats Eleven of the twelve senators will be demo- crots; and the other one will be an abolition conservative-scattering-whig, as all those par ties had hand, or a finger, in electing him j; his majority being only l68 in the district. The democratic majority in the lower branch of the legislature, as far as heard from, IS 70, which the IS towns remaining to be heard from will increase. So much for New Hampshire. Let other States do likewise ]; but not too soon, else there will be danger of the whigs taking up democrat as an '' available" and running him for the presi- dency, if they can find one sssoft enough' to be ambitious of defeat.
