AN ASrr.SEpRAsKA MEETING.



wAsHNcros, Tuesday, March IL, SO.
An Anii-Nebraska meeting Of Members Of
both Houses was held this evening and was well
attended, Senator Foote was chairman, and
Indiana Cumback, Secretary. Senator Wilson
was first called on, and urged general union
Of all in favor OF Free Kansas. Indiana Colfax
vas next called, and earnestly advocated the
Presidential canvass on the single question Of
Slavery non-exiension. Wisconsin Billinghu
spoke briefly in concurrence. Speaker banks
followed in the same spirit. Senator Collamer
and Michigan Howard coucurred cordially, full
ly and forsibIy. Pennsylvania Todd said he
was an American, and would not now commit
himself as to men, but would vote for none but
an Anti-Nebraska President. Then call was
made by States, and Mr. Benson spoke for Maine
heartily advocating the single Anti-Nebrsska
issue. Mr.. Cragin. for New-Hampshire, and
Messrs. Morrill, and Sabin for Vermont, fully
concuued. Mr.. Durfee pledged Rhode Island
for an nii-Nebraska nominee. Mr.. Woodruff
for Connecticut, expressed the views Of the
whole delegation from that State in favor Of q
Presidential canvass on the great issue of Free
dom in the Territories. Governor Seward was
now loudly called for, and responded for New
York in speech Of surprising power, which
elected the warmest enthusiasm. He said he
cared for no party name, Republican, Anii-Ne-
braska, American. OF whatever it might be; he
should vote for that candidate for Presiden, who
represented the great idea Of Freedom. He
had nothing to do with advising plans or organi-
zaiions, but he would heartily cooperate with
all who were determined to preserve this coun-
try from the curse Of universal subjugatOn to
Slavery. All the Free States but California
were represented, aud the spirit evinced was
cheering. The meeting adjourned to next
Tuesday evening. Ii is probable that meetings
Of like purpose will be continued weekly.

SATURDAY, MARcHI5, 1856.
NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION.

NEW ia MFSDtHE EBECTION.
We are in the receipt of partial returns
from the New Hampshire election which in
dictate the defeat Of Wells, the Democratic
candidate for Governor, aud the election Of an
anti-Nebraska majority in the Legislature
In 1856 towns the vote for Governor is; Met
calf, INSTRUMENTATION, 1884; Wells, adj
ministration, % $50; Goodwin, wing, anal
scattering, 209S. About 40 small towns re-
main to be heard from which, if they give
corresponding gain for Wells, with those al
ready reported, will bring the vote Of both
Meicalf and Wells up to about $4,000 each,
with 240O for Goodwin. There is therefore
no election by the people.
To the House Of Representatives i42 Re-
publicans and Americans have been elected,
and II9 administration. The towns to be
heard from are estimated to give 80 admins
tration, aud - INSTRUMENTATION members,
making the anti-udminisiration majority about
10. The Democrats claim majority, in the
Senate, but it is still in doubt.
The Observation-Disclosures party Of New
Hampshire have done well, considering the
circumstances in which they were placed, and
the character Of the foe with which they had
TO contend. Their defeat would have occa-
stoned much more sorrow than surprise in
those who sympathized with them, yet were
fully acquainted with the difficulties by which
they were surrounded. They went into the
election under mnny adverse circumstances,
hui hau ka.s tl.or IL.
the ship Of State.
The administration have played bold aud
sklful game for the prize. Franklin Pierce
knew very well that the defeat Of his party
in his own State would sweep away every
hope Of his denomination at CINCINNATI
Hence his special message and his proclana-
ton, aud hence the subsidies that are said 10
have been laid upon his officials for the pur-
pose of furnishing the sinews Of war. Mon
ey has been expended with lavish hand, and
administration newspapers aud documents
furnished to the voters without money and
without price. No means have been left un.
tried to bring about a different result. But
all to no purpose. New Hampshire is saved
from misrule, and the people Of this nation
are saved from the deep humiliation Of hay-
ing FRANKLIN Pierce ever again, a Presidential
candidate.
The anti-Nebraska party of New Hamp-
shire were this year weakened by the deftc-
ton Of Edmund Burke and his followers.
They were further weakened by the oppose
ton that was felt to the liquor law enacted a.

slightly but II will still DO credit to md-winter
The roads in this county and in the adjoining
towns in New Hampshire, have been more obetruc-
ted with snow during the past few weeks than at
any previous period for several years. The snow
has siftcd in to such an extent end In such man
ner that the utmost caution is requisite in naviga-
ting safely.
The passenger train on the Vermont & Massa-
chusetis Railroad, which left this village for Dos
ton Monday morning, returned Wednesday even
ing few Minutes before II O'Clock. II encoun-
tered the same obstruction that has three times be-
fore, during the present year, delayed its arrival
from one to three days. The cut a short distance
this side Of South Ashburnham station, has been
the scene Of trouble. Every blow has filed It with
snow which each time had to be removed by the
slow process Of shoveling. The banks on either
side Of the track had by this process OF accre,ion,
obtained an elevation of from ID 10 IS feet, and
the new deposit could only be cleared from the
track by being shoyeled over and until il had
been thrown over the tops Of these high embank-
ments. The up Boston train left this cut abOu.
shutdown Wednesday evening. and the cattle train,
which LEFT this place Tuesday, noon, passed the
same place bu, few minutes previous, having
suffered a detention Of more than twenty-fOur
hours. All Of the difficulties growing out Of these
repeated drills could have been obviatcd by the
erection Of high board-fence on the windward
side Of the cut Such provision, we understand
was urged by one Of the directors, but the Boston
members Of the board thought the expenditure
useless. few hundred dollars outlay in oonstruc-
ting such fence last fall. would have saved thou
sands Of dollars Of expense the present winter,
and all the serious inconvenience which have aris-
en- from these numerous detentions

Bot il was enough for him, and all that he de-
handed, 10 take aud gladly 10 accept the place,
which at bed or board, was left unclaimed by
others. He seemed too intent upon his work,
too mindful of his high commission, to dwell
much upon his lodgings by the way. To him
Life was the starting point and death the goal,
towards which he looked for his reward. And
doubtless, with the good and great of all ages
and all elimes, he hath now entered into rest.

REPUBLIcASIsM IN coNNEcrIcur

The Republicans Of Connecticut met in eonven-
ton for the first time on Wednesday, at Hartford.
effected at State organization, and nominated A
State ticket. This ticket is composed of new men
from all Of the old parties which were represented
in Convention. We presume tina, there will be a
good degree Of harmony between ,is and the
American party which carried the State last year.
The action Of the late National Council and Con-
venton of the American party, seems to have rem
dered the organization of the Republican party in
Connecticut necessary at this time. A State elec-
ton is pending, and the friends Of Freedom in Con-
nectieut, although willing enough to support the
men nominated by the American party, do not
wish to labor underline imputation Of giving even
a seeming endorsement to the doings Of the Phia-
delphia Conventions They can act much more
eihcentiy by being untrameiled by any such bur
dens as have operated against their friends in New
Hampshire
Among the leading men, who Of old we're Demo-
Gratis, present and partcpators in the action of,be
Convention, were John NJ. Niles, for many wears
Senator in Congress and at one time Post Master
General Of the United States under Democratic
administration; ex-Gov Cleveland, and Gideon
Wells. These men were all Democrats under the
administration Of Gen. Jackson, but the principles
which they they then entertained as Democracy.
are now best represented by the Republican party.
Gideon Wells was nominated as the candidate Of
the Convention for Governor. over Prof silliman.
Senator, by 2l3 to AZ votes
whatever may be the division Of votes between
the American and Republican parties in Connecti-
cut at the April election. feel quite certain that
the present national administration party will suf
Ter an overwhelming defeat, and that the dough-
lace Senator who mis-represents that State in
Congress will receive another severe, though we'll
merited. rebuke. The result in New Hampshire,
the first gun in the elections of 1856, will receive
q response from the nutmeg State.
