ThG'ReSult

Of the Election is highly suspicious to the cause
of Freedom. New Hampshire has second
time loudly rebuked the scheme of annexation,
and the little clique of Dictators located in
Concord, and owned body and soul by the slave
drivers at the South, who fondly thought they
could manage the yeomanry of the old Granite
State. Woodbury. is defeated by majority of
at least 700. The party managers are wofulIy
disappointed They had put means in opera
ton which they were confident would bring out
the entire strength of the party Circulars
were sent by thousands to oflice-holders and ex-
pectants in all parts of the State, ordering them
to bring every subservient to the polls; the mails
were loaded with Patriot Extras, filled with all
manner of vulgar abuse of "Thc Traitor HaIe;''
the lowest passions Of the ignorant and bigoted
were appealed to without stint; and no effort
was spared that ingenuity could devise or money
carry out, to secure the election of the pro-sla-
very candidate The leaders were confident Of
success But alas they were doomed to bitter
disappointment. They have done all that can
be done, and yet they are farther than ever from
their object Well may they give it up in des-
pair as a hopeless case, for the days of pro-sla
very rule in New Hampshire are indeed num-
bered and finished. 1t is now demonstrated and
may be set down as fixed fact, that neither
John Woodbury. nor any other man in his posi-
ton, can ever be sent to Congress from thi;
State. The power of slav eocracy in New Hamp
shire is effectualy broken Let the friends o
freedom take courage, and enter with new vgol
into the contest Truth and justice shall ye
triumph.
A new election will probably be ordered in
the course Of next month Now is the time tC
ply all the means of public agitation and pc
the people thoroughly walked up to the grea
issues involved in the present contest. Proper
effort will secure still greater majority agains

power of our slaveocratic politicians Let every
man be at work.

Social and Individual Sins,

its tendency but the practice of is scarcely deserving
of passing notice, when the guilt is divided among

between the thing itself and the practice of it. The

God has taught us that we act as individuals that we
sin individuals, and Judged as individuals. That
which is sinful when committed by one person. is
equally when practced by millions. That which is
wrong in itself, is no less so though the whole world
share in the guilt By connecting ourselves with a
church party do not loose our individuality but
are responsible for actions as though acted

sanction support to church party that is sustain

CHOICE SELECTIONS.
Sadness.

There is mysterious feeling that frequently
passes like cloud over the spirits. 1t comes up
on the soul in the busy buste Of life, TO the So
cal circle in the calm and silent retreats Of soli-
tude. Its powers are alike supreme over the
weak and iron hearted AT one time tits caused
by the fitting of single thought across the
mind A sound will come booming over the
ocean of memory, gloomy and solemn as the
death knoll, overshadowing all the bright hopes
and sunny feelings of the heart. Who can de-
sire it, and yet who has not felt its bcwildering
influence? Still il is a delicious sort of sorrow;
and like cloud dimning the sunshine on the riv-
Ier,aIthough causing momentary shade OF gloom,
it enhances the beauty of returning brightness.

OREGON.

Slavery has been abolished in Oregon. P. H.
Burnet, citizen of that territory, in letter to
the last Platte Argus, says: n
"The legislature have passed an act declaring
that Slavery shall not exist in Oregon, and the
owners of slaves who bring them here are allow
ed two years TO take them out of the country,an
in default the slaves are free. The act prohibits
free negroes or muattoes from settling or re.
naming in this country, and requires them tc
leave in two years; and in default to be hteC

An afray took place yesterday, about one o.

in-law, Hayden P. Bliss, which resulted in the
death of the latter. These two men resided in
the neighborhood of Mount Braddock, Fayette

them, and that they had quarrelled with and
threatened each other on previous occasions

A Case OF rIesmerisn,.

We learn that yesterday a tumor or cancer
was cut from the breast of Mrs. North, of this
city, by Dr. Kimball. Before proceeding 10 the
operation, Mrs. North was put into magnetic
state by Mr.. Gleason, overseer of the Mddesex
wool shop The operation occupied some ff-
teen minutes, during which time the lady gave
no intimatlon that she suffered pain and after
The operation was performed, and she had become
perfectly conscious, she said she was panied ve-
ry little, though she had sort of dreamy, nds-
nct notion all the while that the operation was
going on. We obtained these facts from DR..
Kimball. Several persons were present all the
time, among whom was the Rev. Mr.. Remington.
All of the parties are of the highest respecta.
bity. and are known MS among our best citizens
We give the above facts to show that mesmerism
is no humbug, as many of us have supposed.

We try to deceive ourselves as TO the short

large por;ons-years and centuries. The sue
cession of minutes seems like the swift following
of waves IN a brook, and year or an age is like
vast sea, the motion of which escapes our no.

seems TO protect his neighbor, just as in an army

COMMseIs for the Young.

Never be cast down by trihes. Ifa spider breaks
his thread twenty times, twenty times will he
mend it again. Make up your mind to do q
thing, and you will do it. Fear not If trouble
comes upon you; keep up your spirits, though
the day be dark one:
Troubles never stop forever,
The darkst day will pass away.
If the sun is going down, look up at the stars;
if the earth is dark, keep your eyes on heaven!
With Gods presence and Gods promise man
or child may be cheerful.
Never despair, when fog's in the air!
A sunshny morning will come without warning.
Mind what you run after! Never be content
with bubble that will burst, or firework that
will end in smoke and darkness. Gel that which
you can keep, and that which is worth keeping.
Something sterling that will stay
When gold and silver fly away.
Fight hard against hasty temper Anger will
come, but resist it stoutly. A spark may set
house on fire. A fit of passion may give you
cause to mourn all the days of your life. Never
revenge an injury.
! He that revenges knows no rest;
The meek possess peaceful breast.
If you have an enemy, act kindly to him and
make him your friend. You may not win him
over at once, but try again. Let one kindness
be followed by another, till you have compassed
your end. By little and little, great things are
completed.
Water falling day by day,
Wears the hardest rock away.
And so repeated kindness softens a heart Of
stone.
Whatever you do, do it willingly. A boy that
lis whipped to school never learns his lesson well.
A man that is compelled TO work cares not how
badly it is performed He who pulls of his cost
cheefully, strips up his sleeves in earnest, and
sings while he works, is the man for me.
A cheerful spirit gets on. quick;
A grumbler in the mud will stick.
Evilihoughs are worse enemies than lions and
tigers, for we can keep out Of the way Of wild
beasts, but bad thoughts win their way every
where. The cup that is full will hold no more;
keep your heads and hearts full Of good thoughts,
that bad thoughts may find no room 70 enter.
