THE Democracy OF New HAMPsHIRE.-
Would, says the Washington Telegraph, that
the Wings could bear sway long enough in
New Hampshire to remove from it so dark a
stain as that of prescription for religions
sake,
In the constitution ofthatState, part ., sect
ion 1, occurs the following:
Every member of the House of Represen-
tatives shall be chosen by ballot; and for two
years at least next preceding his election
have been an inhabtant of this State; shall
be at the tine of his election an inhabita mt
of the town, parish or place he may be chosen
to represent; shall be of the PROTEST.
ANT RELIGION; and shall cease to repre-
sent such town or place Immediately on his
ceasing to be qualified as aforesaid.
Again: Part 2, section:
Procided, aeUertheieSS, That no person shall
be capable of being elected a Senator, who
is not of the PROTESTANT RELIGION.
A gain: Part =, section AZ:
And no person shall be eligible to this
office (Governor) unless at the time of his
election he shall have been an inhabitant
of this State for seven years next preceding,
and unless he shall be of the age of thirty
years: and unless he shall be OF the PROT
ESTANT RELIGION.
Our Democratic friends are ever loud in
their praise Of New Hampshire Democracy,
and OF their Influential Candy-date whom the
record shows never lifted his voice in the
Convention to modify their intolerant State
Constitution. And not only this, but it is ,,,y
ats party that Il is continued! At the recent
vote upon the test question the strong IVhig
t0,caS Cotd for abo'iStiag the test and tie strong
Democratic ones far retaining 1t. The result
was that it was retained by Democratic: votes!
and Gen. Pierce'S olcn tO,cnshiq Uoted more than
four t. one III tacOr Of ii deing retained.
The list below, will show the votes, by
towns, and show, at whose door lies the sin
of retention Of this proscriptive clause in
their Constitution.

Worth IseGdjn.l

In the Freesoil Convention lately held at
Pittsburgh, Col. Hayne, who is an ardent
Democrat as well as Freesoler, made a
speech from which we take the following
extract and give it to our readers without
comment:
This list Of the friends of freedom yea
lously support Mr.. Pierce, and think yous
sir, that these men can be induced to pander
to slavery! Nerer! They are ireemen, the
sons of freemen, born in free States, and
thoroughly attached to the principles of free
dom and aiding in the election Gen. Pierce
in fact eiecting him if he shall be elected, they
will take their full share of the Offices Of the
Government, and set their influence against
slavery and make it effectual! (Applause).
Now my idea. and the idea of the majority
OF the community from which | came, is that
Gen. Pierce is entitled to support as the best
anti-slavery man OF the two candidates nom-
mated at Baltimore.
Gen. Scott is Southern born man, and,
if report speaks truly, decidedly favorable to
Popery, which Gi so) is, to the mind of the
great majority OF Americans, decidedly objec-
tionable while Gen. Pierce's New Hanp-
shire friends, as was fully shown by their
votes against abolishing the Anti-Catholic
provision in. their State Constitution, are de-
termined supporters of Professionalism and op-
ponents of Popery. And so, beyond ques-
ton, is Gen. Pierce himself-ds his good old
father was before him, who assisted in the
framing and adopting the Constitution by
which Papists are excluded from office i'll
that State.
As additional proof that Gen. Pierce is at
hear strongly anti-Papist in his synpathies
andt connections, take the fact that the
Democratic party OF New Hampshire, of
which he has long been the leader, have
long had the whole control of the govern
ment OF that State, and managed matters as
they pleased; and, instead OF amending the
constitution So Us to DO away with the eX-
cluson of Catholics from offices, have al
ways maintained it as it is; and Catholics
can now no more hold offices there than
slaves at the South and Indians. Will they
stand any better chance to obtain Federal
Offices from General Pierce when The
shall have been elected President! As still
further proof on this subject, take the fact
that all the Protestant associations, the 'Or-
angemen,' "Order of UnitedA americans" and
"Sons of America" are supporting General
Pierce Oh the ground of his position in res
pect to Popery. This is Protestant coun-
try, and |, sir, think that Gen. Pierce is en-
titled to the support, SO far at least as any
such question is concerned, of all Protestant
Americans.

While out in the country last week, we
were shown number of democratic Docu-
ments,' which are evidently being distribu-
ted in every neighborhood in Southern Indi-
ana, if not all over the country, entitled Spa
pers for the People, to be issued weekly du-
the entire Democratic Delegation in Con-
gress." Now we say, if the "entire Demo-
cratic delegation in Congress" are aware of
the nature of these documents or their con-
tents, and then assume the responsibility
they are as great pack of rascals as live,
upon the face of the earth. To say there is
one truth to one hundred direct and palpable
falsehoods in these "Papers for the People,"
is to tell as great a lie as any of the multi
tude of Brobdignag lies filling every page of
these precious documents. If anything is
calculated to disgust people with a party,
and convince people that such party cam
not support itself or its principles by facts,
we should think such publications as these
would have that effect. Slandering the
Wing party and defaming Gen. Scott as
much as Locofoco papers are doing, utterance
is given in these "papers for the People" to
flsehoods WHICH no newspaper in the land
dare o.; g;nate and attempt to palm off upon
the people as facts. We not only bid our
Wing friends to beware of these irresponsi.
Bile and corrupt documents, but we tell our
Democratic readers that if they submit to be-
ing gulled by such publications, they will
but make themselves the simple tools of de.
graded men. If among the papers being is.
sued by the Wing press, we should find any
thing so corrupt and so corruptng as these
things, we would condemn them and theil
authors just as freely, as we now warn ou
friends TO beware of these "Papers for the
People," These papers are said to be issuec
by jefferson Union" at New York, which
claims to have Secretary in every comfy o
every State, (gas) Now the Secretaries
to so infamous an association should be fer
retted out, so that near neighbors may watcl
their horses and guard their pockets in view
of the proximity of such persons.

The CROPS. outcrv of short
crops, particularly of corn,as we have here
tofore stated, were rather premature. All
along the course of the Ohio River, particular
ly on the Kentucky side, the crops never look
ed better, and an abundant yield is anticipa-
ted The recent continued rains have
brought about this gratifying result, unless
some untoward circumstance takes place, the
yield throughout the west will be full aver
age. We however continue to hear of par
tial failures in limited districts, in some por-
ton of Indiana, and our own State.

n'Gov. Jucas, Democratic ex-Gov ernor
of Ohio, and still slater of Iowa, has declared
for Scott and Graham. Gov. l.. was leader of
the Democratic party of Ohio, and he has been
a Democratic leader in Iowa, but his patriot
ism has conquered his party prejudices. A
very large number of other old Democrats
went with him for the Wing ticket in the late
elections in Iowa, and four timer as great a
number will go with him for Scott in Novem-
Der.

recovered. The Clarion of Saturday, says a

1t will be remembered the editor of the

deny we reported correctly, refused to say
where he got the infamous paragraph, leaving
the impression on sour friend the Whig'' that
it was of home manufacture. He excused
himself for publishing it, by saying the Wings
said worse things of Gen. Pierce! When he
talks OF "unscrupulous editors" publishing
such conversations as this, he should reflect
upon the peculiar character of such editors
