The repeated defeats Of the democrats in New Hamp
shire have made them aware of the slight difference
that there Is between jackson and Pierce between
the tough and rough Old Hickory, with its broad
amplitude Of boughs and leaves, under which ma.
ton could repesc in calnness and security and the
trim little sappliAg which has yet many years to
grow before it will be able to cast shade large
enough to afford refuge to Liuiputian from the
glare Of rushlight. The work Of governing par
ty ia unnecessarily always difficult one. but in these
days it Is rendered ten times more difficult by the
imbecilisy of those who have been entrusted with
the business of leadership business to which they
have one claim, it must be admitted, that ought to

Men who would submit to be refined up "a.

the first was great man, while the second is only
respectable gentleman and we do not allow men
to take liberties mer ely on account of their genti
lily and respectability. They must show something

the rash young Celestial who set the world on fire
merely through his fast driving and unskilfuIness

to the warning and example it affords as to the pro-
mises made while they were seeking places for
which they are entirely unfit.
The wings Of Massachusetts, are in desperate
quandary Out Of Boston the antislavery senti-
nent is strong In their party; but in Boston it is
not quite potential. The wings of the rural dis
trcts" are for getting back the free sellers by exh
biting goodly allowance Of the feeling now predo-
mnant in their party but the Boston leading wings
are rather slow In coming into this arrangement.
The guilt that has separated the wings from the
free sellers has always been ten times wider in the
vicinity Of Boston than in any other part Of the
State Beside If the free soilers to be regularly
absorbed into the whig party, the Boston leaders
know well that one Of the consequences Of
such absorption would be the continued elevation Of
such men as Mr.. Sumner and his associates. Two
years hence, we shall be engaged in election hav
ing for its object the choice Of Legislature that
must decide upon the fate of Mr. Sumner; and If
should endure, how could that gentleman be shelv-
ed? Yet that sheved he shall be. Is the firm deter
minaticn-of all the eminent wings of Boston, who
look upon him and his Immediate friends as far
worse enemies than sush nen as Mr.. Hallet Col.
Greene, and others of that set.
The wings are divided on the question of calling
sort of anti.slavery convention There has been q
story in circulation that the dispute was to be COM
Issued It was added that the address would be in
the atlas of this morning; but certainly have not
been able to find it there II may come out. and it
may be suppressed If the wings should do nothing,

the democrats who could not just at this time
muster even bakers dozen of ghosts out of Bos-
ton, and here they rarely have anything.
General Gushing, hear, Is to favor Massachusetts
with his presence in the course OF few days. The
people Of Nea buryport are getting up an extra
celebration of the allglorious Fourth of July, at
which all the sons and daughters of the place that
are worth having, and who still living to be
invited, with, suppose, some very few exceptions.
As Newburyport has been prolific in clever men and
women, it is expected that there will be great
time there on the Fourth. l haven't heard that
Mr. Garrison has been invited, though he is native
of the town. and used to be strong friend of the
Attorney General, in old times. Indeed, Mr.. Garrl
sons talents were first noted by General Cushing,
who has always had sharp eye for things OF the
kind. II would be- curious sight to see them
meet--"in a crowd"
Chief Justice Wells, of our Common Pleas Court,
died yesterday afternoon, after very short illness.
He was attacked with congestion Of the lungs on
Thursday afternoon, and was apparently better on
holding court in Boston at the time Of the attack.
He had been State Attorney for our Western dis
trict, and was sixty.three years old. He had O
respectable, but not high rank, as q lawyer and
judge.
The editor Of the Post having accused the senior
editor Of the Atias Of something very like an en-
bezzement Of government money-the first sue
ceeded the other as naval officer Of this port-the
latter has published most satisfactory reply, and
shown that his accuser has been bearing something
like false witness against his neighbor. No one be-
ieyed the Posts story; but still it Is very pleasing
to see the emphatic manner in which Mr.. Hudson
has disposed Of the charge. Editors ought to be
more tender of one another's regulations, and at
least not make of each other the subject Of libels
" Hawks will not pick out hawks eyes," Is an old
saying, and one by which the editorial fraternity
might profit though II seems little inclined to do
The editor Of the Post Is pecunarily honest
himself, and ought to admit that others can be SO
too.
Mr.. Robinson, formerly of the Lowell american
has gone into the editorial department OF the Com

and racine il has been sought TO edit that paper
