Hampshire.
AS New Hampshire promises soon to become
an interesting battle ground, the elements Of
freedom being already in great commotion there,
and those OF Hunkorism growing corresponding
ly desperate, the following article, from source
well worthy our attention, is quite opporune,
and its structures we think, richly deserved ED.
Ma EDITOR Have you noticed the charac-
teristcs of the political warfare which is car
ied on in our sister State, New Hampshire P
There is disposition exhibited by one OF the |
political parties of that State, or rather by an
Editor of political Paper of that State, wh!oh,
if manifested by any respectable editor in almost
any other State, would brand him as an infa-
nous libelIer, and exclude him from the compa-
ny of honest and honorable men. The posi-
slton occupied by that party which styles itself
Democratic in this State, is gerry different from
the position occupied by the so called Demo
cratic Party Of New Hampshire. As general
thing the Democracy of New Hampshire have
been led ard managed by men, in whose poti-
cal character not one element Of opposition TO
human .Slavery could be found There was
time when the late Hon. Isaac Hill dictated to
the State who her officers should be--no man
could guess who would be Governor till MIR.
Hill had been consulted. This State of things
continued for some years with occasionally n
little jlrgon among several who would be great
men, until the scheme to annex Texas came
up;-lf am correctly informed, the legislature
OF New Hampshire had shown itself opposed to
annexation, but the Democratic Party in con-
vention assembled Resolved" in favor of Tex
as, thinking that the members of Congress from
the State would "about face" to lis command.
But ore of the Representative in Congress from
that State declined to obey orders and gave his
reasons for the same in manner satisfactory to
large portion Of the people of the State
Since the time of which We speak, now about
SIX years, the political course Of John Parker
Hale has been watched with anxiety by friends
and foes from one end of tie Union to the 9th
er. Mr.. Hale has pursued an honorable, straight
forward, Independent course since he has been
member of the Senate, and he may safely
challenge any member of that powerful Party
in his State, whose special object of hatred, he
is, to point out on the record, any act, or sentlt
ments expressed winch is not in strict acCor-
] In mr. with tho fnn1 aTnanFo1 Of
ocracy. But the organ of Democracy in New
Hampshire does not deal IN facts but in this
wise does it deal with SENATOR HALE.
John P. Hale commenced his career for the
session by opposing the resolution for the re-
ception of The noble Hungarian patriot Kos
sulh. With all his irothy declarations and
rant in behalf of liberty, this arrant demagogue
was the first man in the Senate TO oppose the
proposition to honor this gallant champion of
the rights and liberties of his oppressed coun-
trymen; But Knssuth is the advocate of constltu-
tional freedom-of liberty regulated by law,
and this we suppose. is one reason for ilale's
hostility to him If he was like Garrison, Hale
& Co., an odvocate of the higher law" of
mob law, of allowing the passions and caprIces
Of each individual TO be his sole guide and rule
of actions, then tale would appear as his loud
est champion, and defender. But as it is he
takes the side OF despotsm and ranges himself
with the tools of Russian and Austrian tyran-
ny ". H. Patriot.
Perhaps it is unnecessary 10 remark that
the foregoing article does not contain one pr
tlcle of truth so far as reference is made TO MIR
Hale. On "Wednesday The Sd inst, the Iesou-
&c Az II IN, 70 {
Louis Kossuth, was read the second time, Mr..
Foote desired action immediately. Mr. Dawson
of Georgia was the first to oppose the resou-
ten. There was no precedent which would
justify the Senate in passing it. There was
nothing in the character of Kossuth to dstin-
guish him from other men. 1t is the people who
ought to receive him and not the Government"
Mr. Hale offered an amendment which he thought
would obvialo the objections argued. Here is
the amendment, And also to assure him Kos
suth) and his associates IN exile, Of the sympa-
thy OF Congress- and the people of the United
States with the victims of oppression every
where and that it is our earnest desire that tho
time may speedily CONE, wheh the rights OF
man shall be universally recognised, and res
pected by every people and Government of the
world" Is this opposition to Kossuth? Mr.
Hale ably supported the resolution, and the
amendment which he had offered and this is
the way in which he ranges himself with the
tools of Russian and Austrian tyranny" The
New Hampshire Patriot does not publish Mr.
IIuIe's amendment, neither does he publish a
single syllable which he uttered in the debate,
" Garrison, Hale s. Co." How perfectly ridicu-
lous! There is not an intelligent citizen Of
New Hampshire, who does not know that Mr..
Garrison Processes to be as much opposed to Mr..
,lale, as the N. II. Patriot, whose editor ap.
pears /" to live and hate" NJ MD
