"That Dcmoci atlc VActOry" In New Hampshlres

result of The election in New Hampshire and asserts that
the regular free soil vote is rather larger than last year.
The Southern Press copies from the Tribune with the
following preface
GAS obliged to the Unions blunders
and supply ITS important OMISSIONS we will cite the best
possible authority on this subject. The New York Tri.
bune thus figures up the result: From this authentic abb
ollon source, we learn that the real freeso vote in
New Hampshire has increased in the last year instead
of diminishing"
Now, sir, am not disposed TO question that this au-
thentc source" the New York Tribune is the best pos
sble authority" which the Southern Press can find for

OF course the Tribune deplores this resuh but, since
