GLORIOUS GRANITE.
New HAMpsHIRE, Jltl4 8, 1854

New HAMPSHIRE, July 8, 1854.
To tie Editor of TIE National Era:
10 triumpkei We have crushed out I" the
Administration power in the "Oid Granite
State,p we hope, forever. No election of United
States Senators this year Our House Of Rep
resentatives has stood like Gibraltar--frm rs
our everlasting granite. After eleven unsuc-
cessful ballotings for United States Senator's
the whole subject has been I" indefinitely post
por,edD in the House. That is, the question
goes back to tho People-and terrible tribu-
nal TINT will be, for Dcughfeces HIBBARD
has been gloriously gibbeted on the gallows
of public opinion. He needed just such rebuke
or rather such On execution, for we trust this
is the last of him, politically. He thought
New Hampshire would stand anything" But
he misoalculated. He didn't fully understand
cur fierce Democracy" ian article somewhat
different from Pierce Democracy Bat he I'M
derstands it nov He expected to be elected
United States Senator. He left his seat at
w Washington, came to Concord, closeted himself
here to pull the wires" and to browbeat and
seduce our Representatives. But neither has
appeals nor the scowls and money of the Ad
ministration avalled Ia running his head
against our granite he only beat out his
own brains.
God be thanked for this victory-.his bat
tie shout in New Hampshire. Let the West
take courage. If slaye-ridden New Hampshire
can accomplish this much, at the opening of
tsle s.sto campaign, what ought freer and might
ier States to do? This is only the mutterang
of oar thunder. The storm-cloud in our sky
ia gathering into fearful blackness pregnant
with the awful elements of HUe thunder"
The people are everywhere awakening. New
Hampshire is arousing /" like a lion after SUM
bern Between this time and the March cleo
ton. every inch Of our territory will quake
to the onward tramp of the free.
Is it not singular circumstance that no
Hulker, by consent of the people of New
Hampshire takes John p. Hales place in the
Senate? Atherton qcGs elected at the dictation
of Gen. Pierce. He died. Williams was tenn
porarily appointed by the Governor This
YEAR the Huukers have been unable to elect
their man. So Hale's place is still vacant.
Let it be so--tiH 1ce send him back to I'LL Il.
May this not be in the "orderings OF Provi-
denoe % May not such an event be in the fu-
ture, to preserve still glorious the reputation OF
New Hampshire? GRANITE

FROM KANSAS TERRITORY.
WEsTPoRT, JACKSON Co, Mo,
.InLn12. 1854.

W ESTPoRT, JACKSON Co., MO,
July IL, 1854.
To the Editor of the National Era:
Presuming that you, as well as your numer-
Gus readers, would read with pleasure line
from this far-off Territory, | seat myself tor the
purpose of keeping you posted on Kansas mat
ters Since writing to you last, have spent
about sen days in the Territory, have been
over much of the country south Of Kansas
river, and must say that have viewed, to my
mind, some of the best as we'll as most beauti-
fol places in the world. Prairies could not be
richer, nor scarcely better wstered; it is true,
in places, timber may be scarce, yet limestone
exists in abundance, enough to fence in the
whole country. Stone-coal, am satisfied ex-
lists in abundance. The want Of timber will
be but trfling, even where it does not exist.
Emigrants are pouring in from all parts of
the country great majority of whom are
non-slaveholders; yet great ignorance prevails
among them on the Slavery question. Slave
holders finding, with ell their threats and bull
lying, that Northern men could not be scared
or kept out of the Territory, are now trying to
control tho public sentiment, and contend that
we have no right to exclude slave property
from the Territory, but that it stands in pre-
cisely the same relation as other property. BY
this means, they are gaining foothold here,
winch, fear, 1t Will be hard 10 rous snem
from.
Would SONS one, who is capable, write small
tract showing the true relation between master
and slave, asserting that Slavery is local IN
stitution, sustained only by positive law, and is
without foundation IN common or natural law,
consequently cannot exist in Kansas without
positive enactment and the danger Of letting it
ge. foothold; and then write another, giving
q general comparison of the slave and free
States, together with the expense Slavery Is to
the Gorernment-let these two tracts be cireu-
lated over the Territory, and to my mind the
work is done. Will not some of cur Anti-Sla
very-extension friends in the States take hold
of this matter, and furnish us something ON
this subject at once, whilst the public mind is
furnishing for food upon this subject!
It is really question which here takes pre-
cedence of all others and will our friends in
the States but furnish US the matter, We viii
distribute it broadcast over the whole Terrific
ry and wake up feeling that will die only
with Slavery ITSELF

Vi one thing, however, feel we'll assured
that no man will be selected who is not devo-
ted to the doctrines which we have SO long Ia
bored to establish and my answer to the sug-
gestion IS Let not mg name be used TO prevent
such union, nor ia any degree to diminish ats
Numbers, its moral or political influence
When first asserted the duty of an entire
separation of the people Of the free States and
our Federal Government from the support of
Slavery, did not expect to gain popular favor
thereby. On the contrary, expected the ad-
vocacy of that doctrine would at once consign
me to private life. 1t was not the desire of Of
fee which prompted me for many years, "soli-
tary and alone,n in this body to meet the
sneers and frowns of shareholders and their
servile imitatora, both here and in the country.
Nor was prompted by such motive to incur
the assaults of former political friends, who de-
nounoed me for refusing to go with them in
the surrender OF those rights.
Two years since, Our prospects were gloomy;
dependency prevailed among our friends, and
success was almost hopeless. Then | should
most gladly have retired, could have done so
honorably. Now we expect scarcely the show
of opposition in cur district; and we cherish
the firm expectation of q majority in the next
House Of Representatives. who coincide with
us es to the duty Of restoring Freedom to the
Territories And were | to say that | am IN
willing to constitute one of thsS me jOrity after
contending for the same principle so long in
hopeless minority you would not give me credit
for candor. But that desire is a mare personal
feeling, embracing no moral or political prin-
ciple, and ought not 70 guide the judgment or
the action of myself or any other person. Let
tie cause be consulted Select such candidates
as will best unite tie People, and, VIII best ap-
ply cur victory to tho promotion Of Freedom,
to the elevation Of mankind.
Fellow citizens, much remains to be done:
we hsvo but just entered upon the great work
which lies before us. Our first general victory
will be but the commencement Of q greater
and more extended responsibility In the pros
ecution of this great work, many will tire and
faint; many will withdraw from it, and coming
generations will be found laboripg for the con-
summation of that reform which We have corn
menced. Thus far, the people of cur district
and of the Western Reserve have occupied
an honorable position, in the maintenance Of
those doctrines which are destined to regener-
ate our nation, and to bring back our Govern
ment to the support Of principles which slim
ulated its founders to proclaim the right of
every human being "t0 life end liberty" q
SeLf-eCident truth.
feel an abiding confidence that union and
wisdom will guide your councils that you will
remain firm to the purpose of separating your
selves and Government from the contagiOn Of
Slavery. Your obedient servant,
J. r. GDDMGs.

The Liverpool cotton market was firm, and
indicated slight advance. Sales Of coston
since the sailing Of tho Niagara, 10000 bales.
The Liverpool flour and wheat market vas
dull, and both had declined. Flour had de-
clined one shilling; wheat from three pence to
six pence.
The Liverpool corn market was active, and
had advanced SIX pence.
The provision market shows no new feature.
The London money market was active, but
consols had declined, closing at %, owing TO
the tightness of money, and the more compli-
Gated state Of the Eastern question.
Trade in Manchester was quiet.
From the Seat of War-No information has
yet been received Of important battles.
Il is reported that the Turks had crossed toe
Danube in considerable force, and en- action
occurred, July 5th, between the Russians and
Turks, at GuirgeIo, in which 100 Russians
were killed and 300 wounded.

reports OF the evacuation OF the Prinoipalties
