The Statesman has the following COM
ments upon the result,
THE STATE ELECTION.
THURSDAY MoRNING, 8 o'c!ock.-We sit
down TO write this article with the returns Of
ll3 towns before us, embracing about three
titihs fthe vote Of'the State. These returns
if we are correct in our computation of the
losses and guns exhibit Radical net gain
of zoos, and lead TO the beIiefthat their can
didate for Governor is elected by small ma
jority, and that they will secure the ascendant
cy in the Legislature by few votes.
Although such result is one deeply de-
plored-and especially so at this alarming
period in the history of the country-it is II
source of the deepest satisfaction TO the wings
of New Hampshire, that they have done their
whole duly The presses otIhe party--their
public speakers-the men iii active lte-bave
performed all which could be required Of
them, us citizens aud patriots, TO keep the
State in the noble position assumed one year
ago; and ifshe be brought TO sustain fora sea-
son views anu INDUSTRIES WHICH,, III INV olllll-
ion of the wise and good, arc utterly hostile
to real republicanism, the public peace,& G.
ven to the duration OF popular liberty, the
Wings ofNew Hampshire stand acquitted
before the world Of all blame i'll the matter
In reviewing the arguments employed by
us in defence of the principles and measures
of ths Wing party, and ofthe domestic poll
CIV ofour State. we think ofnothinT to change
no sentiment 10 modify; 10 position not in
strict accordance with truth, justice, humami-
~, and the vital interests OF the Union.-
Were the ground 10 be retrayclled, we should
walk in the same path-utier the same senti-
ments-aGhere to the same measures, Salts
fed, that when the country shall have renped
the full harvest of evil in store for her rs the
fruit ofthis General Administration, the bulk
ofthe people will see, and it is to I've hoped,
acknowledge, Ihat they who resisted its meas
ures were in the right-al others in the
wrong.

The towns to be heard from will increase
Williams majority slightly. So it seems that
in Il vote of about 10000, Williams runs in by
a few hundred, He lacked something like 4"
thousand Of an election last year.
Colby was supported by the Wings, Berry
by the Independent Democrats and the Libcr-
ty party, and Williams by the Radicals.
The radical vote is increased from last year
about 5000, the Wing vote some over 5000 as
we think and the Independent and Liberty
vote has decreased enough TO let Williams

INTERESTING TO OUR FARMERs.-Mr.
Bennett, of the New Y ork Herald, writing
from London, July 2, says:
But before close, word of the grain
crops. Wherever have been, they are su-
perb-yet it is acknowledged that large
deficiency will exist be the crops ever 50
good. Not one half Of the potato has been
planted this year, and even of that, it is
doubtful if there is not another failure
Lord John Russell and many others believe
there will be another failure of the potato
and they ought to know. At all events
Europe will now require permanent an
nual supply from the United States. This is
certain.
