Cautionary.

Under this head the New Hampshire
Statesman advises the Boston Courier and
other Hunker papers that are gloating over
what they call a wing movement in New
Hampshire, considering it similar in charac-
ter to what took place in this State and
Massachusetts,, last fall, "that it would be
inexcusable wrong to suppose that men who
were connected with the Wing party of New
Hampshire would place themselves in sucha
humiliating and dcplorablc attitude as dida
portion of their former political brethren in
the above two States"
1t says "whilc there aremcn who desire to
carry on their ticket wing candidate for
Governor, "they are utterly hostile to the
national administration" and it, PR Slavery
propaganding schemes, and tells the Boston
Courier and papers in sentiment with it "if
they are expecting demonstration that
shall countenance, by the breadth of a hair,
such procedures as were witnessed in Maine
and Massachusetts,, they are, If we be cor
rect judges of the stuff the old Wing party
Of this State was made of, and of the present
sentiments of such rs call the Convention to
be held next week, doomed to certain disap-
pointment."
Our New Hampshire contemporary has
very good idea Of the character ofthe Straight
wing movement here last fall, and we are
glad to hear hat nothing like il is to come
of in New Hampshire.
There were many well meaning men Sc
duced into the movement last fall, but the
doings at Augusta and the efforts Of por-
ton Of the Straight wing press to transfer
them bodily to the Pierce Democracy, and
make them mere hobs to the Democratic
kite has opened their eyes to the designs Of
thinbh rigging leaders who would for few
paltry Offices for themselves move heaven
and earth to transfer the more honest voters
who supported Reed last fall, to the Nebnas-
ka Pro-Slaver Democracy. These leaders
played good cari'for themselves last fall,
one which it will be difficult for them to
play again. Their tricks are found out.

Nebraska Democracy about "forcign hire

and we find the Nebraskals in New Hainp-
shire calling upon Orr Of South Carolina,

patriotic manner, and addressed meeting

Matters at Augusta.

Last week We made flying visit to the
Capitol. While there, we looked about,
yankee like, trying to ascertain what obsta-
cles the coalition" had encountered which
impeded their progress in overturning all
the doings of the last Legislature, and for
the benefit of the Liquor men in this quar-
ter, we endcavorcd, especially, to learn
why the Maine Law had not been repealed
and authority gwen them, to sell ere this.
We knew that some of them were getting
sick with " hope deferred and our benevO-
lent feelings prompted us to ascertain, if we
could, when that law, which one Of them
told us would be repealed before the Legis-
lature had been in session forty-eisht
hours" still continued on the statute book.
Enquiring in all quarters, and not restrict
ing them to any particular party. we learned
what we suspected before, that the coalition,
which was to take care Of the matter at once,
and frame law which would satisfy the
temperance men, and at the same time allow
free rum and its free sale, was 4 difficult
matter to deal with. The committee had
set upon il several times, and had Matched
nothing, and what they would hatch at last,
nobody could tell. Gov. Wells license views,
