HON. EDMUsD BURKE AND THE DEMOCRACY OF
NEW HAMPSHIRE AND THE UNION.
Since the presidential election two articles have appeared
in the Democratic Standard paper published in Concord
New Hampshire, under the auspices of Hon. Edmund
Burke in the former Of which he attempts to show why the
democracy were defeated in New Hampshire and in the
second of which be endeavors point the policy of the
incoming administration for which double service the
democrats Of his State and the President elect
doubtedly under great obligations
In accounting for the defeat of the party in New Hamp
shire finds all the for il in the by
President Pierce and his friends there. The primary
CAUSE the organization Of the cabinet which
have disgusted the true men of the NORTH meaning Mr..
Burke we presume and the proscrpon" which followed

This course of the President and his friends Mr. Burke
thinks SECURED thousands Of the best democrats in the
State and drove them into know-nothDgism He thinks,
moreover notwithstanding the fact that the democratic
vote was 5000 larger this year than 1t when Gen.
Pierce carried the State by large majority that many

Coming down to the presidential election he discovers

holds his position.
He is Of opinion that the approval of the of Pres

in the campaign to the detrment of the democratic
and above ALL and all he finds in the visit of the
President to his native State abundant for the defeat
Of the party.
1t is the President and his friends who have done all
and the thriy-hree thousand democrats of New Hamp-
shire informed that they would have been victorious
had they repudated their old leaders, their President all
their old associations and followed new guides and new

Now it has become matter Of history that the dernoc-
racy of New Hampshire planted itself firmly and fairly on
the Cincinnati platform, in opposition aboonsm and
knownothingsm long before that platform construct
ed When the Nebraska struggle was going on they ad-
vocated the equal and exact justice OF the principle
popular sovereignty in spite of all the
and allurements of the opponents of democracy They
stood boldly and manuly in opposition to theproscrp
ton which ruled in knownohing lodges against ptess
and overwhelming storm They adopted the sentiments OF
Gen. Pierce expressed while he with them and after

worthy of the most brilliant days in the history Of the
party They stood firm when the battle ragged hottest and
everything looked gloomy and the country has given
them verdict which places them in high position among
the friends of the constitution and the Union That defeat
should bel such party attributable not to the petty
personalities which fill the mind Of Mr. Burke but to the
fate which DEGREES that in tho hardest battles many
fall covered with those honors which are to be found only

Now while President Pierce and his friends have thus
been devoted to the of democracy while they have
been preparing the way for the significant election of Mr.
Buchanan while they have developed the constitutional
policy of the country, and have filed the Of democ

been laborng in and out of season. home and
abroad for the election of Mr. Buchanan whose nomina-
ton they received with the grace and propiety which
mark the heightened and generous patriot should like
to what course Mr. Burke has been pursuing. What
Is his record in this great crisis2 sii aipess

Concord Reporter written by Mr. Burke in which be speaks
thus Of the passage Of the Nebraska bill 4: 5latua M
