The Right Spirit in New HampahIre
That sterling organ Of democracy the Nav uoror-
shire Patriot holds the following out spoken and lear
less sentiments in regard 10 the pending contest in the
Granite State:
We, on pat, challenge the opposition to
discussion of the wisdom, the proprety, the patriot
ism of every of President Perces admnstra-
ton Letthere be no lodging, skulkng, no play
ing last and loose, avoiding the record but plain
distinct and manly examination of all the great ques-
tlons involved. Let it be a stand up fight We defy
the black republican Hindoos 10 the consideration of
OF the constitutional relations Of slavery treated in
the recent annual message of President Pierce We
ask them Tor plain and direct issue constitution
al prnclpes-on the great principles of non nterven-
ton and nondlscrlmination the high constitutional
ground occupied by Franklin Pierce in his recent
great State paper. Such an issue we know to be 4
safe and solid one, upon which the democracy can
meet and vanquish fanatics, factonists, and disun
lonlsts Right, justice and plighed faith the con-
stItution-these, among Others shall be the watch
words We hold it 10 be incontrovertble that, under
the constitution President, senator, member
OF Congress, whatever nay be his private opinions
spectng the character Of the domestic institutions
likely 10 be preferred by the people of any State or
Territory, has. acting in bis official capacity any right
to discriminate between section and another in
reference those peculiar institutions All are equally
to be regarded. Will the opposition papers denv
this! Will theiblack republican Hndoos teny the
wisdom, the justice, the constitutionaty of the two
great principles of non interference and non -dscrm-
nation, which imbodied in and underIie Nebraska
law The democratic party is for the constitutions
ior the Union, no interference no discrimination
and upon these issues, with Others upon that of the
wisdom of all the measures of President Pierce's ad
mInlstratlon, we defy the enemies of the democracy
TO the contest!'
WHEN TO WEAR INDIA RUBBERs Rs-We have no.
tced that many persons India rubber over
shoes, IN cold, dry weather keep their feet warm
ndi rnhh hhar
shoes are very comfortable and valuable for cover
ing the feet during wet, sloppy weather, but they
should never be worn on any other occasiOn-their
sole use should be to keep out water They should,
therefore, be put off whenever the wearer enters a
house. and be little possible, because they
air tight and both retain and restrain the persp-
ration OF the feet. The air cannot be excluded ,om
them or from any other portion of the body for any
length OF time without sensibly affecting the health.
Ii is our opinion that no habit tends more to good
health than clean feet and clean dry stockings so as
TO allow the free persplrailon Of The neither extremi

THE Ice BRIDGE AT CINC1NNATI-The ice bridge
over the Ohio (says the Cincinnati Commercially
between Cincinnati and CovingtOn and Newport has
at length become a highway. Humanity Of almost
every age, from little boys and girls to old men and
aides, may be seen passing to and fro at all times of
the day, and sometimes hundreds would be moving
towards State or the other between the opposite
shores. Express wagons, drays and sleds, well
loaded were drawn over by horses frequently
Hundl eds and thousands of pounds Of pg-ron were
carried over on the ice TO Covngton to her oundries
and iron was brought to this side Wood and various
other articles were hauled from shore to Shore and
one drove of cattle driven over. Upon the
whole, the frost wrought bridge is in good order and
hence ferries just now are in little demand.
KANSAS FREE STATE.-A correspondent of the
New ork Times speaks Of a scheme for rem
dering Kansas a free State 1t is to memorabilia
Congress to remove the present boundary line of
Kansas northward to the Platte river and include the
same IN Kansas, leaving all the beautiful country
north of the Platte river in the Territory Of Nebras
ka, thereby giving addition Of actual and bono
tde settlers to Kansas of 3lOO of which 900 are vo-
ters. Nine tenths of this population are in favor of
freedom TO Kansas, and hence the principal object
to make Kansas q free State.
