The annual election for Governor, Railroad Commits
soner Counseors Senator's and members Of the House
u Representatives, is to take place Tuesday 14th inst,
Tho peculiar position of political Affairs in the State,
makes this election than usually interesting.
Properly speaking, there four parties in the State,
which may be summed up follows
The national democratic party led by Edmund Burke,
Of Newport The State Capital Reporter published at
this place ia Burke's organ He advocates the passage
OF the Nebraska bill strong constitutional grounds
He supports the regular State ticket but in the towns
where e has power of the "disaffeced" may be
elected 10 the legislature If he can get in twelve or
fteen OF vhnt he calls the old guard men who
went Texas annexation and all the other exciting
of 1916, he hold the State in his hands,
This party is said to be secretly operating with the whgs
They win rot scruple at anything to defeat the admins
tation rury. Burke and his party alege that Pierce
PeasAee Wells Hibbard Norris, and others Of the
clique have been true to the democracy Of the
Union; thatFrankln Pierce In the Texas controversy
went farther than the abotonists in denouncing
the South that Peasee got his first election to Congress
BY going beyond the regular anti slavery candidate in
!,
and that the Patriot denounced in 1s4s the very
principles which it pretends to advocate in 1854.
Now, Burhe's "Old Guard" Ia much Ike Napoleon's
after the Russian campaign. The influence and money
Of the administration have had effect upon them
Than did the Cossack sabres and the fgid upon
the Gd.de Imperial But they can do something In
many tow where the vote Is close they prevent

Then have the stregular' soft shell adminstra-

things to all the daughters-and is the best terms
with himself and everybody else His friends think
that hs e ssDDoon IL with aas s no SouS Of % 5
election, but think that he will not have than
thousand fifteen hundred majority Mr.. Baker
ID Gin doubt about Nebraska Many people think that
he Il opposed to Mr. Douglas BILL and has been stated
that he hes expressed himself to that effect Ny
opinion is that he has opinion for the whole people,
think thst he has opinion for side and another
for the ofler He was the intimate friend Of Mr. Pierce
but is stalled that he has been snubbed by the ad,
mistra and that his recommendations of certain

powers Washington, and that he is highly indignant

The viii probably elect in the First Second
Fourth SIXTH Eighth, Tenth and Twelfth. The others
win be W. g filed up by the Mouse according to the
complexion Of that body In the Eleventh there
choice last year. and the present candidate was elected
struug In the latter the wings will get the tenn
perancc VOC.
Last yy the election was not warmly contested Several
strong w owns-Nashua for one-failed to elect rep
ressnfnt,ts and the administration party had about
seventy ajcrity in the House. The House has 275
rsuresenta tivcs from 225 towns The causes which will
weaken Tie administration vote important than
the leaders to acknowledge The people think the
oces hare not been fairly distributed others who don't
abou the Offices injured In their feeling OF State
pride TIC failure Of Mr. Pierce to make the world think
him as great man New Hampshire thought him. His
press the utter loathng and detestation with which
the Cabinet and Caleb Cushing particularly are regard
ed The last named ingust is called renegade whig an
abolitionst msleader Of the President Of the
seeds of treason, and many other hard names which
cannot recall just shall think Of them all by and
by, and then the Commissioner to China and crusher
out' of "egtation may what the Northern people
think Of him. Generally the people don't say much
the @ IT., he pea oy Ds os
reath es as met on my last visit to New Hampshire
fourteen fifteen months ago. Another great fault in
ntaf 10
It's lenes seem be afraid to before the people with
the Ncbrsia bill test question Only two papers in
come out in its favor The Patriot supports it in
q trir ming way worthy Of the great father OF
all the trimmers 1t declares that the nlll Is
sureLut s is not an issue in the present election
According TO the Patriots creed man may be elected by
democratic votes and be good democratic officer and
neither Inc his party believe in the Of the
democratic party. The Unioa Democrat, published at
kohsa ou hs the
tive act refuses to give its adhesion to the Douglas
BILL out Of regard for the Missouri compromise Burke
a. said before upholds the BILL and opposes the Patriot
Burke tells the people that slavery is free to go to Ne
braska, and that according to the constitution it ought
docs sanction slavery and that slaves could not live
in Nebraska it did That's ,scsse; but the odd trick
has been won by fnesse great many times.
said in foregoing paragraph that Burke's party were
aiding the opposition Let us see Burke that the
bin does sanction slavery and the free soil Orators seize
upon this assertion and proceed to argue that slavery
being De nitted TO enter, will enter and that it will
flourish NJ wen as il does in Missouri If the admnisra
ton party would take the broad ground laid down in the
HnArp and say, Slavery slavery, We must stand
upon the c, Institution their triumph, If they trumphed
would be glorious one. Now they adopt "dodge."
They the Nebraska questions not the issue before
the eople they are willing that any candidate should
oppoe tx but after election II they carry the State they
win claim IL as endorsement Of Pierce Marcy, Cush
ine Hougias Nebraska and last though not least, of
Norris ard williams At the present writing am inclin
ed to think that the majority Of the democrats will ad
here TO regular nominations.
The wiirs have pretty strong ticket and their union
with the abolition party Is believed to be complete The
wings hn nominated their candidate for Governor
james Fell ef Meredith, worthy and popular man He
il concerned In the manufacturing interest, and will
have god vote. The wings have promised the aboli-
tionsts tla in they get majority in the House,
Amos Tuck shall have one Of the seats in the United
States Senate. The wings and abolitionsts, or inde-
pendent democrats" as they call themselves, have
That the vha ticket shall be voted.
