New HAmpsHRr.-Ths New Hampshire

New HAMpsHlRE.-The New Hampshire
Patriot gives history of the way the know
nothing nomination was effected. First a
meeting Of certain leading spirits of the whig,
abolition and know nothing factions were held
at Nashua, when it was agreed that Ralph
Metcalf should be nominated. Then there was
a regular know nothing convention al Manches-
ter, of three hundred and seventy delegates,
when the ratification Of caucus was made
The object is no, 10 elect Meicalf, but 10 chea,
democrats into the support Of abolition whig
candidates to chea, democrats into the cleo
tion of whig- abolition senators just as the abo-
into voting for the election of Wilson. The
sooner honest democrats, who have been in
duced TO join know nothing lodges, open their
eyes, the better it will be for the country In
Concord, N. H., in one ward twenty-five men,
bers gave notice of withdrawal. This was a
regular stampede.
A CLEAN SwEEP.-We are informed that
every democrat has withdrawn from the k. n.
lodge in ward EAST Villaae) since the Man
chester nominations. The ticket thus cooked
up was too strong mea, for the democrats of
that ward to swallow. The design of the thing
was too palpable, and they were not quite
green enough to be taken in by it. Having
thus become convinced of the iniquity and rot
tenness Of the whole thing, they saw no other
course for honest democrats but to abandon it.
And this is the course that is being pursued by
democrats in all sections they are coming out
from the foul organization by scores, and BY
the day of election there will not be one left in
it who does not design To become an abolition

A WELL DESERVED CONFERENCE.-The
New York Express, a well known partizan of
the Wing school has the honesty and manli
ness to speak out its admiration of the stern
and unfinching integrity of character which
marks the head of the Treasury Department.
+" Mr. Guthrie has, in the discharge of the
duties of his office, surpassed all expectation
both IN his abilty-in his exemption from
party tolies-and his trustworthiness-and we
see no reason why we should not say So He
has not only administered the Treasury well
but in the main. he has guarded it we'll
and in the period OF a wide spread bankruptcy,
he is likely to have lost but little. He has
been fair man-an upright man, an honor
able man. What more need be said land
| may we not add-it would be public pity to
loose such man-in the natural apprehension
we have, that if we go further the public will
fare worse. Hence, we hope there is no truth
in the rumor that he is about to leave Wash
ington and go home to Kentucky.

BUSINESS BEFORE THE LEGISLATURE. The
racy correspondent of the Portland Advertiser,
writing from the capitol, says:
" Judging from present appearances, !
should say that no more than two-thirds of the
Legislation sought last winter will be required
this. The hard times have much TO do with
the falling off. Take for instance the Bank
ing, Mercantile, and Railroad Committees
they have nothing of that crowd of bills and
'bill-holders' which assailed them last year.
The only exception that know of, is in the
case of the Judiciary Committee there is a
desperate run on that department, which, !
am afraid, will soon cause it TO burct. 1t will
certainly over issue lis stock OF information
unless the prevailing habit of asking its opin-
ion on everything, soon goes out of fashion
If member is too lazy to think about par
ticular matter himself, or if he don't know
what else to do, he coolly gets up and pro-
poses that the Committee on the Judiciary be
ordered 'to enquire into the expediency of
(for instance) of doing something about our
real estate laws. Well, perhaps, that honor
able committee will break its intellectual back
in peeking into all these 'expediences'-ant
then, perhaps, it lO0nt."

wrote, were on his dying bed, under circum-
stances which showed the preparedness of his
soul for its ascent to the spirit-land. Beck
oning his daughter to his side, with a faint
hand tracing his request upon slate, he sig
nifed his desire that she would sing. The
request was affecting and she asked what, if
anything in particular, he most desired her to
sing He seized the pencil, and with a trem-
bling, dying grasp, wrote
