OF the Southern Wing papers are express
ing considerable exulialion over what they
call the degeneration" of New Hamp.
shire. Perhaps it would be well 10 let the
Sooth know what is the nature Of this ere
generation" which so much delights thi:
gentry. The Democracy of the North
has always been true 10 the South and the
Constitution; and has held al0af and de-
nounces abollionism with as stern spi.
rit as The South herself, In The strong
hold of northern democracy, however,
New Hampshire, treason has affected what
open force could not. Hale once promi-
nent democrat denounced and quit his par
ty for abolition; and the whig, taking ad-
vantage Of the division and confusion,
have been able To get majority IN the
New Hampshire Legislature. How have
they used their power? How have they
"regoncraled" The State,
They hare bound her hand and foot AND
HANDED HER OVER TO ABOLITION.
And this is The regeneration" over
which few Southern editors have the to-
merry 10 call upon the South TO rejoice!
Let US see how the game was wrrked
The Wings having the power have elected
Just such men as they chose. They have
elected the traitor, turned aholtlonst, Hale,

elected Colby a wide.moulhed fanatic who
openly invites slaves to run To him and es-
cape from their masters, Governor; and
they elected Clly, an abolition Wing, 50
deeply died in lauaticsm hat he has re-
peatedIy heretofore raed the Wing party
for not being more nti.savory-tUt the se-
nate for the short term. These are all alb
oitionisls of the deepest dye of treason
and hnaicism. They got the abolition
vote 10 a man, and Whiggcry sealed the
" regeneraionn of New Hampshire by
handing over the Stale to such men!
We challenge denial and are prepared
to prove every word we say and Ivy way
letung Southern Wings see how much they
should rejoice over their Wing Governor
Of New Hampshire, we give below an ex-
tract from his inaugural. The very second
paragraph launches out as follows:
Ours is a country of benevolent prnci-
pies, aud, Southern slavery excepted, OF
unequaled liberty. This exception at va
rance with the doctrine OF popular lber-
ty, at variance with our declaration Of
liberty and equal rights, and repugnant to
our moral sense, was en;aied upon US by
the trainers of our constitution, whose pal
iaton for the admission of so great blot
upon our system, was the weak aud en-
barrassed condition of the country at the
close of the revolutionary war. Bot what
can be said of the present generation in
the United Siales2
Graspng territory for the purposes Of
increasing human misery!
Texas has been annexed 10 the United
States for no higher object than to perpe-
tuate an institution which degrades the hu-
man race, and dishonors the God of Hea-
ven. For doing this, there Is no excuse
that will avail our country before a right.
eous Judge. Let New Hampshire wipe
out the stain that has been flung apon her
byparly machinery, set in motion at the
Baltimore convention, whereby she has
been nude to act contrary 10 the true spirit
of her original democracy, and contrary to
true feelings of three. fourlhs other citizens.
While we of the North are permitted to
remain in n southern State, by our agents,
