The men of New Hampshire Of all parties,
we believe, were tolcr.hly well suited with
the issue of the last Presidential campaign.-
They felt hattcred that a son of the Granite
State was to occupy the White House, and
believed Frank II pretty good fellow, whom
they wished well and hoped would make a
passablc President.
'rwould seem as if the state of feeling had
altered II little, somehow, by this time To
the cordial way in which Edmund Burke and
other prominent men of his own party sup
port the President, We have alluded hereto
fore. How the other two parties stand aft I'D
may be seen from the following little express
sions of feeling.
The Wings of the Sth Senatorial district of
New Hampshire, met in Convention on the 3D.
inst, and passed series Of resolutions among
which are the following:
Rcsolred, That the policy of the admins
tration, SO far as developed, consists Of !.
minute attention to the toilet of our public
servants abroad, and to execute pronuncia-
mcntos in regard to the exercise, by the pco-
pie. of their rights of suffrage.
Rcsolrcd, That the attempt by the Prcsl-
dent of the United States to preserve balance
of power between the llardS and Sutts OF the
Democracy of New York, has resulted III Il
hard knock from the one and the discovery OF
Il very soU spot in the other.
Rcsolred, That the recent impertincnt in
reference of members of the Cabinet in our
State elections, deserves, as it has received,
the indignant rchukc Of the people.
The Free Sellers also held Convention in
Rockingham County, AID among other reso-
lutions adopted the following
Rcsolred, That when Caleb Cushing's life

itous distribution in the waste places OF Zion

Ilor CoRS. Life Scenes in New York. H.
Illustrated, PIP. 4OS, $l,25, Elegantly bound
and gilt.
The stories of Little Katie " the Hot
Corn girl, and Madalina, tho rugpicker s
daughter" which, with others of the same
class form the above named volume, appeared
originally in the New York Tribune from the
pen Of Scion Robinson Esq, Of that paper
They were designed to call attention to the
crime and misery of certain portions of the
New York poor, and especially to the self
denying lubors and plans of Mr.. Pease, the
noble missionary Of the Five Points. They
created u great sensation, and contributions,
to the amount of several thousand dollars,
from all quarters, flowed into the exhausted
treasury of the Five Points House Of Industry,
and still continue to flow in.
The scenes witnessed during "A few hours
spent in part under Mr.. Pcase's guidance,
in exploring some Of the purlieua of that
maelatrum Of vice and wretchcdness, the Five
Points, remain wildly impressed ON our mem.
Dry These sketches revive the experiences of
that day. AS we read their vivid and life
like descriptions, we are thrilled, and touched
and saddened, and shudder with horror and
disgust, even as when witnessing the realities
themselves,
If it Is good for us occasionally to see the
degradation of poor human nature in its
depths of ABANDONMENT and misery, to trace
the sources of its wretchedness, and see how
sometimes the long hidden spring. of q better
life will gush forth in the midst of all-then
these - Life Scenes will do good, They
cannot fail to be widely read, and with intense
interest. The book is published by Dewitt a

it true, ~ they have been time and again
told, that their leaders are for the most

only to manage them for the best interests OF

The AiumOr DCaiCrs of Troy.

The Troy Wing, II stcadiast opponent OF
the Maine law ,rritcratcs a statement to which
we called attention some months So, with
regard to the am junt of liquor sent rom Troy
into Vermont. 1t says
" 1t is the united testimony of liquor deal
crs in this city that their liquor trade i'll Yer
mont was never SO good as it has been since
the Maine Law went into operation there,
and so far as We can hear they are opposed to
the repeal of the same on that account. We
will state one fact \ considerable dealer in
one of the principal towns in Vermont, wrote
to Il wholesale house in this city II few days
since, that his purchases i'll future would de
pend wholly on the question OF the repeal OF
the Maine Law then pending. II the law
was repealed he would want not more than
half Of what he should if the law WAS sustain
ed and that with the aid of other dealers he
was in hopes Of preventing the repeal OF the
law
We trust the day is not far distant when
the Maine Law in New York will stop the
boasting of these Troy shippers of crime and
misery into Vermont.
As to the individual fact stated, it may be
true. But the inference intended by the
Wing to be drawn thcrcfrom, that the sale
and use Of rum i'll Vermont is increased by
the law, is not only false but ridiculous.
The smugglrr 5 trade is the better, no doubt.
because honest men are prohibited from en-
saging in it.. To argue thereirom that the
traffic in the contrabana article IL increased
by the restrictions upon it, is absurd in the
extreme.

The " Freedom of speech" Excitement in
New York.


New York.
The facts concerning the late alleged out
rage on " Freedom of Speech y in New York,
are briefly as follows -
On Saturday the 18th inst, Rev. Mr.. Par
sons, who, according to his own statement,
has been imprisoned by Jesuits in foreign
land, and cruelty treated by them for fifteen
years, and who hes been in the habit of preach
ing against Polery in the open air, while
holding forth to II large crowd in an extensive
ship yard, was arrested and committed to the
Station house by order of the Mayor, in ordcr
TO prerent abreach ofhc peace. His adyocatcs,
to the number of five or six thousand, marched
to the house Of the Mayor and threatened to
burn it down unless the man was released
In the mean time the man was discharged,
and this being announced the crowd dispersed
On Wednesday r call for a Mass meeting was
circulated, and some ten or fifteen thousand
persons assembled in the Park, to whom
speeches were made, condemning the action
of the Mayor, and maintaining the right of
free speech on all subjects. twas announced
at the close that Mr. Parsons would preach
again the next sabbath, and would be pro
tectcd
On Saturday the Mayor issued procama-
ton, calling on all good citizens to keep the
peace. Archbishop Hughes also issued an
address to Catholics, urging them to keep
away from street preaching, and to observe "A
peaceful and legal department. Preparations
were also made to rcprcss any riot or dis
turbance that might arise. On Sunday Mr.
Parsons preached, az heretofore, to a very
large concourse. His discourse was pacific
in its character, and was listened to without
disturbance or interruption from the Mayor
OF populace, which ends all apprehension o
future trouble.
The course of the Mayor in arrcsting Mr.
Parsons, is generally spoken of by the New
York press, as an unlawful interference.
