WING Consistency Ia Hsv. Hampshire.

Numerous indications exist, showing that the wings ia
Nsw Hampshire are disearding all considerations but
those OF mere expedency in their efforts 10 maintain

ober question heretofore recognised as political differ.
,oe between parties their motto is success upon any
platform that promise upon any coalition that can
weaken the democracy The justice OF this observation
viii appear from the following facts:
n ths senatorial district which includes Portsmouth
,bs vbigs assembled in convention, have nominated the
candidate OF the abolitionsts, Mr. Cartland-a man. we
understand as ultra Garrison himself on the slavery
,ues,on In the fifth district which includes Dover
The residence Of the whig candidate for governor the
same coalition is openly ayowed by the nomination OF
Mr. freeman, who is abolition enough TO get all the
votes Of this faction, and whg enough TO unite all the
old lederalsis in his favor and il that the
game is about TO be consummaed in the second district
thus laying the foundation OF power in the chief oil
Websterism in New Hampshire on the most barefaced
combination of factions that has been exposed. Il
also appears that the utter contempt for the prnc
pe which separates partes they existed in thi
country by clear and manly avowal of doctrines ans
measures has been manifested in the nomination Of
councillor For this office the aboonist is nominated
and by the very convention which adopted resolutions
approving Mr.. Websters late public conduct crosse
insult could not be offered to Mr. Webster, or TO the ad
minisraton OF which he is the most prominent member
unless we TO suppose that This administration itsel
nothing but mask for the old idea of the federal party
that the people incapable of governing themselves
and that no trick is without merit if it succeed in blind
ing them. If we remember rightly, it was Mr. Jefer
son who combated TIE idea advanced by Alexander
Hamilton in the cabinet Of General Washington, that the
British government the best in the world, and tina
il would not be so if took from its corrupions. Ii
this the belief of the present administration, which still
maintains the leading OF that great and talented
founder OF the federal party and whose authority is ye
quoted against the democratic party! We shall certainly
be justified in saying if Mr.. Websters Mr. Fill
mores presidential negotiations sanction the coalitions IL
which refer.
When the President and his cabinet were RECALLING
themselves the last in Virginia, New York, ant

took the occasion 10 thank them for language so wei
calculated to undeceive the people, and fix upon the rgh
shoulders the responsibility belonging TO The introduc

Bat if the bargaining now going on between thei
friends and the Garrisons of the North cannot be dis
owned and denounced, we must take back the credit W.

new strength in the campaign which is opening
under the command of General Scott, against that
conquered democracy which still repes. in the days
OF Jefferson and Jackson, the sway OF federalism.
Let the walchword of the people, in the days of old
BE- the Constitution is and the Union is equa
and justice to all portions of the people and h,
reputation OF every sentiment that tends TO kege
sectional agitation weaken the ila,ernal affections
