A lew weeks before The Convention, Mr..
Burke came TO New Hampshire, and meet
ing OF the delegation OF the State to the Con.
ven'on "as held, al'which, however. he
was no. present. He, however, wrote q
letter suggesting plan OF operations, which
was adopted by the delegation and rullv
carried out in The Convention a, Baltimore.
The character and success Of The plan
agreed on is thus described by The Old
Guard: e,
"At ,ha, time Gen Pierce expressed his
desire that our delegation should no, cast.
ils vote unanimously for any one candidate
before the Convention. The reason he as.
signed was lha, in consequence Of The high
character for fidelity 10 principle which The
Democracy of New Hampshire enio, ed
among their brethren of The Union, the
united vote of her delegation, though smull,
would have greuIer moral force Than the
votes OF delegalionsmuch larger in numbers:
and if given Tor any leading candidate in
the outset, would endangc, the ultimate end
we had in view.

some weeks previous engaged rooms for our
entire delegation al The Eutow Hoase, one Of
the bes, hotels in .ha, city. The Conven.
lion assembled and throughout its session
we exer,ed every energy 10 carry out the
ballots gave my vote Tor Mr.. Douglas, in
accordance with what knew was General
