turns, taken in the most favorable light for the
President AM the spoils Cabinet, prove that the
administration has met with total rout in the
native State OF Gen. Pierce, q the only Presi-
dent she ever had,' as the editor of the home
organ sagely remarks AS it is one of the very
few original remarks that he has ever made, it
should be kept before the people.
The latest dispatches from the New Hamp-
shire Patriot Office state that Mr. Baker, the
democratic candidate for Governor, is elected,
by fifteen hundred majority over Mr.. Bell,
whig, and Elder Perkins abolitionist. That
eight democrats and four wings have been cho-
sen to the Senate, and that one hundred and
fifty -four democrats and one hundred and forty
nine others are elected to the House of Repre-
sentatives. The towns to be heard FROM elected
last year six democrats and one whig.
The wings contradict this despatch, and the
Patriot people have more than once circulat-
ed false statements purporting to be news. But,
supposing that it is true, there will be a stormy
time in the Granite State Legislature, which
meets on the first Wednesday in June Among
the number of democrats mentioned as elected,
are several who are followers Of John p. Hale
and his abolitionis friends, and certainly twelve
who believe that there is no party but the hard
she'll party, and that Edmund Burke is its
prophet. These men will oppose the admins
tration men, the administration measures and
the administration candidates for United States
Senators, with as much vigor as any wings
could display. The United States Senators for
Grcf hall oI for in no
House; they are then sent to the Senate,
and confirmed or rejected according to
the complexion Of that body. 1t will be
seen that, as the opposition will rule the House,
and the administration govern the Senate,
there will be difference of opinion on the
great question Of the session, and Il is very
probable that there will be no election of United
States Senator'S during the coming session Of the
General Court" At any rate it seems very
certain that, on account of the trimming,
lodging, cowardly, sneaking policy of the ad-
ministrati0n, there will be no election of any
man who is known to be in favor Of the prin-
ciples contained in the Nebraska bill. Some Of
the democrats elected to the House are
made Of the very softest kind of dough, and
they have been all sorts of things to all sorts Of
men, in order to secure to themselves a seat in
the State councils.
In no other State in the Union is party spirit
so strong as it is in New Hampshire. The son and
sire, and grand sire sometimes go up and vote
the regular nomination in body, and bolt
ing is considered worse than heresy. The causes
which led to this last defeat of Mr.. Pierce and
his Cabinet must, therefore, be considered i'm
portant by the voters Of other States. Last
session the democrats had majority of eighty
nine in the House, now the Concord clique is
endeavoring to make figures lie, in order to
"cipher OUT working majority of-just
two!!w Last year Governor Martin had two
thousand and nine hundred majority, and now
the clique falteringly hopes that Mr.. Baker
who ran ahead Of his ticket--who is very po-
pular with many young wings, and who got
the votes of both sections of the party, has one
thousand and five hundred. The democratic
net loss on the popular vote is three thousand
three hundred and eighty-tw
The fact is, that the people of New Hamp-
shire are disguised with their President. He
finds few apologists ameng the Office holders
at Concord, but the general sentiment of
the people is against him. They pity
him, and they detest his Cabinet, parti-
cularly the Attorney General. The Con-
cord clique, acting, no doubt, under secret
orders from Washington, refused to place the
Nebraska question fairly before the people.
They said the bill Was good bill-a demo-
cratic bill--,a Union and harmony bill-but yet
man could be elected to Office as a democrat,
by democratic votes, and he be utterly hostile
to the bin. This was the story for one section.
For another it was said that the bill was an
administration measure-that votes for the
democratic ticket were direct votes in favor of
the bill, and thus they worked to secure the
hard shell support. In another class, the
rumor was industriOusly circulated that the
President was opposed to the bill, and that he
would veto it! And many people believe this
up to the present moment The sensible
men in the democratic party were dis
gusted with this regeneration, and de-
clared that if the bill had been put prompt
ly and squarely before the people, they
would have accepted it. They say that the
President would have been utterly overthrow
had not the hard-shells voted the State ticket,
in order to give their support to the Nebraska
bill. 1t is always best to put things right be-
fore the people. The New Hampshire democra-
cy accepted the compromise measures Of 1850
as test in the election of 1851, and the result
was democratic triumph.
The result Of the election in New Hampshire
is an unmistakeable sign Of the unpopularity of
Mr.. Pierce and his Cabinet The administration
has been defeated in the Presidents own State,
and it is but too evident that the democratic
party must go to ruin for the want of proper
mana cement at Washington.
