Hampshire met ut Concord on the 9Th and
nominated VIM. Hale for Governor and
Quincy o. White for Railroad Commissioner.

Gated Mr.. Harlan's right to his seat, basing
his argument on the assumption that in joint
convention the individuality Of the two
houses was merged and lost in the joint body.

spoke on the opposite side. Question not

IScKArrrrpH AND lMPrpKScE.-ln the dis
pnte which has lately arisen between Prussia
and Switzerland with reference to the canton
of Neufchatel, Louis Napoleon takes the
side Of Prussia. The dispute is substan-
tally this: Neufchate, small canton on
the borders Of Prussia, severed her connec-
ton with the Prussian government BY arev-
dictionary act, and attached herself to the
Swiss confederation. Prussia, however, al
ways denied the rightful departure Of SOW
ereignty from her crown, though in fact it
had departed. A short time since the mo-
anarchists in Neufchatel attempted another
revolution, to restore it to Prussia. The
revolution was n miserable failure, not hav-
ing the sympathies Of the people, and the
Chief agents are now in prison for the Of.
fence. But the King Of Prussia demands
their release, and claims q submission of the
canton to his authority. The Swiss confed.
Grafton defend the sovereignty of the canton
against him, as an integral part Of that Union.
Here is the quarrel. But the base ingrati-
tade OF Louis Napoleon, in siding with Fred.
erick, lies in the fact that Switzerland, BY vir.
tue OF the neutral position which she has
maintained, afforded him an ASYLUM when
he was refugee from justice, having VIC.

And this is the way he returns the kindness
OF his benefactor, his savior, for had Switxer-
land surrender ed him into the hands of Louis
Philippe he would never have possessed the
power Of waiting into the throne of France.
But he is as imprudent as ungrateful, for
