The ''Boston Times" refers to the general election
which takes place in New Hampshire on Tuesday next
for governor, legislature, Sc Both parties are making
tremendous exertions. The wings are moving heaven
and earth, and hell ITSELF to carry the legislature for the
purpose of elecng United States senator as the col
league of John Hale. The Times appeals to our dem
ocatc brethren, and hopes "tha friends will pay
particular attention to the legislative elections and not
permit any place to fall into the enemys hands that can
be carried by labor sacrifice The eyes of the Union
upon the democracy of New Hampshire and if sue
cessfu in every way, they certain OF being most
they will add claim to those they already possess
the everlasting gratitude of all american hearts"
But 1--WE have fears (says the Boston Times) for
New Hampshire. The very position she now occupies
with her democracy somewhat weakened by the treach
cry of such base politicians John p Hale is proof
enough that she is sound What other State the Union
could have remained democratic under similar attacks TO
those to which she has been subjected for the last three
years. We have how New York has fallen from
high estate under circumstances far less unfavorabe
the continuance of democratic ascendency Therefore
is that entertain belief that New Hampshire is in
any systematic danger of falling into the hands of wing
ery-of becoming another of those dry and arid spots
which abound in New England, in which patriotism is
prescribed and sympathy with the foreign enemy the
greatest of public virtues"

The NAL OF Laasfslds still attracts crowd
around the court house, though the fact that his
counsel offered no testimony, has impressed many
with the view that they had virtually abandoned
the case. The argument that has ensued shows
that they rely upon the absence of any motive for
the deed for a verdict of acqultal. This Is per-
haps the best argument Of the case, under the cir
cumstances, but can hardly have any weight with
the jury. The Attorney General is now closing
the argument Of the case, after which the jury Will
be charged by Judge King. verdict OF guilty
will probably be agreed upon this evening.

their labors TO close about two O'Clock this at
