NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION.

We have the high qualification of announcing a
complete and glorious Democratic victory in New
Hampshire. 1t is claimed by the Democrats, and
generally conceded by the Wing papers, that the De-
mocrats of that State have elected their Gov
Dr.. Martin, over Sawyer, the Wing candidate. and
Atwood the Abolition candidate and that the Dem
ocrats have the Legislature by decided majority,
thus securing United States Senator for six years
in place of that unprincipled dema gogue, John P.
Hale.
This is victory of a character to cheer the heart
of every sincere friend of the Union and of the rights
of the States. The Democrats of New Hampshire
entered the campaign and fought through the ad
Yocates Of the fug,ve-slave law and they have
ceeded in the face of divisions in their ranks,
occasioned by the course of Atwood and in defiance
of all the efforts OF the Wings backed by Tuck and
Hale. The verdict OF the New Hampshire Democ-
racy is in favor of The inality Of the compromise
in favor of the fugitve-save LAWN favor OF the
platform of the Baltimore Convention and the old
landmarks Of the party, and against Federalism in all
Its shapes and with all its sms.
The National Inteligencer the senior organ of the
Wing party at Washington, thus notices this cleo.
ton:

This result is presumed to indicate the reelection
of Hon. John P. Hale to the united States Senate"
The above notice penned, of course, before the
Intslligencer had received all the returns.
Here we have it distinctly stated by the leading
Wing organ of the United States, that the Wings
and Freesoilers belong to the same class and then
the announcement follows, a matter of course. that
this result is presumed indicate the reelection of
Hon. John p. Hale the United States Senate"
We invite the particular attention of Southern Wings
to these facts.

Our thanks due to Messrs. w. H. & r. S.
Tucker for beautiful pattern of lace-one from among
many of the " Sort" which they have on hand.
The Colonel-no doubt supposing that we had had
enough Of that Kossuth hat-was silent on the sub
iect of hats, for which he is famous; but could
see, at a glance. that his stock in this line as
good, if not better than heretofore.
Our Merchants now receiving their Spring sup
plies. They are all worthy of patronage, especially
those of them who advertise-we do not say in the
Standard, for that would look like sefshness. We
wish them all ready sales and fair profits.
P. S. We went " OH Guard - few nights since,
and wore that hat. Fortunately we saw no one, and
no one, therefore, saw the hat.

BRITIsH INTERVENTION IN AFRICA. The reason
why English friends destroyed Lagos was be-
cause the chief of that place refused sign treaty
for the suppression Of the slave trade in his domn
ions! 1t took philanthropc British friends two
days of hard Christian warfare demolish the saw
age town. They attacked with her majesty's war
vessels the Bloodhound, the Teazer, the Penelope,
the Samson, and others. Unfortunately for the cause
of philanthropy, the {" Bloodhound - grounded on a
sand bank, when the black and wicked enemy"
fired into the peaceful vessel, and killed thirty and
wounded seventyfour intervening Christian English
men, But the anti-savery phanthropists kept up the
good fight until " an immense number of the iiatires
vere killed. - Then the wicked black king Kosoko
was dePCsed and another substituted - by the in
terventionists, according the instructions of the
lords commissioners of the British admiralty. Com.
Bruce in his report, is 80 at loss justice to the
chivalrOus bearing and devoted bravery of Capt's.
Jones and Lyster. - The king Aktoye was
brough; in and enthroned with about 500 followers
Kosoko and his people numbered 10 or 10000, and
retreated by of from the other side of
the island. OF course kosoko will not think of re-
turning to dispute his crown with the anti-slavery
king, and there will be blood shed nor slave
dealing in that quarter AS to the immense number
of natives whom it necessary to kill. there is no
need of their having Christian burial. Let their
white bones be piled up monument to British
philanthropy. Boston Post.

THE BASKET Willow. The annual importation of
this variety of willow nto the United Staes is said
be 5OOOOOo, and this does satisfy the increas

from Germany and France, and costs from 500 to
$3.50 per ton. This willow has been grown for
