Yazoo City, Friday Ang. 20, a. m.
TIE NEw HAmpsHIRE TEsr.-The following
facts in the history of the anti-Catholic test in
New Hampshire, are extracts from letter writ
ten by the Hon Edmund Burke than whom no
one is better acquainted with the history of New
Hampshire.
The Constitution of New Hampshire was
adopted some forty years ago, while the Federal
party was in the ascendency in the State. ltwas
the constitution of the federal party, was franz
ed, adopted, ana for many years administered BY
that party. All its odious features are the wora
of the old federal 1.art, of Now Hampshire.
Since the democratic party have gained the as
tendency in that State, repeated efforts have been
made to call convention to alter and reform it.
The question has several times been put TO the
people and voted down-the great body of the
democratic party voting in favor Of reform,
and the great body of the federal (now whig)
party voting against it.
Within twenty years, the question has been
referred to the people no less than three times
and in every instance defeated by the federal par
W, Wuo Almost 10 man, Noteu against any
change in the constitution.
On the last reference of the question to the
people, every democratic paper in the State adj
vocated an alteration in the constitution. Eve
ry federal paper opposed it.
After that is known, will any whig in the
Union have the effrontery TO assert that the
whole responsibility of that obnoxious test be-
ing still retained in the Constitution, does not
belong to the federal whig party.-Ctn. Eng
