we just quoted? Perhaps it is well enough for him to re
member that the truths which dawned upon him. smarting

shoulder to shoulder in this great contest and who while
they rejoice the election of James Buchanan find no

New Hampshire democrats have done in the late contest

generous and patriotic solcitude which he displayed in
the campaign Tor Mr.. Buchanans success and had his
friends retired from the contest to put the guidance of the
party into the hands Of those who followed Mr. Burke into
know-nothngism and abolitionism in trying hour he
had better remember that the people Of this country value
consistency and honesty above political adroitness and
selfish Mr.. Burke might learn lesson from
his own career If be would. sa Nh
