TaE ISSUE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE,
Tho annual election in New Hampshire Tor
| Governor, State Senators, and Representatives,
will take place on the 18th instant. As the
election Of two United States Senators will
deyolve on the Legislature to be chosen, the
great issue that enters into the canvass is the
Nebraska Bill. For asserting this, the New
Hampshire Patriot charges the Concord hide
pendent Democrat with mendacty. The tenn
per Of that unacrupulous print is as detestable
as its tactics are dishonorable.
aThe Abolition organ, with it's usual men
dacity, says the Pat,iot, proclaims tho Nebraska
question to be the issue in our election A
| more deliberate lie was never uttered We
! have proclaimed no such thing, but e1actly the
contrary We have declared that it has and
should have nothing to do with our election.
The Wing and Abolition organs, having no
hope Of making any show Of opposition to the
Democracy upon the real issues, are seeking to
| make this question tho issue in the election ];
and that zoe haue denounced, and shall con-
| tinue to denounce.D
No matter what you have proclaimed you
know that this Nebraska Bill is the issue, and
nothing else; that it is the great measure OF
the Administration, and that, should the Ad-
ministration carry the election in your State,
the triumph would be heralded as an endorse
ment of that measure. There is no old party
question now before the People-n0ne, before
Congress. One question engrosses the Press,
the People, and Congress it is, shall the Mis-
souri, Compromise be set aside, shall the
Law which has preserved the Great Western
/ Territory Of the United States, free from Sla-
very for thirty-three years, be abrogated The
Administration says it shall, and it is using all
its energies to effect the object. The New
Hampshire Patriot and its affiliated presses,
receiving special favor from the Anministra-
ton, say that it shall, and they are using all
their efforts to seduce the People into acquies-
cence with the measure The President wishes
that the two Senator'S to be chosen by the new
Legislature Of New Hampshire shall be COM
mitted to this its chief measure; and heaven
and earth are to be moved to carry the State
| Of New Hampshire, 80 as to secure its endorse
ment. The Washington Union for once tells
the truth, fairly and squarcly
"Upon the Legislature to be chosen" it
SAYS, " will devolye the election OF two United
| States Senator's fact OF itself sufficient to
1 impart extraordinary interest to the canvass.
This, together with the other fact that the
issue presented By the Territorial bill for The
organization Of tie Territories Of Kansas and
Nebraska moo pending before Congress, has
been freely, promptly and boldly accepted by
The Democracy of Neac Hampshire, and adopted
by its Democratic press has cordially united the
Ways, the Abolitionists, the Free Soiiers, the
| Name Law men, and all the other dsluded and
fanatieai elements Of the STATE, IN opposition 10
Democracy
Of course, all the world understands this as
well as the Union }. and the Ne,o Hampshire
Patriot need not dodge the question. The
simple issue presented TO the People Of New
Hampshire is, Shall the Missouri Compromise,
exompting the Territory Of Nebraska from
slavery, DO abrogatedl Shall the North be
swindIed out Of tho consideration for which it
agreed to that Compromise Let them answer
at the Ballot Box.
