New Hampshire Politics.

The politics of this State, for the past few
weeks has demonstrated an important truth,
that it would become all politicians, in partlc-
lar to bear in mind viz that an ''aIl things
TO all men" policy, although sometimes caIcu-
lated to make one popular for period, must
eventually redoand to the lasting discredlt and
discontinue of those who attempt to use 1t to
Their advantage. The dag for non-committal-
ISM on the part of candidates for high and hon
orable stations. has passed The people re-
luige the positions of candidates for Office, to
be well defned-to know, at least. that their
nationality is unquestioncd before bestoving
npon them their snifrages. This is well--for
IN our opinion much mischief results from the
course of politicians in endeayoring to ''curry
favor with all classes. The practice, we are
sorry TO say, is not confined entirely 10 our
eers0ti1e wing friends. although it originated
Win them. To this course, above any other,
may be traced the unnatural position which
Inc slavery question assumes in cur State, as
well as national politics. Through the foster
ing and nursing, and shilling and cooing'' Of
aspirants for office, insignificant matters have
expanded and enlarged, until they arc made to
become the test, the true tombstone of political
Orthodoxy. This is TO be deplored.
But we haze INDUCED in more general re-
marks than we intended-which have been
naturally suggested, however, by our subject,
TO which we will return. The New Hamp-
shire democrats. from appearances, have been

Massachusetts Politics.

The utmost efforts of the coalitionists, we
arc glad to perceive, have failed 10 secure the
election of Mr. Sumner That extraordinary
influences have been brought TO bear upon the
dlssenters, for the accomplishment of this OBJ
jet, is very apparent. The Senate, without
much difficulty, succeeded in etfecting an cleo
tion-but this seemed not to affect the result
in the House-then the election of Senator for
the short term was called up, with view If
trying the efficacy of a new mode of tactics
Mr.. Rantoul was elected for the short term by
the Senate, and afterwards by the House
The balloting for the long term Senator is to
be again resumed to-day. We very much
mistake the grit of those who have up to this
time remained true TO their national instincts,
II they are to be caught by any such chat as
the above. We do not believe that there was
any real or implied bargain between the coali-
ton parties, by which the free soilers can
claim so much of their allies.
Throughout the ballotings it will be noticed
that TWO ballots have been thrown for S. C.
Phillips. These were from Palfrey men, IN
doubtedly-who are only awaiting an oppor-
tunity of giving in their support for Sumner,
when their votes will effect cholce-or per-
haps they are in the market for bid. Three
more of the Spartan band must be operated
upon before an election can be had We await
the result with fearful forebodings and appre-
tensions, lest such irresistible, overpowerng
influences may be brought to bear upon them
as to oysrwhelm and overcome them

IMPORTANT TO SHIPPERs.-The following
extract from letter has been published by
Elwood Walter, Secretary of the board Of
underwriters: .. .t. .uH.
K For some time past, some vessels from
the Northeastern ports have made some pro-
voking losses by carrying unreasonable bur
dens ON deck. The Board of Underwriters
ofNew Orleans had a meeting, and pissed
resolution, of which a copy is enclosed.
Whereas, some vessels from Eastern
ports in The United States and especially from
Boston, carrying many tons OF stone, and
other heavy property OH the decks, which
cause the decks to open and leak, and there
by damaging the cargoes, without arising
from bad weather or perlls of the sea-
Therefore be it
Resolved, That from and after the first of
February, 1851, no cargo will be considered
as insured by the companies and agencies
composing this board, subject to partial loss
or particular average, by any vessel which
carries stone or heavy deck loads from any
porl in the United States 10 New Orleans

LIABILITY OF NEWSPAPER SuBscRrRrRs
The liability of subscribers to newspaper and
periodicals is not, perhaps, in many cases
duly considered. A case has recently been
decided, which will awaken attention 10 the
subject. MIR. Jasper Harding, of PhiIadeI.
PIMA, not long since recovered a large sum
(about 500, we believe. J for subscription
to the PENNSYLVANIA Inquirer Of man in
Rhode Island. The circumstances were
lhese-the subscriber took the paper some
lime and then sent notice of disconrinuance,
,ratho"t tor1earding the money fer payment.
The publisher took no notice OF this, nor OF
several subsequent notices Of refusal TO take
the papers from the post office. The resul,
was, that, Notwithstanding the Rhode Islander
did not receive the paper for several years,
Yet he was forced TO pay Mr.. Harding the
the raole amount up 10 The pcriod claimed b.
the bill. .--...- ...-
Were the laws enforced more frequently
in cases of delinquent subscribers of long
standing, such heavy losses would moi occrne
so often to publishers. An occasional az
ample may have good effect.

| There is at this time general COMPLAIN,
throughout the country of the scarcity of small
silver coins. We have entertained this opin-
ion for some time past, as far as ourself is con-
cerned, but supposed it nothing out of the or
binary experience of an editor 1t seems, how
ever, that we are not alone.
The cause of the scarcity is thought 10 be
the higher value of silver coin as compared with
gold,-thls fact, and the increased plentifulness
of gold, causing the silver to be bought up and
melted by the jewellers. We can attest that
the jewellers have melted up none of ours, as
we have found no difficulty in doing this with
out having to meet very large bill for char
coal, either. The n Y Jour. of Commerce re-
marks upon this scarcity =
"There is more call for specie from the
South, some has already been sent, and between
two and three hundred thousand dollars will 90

mand from that quarter has sprung, in part, if
not wholly, from the interior, and is to supply
the vacancy which has been created bv The sale
of the silver coin
1t is matter of some surprise to mercantile
men here, that Congress should make no pro-
vision to prevent the drainage of silver and in
crease the coinage Of change. The Mint in
Philadelphia spends the chief of its force upon
double eagles, while the sub-treasury here must
buy the change to use at its counter.
The most natural remedy-to make gold the
legal standard of value, and TO debase the silver
currency, so that its intrinsic value shall be
lessened, and shipments of change thus preven-
ted-has not met, as far as we can learn, with
a single objection

DEATH OF AUDUBON, THE ORNIrHoLoGIsr-
Mr.. Audubon, the distinguished Ornitholo.
gist, died at Harlem, near New York, on Mon
day morning. His age was between 70 and
80. He has for some time been suffering un-
der loss of sight. Audubon has had few equals
in fame and merit among the naturalists, who
have made this country the field of their in
vestigatIons. His splendid work on the birds
of America, is among the most priced orna-
ments of the principal libraries Of Europe as
well as America. He was adventurous and
intrepid in his pursuit of science and the mar.
rative of his excursions is written in simple
flowing style, indicating 10 ordinary power of
description. Audubon was of French descent.
Some of the best and most eulogistic critiques
upon his Ornithological writings, appeared in
Blackwood's Magazine and were written by
Prof. Wilson, Transcript.
