The . IcroRrn IN New HAMpsH1RE-We beg


to call the attention of our Wing and Know Nothing
cotemporaries who are now rejoicing with exceeding
iov over the result of the New Hampshire election,
10 the causes which produced that result, and the ell
ements which enter into it. They will see that,
thopch defeated, the Democrats were neither disban
dad nor djsmayed-that twenty.seven thousand Dem
ocras in that State stood their ground 10 the last
and that their ultimate triumph is fixed fact. The
coalition has made its grantes effort. 1t can never
make such another
But to the result and it's causes, as assigned by
that organ of anti Slavery, the New York Tribune
Its article reads as foows--it speaks for itself:

by Atkinson, Douglas Pierce, and their agents and

Its little merits like the veto of the Collins line, tor
