The Election in Ncyy Ynupss,re.

We give, in another column, some important
intelligence received from New Hampshire last
evening State election took place there on
Tuesday of this week, IN which the great ques-
ton OF the Mexican war was made test between
he two parties before the people; and the result
of this contest, which may be considered
pioneer or preliminary battle for the Presidency
has been in favor of the democratic party. As
far as heard from, the democratic vote has been
increased several hundred-equal to thou
sand or twelve hundred throughout the State
just about sufficient to keep up the excitement
between the two parties.
This election was considered so important, as
bearing on the Presidential question In Novem-
Der next, that Senator Houston, from Washing
ton, went down to New Hampshire to explain TO
the people the origin and cause of the apnexa-
ton of Texas, with all lis consequences, the
Mexican war, and the result OF that great con-
test between the two republics. Horace Gree
ley, of this city, was depu,ed by the wings on a
like mission, on the other side OF the question,
and met the disiing uishsd Texan Senator in the
arena; giving argument for argument, and Illus
trating point for point, the differences between
the two parties. The result is now in a great
measure before us.
The democrats, thus far, have triumphed by a
considerable majority, and the wings, as Of DID,
have little left but their honor, their courage,
and their hopes for the future matters which
they have had in abundance for the las, forty

MODERN DRAMATIC LITERATURE Some Of the
newspapers have been speaking highly 10 praise
OF a new drama, by some strange author,
founded upon some old colonial character, who
happened to distinguish himself somewhere in
Maiden lane, during the last century, or the
century before the last. 1t appears that Mr.
Murdoch, the actor, possesses this tragedy, and
complains bitterly because, as he says, the
theatres here refuse to bring it out for him. He
hopes of obtaining better success there.
We have no great opinion of this new tragedy,
or OF any new tragedy, or of any kind of CLASH
cal and dramatic literature written in the pre-
sent day. All people who possess "a language
and civilization OF their own, have distinguish
ed themselves, in some period of their history,
by the development of dramatic genius. The
Greeks, the Romans, the French, the English,
the Italians, the Germans, the Spanish, have all
had their own dramatic literature, and have
completely exhausted the subject. The clas-
steal dramatic literature OF the English race,
IN The English language, is ended; and anything
new must be merely on imitation of the old.
Shakespeare and his contemporaries, and few
names which follow in the last century, have
exhausted all the ideas, feelings, situations and
characters of human nature.
1t is, therefore, folly and nonsense to get up
new plays, which can be nothing else but re-
hashes-a mere re-cooking, or refacciamentos.
Such plays may be performed a few months, and
then consigned to dust and ashes Shakespeare,
Sheridan and few others, live forever

The SPRING ELECTIONS Next month the char
ter election will take place for the election of
Mayor and Aldermen OF this great and glorious
city. And in this instance it becomes the duty
OF the tradesmen, mechanics, and laborers, to
look well before depositing their vote in the
ballot box, and see If the man thus up for office
Is one who can be depended upon study whe-
Their he IS capable, honest, and willing to pro-
tect the poorer classes from the over burden.
some taxation which now exists to an extent
quite unnecessary for the regulation and man.
agement of the city government, but merely op.
presses the mechanic and middlng classes OF
society by an over-taxation.
Now, If we had set of aldermen capable and
willing to undertake reformation in city mat
tiers, they would gain for themselves an everast-
ing reputation, and, at the same time, the thanks
of the citizens generally.
Such men we want as candidates for the en-
suing elec,ion-yes, men who are pledged to re.
form viii surely meet with success.
The present Common Council like many pre-
vious ones, are altogether incapable of managing
the city affairs as they ought to be. 1t is well
known Tor the last year our city has been in a
deplorable condition; dirty streets, many Of
which are nearly knee deep with mud and filth,
together with majority of other matters con-
nected with the city government are almost as
much smothered up aud kept from the public eye
by these proiessed fathers of REFORM az the stones
in the street are covered with dirt. Yet the
people pay the same amount of taxes and this
year we believe little more, especially for print
ing and advertisements, as one of its members
is somewhat interested in the profits of such
Jobs To be sure an attempt has been made to re-
leve the city of two hundred thousand dollars
taxation, which is now paid for useless and ex-
travagant expenditure on police. This retrench-
ment has been attempted almost at the last hour
OF their administration, but is suffered to lay on
the table without any further action
The fact is, that new set of men will be sup
ported at the coming election pledged to reform,
reduction of taxes, clean streets, SC. &C., to-
gether with publication of the many abuses
which now exist in the present police system;
and that reform, in all probability, will be efIec-
ted by tie democratic party.
The people want REFORM aud reform they must
have /; so, prepare for the election next month.
The team-ship CAMBRIA is IN her nineteenth
