victory, though won by the and protraced
efforts of brave and true men, and though not
wheming we have been accustomed to record on
each returning New Hampshire election day, still
wants no element of completeness. It is victory of
the true men of our party, single handed, over the
most powerful combination against the constitution
and the Union New England has ever seen.
An extra from the Office OF the New Hampshire
Patriot received last night, shows that 158 democrats
elected TO the house, and l44 of other parties

have chosen ut least four democrats now. We have

HAVANA, June 90, 1s54.-Things are rapidly
drawing to crisis in this place, and be pre.
pared to hear the worst. Some Of these bright
mornlngs' When you walk down to your store,
you will be startled at the fact that the whites
have been massacred in cold blood Such will
be the result of the mighty events now trans
piring in this lovely island. If the Govern
ment ofthe United States intend to take any steps
in the matter, they had better be quick about
it. Time passes rapidly and every day hastens
with rapid strides the day of emancipation and
Africanization. 1 have just seen the decree or
dering the admission of the darkies into the
ecclesiastical seminariesl So we are to have
African priests. They ore allowed to inter-
marry, and their children are duly legalized
and legitimatiscd. What more could they
do for the black scoundrelsa So you may
see for yourself that the times ore getting aw-
fully gloomy for the inhabitants Of this place;
shall hold on until the sto1m begins to burst,
and then try to get away.
