All Hail Naw Hamnshira.

1t looks again as though there would be a
North. Democratic New Hampshire has
replied to the Nebraska vii llainv by rePudi-
ating its auth ors. The party Of Pierce and
Douglas have lost even that State, in which
of all the northern members of the Union
such revolution could least be looked for.
This glorious and cheering fact, unexpected
and for the past few days altogether un-
hoped for even BY the friends Of freedom,
must strike the conspirators at Washington
as with the hand Of avenging justice. In
the popular branch OF the Legislature the
united Free Sellers and Wings have sure
and sufficient majority. No Slavery exten-
sions, no repndator Of the Missouri Com
promise, no Williams or Norris can hope to
be heard at Washington as Senator IRON
that State for wears to come. Thank God
that this foul treason, this wanton lnva-
sion of the rights of freedom is thus decis-
ively repudated by tie people at the first
State Election where it could come before
them for Judgment. We should not have
been disappointed had the result proved
otherwise. for the Pierce men struggled
desperately throughout the State, denying
that the National Executive held the repeal
Of the Missouri proviso to be party ques-
ton, or in any sense question at this cleo
ton Notwithstanding all, they are beaten
and solely because the people would not in
any way. even by implication, make them
selves accessory to this nefarioas measure.
And now in the face Of this result. will
the House of Representatives go OH ana
pass the bill! Will they defy the unan!-
nous feeling of the Northern States, after
the egregious and imposing manifestation
now made in New Hampshire! We do not
know and for the moment seek not to fore
tell. Let them do it if they dare. We defy
the conspirators to consumniatc their crime
The handwriting is on the wall, and the
unsparing verdict will move swiftly to its
ardent and scornful executon.-N. y. Tri-
huHc.

Douglas burned in Efigy.

We never expected to see so great revul-
sion in public opinion, as that, which would
induce the residents, neighhors and MAJOR
ity Of the hitherto political friends OF Sena-
tor Douglas. st his own home, to burn him
in ctfioy. With an unbounded popularity
with the masses, it was strange procedure

BEAUTIFUL SEsTIMENT.-The following
fine sentiment is from the pen of Hon.
George S. Hilliard, Of Massachusetts:
Il confess that increasing years bring
with them an increasing respect for men
who do not succeed in life, as those words
are commonly used. Heaven is said to be
place for those who have not succeeded
upon earth: and it is surely true that ce-
lestial graces do not best thrive and bloom
in the hot blaze of worldly prosperity. Ill
success sometimes arises from supera-
bundance OF qualities in themselves good
from conscience too sensitive, taste too
fastidous, a sef-forgetiulness too roman
tic, modesty too retiring. ! will not g.
so far as to say, with a living poet, that
.the world knows nothing OF its greatest
men," but there are forms Of greatness. or
at least of excellence, tina: ''die and make
no sign" there are martyrs that miss the
palm, but not the stake; heroes without
the laurel, and conquerors without the tri-
umph."

Look to the Senate y

Look to tho Senate
In the better days Of the Republic, the
above was an expression commonly heard
We are sorry to say that the expression has
lost its significance, and that the Senate OF
the United States is approaching the char
acter Of the British House Of Lords.
II history be, according to BoIingbroke'
expression, Philosophy teaching by exam
pies, it would be well for the honorable
Senators Of our country to ponder on the
fact; or, if they fail to do SO, they will GER
tainly experience the same loss OF dignity
and influence which has been felt by the
upper house or the British Parliament: and
the consequence will be here as it has been
in England, that all real power will be con-
fined and conided to the members Of the
lover house.
There must be an unfortunate fatality
which makes the holders Of power for a long
number Of years, negligent or regardless Of
the epinous and wishes of their constitu-
ents; but such appears to be the fact, and
the fact will eyentuate IN changing the
present mode of electing Senators. unless
they change their own way Of interpreting
and acting upon the known wishes of the
people

Very contradictory reports have been
published in relation to the number of lives
lost by the sinking of this boat on the Lower
Mississippi.
The Memphis Evsning -Nesas, Of the l4th,
contains list of the passengers saved, and
further adds:
The number lost could not with any cer-
tainty be aseertained; it is variously extl-
mated al from twenty to oseventy-ive. among
whom was the Rev Mr.. Benson, Of Mount
Vernon, Ohio; child + Mrs. Permion, the
second mate and ten negroes belonging to
John Purnell, Esq, OF Maryland. The

San FRANclsco MARKET.-The accounts
from San Francisco report an embarras sed
state OF trade in the San Francisco market
owing chiefly to an overstock of merchau-
disc aud scarcity Of money. Great sacrItic-
were made to meet freight charges. New
fire proof stores, built with money borrowed
at 5 per cent, month, could not be rented.
This is a favorable sign. Nobody should
rent such stores, except at loss to the
owners Facts must prove, in due time,
that the "fast" rents Of San Francisco have
more on the way.---Galeaa Advertiser.

Effects q a European War upon the United
StGtfa

While the clouds Of war are gathering
over Europe, the question naturally arises.
how viii such war affect the United States!
We do not appreheni that it will produce
any material effect, especially at first. II
our government exercise any thing like
common prudence, there is no danger Of our
being drawn into the contest; and as the
war will be carried on principally upon the
land, Or in the narrow seas, it will not ma
teriaily interrupt our commerce. II the
Russian ports should be blockaded 50 as to
cut off all our trade with that power, it
would produce no very serious effect. Our
imports from Russia amount to only about
5l,50O,oo0 year: and the principal articles
of import, such as hcmpen goods, iron and
brstles, can be manufactured or produced
in this country. Our exports to Russia
amount to only about 81 800 900, consisting
mostly Of cotton, tobacco and rice; and in
case our direct trade with her should be in.
terrupted, these articles would find their
way to Russia, through Germany or Prus-
sa; So that we should experience no pal.
ticular injury on that score.
Our trade with Turkey amounts to only
about 55oo,ooo annually, which would be
but tritla, even if that should be cut off.
- WI y oiit ~ ohi iAaPcssS isSAs
Turkey, and ou- own country can produce
enough for our consumptio or it can be
obtained from Sonti. America. But we do
not apprehend that cur trade with Turkey
will be materially interrupted. In case Of
war cur shipping interest would suffer in
some particulars, but what would be lost in
enc respect, would be more than gained in
another. II the war should become gener-
al, we should in all probability enjoy the
carrying trade III no small degree, which
would give full employment to our CONNER
cial marine. Besides, such a war would
create demand for our breadstutFs and pro-
visions, which would prove direct benefit
to the country. Such Il war would also
tend to promote cur manufacture: e interest,
which would render US less dependent upon
foreign powers.
Viewed, therefore, in any light, We are
unable to see any injury which would re-
suit TO Us, as nation. On the contrary,
we believe that if our government maintains
common prudence, we shall escape all the
evils Of TRANSATLANTIC war; and may turn i
to our own commercial account Unless
the present administration should seize up.
On the disturbed state OF Europe, to prose-
cute some mad scheme Of aggression upon
Cuba. Mexico or Central America, we
should be anharined BY contlctin Europe;
and its general results would undoubtedly,
like the last continental war, advance the
cause OF civil liberty in Europe, and
throughout the world.-Bosioa Atlas.

In a moment otthe most intense curl
