CONGRESSIONAL NoMNATIoNs-The nomina-
lions for Congress throughout this city seem to
be very costive. In number of districts the
cliques of the various parties assume degree of
obstinacy, and adhere to individuals, which bodies
q complete decentralization Of all the old parties.
Arson Herrick sticks in his convention and
seems to be running into the ground In the
Third district General Walbridge has got the
nomination of one branch Of the democracy, but
the other branch, of which he was supposed to be
sure, has lately began to exhibit signs Of suspend
ed animation. The regular convention has met
twice, but for some cause or other has not been
able to come to an agreement. Is there no way
of solving the problem in favor Of Walbridge!
We must call in the redoubtable Captain Ryn-
ders, who is always ready to unravel these diff
culties amongst the democracy. Why do not the
democrats Of the Third district set up the nomi-
nation to auction appoint the redoubtable Ryn-
ders as auctioneer, and invite Peter Funks and
Peter Schnapps to bid. "Going! the nomination
for the Third district--one hundred dollars for
the nomination-will no gentleman bid? One
hundred, one hundred, one hundred, one hun
bred, one hundred" A nod from Peter Funks.
Zone hundred and fifty, fifty, fifty, fifty, fifty"
nod from Peter Schnapps. 1.-TWO hundred,
two hundred, two hundred two hundred going,
this valuable nomination for the small sum of
two hundred" A nod from Peter Funks. 1.-TWO
hundred and fifty, fifty, fifty, fifty, ffty-will no
one bid higher? It's yours, sir. The nomina-
ton is sold to Mr.. Peter Funks." This is the
only convenient and likely mode Of solving the
democratic difficulties in the Third district. Let
Captain Rynders, by all means, be called in.

NEW-HAMPSHIRE ELECTION.
Correspondence of The N. Y. Tribune.

Correspondence Of The N. Y. Tribune.
NEw-HAMrsHIRE, Monday, March 10, 1856.
The same page that spreads these lines before the
readers of The TRIBUNE, may chronicle the first
ymptoms of success or defeat of the antagonist par
ties here / write not to predict the result, but to
speak of the struggle from my neutral position as
hearty enemy to all parties. The campaign has been
iudiciously planned by both parties. Rum and De-
mocracy have allied as often before. The Guberna-
toIal candidate Of these allies has been all over the
State lecturug on moral suason and the power of the
Gospel as remedy for sin, and the useessness OF
restraining this particular sin by civil law OF Slav-
cry he saws less and he less he hears about it the
better he likes it. The other party, on the other
hand, valves the Temperance issue and spends its
strength on Kansas. The ProhibitOry law is doing
great good here although it cannot get fairly in ope-
ration till the seecmen to be chosen tomorrow, can
take hold of the matter. l am not sure that the
Democrats, if they gain the day, will dare repeal the
law, but if they do, they will seal their DOOM But
the essential thing is to succeed tomorrow.
There is one wide difference between the two
parties. The Democrats are well in funds-they pour
ont money very freely. TIE Campaign Patriot,
daily paper, is to be had at the nominal price of
25 cents but in reality free-postage paid And
hear too of free but secret distributions of rum,
article not easily procurable by the npFovldent, ior
i sometimes costs dollar pint, or must be sent ior
TO considerable distance. But ! believe they do
not always stop here In places where the parties are
very equally divided, a vote can be sold as high as
$40 or s2O OF course l cannot prove this, but do
Lot know tha; It IS doubted.
Their a2veIsaries the other hand, have little or
money to spend; they have not even weekly
campaign paper, and have seen but one document
circulated gratis 1t is broad sheet about the size OF
fourth of a number Of The TRIBUNE. Other ei-
forts correspond and while they earnest, they are
rot much excited. If they are not defeated, D.
mocracy is weaker here than ever thought IL Il
they are defeated, it will be no sign Of what the
Granite State will do this Fall The contest is now
all one side and never have seen money spent so
freely on that side. l cannot think so much can De
spared egain this year. But if the Democrats lose
Now-Hempshire now they had better not spend
dollar On it in the FALL for il win be of no use. Ii
thew are not thousands ahead now, they will be faT
enough behind then. \ Nos CoaBATAST.
