These are but few OF thousand similar free soil
demonstrations of New Hampshire Democracy, head

ton. They establish the naked, undsgu,sed fact,
that during that agitation the democrats Of New
Hampshire and the Vaa Buren, barnburacrs Of New
York acted together hand in glove, and that they
only parted company whoa the national democracy
had Eiumphed, In settling the slavery question by
the compromise measures-our shrewf friends Of
the Granite State, thinking 1t wiser ~ swim with the
compromise measures than to sak with the Buffalo
