With uumailed hands ther dsgrAceal prescription and
treason dealt with according to their deserts aud
doing this the quiet ye, strong declarations Of The con

efficient and telling warfare. This capital sign The
error democrats commit i TO temPorizs for

appear with greater honor, or show themselves more
worthy Of their high position, than when they boldly
strike tho hspoon iuto the miserable combinations that

The agents selected TO carry out the principles of the
democracy are worthy Of the old Granite State We
well write too highly Of Hon. John s. Wells, lie
Summer rand sunshine patriot who in crisis hides
his bead aud nsncvey shrinks from the couuirys
vice but he IS worthy successor of the Langdon and
Weare and Pierces and Woodburys who sat in the gu
bernaoria chairs of New Hampshire and with such hon
that all their and fame and they
proved prompt and true champions, has already Gs
proved himself worthy 10 their mantle
Mr. Wells is Of the s,atesmen Of country Of
ripe experience Of large knowledge in political affairs Of
comprehensive patriotism Of feryent and persuasive tlo
quenc and best Of ALL of sincere and hearty love for the
principles Of democracy He is ornament of the demo-
cratic party of the nation aud in his senatorial
made his worth known the nation. To all this which
is but the TRUTH he adds private character proof against
sl calumny if edlumny dare assail it, In such hands
neither The constitution Of the State the United States
would receive derment lie is just the man 10 stand BY
both with that irnness which of duty inspires
In putting such candidate in nomination, the democracy
Of New Hampshire have honored themselves before the
whole country.

have writtenihe very suggestion that such resut
possible would be libel the good sense, ths ine-
gence and the democracy of the Granite Stste But
have the power of the combination of the prevalent
disgracefG elements Facts show that they easily
conquered II requires heavy blows welliought battles
