MIR. NJ. would say of the nominations
they "were fit TO be made"-stIitable in all
respects. The nominee Tor the Presidency
was man of esiimable personal qualities,
and of spo,less purity of llie-of eminent i'll
tellecrilal ahilities-a statesman OF experience
and enlightened, liberal, and patriotic views
AS a soldier, gallant and brave-he had
been long enough in the several departments
to which he had been successfully called by
the people of his native Stale, TO test his ca
pacity and integrity. As political man his
nomination appealed strongly to every dem
crat in the State. As a native of the old
granite State, as New England man, So
cally and politically, the nomination comes
home 10 The sympaIhies, and touches the
heart OF every man, woman, and child in the
State, and demands generous response,
and will have it. ..- ....... ........ o.
The nominee for Vice President is of not
less estimable life and character--a long
tried and faithful public officer, having dis
charged important trusts at home and abroad
with honor to himself and country. In the
nomination of the candidate for President,
the South rendered the olive branch TO the
.NorIh-the North accept it, and pledge the
South. 10 reciprocate the interests and seal
them with their votes in November. b..
Mr.. Nj. said the contest in September must
not be forgotten or overlooked, in the gener-
al reJOiclngs. The great contest in the Stale,
so lar as Maine is to be OF importance 10 the
national contest, is to be in September. Let
no man mistake his positions in that contest
Jet no man who desires the success OF the
party in November, and the election of Gen.
Pierce, be found to falter, or outside of the
organization of the party, in September
whole party is expected, and imperiously de-
manded and no individual differences of
opinion or trifing disputes in local and Stale
affiirs, will be an apology, or will justify a
position outside of the party. ---e
Now when the democracy of the nation
have rendered 10 the North, TO New Hamp-
shire the candidate for the Chief Magistracy,
and Maine, lying side by side with New
Hampshire, sympathizing with and interest
ed in her purposes TO elevate her favorile son
TO the Presidency, and when the responses
which.Nlaine hall make in September, is to
lie so potent in its influence upon the remote
States, will any democrat, under such cir
cumstances, with the ewes of the nation
turned towards his native State, and The de-
mocracy of New Hampshire with deep So
iicilude, watching the result, faIter or fail to
do his whole duty, and casting aside for the
time all differences Of opinion upon local al
fairs, do all he can 10 contribute o a success

Hon. NATHAN CLIFFORD was nextintroduced
to the meeting. Mr.. c. made an eloquent and
learned speech. We regret we cannot pub
lish full and perfect synopsis of it, inasmuch
as it was a clear and logical calculation of the
principles of the democratic party. He pre-
sented in forcible style the distinction be-
tween the two political parties as to the fnan-
cial policy of the country, as well as the bear
ing of the tariff measures, showing conclusive
y that on both of these great points of political
discussion, the democracy had from the first
organization of our government 10 the present
period, been the firm supporters of those meas
ures which by practice were proved to best
promote the general ieeHare. He alluded to
The brilliant prospect ahead-spoke of the NOM
nations in appropriate terms, and urged nee
essiy of union of action in the September cleo
ton. His speech was well received, and
would do much good were it published at full
length. -... has ....... ... ..-.,, ,..5
Hon. III. HAMLIN, our distinguished Sena-
tor, who at short notice, accepted an invitation
from the Committee of Arrangements, to be
present, was next introduced to the meeting.
On taking the floor, he was greeted with en-
thusiasic cheers; and notwithstanding the ia
tigues of rapid journey from Washington,
was enthusiastic and eloquent as ever.
Mr.. H. said he spoke without preparation,
but not without Jeehng-a deep, sincere feel
ing of gladness- at the present fattering posi-
tion of the democracy of the nation. He had,
at moments notice, come here TO mingle his
voice with those of the whole united democra-
cy of this great, happy and growing Republic,

response 10 The nominations of the National
