Glorious New Hampshire.

The recent Sta tie Convention OF this noble old
Commonwealth has, by its proceedings, glorious
ly indicated her Democracy from the slanders
and misrepresenta tations which have been hoaped
upon them. Phe utmostunanimity ckaracteriz-
ed its proceedings, and is cheering to note how
New Hampshire speaks with voice potential
and unanimous in support of her cherished son.
Mr.. Baker, the present Governor, was re -nomin-
ated for that post without dissenting voice, and
the following resolutions were adopted not only
unanimously, but amidst much applause:
Resolved, That we now re affirm our confidence
in the Justice of those broad national principles,
and those great measures which the Demo
cratic party of the Union have stood successfully
since the days of jefferson, and which have be-
come so well established as to guide and control
the policy of the country, and which our politi-
cal opponents have been compelled to acknow-
ledge as wise and just
ResolUed, That the Democracy of New Hamp-
shire adhere as firmly as ever to the Platform
adopted at the National Democratic Convention
at Baltimore, and on which the last Presidential
election was so triumphantly fought and won !;
and that we still preserve with increased fervor
our former devotion TO the Constitution and the
and all factions that would ALLEVIATE the affections
of the people from those great bonds of our ma
tional liberty and prosperity.
ReSolUed, That the right to regulate their do
mestic institutions for themselves, within their
own limits, ought TO be enjoyed by the people of
all the States and territories ofthc country-that
the Compromise Acts of 1850 substantially re-
cognized the justice of this principle, which has
at length been made uniform in its operation, by
ION ff IL
for the organization of the Territories of Kansas
and Nebraska.

may have heretofore prevailed in reference to this
measure, and while mutual forbearance and to-

the county, and therefore, we continue to re-

regard
ReS9teed, That we desire those who represent
us III the Legislature to watch carefully over the
interests OF the people, and to wage an uncom-
promising Var against the policy that would
transfer political power to the State from ire Ia

corporations That the true policy of this 90
