The Tide Changing.

tons in New Hampshire, New York, and Ohio
are unpropitjous to Hunkersm. The Old Line
Democracy in New Hampshire had altered the
several districts in the State with view to re-
deem those represented by Tuck and Wilson
from the taint of Free-so and to secure the re-
turn of an entire delegation to Congress-
pledged to conservatism and compromise. At
wood, its regular candi late for the governorshp,
was also thrown ov board, because Of his OPP
position to the Fugitive law, and Dinsmore was
nominated in his place.
Never were prohigate politicians more sig
nally rebuked The People pronounced against
them at the polls, electing Tuck by n majority
of four hundred, and Perkins by a majority Of
one thousand, defeating Dnsmore, throwing
the election Of governor into the Legislature,
and sending enough Independent Atwood Dem
ocrats there to hold the balance Of power be-
tween the old parties. Since the time when
the Texan plotters were thrown overboarj,
and Hale was chosen to the United States
Senate, freedom has won no such victory in
New Hampshire.
The election of Hamilton Fish as Senator
from New York, we must regard as gain to
the cause of freedom. The partisans Of the
administration demanded the passage Of resolu-
tions endorsing its policy on the slavery ques-
tion, as a condition to their support OF any cam
didate The Seward Wings refused compli-
ance, and carried their point: Senator has been
chosen, and the administration has not been en-
dOrsed
Hamilton Fish, although not politician of
the aggressive order, was the candidate selected
by the Seward Wings, understood to be in sym
pathy with them, and was not the man the ad-
ministration would have preferred, though it

election is not triumph Of the administration,
but of that portion of the Wing party which re-
fuses to sanction its policy on the slave question
We do not believe that in any event he can 50
grossly misreprcsent the anti-savery sentiment
Of his State, as his predecessor has done We
wish he may be as thorough and fearless for lib
erty as Mr.. Dickinson is for slavery.
b. F. Wade, chosen senator by the legisa-
ture Of Ohio, is endorsed as good Wing by
the administration paper at the seat of govern
ment He WAS Taylor man, and has always
been Wing, and nothing but Wing, they
say We recollect him, in former times, as an
ardent opponent of slavery and last fall, we are
Informed, he made an "incendary" speech
against the Fugitive law. The Tribune says
he sis Free-soil Wing and determined oppo-
nent of the Fugitive slave law" and ''s nov
elected by the aid of Free-soi votes" Those
who know him, say he is bold, determined
man. never flinching from any position he takes
never firing in the advocacy of any measure he
approves.
Before proceeding to ballet finally for SEN
ator, the Ohio house Of representatives passed
the following resolutions:
Resolued, bV The General Assembly Of The
State of Ohio, That our senators in Congress
be instructed, and our representatives requested,
to use all honorable means 10 obtain an immediate
repeal, notification or amendment, of the act of
Congress, usually styled The Fugiiire slape lar,
approved September 49, 1850.
"Resolued, That the governor of the State of
Ohio be requested to forward each Of our sena-
tors and representatives in Congress copy of
the above resolution"
The yeas and nays on the final passage of
these resolves were as follows:

the more determined Free-soilers opposed this
amendment"
The Senate was proceeding to act upon them
and would probably have passed them, but it be-
came cessary to lay tn m over for the pur-
pose of going into the senatorial election. We
presume that Judge Wade's position is indi-
Gated by the character of these resolves
So far as we now can Judge, the slavery and
party has sustained serious defeats
in all three Of the States named But, we can
be certain of nothing in politics. General Will
son of New Hampshire, was laundering Free
soer when he entered Congress-, and he went
over to the enemy before he left it. Governor
Whitcomb was elected by the aid of Free-soil-
ers from India, but where is he nowl WASH
ington is the place to try mems souls. A SEN
ator who can pass, unscathed and incorrupt, six
years in Washington, may pass through any
other fiery furnace and not be burned.
SOUTH CAROLINA SHOE MANUFAcToRY-We
had the pleasure, short time since, of recording
the determination of Messrs. Carew g. Hopkins
to enter upon the experiment of manufacturing
shoes for plantation use, and their intention to
erect at once, suitable buildings for the pur-
pose. Their factory has since been located at
the corner of King and John streets, near the
Railroad depot, where they have commenced OPP
erations.
The propretors have been fortunate in secur-
ing the superintendent of Mr. f. NJ Bartlett,
whose long connection with both the sale of the
article in this city, and familiarity with the de-
tails of manufacturing as carried on in the
largest establishments in the Union, renders the
selection very judcious one. The buildings
on King street are to be greatly improved and
enlarged, with suitable Offices and work rooms
attached.--On John ST. a large and commodious
building of 81 stories is in course of erection,
80 by 25 in dimensions, containing two extern
sive apartments on each floor, to be used for cut
ting rooms. large number of hands, among
them some sixty or seventy boys and girls, are
engaged in this operation; and arrangements are
