During tho session of this body, which has

tive TO Congressional call for National Con-
vention. and fUr changing the time OF the Phil

eous.
After deliberaton, it has been agreed by the

disisons,) who are opposed to the repeal Of the
Missouri Compromise and the policy of the pres

stored 10 the principles Of WASHINGTON and

2. rFrom the Worcester Palladium, pemocratc.l
THE CHANGE OF THE DEMOCRAT
.r &c PARTY, AND ITS RESULTS.
In 1913 the Democratic party lin New
Hampshire,) with Gen. Pierce at its head, ,ouk
strong and decided ground against he ertsqsion
Of slavery in,o free territory. Their resolutions
aud speeches TO that effect are upon record ;
and the party stood strong 10 that position
Since that time, change has taken place. The
demand of the South, that il has a right 10 car
ny slaves like other property, into free terrific
~, has been recognized, aud its ptopririy adj
miiied. Large masses Of the people have not
yielded 10 a conviction that such extension Of
slavery can be sustained on any ground of right,
" law, or of humanity and consequently they
continue to believe in 1856 what they believed
ia 1913 and that belief from the necessity Of
the case, induces them TO express at the polls
The same opinions now which they held eight
years ago. and, il that expression happens 10
be in favor of other candidates than those Of
the Democratic party, they maintain that the
fault, IL there be one, is not chargeable to them.
This is thu explanation which New Hampshire
men give Of the change which has taken place
in the relative strength Of parties in that State.
While admitting that Amoicdnim-as it is
called--has some influence in their elections,
they contend that the great controlling idea has
been opposition 10 slaeay eriensoa- embracing,
as they maintain, opposition, not only to the
thing itself. but 10 the men who are in favor of
extension.
Here is a point for the Democratic marty 10
consider. Here stands great fact, which can
moi be winked nm, of siobt bu, mus, be met.
Here is the sentiment, as strong at least in New
Hampshire in ls56-as il was in 1913, Of inhox-
ible hostility TO the carving of slavery into
free territory. Nothing is gained by denounc-
ing that sentiment as "abolitionism," "black
republicansm,n and rabble more of such ep-
ithets. Men now look at things more than al
names, and political nicknames, which have ey-
er been vulgar resort. are found to be of all
THINGS the mos, harmless. The sentiment mus,
be consulted if the Democrats Of New lamp
shire would regain the oscendancy they were
wont to have in their State. The party, il is
true, is historical; but the people have shown
that they prefer right to power.
The hostility TO slavery extension is a grow
ing sentiment. II becomes more and more fix
ed as a principle. The people are wearie,l
with the everlasting exhibition of slavery in
every demonstration that government is called
upon 10 make Of itself they want it should
be- kept 10 the States where il belongs. and
never more be heard Of out Of those States. -
They do not admit that negro slave is 10 be
treated as property everywhere. the same as

the disorganizers Of the South and by the
dough Democracy Of the North. The Pres
dentlal office does not demand man Of shin
ing intellectual ability or Of great political ex-
periencc. What we want Is CHARACTER and
HONESTY. Without the first, President is
the merc sport of circumstances, and the mere
slave of his party, the easy dupe Of the de-
signing, and the tool now Of this faction and
now of that. Without the last, great talents
only entail upon the country heavier misfor-
