"The Ides Of March are approaching when the
ffeemen Of New Hampshire will hold reckoning with
the corrupt dynasty that has so long presided her
political destinrs. After enduring for sixteen years
the destructive rule of party whose meat and drink
have been to do the bidding Of Southern Slavery, the
time has at length when the Wings Of that State
may confidently hope for better things. The thick
logs Of Loooiocoism, which have so long enveloped
the State in deep darkness, have been sci in eommo-
ton by the manly and independent stand taken by
John Z. Hale and his adherents; still the great work
Of regeneration is but just begun. There is yet a
Herculean task TO be performed. The enemy has be-
come too strongly entrcnched in the high places Of
power TO be easily disodged, and if the Wings gain
the victory it will be the price of labor. The Radicals
are moving heaven and earth to avert the Judgment
which their own pernieious measures have brought
down upon them. The occurrences Of the past few
months have eectually unmasked the entire rotten
ness Of the ruling party, that plain statement Of
facts is all that is necessary in order 10 detach from its
ranks every honest man and we believe there are
enough Of these to be found among the Locos Of
New Hampshire to secure to the Wings a very re-
spectacle majority. The political death Of The Rad
cal party is al hand whether the Wings act or
not, it can survive but two three years onger.-
Modification has struck to its vals and every limb
willing allow it to drag out the lew remaining weeks
Of its existence in misery and disgrace No; would
be far better to lay out the oathsome carcass decenty
and quietly consgn il TO the tomb there 10 repose un-
Ill itself and lis are forgotten.
Look at the thousands Of young men-thc hope
and dependence Of every Slatetha yearly driven
from their homes TO seek residence where their tai
ents and enterprise shall be properly appreciated. II
has row become a matter OF course that every Young
man, who possesses spark Of noble ambition, soon
as he arrives at the age Of twenlyone years. should
bid farewell to the home OF his rhdhood and 90 forth
wanderer in the land, preerrng 10 out his for
tune among strangers TO life Of poverty and useless
ness, among his kindred and friends And shall we be
told that State, that thus forces from its borders its
only hope of future prosperity and happiness prop
eTly governed Yet we are told that New Hamp-
shire 10 the "bught particular star" Of Democracy If
This be Democracy, from lis tender mercies.-
LOOK 100 AZ the course OF her Representatives ana
Senators in Congress, which has made the OF the
State which they represent, odious all good men,.
Have they ever recorded a vote in lavor OF human
rights, or against slavery in The District Of Coumba
or esewherel From whom have the advocates Of the
right Of petition met with the most determined opposi-
toni From the members from New Hampshire and
South Cardinal And when the odious twenty-frst
rule was finally abolished the only member from the
free States who had The hsrdihood To vote in lis favor
was Moses Norris, Jr., Of New Hampshire We
might go and detail acts Of these men similar 10
these for hours but they too notorious 10 need
repetition here. Their deeds have been too fragrant
to have escaped the notice Of any observing man.
Among those, who on all occasions, have voted with
South Carolina while in Congress, was Jared w.
illiams, the man who is now put forward BY the
Radical'psrty as candidate for Governor Notwith-
standing all his faithful labors for the party his repua-
ton for moral honesty and political orthodoxy is at
such low ebb, that his friends find il necessary TO
bolster il up by procuring adavs testifyne to the
responsibility Of the and the soundness of the 9th
er. OF John Woodbury., it is not necessary to speak.
IL is well known that he nominated expressly as
the Texas candidate, and pledged TO vote for slavery
in all IFS forms. On the other hand, the Wings pre-
sent as candidates-Anthony Colby for Governor, and
lchabod Goodwin for member of Congressman.
against whose acts both public and private, even the
magnity of their enemies has been, as yet unable to
allege any thing disreputabe. With such candidates
and in such cause, the Wings Of New Hampshire
can hardly fail of achieving glorious victory Let
no one say, ga lille more sleep and lille more
slumber," but in the few days that ei before the
final contest see to it that every thing consistent, with
honor and calculated to promote the end in view, be
done, and well done.
