R New. w.HAMrsHIRE is in very wholesome
state Of excitement respecting the Election to be
held there in March next The Radical Loco Focos,
who bave ruled that State so long have been driven
to desperation by their failure 10 elect the man whom
they had chosen to take the place in Congress OF
Hon. John P. Hale. They seem to be fighting with
the energy Of men who are conscious that their time
is now or never. Hale has detached from the party
large number of its best and strongest men. and,
now that tho ice fairly broken many seem disposed
TO follow the example of independence SO conspicu,
ously set before them The Radicals are also sorely
tried by the conduc, of that portion of the party who
follow the lead OF Isaac Hill. Hills Patriot refuses
to support the Radical nominations and avows ire
intention to pursue a course of mastery inactivity
The Wings have only to be vieilan, and thew will
succeed in etfectualy breaking down the party
which has so long swayed the dessnies of the State
I, is certainly curious fact that two States like
Vermont and New. Hampshire lying side by side.
and whose interests would seem TO be perfectly
identical are yet so unlike each other in their poll
tics. We hope that New. Hampshire will soon
plant herself politically, she is geographically by
the side of the Star that never sets.
