|states.' Now th.t tie democracy h.ve
achieved aglorious and overwhelming VIC
tory over federalism and abolitionism COM
bined. The wings adopted BEaaA, the
abolition nominee for Governor; as their
own candidate, hoping, by 50 doing, to
combine all isms against the radical demo-
cracy, and defeat them. But they have
been sadly disappointed, as the RETURNS
below will show. llt
We copy the following from the Boston
Post Of the 18th ult.:
.Ne,o Hampshire The returns continue
to come in altogether favorable. 1t is q
clean sweep, and warning to the wings
Of that which is to come. We have ad-
ded up the vote for governor as far as re-
ceived yesterday namely in l5l towns
Williams, PATTI
Berry, 22,56l
Democratic majority, 2,l56
This is gain of lO44 to Williams over
his majority in the whole state last year.
This being the first election in the cam
paign Of 1S48-the presidential year
great importance has been attached to its
result as indicative Of the national issue
next fall. May its angury be fulfilled.
| To the democrats Of New Hampshire
the democracy of. the whole nation are
under high obligations for the glorious
manner in which they have conducted the
contest-(or the bright example they have
set their brethren in other statcs-for the
earnestness and boldness with which they
have indicated their principles. And
what has enabled them to do this--to ac-
colnplish this great work? UsIoS-the
sinking of all personal bickering-all mi
nor differences upon secondary questions
and rallying under the banner Of "every
thing for the CAUSE"
Here is an example that the democracy
Of the Union should well consider and
closely initiate, Il, in 1913, it would win
victory in the nation as complete as that
which now crowns the labors of their
brethren in "one of the old thirteen"

All the necessary materials for the construction of fur

immediate neighborhood of the mineral and the face

The climate in the winter though cold, does inter-

considered the most favorable for their operations.
The proximity OF these mineral lands to the shore OF Lake
SUPERIOR which several safe and excellent harbors

transporting the products of these lands to the principal
