Do not give much consideration to what would
appear as Ehig movement in this State, as it VIII
not be much regarded here and, indeed, 1t was
not int nded for anything more than smpl, to Sc
cure few votes against the so.caled Democratic
marty. which otherwise might not be polled on the
Ilth ofnext month. The Wings in this State, who
will not vote the Know Nothing ticket, are not
"Slter Greys, nor " Compromise Hebsfer bh'ss,
but are at heart Republicans, yet this class OF
voters took no part in the late Convention. Some
Of them will vote for the present Governor, aud the
candidates upon the State ticket with him, while
others will vote scattering, and some will vote Tor
the excellent nominee of the late Wing Conyen-
ticn. who will not receive more than :, 800 votes.
BE assured of one thing, however: Mr.. Wells, the
representative OF the National Administration, Will
not come within Thousands of an election, and yet
he will poll 5000 more votes for Governor than
President Pierce could possibly poll for 3 re-elec-
ticn to the Presidency. Last year the popular
nominee Of that party in this State for Governor,
received sCCO more votes thsn could have been
secured for Gen. Pierce had the contest been
Presidential one.
Had tie Republicans organized themselves into
q raIty. and brought out candidates tor State
officers, as early as October last they would have
polltd at the coming election at least ~, co., and
Teen GRE Of the Two stronges. parties in the state
SIS il would have drawn j, eco votes 10 its candi-
dates which will now be given to the Democratic
nominees as well a. 10. Geo outside Wings and
Free. Soil men, most of whom, for the want OF an
organization. voted last year for the Know
Nothing candidates, and who will do the same
again next month. aud do it for the last time
during the present century at least; and TO these
would also have been added from 5000 to 10000
votes BY men ho are yet inside OF secret political
Organizations.
As soon ms the near-at-hand election shall have
raised Republican organization will be formed
in the Granite State, in whose hands will be the
electoral vote of the state in November next. or
ills you may rest assured.
TIE late visit 10 this place of Messrs. Orr
South Carolina Cobb Of Georgia. Weller of Cali
forIia. Lane Of Oregon, and the Rev. Dir. Lovejoy
If Massachusetts, has not strengthened the party
whose interests they came to aid, but rather it has
done that PARTY a positive disseryce, as the Dem
ocratic PARTY in this State contains many tenn
perauce and ant-Savery men. Mr. Orr repeated
the anecdote related by your now Ex-Governor
SeyuOur. wherein he represented religious
msp, or rather a hypOcrite who protested
he vetoed your PrOhibitOTy Liquor Law. aud
thanking him fer 70 doing, said: " He mad been
e" long and thorough in his examination OF the
" Bible teachings, touching the use of beverages
"as therein taught, and be found many pas
4" saccs which either recognized or rec jmme nded
'the use OF strong drinks; but in no instance
gave one, where water was recommended or
called for and that was by man in hell, where
he ought TO be-" But Mr. o. old not tell his
hot AZ GOV u he
told this BLACKBOARD aDecdote, and at the next
election his constituents refused to reelect
man who seemed to wish all true tenn
perance nen in serious troubles merely to crafty
rum-rowdies. nor would they give him plurality
of votes where there were four candidates for the
same office. In no other State in the Union could
such an iltimed anecdote have been told TO the in
jury Of the speaker more clearly than IN this State
and especially in the capital thereof. The same
may be said Of the small things attempted to be
uttered at the expense Ofthe Black Republicans"
large portion of the Democrats attending the
great meetings addressed by Orr, Cobb, Weller,
Lane and others, on the 9TH inst. did not desire
to hear Slavery and Intemperance cOmplimented
at the expense Of Freedom and Temperance nor
were they over anxious to hear much of sectariau-
i'm, especially if it was colder toward New-En-
gland than Roman nations.
The Republicans of New England are very
anxious that no candidate shall be put in noInina-
ton for President and Vice President at Philadel-
phia the last Of next week, or indeed until after
the Cincinnati Democratic Convention shall have
been held, as by that time the Republican party
will embrace very nearly all in the six New.En-
gland States who are opposed to the policy of the
present National Administration. The friends OF
president Pierce are exceedingly anxious to have
the Convention of the 22d inst. nominate
their candidates, as they believe such
movement would aid them in securing Mr.
rierces denomination, whereas they would not
dare put him upon the track again If the contest In
the Free States is to be between his friends ana
united opposition. They say: "lf the Know
Nothing party do not nominate their candidates
