The First Fruit.

The latest and most reliable informa.
ton received renders il certain tina, the
democracy of New Hampshire have sus.
tanned a signal il no, perfectly overwhel.
ming defeat. Gen. Pierce carried the
State by 5000 majority, and las, year the
democratic majority in the House of
Representatives OF that State was eighty
nine. The latest advices from tina, quar-.
ter now represent that these immense
majorities are entirely overcome-tha,
Mr.. Baker, democratic candidate for
Governor, is elected by only few hun
ldred--and the eighty nine democratic
majority in the last House of Represent
stives now gives place TO majority on
1.-The other side. In addition to all this i,
is also stated that no less than twelve
members OF the House just elected. and
claimed a. democrats, are of what is call
ed ".he old guard" and opposed to the
administration.
That this a tremendous reverse of for
tune is the natural result Of the Nebras.
Ia excitement, and has been brought a.
bout by the manner an which that ques.
ton has been forced upon the people by
indiseree. leaders and an infatuated press,
cannot be for moment questioned -
Gen. Pierce has always been the idol Of
the New Hampshire democracy-his
name has beef at any time for twenty
years past a tower Of strength among
shem-but Notwithstanding all this. des-
.pera.e leaders and reckless press, for
purposes personal to themselves, having
identified his administration with the
Nebraska bill, the people cas-, behind
them all considerations of personal al.
,achmens, and the result 10 now before
she world. We do no. argue from these
facts that President Pierce, in his own
person. 10 single vote weaker TO day in
New Hampshire than he was year

The Cuse or the Black Warrior.
There can be no question or doubt bu,
IT the affair Of the Black Warrior had
occurred ia an English or French nor,
instead Of Spanish colony, it would
moi have been received with such warmth
OF indignss1on as 10 now manifested.
II seemed vhat the ship carried cargo Of
cotton from Mobile for New York. and
on entering Havana found that her con.
signees there had already cleared her for
departure az being in ballast. II appear.
ing that instead of ballast she carried
valuable cargo. the revenue officers seiz.
ed her for infrac,ion Of the law. The
'consignee said tina, steamers 20 laden
had always been allowed to enter and
clear as in ballast, and indeed tina. as the
'esrgo was intended for New York only,
az Tar as Havana was concerned the cot.
ton bales were in fact as strictly ballas.
90 so much weight of stone. Thi, reas.
Oning was, however. not admitted. II
the steamers hitherto had been tolerated
IN violating the Law j, was high time for
the practice 10 cease; the statute was
explicit and must now take its course.
To this the consieuee replied by claim.
ing the well-established right amending
the manifest wi'lih twelve hours; bu,
was answered tina, by some formali,y in
.ne case this right had already been lost.
He could take the ship bu, mus, give
heavy 6ovtls to NEE, the penalties of the
law. This he refused to do, after which
the authorities proceeded TO take on. The
sorfeited cargo, whereupon the captain
struck lis flag and Withdrew from his
vessel. resigning it into the hands of the
revenue officers.
This - general outline OF the matter
as reported by the consignee, and our
readers will agree lha. il is no, so entirely
on one side as to justify Instant or future
'inroads on the island. II is not alleged
,hatihe authorities have overs,epped their
own revenuelaw or failed to accomplish
all their literal obligations. They have
violated nothing bu, usage establish.
ed contrary to law, and enjoyed merely
AZ favor, which those granting it have
a good tight to revoke as they may
please. aa
The case is not unlike the famous
seizure Of French brandy by the United
States authorizes at San Francisco I'm
'der Mr.. Fillmore's Administrations
Though the letter Of the law was on our
eide in that affair, our Government list.
ened 10 the reclamations Of France, and
very properly caused an indemnify TO be
paid TO The sufferers. We presume tina.
Spain will pursue similar course in the
present question, but at any rate, till she
has refused to do SO, buster on our part
is unnecessary as i. is unbecoming.--N
