The American, of New Hampshire.

The State Council Of New Hampshire held
Session at Nashua on the 18th inst, at
which series OF resolutions WITS passed
which we find in the Manchester American.
The following trou rh" number, hrelthe the
right .pult
ReSoircd, That freedom being national and
slavery sectional, while the latter is left in
the exercise OF all its strictly constitutional
rights, IN the states where it now exists, its
further extension and longer connection with
the general government should be- uncompro-
mislngly opposed and resisted, and the laws
Tor the execution OF It's existing privileges
be made to conform TO the dictates OF Justice
and humanity.
ReSoIrsd, That the question OF the extern
SION OF slavery, Is now presented to the coun-
try by the repeal OF the Missouri Prohibition,
by the outrageS lIactlscd in Kansas, under
the sanction cot the administration. and hv
the decision OF AN arbitrary and tyrauuictl
Federal Judge, which, II adopted as the iu-
dlcial doctrine OF the government, will make
every Free State in the | mon slave terrific
ry, Is the paramount question now before
the nation, ahd that W believe the time has
arrived when all who opp1sr the further en-
croachments of slavery, aud would restore
the policy OF the Father, OF the Repuhhc
Should unite their effort, aud cooperate Tor
that purpose.

l.
Nrw-ORLKASs, Thursday, Mach g, 1885.
The Cuban enterprise appears to have received
new impulse and the msn who hsve been enlisted in
the cause are now promised through tcke. to Cube
by the lightning express line. QaIsnan will be
about. The steamships Of the expedition are nov
their way to headquarters and there 10 every iudcs
ton of speedy departure. Many Of the officers OF
the companies which have been organized in the State
Of Mississippi have arrived in the city; fev Of the
men are also here but mos. Of the troops are awaiting
orders to come down. dispatch will be sent for
them as soon as transportation is ready There will
be an entire failure Of the expedition unless leaves
within the next four weeks threats have been made h
q withdrawal Of funds subscribed, will certainly take
place unless prompt measures are taken for speedy
departure. The news received by the stes nship Ca-
hswba yesterday, Is considered favorable by the ex-
pedtiopists, and Quitman will, no doubt be able to
make successful landing.
Our city election comes of on the 26th OF present
month but up 10 this time no attempt has been made
by eitt er party TO organize; no nominations have
been made, and, dpp1renty no interest Is taken in
the CANVAS The Wing party in the South is dead,
and has been buried in Know. Nothing soil. The
Democrats of this city are nowhere. The Know
Nothipgs have at esst two thirds Of the legal voters
of the city pledged TO their party. Nearly every
American Democrat has joined The new party, snd
the Democratic party may now be considered the
foreign organization. No city in the world has suf-
fersd 20 much a. this ore by bad government in fact
We have no government at all hope the neH Order
will give us q reform administration, anc that New
Orleans will show some sign Improvement. There
lie no doubt we have been going do sn hill for the last
ten years; there certainly has been increase In
population during that long period OF years, and we
are not az prosperous as we were in 1sf5. At the
present time there are over hundred stores vacant
In the business part Of the city. hsve every conf
dence in the promises of the new party to give US a
good city government, and for one l sm willing to
Give them fair trial although sm not q member of
any of the numerous wigwsms established in this city.
Our Legislature is hard at work dong nothing:
The danger of an overflow of the city is considered
to be very great and alarming, and our Mayor hiss
Legislature prompt action for our protection from
such calamity.
