Victory IN New HAMPsHIRE.-The Veto
ry which our friends have obtained in New
Hampshire, is, in truth, glorious one. They
have completely routed the combined forces
of Federalists and Aboltionists, which were
arrayed against them. They have achieved a
glorious triumph indeed Well may it be
called the I" first gun in the campaign .
The Federalists and Abolitionists ofN. Hamp-
shire staked their whole and sole hopes of
success upon the war question, and signally,
indeed, have they been defeated. The rout is
complete. Williams, the democratic Cover
nor has been elected by majority of abou,
5000, and the Legislature is democratic by a
majority ranging from 20 to 30. This victo-
ry, too, is the more grateful to us, in that it is
the first general State election ofthe campaign
We send greeting TO the hearted democra-
cy of the Granite State.

An Emphatic Decla1ation.-Mr. Root, a
whig member from the State of Ohio, address
ed the House of Representatives to-day, in a
speech upon "matters and things in general"
the war; the state Of parties, presidential
candidates, the Wilmot Proviso, and all that
We had not the pleasure of hearing him; but
we understand that he boldly and frankly as
serted that there was scarcely one whg in the
north Cor west, in a on-sIaveholding State)
who would vote for any presidential candl-
date who was not a Wilmot Proviso man.
He said, in reference to his own State, (Ohio,)
he was certain, that in the Western Reserve,
where the wings could roll up majority OF
1 0 900, no anti Proviso wing could get GOO
votes. What will the southern whigs-or,

THE DISTRICT COMMEMORATIVE would
take the liberty OF saying few words 10 our
democratic friends on the subject of District

dings of the meetings of our friends in Ons-
low and N. Hanover counties, that Whining

most suitable place, and the 25th day OF APRIL
Tuesday of our Superior Court, asthe most ap-
propriate time for holding the convention. But
the suggestion. which we principally desire at
the present time to present 10 our friends Is this:
A delegate TO the Baltimore Convention is to
be appointed, as we'll as an Elector for this
Electoral District, and this is what we would
suggest when the delegates from the various
counties composing the District are appointed
by the people, ii would be we'll 10 instruct and
empower them TO perform the double duty OF

see no reason why the same Convention can

PASSAGE OF THE TEN REGIMENT BILL IN
THE SENATE-H will be seen from our Con-
gressional summary, that the Ten Regiment
Bill passed the Senate on the evening of the
18th instant, by vote of 80 yeas to 10 nays.
This Isl much larger majority than the friends
Of the Bill at one time anticipated it could re-
ceive. The friends of the Bill, we learn, press
ed IFS passage in order that the same express
Treaty, might also bear with it the intelligence
OF the passage of this Bill, at least by the Sen
ate, the same body that ratified the Treaty.
This we think stroke Of good policy. Mexi-
co should know that at the same time that
we are prepared to tender her the olive branch,
we are also prepared to meet its refusal on her
part with the alternative. We give below the
vote on this important Bill. 1t will be seen
that the only member of the Senate claiming
to be d Democrat who voted against it was
Mr. Calhoun. How long this important mea-
sure may be debated in the House, and wheth-
er it will pass that body, of course we cannot
predict The following is the vote on the final
passage of the Bill -

IMPORTANT BILL.-From the Congressional
proceedings OF the 10th, it will be seen that On
that day quite an important bill was PASSED
by the House of Representatives The bill
was reported from the Committee of Ways and
Means, and ably advocated by our own dis
nnguishcd Representative, Genl Mckay. The
BILL as reported from the Committee, is bill
" requiring all public moneys receivable from
customs and from all other sources, to be paid
Immediately into the Treasury, without abate-
ment or deduction, and for other purposes -
Genl Mckay, in the course of his remarks
upon this bill, stated that the expenses of COL
Letting the revenues of the country, under the
present system, had reached the enormous sum
OF two million and odd dollars that if the bill
now under consideration was adopted, it would
save at least 100000 to the government
The great object of the bill is to bring all tn,
expenses of the Treasury Department immed
ately under the eye of the chief Secretary.

THE FOREIGN NEws.-No arrival from hu-

Of the Cambria. whose intelligence will be
foun3 IN another column. We wish that our
snace would permit US TO give the whole of
the French news in detail 1t is startling and
important in the last degree. Ere this, in all
human probability, France has entered upon a
career not unlike that which gave birth to
Napoleon. and deluged all Europe in blood.
Who can tell At the last accounts Paris
was in the hands of the revolutionsts-
had been shed-Louis Philippe had abdicated
& fled TO England TO save himself from the fate
OF Louis the XVI. With what intense anxi-
ETY. will we wait for the next Steamer from
Europe, which will bring US the denouement
of this strange affair. Well did we know
that France has been, ever since the revoiu-
lion of 80, when Charles was sent Oft, nothing
better than a political finder box which requi-
red only a spark TO bet it in blaze Of politi-
cal incendiaryism. That spark, it seems, has
been flung into the magazine. The French
people want Republic. They are not fit to
enjoy lis blessings. Should the mob of Paris
succeed, bloodshed and carnage will reign tri-
umphant for time, but eventually a strong
er monarchical government than that of Louis
Philippe would be established.
Providence alone can tell where this affair
may end In all human probability the Con.
tnent of Europe, after peace of thirty-three
years, is again destined TO become the theatre
of universal bloodshed and confusion.
A Telegraphic despatch TO the " Llrcrpoo
Mail" of the 26th ultmo, says that Louis
Philippe, King of the French, had arrived ii
England! He landed at Falkstone." If tn
be really so, the revolution is even more Sc
rious than stated in the papers brought by TIT
Cambria. Fourteen days more and we shall
know all about this momentous affair.

CANvAss1NG THE SrATE-The following
article which we clip from the Mecklenburg
JelFersonian, of the 10th inst, will be read
4by our friends here alike with interest and
ljlrprise. We need scarcely say that the
ersonian fully expresses our views on the
subject Of Gubernatorial canvass of the State.
Were the proprety OF canvassing the State by
the candidates for Governor before us de nOuo,
we would be decidedly OF Mr. Leaks opinion
But at this late day, when it has been made
the custom so TO do, we think that we must
insist upon our candidates doing as others
very Justly observes, we are the attacking
party in North Carolina-we have a good
cause, and the better the people become ac-
quainted with it, the more certain will we be
of success. In word, are have everything to
gain by discussion, whilst our opponents
have everything to lose. We have no doubt,
however, that should the April Convention
select MIR. Leak as our candidate, his pat
rotism AMI the success of the good cause,
would induce him to yield on this point The
following is the article from the Jefersonian
"WALTER F. LEAK, EsQ-We have seen

understanding to the above effect
Whatever our own views upOn this uues
ton might be in the abstract, in the present
position of affairs, and in this peculiar crisis
OF our State and National politics, we mus
most decidedly avow ourselves in favor of {
