WHAT OF THE NIGHT? The eve of bat
tie has passed. The political contest in New
Hampshire has been fought. The cloud i
now fairly cleared away, and it is well to in
quire what Of the night. We answer, tn,
dawn of day advances We know not wha
anticipations others might have entertained
but for ourselves we are not disappointed in
the result We had some knowledge of the
tremendous effort making to overthrow the
true principles of republican freedom. New
er was a contest more desperately waged, to
regain power.
The slave power party fought with te-
nacity worthy Of better cause. 1t is not too
much to say that they did their very BEST
Nothing was left undone that could have been
accomplished for their benefit. The result is,
to say the most of it, a drawn battle" And
this result was only arrived at, by taking up
the principles Of the allied forces" The
" Wilmot Proviso," strange as it may seem,
was brought in to save the slave power party.
This was their last hope, and with this they
have barely save themselves for little time.
We argue from these premises, that the Will
mot Proviso and the true principles of revo-
lutlonary freedom,are becoming popular with
the mass of the people in the Old Granite
State. The people may be deceived and
blinded for while by this selfstylcd Demo-
cratic party, and made to believe that they
are really friends to the true anti-slavery pow
h,tt +o+ e., ;.l,
or they will be over-ridden by the masses,
and their last state shall be worse than the
first.
There are many local considerations which
Will, as a matter of course, enter into can
vass for State officers. These can be read
lily conceived and they are always brought to
bear, blythe demagogue politician. Such was
the case in the late election in New Hamp-
shire, and it hel ped to produce the general re-
suit. But when the great contest throughout
the nation shall be waged, we shall stand
above all such minor considerations. The
$4,000 allies will go into that battle with
tremendous moral power that cannot be resist
ed. We shall then contend for great national
principles, with national candidates to carry
them out. We can then carry our appeals to
the heart and conscience, with moral intlu-
ence that will find a response. No town,
county or State matters, can bear us down in
New Hampshire then. No, the contest then
will, without prevarication, extend beyond
State lines. Thank Heaven, the slave power
cannot then escape the issue. Our cause will
be noble one. The appeal for the country,
will then ring in every freeman's ear. $4,000
noble souls will stand upon the Granite Hills
of New Hampshire, ready to meet the wave
of oppression, that comes rolling on from the
shores of South Carolina.
Who doubts that they will be able to breast
that tide ? For ourselves, we take courage.
We were never half so confident of success in
the Granite State, as since the late election.
Looking at the result in all its bearings, the
causes which produced it, &c., we cannot long
er doubt whore New Hampshire will be in
the great Presidential contest of 1913 -BoS'.
