The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1847-07-15


The general ticket system has long prevailed in this
Stategring for long series of years entire demo
cratic delegation in Congressional many persons
to think the recent election there general one
This is a mistake During the last year-that brief year
OF allied rule-he State divided into four congress
sonal DISTRICTS two overwhelmingly democratic-the
others overwhelmingly federal and abolition.
AT the general election in March last democrats were
elected all in the districts first mentioned by slen
did majorites The federasts and abolitonss running
separate tickets in the remaining two, choice ell
iected The late election second trial, and the re-
suit is such anticipated by democrats here
versant with New Hampshire politics After the first
trial, the federasts in the Rockingham district met in
convention, and nominated almost by reclamation, the
former abolition candidate, Amos Tuck and he has
been elected by very large majority In the HILLSIDE
rough district Gen Wilson has been elected by SINH
lar union of dark elements 1t is gratifying to observe
however that his majority is very small, and there is
good reason to believe that district may yet be redeemed
Tuck is distinguished for nothing but his malignant
aboltionsm; and Wilson is well known to be in favor
of all the leading peculiartc northern abolition
lists AS they selected and elected SUCH they will
go into the House and stand up shoulder to shoulder
with southern opposition to the administration
and TO the war; and in favor of dangerous to
liberty, and calculated to strike at the Union itself.
Federalism and abolitionism in New Hampshire are
one and ndivsibe. AT the recent session of the egs-
ature they voted in body for resolutions declaring it
expedent abolish slavery in this District to abolish
the internal saverade and to prevent the admission OF
slave States &c. &c. This Gen Wilson recently elected
was in the Legislature, and unquestionaby voted with
his party in these declarations of opinion They were
met however solid and serried phalanx by the repub
lcans and defeated in all their schemes of disunion
Than the coalition recently formed in New Hampshire
and which has obtained temporary triumph, was
ever more base, corrupt, and more dangerous If
carried out in the remainder of New England, in New
York, and in Ohio, (where the spirit OF aboonsm mixes
itself much with the federal party,) the small cloud
in the east now but speck the horizon, will overcast
the heavens.
But we will not indulge in gloomy forebodings. Even
if such crisis should be precpitated by the desperate
counsels of desperate party and faction, have an
abiding faith in the patriotism intelligence, moderation,
and justice ofthe people to avert every form OF danger
In New Hampshire this base coalition will cement our
party, bring honest and honorable opponents into
ranks; and Notwithstanding the absence in Mexico Of
one of her most distinguished champions, zone blast
upon whose bugle-h horn worth thousand men,
we predict most decisive triumph, and increased
democratic majority at the next election We understand
that both Maine and New Hampshire are firm and I'M
shaken.
