rorrespOndeDce OF Inc Ifpuuo-
CONCORD, N. II. Tuesday Feb. 4.
u,.,ps EprroRs You are not ignorant OF the
a.. chat in this place has resided for the last
,wentv wears clique of Loco Foco politicians,
ubo have exerted powerful influence in giving
zone and direction to public sentiment throughout
New England, so far as that party are concerned
and whose influence 10 felt more or less through
ont the country. The Granite State is the hrss
20 hold IN election every year, and, with the ex'
cepton Of 1916, for the last twenty-one years mas
Invariably elected the Loco Foco candidate ior
Governor by a majority varying from 2'OOO 70
eOoo even in hard contested elections. Inc
power of that "Clque" is at an end In ssls state
and No man will be elected Governor on the
second Tuesday of next month, In the Granite
State. or come within 1000 votes OF an election
In all probability Mr.. ATWOOD will be one of the
two highest candidates, and, in the end, our next
Governor. To all who converse with him, he
.vovs bis adhesion to the sentiments contained
in bis first letter. as the one addressed to Hon
JoHE r. WHITE and others, is termed.
All who know Mr. Atwood intimately know
him to lie q strong Free Soil Democrat, an op
ponent of the Fugitive Slave Law of September
last and decidedly in favor OF It's repeal. On the
Slavery issues which have agitated the country
much for years past, he stands very nearly on the
same principles as does your able aod popular
Senator in Congress, Gov. SEWARD. We are TO
have q very warm contest between this and the
18th OF March next.
A few days since, Lyman Harris, Esq. son OF
the late venerated Rev. DIR. Harris of Dunbarton,
an adjoining town to this, returned from South
Carolina, where he has long been teaching school,
and where he was lately t0Ted and feathered
because in his trunk was found printed sermon
delivered by Rev. John g. Putnam of Dunbarton,
about four years since, In which something was
contained censurng Slavery Mr.. Harris is re-.
putable aud highly respected man here, where he
is well known, and is q member of family Of
high standing. Northern citizens are thus
treated for having in their possession sermons
preached by northern ministers; and this, too
when the South is allowed to cause Northern
freemen to be imprisoned If they do not help
chase down fugitive slaves while fleeing from the
30 called Asylum for the Oppressed" to the
cold and snow covered regions that lie north
of the ST. Lawrence. Do you wonder that the
Democracy of the Granite State refuse to allow
their wicked leaders to sacrifice worthy man
like Mr.. Atwood, for refusing TO approve OF the
spirit of the Fugitive Slave Law | tell you
New Hampshire is no longer to be a tool for the
South She will abide by the spirit OF the Con-
stitution bat will not long abide by the require
ment Of the Fugitive Slave Law. IL she is the
mother OF He6SteT, CdSS, ana Vo0d0HTy
who, for place and power are truckliAg to the
Slave power Of the country, she still remembers
that she has numbered among her sons in other
DAYS STARK, SCANNED, a LAEGDON, a Poor,
and host OF other good and brave men who
scorned Slavery in their day and were true friends
70 freedom. Their posterity are among us yet,
and you and the whole country will learn soon
that they have submitted TO the Slave power of
the country quite far as they deem it proper to
submit No Slave has been or ever will be taken
from this State back into oppression only by laws
which the State will ordain for that purpose. We
ere all State Rights men on this question, save a
very few. Yours, X.
