Hampshire would reach $4,000, and his majority

This is probably the largest relative vote given for
the democratic candidate in any State, Texas, per-
haps, excepted.
The Legislature has nearly completed the second
week of its sessien. Thus far, the election of u
S Senator, on Thursday last, to take the place Of
P. Hale on the 4th of March next, has been the
principal matter of interest. The result nhave
alre ady received by telegraph The election OF Hon.
Charles G.. Anterior, Of Nashville, the successful
candidate, was previously predicted by the HERALD.
He was nominated In the Democratic Legislative
Caucus by vote of SO, to 60 for Hon. j. S.
Wells, OF Exeter, and two scattering. In the
Houee, Mr.. Anterior received l48; Ira Perley, of
Concord, whig, 81; John Preston, of New Ipswich,
free soil, 27 John p Hale, of Dover, late free soil
candidate for the Presidency, 4; John s Wells, 4;
scattering, 8 Total number Of votes, 26S. Ather-

had ten votes, including that of Mr.. Wells who is
the President of that branch, and Mr.. AS demo.
cratic competitor in caucus; Aessrs Perlsy and
Preston, one each.
Mr.. Atherton's election is generally looked upon
as peculiarly fortunate one to the democratic
party in view of the strength which it will give to
General Piercs's administration. Mr. A has already
served twelve years in Congress-from 1887 to
184 in the House. and thence to lS49 in the Senate

Of our New England people are, at heart sound in

times they deceived, it is true but eventually
