The New HAMPSHIRE GOVERNOR.
sH1P.-The New Hampshire Patriot
says:
"The old saying is, that there is no
knowing who will be Governor until
after election, meaning the June
election. This is peculiarly true at
the present time. While our clasifi-
cation of the members of the House
gives majority of fourteen against
the democracy, we regard the election
of Mr.. Wells by the Legislature as by
no means improbable. We would
sooner bet on his election than on that
of Mr.. Metcalf."
