NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION.
TOTAL RoUT OF THE MEXICAN ALLIES IN NEW
HAMPSHIRE.


HAMPSHIRE.
The Old Granite State again at the head Of the
Democratic Column.
The democratic victory in New Hampshire is most
signal and complete Mexican whigery has been utterly
routed and overthrown by the patriotic and indomtabe
democrats of the Granite State They have carried every
thing-Governor, Council, Senate, and House of Rep
resentatves-by largely increased majortes Governor
Williams, the present democratic incumbent, is re-
elected by at least 5000 majority. In the Council the
allied wing and abolition factions, from present APP
pearances, will have but member in the Senate,
probably none and in the House of Representatives they
will be largely in the minority. Thus have the sterling
democrats of that patriotic State thoroughly put down
the base treason which sought to betray them TO the
my, and again resumed their position at the head of the
democratic column of States which are always 10 be
lied on in times of emergency
The contest most fercely waged by the factions
allied against the democratic party. Money used
without stint, and the whole power of Massachusetts
federalism brought into the field to aid the cause
Of aboitionsm and Mexican whigery. We understand,
too, that the wing organization here did everything
their power to aid the of their friends in New
Hampshire, but with no avail except to render the vcto-
hail to the Granite State and her unerrfed and uncon
querable democracy!
But we cannot close article without calling the at
enton of the leaders of the wing party to the pregnant
lesson which the late election in New Hampshire pre-
sents for their reflection. Abandoning all other issues,
the allied factions in New Hampshire-composed of abo-
ltonists and whigs-have made the Mexican war their
great weapon of assault upon the democracy Re-echo-
ing the language and sentiments of the wing leaders in
Congress, they have denounced the war in all possible
iorms declaring 1t unnecessary, uniust-a war com
menced by tie President, without cause, against weak
and unoendng nation, for the purpose of extending the
area OF slavery, &C., &C. And now behold the response
which the patriotic democracy OF New Hampshire have
given to their factous and reasonable appeass total
rout Of the allies Of MEXICO that State! Is not this
result precursor of the doom of the party that sympa
lhses with Mexico and opposes and aduces the cause
Of its counry' If the wing party make no gains in
New England the issues which they have rendered
upon the war. what portion of the Union can they ex
pect them'
We tell them that their DOOM as political party in the
Union, sealed The true hearted and patriotic people
Of this great and proud republic will not rally to The SUD-
port of party that takes sides with our foreign enemies
times OF war; and which seeks its disgrace by procur
ing the defeat of its armies, or their ignomnous with
drawal from the scenes of their glorious achievements
Such party stained with such derelictons from patriotic
duty cannot expect, and will receive the confidence
and support Of the American people
We indebted for the following returns to the New
Hampshire Patriot Dover Gazette. and Portsmouth Ga.
zee-papers which have fought the late battle with
zeal and ability worthy of all praise. as all the demo-
cratic papers of that State have done:
