New Hampshire Election! A Cheering
Victory,

The wings of New Hampshire placed them
selves on the right ground in their prelimlna-

They repndiated the Fugitive Law and ab-
solved themselves of all responsibility for the
Compromise Measures. As an earnest OF
their adherence to the position that gave them
such advantages in the contest two years since,
they re-nominated Amos Tuck for Congress
and nominated Jared Perkins reliable anti
slavery whig in the District recently repre-
scented by Mr. Wilson. The last named Dis
tricG was Gerrymandered last year to prevent
the election Of a Whig. But ali would not an

MILLARD FILLMoRE.-We take the following
from the Star Spangled Banner, at Trenton
1t speaks the honest sentiments of the great
body of the people of Tennessee:
"A good man is great man. And wise
man may be know by his works, and
by the deep impress he stamps upon the world
by the force of his character. Who is there
that will ever forget she fearful condition of
the country-when Gen. Taylor was called to
another sphere of action, and when Mr.. Fill
more was called BY Providence, to preside
over the destinies Of this country. II was a
time of excitement. The North and the South
had become divided upon the subject of sla-
very. And the most angry passions seemed
to have dethroned reason-and the country
seemed rapidly tending to ruinous and ire
deemable vortex of destruction. The Presi-
dent of the United States was between two
walls of fire. Fanaticism had gained so rap
idly upon the better judgment of the people,
that there were hundreds in both sections of
the Union who could not be pleased. And
hence, the President became a subject of Vi
tuperatien. But he came into Office resolved
to do his whole duty. And to whom are we
indebted now, but to President Fillmore and
his Cabinet for that peace and tranquility
which pervades the country? To execute the
laws-to uphold the Constitution-this was
the fixed purpose of Mr.. Fillmore. And nobly
has he maintained this resolution.
