ANOTHER GREAT VICTORY |!

ANOTHER GREAT VICTORY!
We are called upon q herald to our
readers tile achievement Of another tri-
hmpll to American principles. From the
Granite Hills Of New Hampshire the voice
of her sterling sons las again declared
iheir abiding faith in the platform Of the
American orgapization, aud their deter-
minariortto adhere 10 that which is inti-
maIely couliected with the welfare Of the
country. GSS
Let it be known, too, thai This victory
was achieved over The combined Efforts
and the most extraordinary cxertions on
The part of the Administration. Never
was such energy displayed on the part OF
the Old Line Democracy as that which
found It's occupation during The late New
Hampshire canvas.
From this fact and the experimental
knowledge we possess of the dupicity
and nrriguery prac'ced, we in reality
feared its effect, and for a time doubled,s
result. The reason for all this we give as
follows:
General PIERCE is very anxious for the
nomination for the next Presidency, and
in orGer 10 do so with proper showing.
Ire needed that his own State SHOULD pres
sent such an aspect in favor of the Democ,.
eacy as would offer an inducement 10 his
party 10 give him such nomination.
To this end, the mandate went forth
that neither pains nor expense were to
be spared in carrying New Hampshire
for the Democracy. Meetings were held
in every portion Of the STATE, aud with the
thermometer at zero and the roads badly
driIled with snow, persons travelled in
some instances tiirty miles to be present
at such gatherings. The most prominent
politicians and the most eloquent speak
ers. were pressed into the service, and
urged TO eXerlion for the redemption Of
Locorncoism. Cilizcns of New Ilamp-
shire who were in neighboring States,
, were urged by ;he press To rctnrn home
and vote. The government officers, not
only in New Hampshire, hNl in Massa-
chusel,s and New York, were laid under
) contribution TO furnish funds for buying
votes in the grea' contest. This last
named system was carried 10 such an cx-
tent that we find some of the Democratic
press severe in their denuncations against
The heavy laXalion INDUCED in. The
, Hudson City Demncral Terms il "base
] imposition" and threatens retaliation.
