members were willing to vote these generaties In
favor of the President but they could not possibly
swallow his abolition appointments in Maine, Massa.
chssetts, New York, and elsewhere; and this they
demonstrated beyond the reach Of cavil and doubt
by their rejection, by q very decided VOTE Of the
following resolution, offered by Mr.. Cragip, of
Lebanon, as an addition to the resolutions Of the
committee
Resolved, That believe, with the New Hampshire
Patriot, that the bsrnburners Of New York and the
cosltionists Of constitute wing Of the
democratic party, and therefore, with other free
soers enitled TO their share of the oces under the
This resolution they voted down very decidedly:
and to-day the whole series of resolutions reported by
Mr. Aver were adopted, without amendment, by
large majorities.
The record now stands thus:-The democracy of
this State are willing to resolve any amount of
generalites in favor of their President, whom they
really respect and love- and desire to have do we'll
but they will not resolve that they approve of his
free soil and coalition appointments. This is
fully demonstrated by the action of his par
ticuar friends in relation to the resolutions
to which l have referred. If they could have
forced down the Legislature, three fourths of the
members OF which are democrats resolutions approx
ing OF the Presidents appointments, they would
have done it. But they found the members would not
stand such dose-they would not vote that they
approved Of the appointment of men who had been
making war against them upon the very vital prnci-
pie for which they had been contending for years:
peace larmO-
ny Of the States composing it; they would not vote
that they approved OF the appointment of men who
had voted for the election of Charles Sumner to the
office of Senator Of the United States; they would
not vote for any such nonsense th 1t merely yOtinQ
tor the candidates Of the Baltimore Convention was
recognition of its platform, full and free pardon of
sins, and an admission to the democratic church.
as had been preached by the New Hampshire Patriot
and the Washington Uni0m The staunch and stur-
dy democracy of the Granite State would vote for no
such captrap and nonsense.
And such is the voice Of q large majority of the
democratic voters of New Hampshire As much as
they love the Presdent-and they are sincerely at
tached to him-they will not stand by him in his mis-
taken though wellmeant, policy of appointing men
to office who have been for years tainted with the
leprosy of abolitonism. This is the precise state
OF sentiment in the democratic party of New Hamp-
shire at this time. On that point they go with Mr..
Burke, and that is as far as he goes.
1t was unfortunate for the Presidents friends to
move the matter in the Legislature after the occur
rences in the State convention. There it stood well
enough for the President. By stirring it in the Le-
gsature they have got virtual condemnation of the
Presidents policy, so far his abolition appoint
ments are concerned.
The democracy of New Hampshire intend to stand
firmly on the platform of the constitution and the
Union Looking beyond the existence Of .he present
tional rights othe South when they are again assaIed
as we know they soon will be-by the anti-slavery
fanatics of the North. There is no such thing as
uniting. and amalgamating such elements with the
III.
this effort far as this State is concerned has only
| proved that the breach between the national demo-
cracy and free soers and coaltioniss is wider and
| the dislike between them more bitter than ever.
Let the administration, and especially let the
South note these signs Of the times. Let the South
bear constantly in mind that now her destiny is in
| her own hands. Let them beware how they contami
nate themselves by any sort Of alliance Or co opera
ton with the free soil and barnburner factions OF the
North Their only policy and their only safety, so
far as the North is concerned is to stand by the ma
tional democracy-the true men who stand by the
constitution The rights OF the States and the union
OF the States. GRANITE STATE.

nncal experience, which was not without interest,
claiming for himself the credit Of being democrat,
with the exception of his refusal to endorse the Fu
pitive Slave law. The effects of an attachment to
that law were Illustrated in a manner more amusing
than strictly logical, and very much at the expense
VI tne theory VI ltllu GOWN lllS scS-
sion; and other aristocratcal procvities stated
by Mr.. Mason to be apparent in the public conduct
OF the dominant party in this House.
Mr.. Tappan, Of Bradford followed, and expressed
his wish to be understood having design to
press dissatisfaction with the government of Gen.
