THE NEBRASKA BILL IN NEW HAMPSHIRE-POSI-
TON OF MESSRS. MORRISON AND KITTREDGE.


Our readers remember that few days since publish
ed extracts from the party press in the congressional dis
trict in New Hampshire represented by Hon. George W.
Morrison and that all of them took high and bold ground
against the action Of Messrs Ktredge and Morrison upon
the Nebraska bill AT the time promised to trans
fer TO our columns the sentiments the democratic papers
in the district represented by Mr. Ktredge
ceved We have before two of the three democratic
journals printed in the first dstIicthe New Hampshire
Gazette and the Dover Gazee-both located within few
miles of the representative of the district
The former speaks of the BILL the principles upon which
it is based and the action of the party upon it,
follows:
% Believing, have from the outset that the prnci
Piles of this bill republican and just and that its
will be hereafter considered the triumph of national dem
ocrac measure and evidence OF the progressive and lib
eral tendencies of this party nd that It's principles must be
accepted and carried BY democrats they Mould naiia
he proud standing and national reputation and ersence
rejoice IN its triumphant passage by Congress, after contest
almost unprecedented in the history of congressional legsa
ton We not that any before Congress
has received thorough discussion, met with
decided and strenuous outside opposition in the shape
Of petitions public remonsrances public meetings minis
teal edcts newspaper arguments and threats and also
such cowardy demonstrations party malice could invent
hanging and burning egy, the less violent but less
false and wicked charges of universal corruption and bribery
in supporting this BILL carry out what they believed to be
the wishes of their constituency and to perform their duty to
the country under the constitution which they have to
support and cherish"
1--WE see but course for the national democracy Of
New Hampshire pursue upon this This
fully indicated by the present position Of their opponents
Upon they have to meet closer coalition of whggery
and aboltonsm than they ever before encountered They
s not sccumb The corrupt ,ehch supported Hale and
A'rood aad hch hos already been formed opposon 10
ne democracy Of the State"
The latter holds such bold and decided language the
following showing beyond question that the democracy
cple TO stand between them and the great doctrines Of
their faith
"PAssAaE OF THE NEBRASKA BILLThis great and popu-
lar has passed the House Of Representatives will
by reference another column Of paper to-day
It's passage through the House has called forth the greatest
enthusiasm the democracy throughout the country and
predict that IL will become Of the pop
enacted by Congress- has at all events
dealt death blow factionhe great conservative prn-
cpe of the right Of the people govern themselves being
firmly established that nothing is left for them harp
upon Let them now with Horace Greeley counsel treason,
inoendiarisn, and boodshedit viii avail them nothing;
buried beneath their ruin and justly deserving the in
dgpation Of enlightened sovereign people, they have de-
scended the very lowest ebb Of nfamy from which they
win rise again Let the country rejoice that faction
forever silenccd."
II difficult the present Of thingsin the Granite
State 10 perceive where Mossrs Morrison and Kittredge
look for strength and support within the ranks of the
the prominent and tried Of the party dcnounco them
Such Is the fate Of those who sler and fail when great
principles are at stake!
