NEW HAMPSHIRE.

Democracy, and for having as they allege withheld
the facts in relation to the Wings of the same State
We take this occasion to say-what we should Ger.
talnly have said without t-that the leading Wings
OF New Hampshire have lately issued an address, in
which they take better ground than heretofore in re-
latIon to the Union of the States but VIC had not
seen this address at the time we penned the article
alluded to. Let US take survey of the field. and
sum up the facts.
We have carefully read this address of the leading
New Hampshire Wings, and find it to be, in sub
stance attack upon the domestic policy of the Dem
ocrats-a vndication of the domestic policy of the
Wings, coupled with general statement of Wing
principles held by them, and also with an attempt
to show that the Democrats in tine different States are
divided as to their principles and objects. This, we
repeat, is the ground occupied in this address; but
to render the matter still clearer and acquit our
selves OF all suspicion of being influenced by dis
position to do the Wings of that State injustice, we
quote at length their principles, laid down by them
selves, follows:
81. The Wing party knows neither North nor
South, and endorses ultra opinions of any type.
political triumph by the aid of any new local uues-
ton or ephemeral measure would be than de-
feat in defence of established principles.
2. Union among the several States and peace with
foreign nations. Ours is a high and noble work to
cultivate the arts of peace.
3. The Union of the States, one and inseparabe
the harmony of the whole system is dependent upon
the proper relations of the several parts The delu-
sive doctrine of the States rights finds no place in the
system of Wing principles.
4. The Government being for the benefit of the
governed is bound to provide the interests of all
its members tariff for protection we'll as reve-
nue. has ever been the policy of the Wing party The
improvement of rivers, and harbors upon the lakes,
our great irland seas, is much the duty of the
General Government as the improvement of the
board.
Eo ;J,t;no H. J.l-.
tation of expenditures within the average income
faithful, economical discharge of official dnes by Off
GERS of all grades, at home and abroad, and decided
stand against dema gogusm and faction and entang-
ling alliances with foreign nations, primary arti-
cles of the Wing creed. Let those repudiate them
who will, slight them of importance COM
pared with modern notions of Democratic origin
and fanatcal growth ; but as for US, will walk in
the path of fathers, ard give least respectful
hearing to their last words ofwarnng advice.
6. scrupulous regard to the reserved rights of
the States and prompt exercise of the prerogatves of
the Government against any and all, whether at the
North or South, who combine to violate the Consti-
tuition and laws of the United States. government
that inaicts penalties upon evil doors, invites the
pity of the wise and the scorn of fools.''
We now ask our readers to compare the foregoing
with the following extracts from the Register and
Star. The Register says
sThe Wing State Central Committee of New
Hampshire have just put forth address their
fellow Wings, which abounds in the most sound, ma
tional and patriotic vews-vews in which not the
slightest faint of Abolitionism Freesoilism be
detected. No find there the slightest indI-
cation of desire the favor Of the enemies
of Southern institutions by abusive datrbes against
slavery and shareholders not a syllable which the
Wing party of North Carolina any other Southern
State would hesitate for a moment to endorse.
These New Hampshire Wings further declare that
they know neither North South, endorse ultra
opinions of any type, and declare it to be the duty
of the federal government TO exercise its prerogative
promptly against any and all, whether at the North
or South who resist the laws of the United States"
The Star says:
'The promulg ation of views like these places the
Wings of New Hampshire on high conservative and
national ground and gives no countenencs whatever
the wholesale charge of abolitionsm and freesoi
ism freely and perseveringy imputed to the Wings
of the North by Southern Democrats. Let the Wings
of the other free States promptly and follow
this example let them proclaim to the whole
try their acquiesence in the compromise-their APP
probation of the firm and patriotic determination of
the Wing President, who is northern man. to exc
cute the laws-ther nationality of feeling-their pur
pose to refrain from all agitation calculated insult
injure the Southland their respect for the rights
and institutions of all sections of the Union.''
The New Hampshire Wings, it will be seen, have
made the general declarations about the Union,
and about "a knowing North South,'' and the
importance Of standing by the Constitution and laws,
that we so frequently hear from such Seward
and Hale. They are silent in relation to The COM
pVOHtSe -hOL OHe OOTu 40 H1ey uEeT TN razor OF Lhe
fugitive laaO. And yet the Register and Star are
satisfied with their declarations, and willing to
stand with them this high, conservatives and ma
tionul ground - But the STAR it seems, had some
misevings for the Editor, speaking of the Wings of
the free States generally, says s. let them out
promptly and follow this example-Let them proclaim
to the WhOLe country their acquiescence in the compro
mise So say we but the New Hampshire Wings
have made such proclamation though the Star
clearly seeks to leave the impression that they have.
The Star ought to correct this impression. The Ed
or it to candor and common fairness to inform
the public that the Wings of New Hampshire have
maintained in this address marked and frgd silence
in relation to the " compromise -
Again: The New Hampshire Wings speak in one
breath of the deIsive doctrine of State rights, and
in the next they allude to the importance of
pulous regard for the reserUed rights If the acs.''
The Star and Register have endorsed what they have
said and desire to know how they will re- |
concile these conflicting expressions. We presume
the best they do will be divide them and let
the Editor ofthe Register who is something of Con-
take himself that portion in relation
to the &" deusive doctrine of State rights" while the
Editor Of the STAR who occasionally stickles with
his party for the Jeersonian doctrines, console
himself with that part which processes regard for
