Neso Hampshire Election On Ncsday-7Ae SeNatorship-
Nominees, de-
The annual election in this Sate will take place on
Tuesday, March 9. II combines the twosold charac-
ter OF = State election and . national election in
asnuch the Legislature that be chosen win have
to elect member Of the United States Senate Mr. John
p Hales term coming 10 end just year from this
time when he will have been q Senator Of ten years
standing and experiencesix years Of the full term for
which he chosen lS47 and four years of Mr. Ather
toms term, which he elected to serve in 1885,
and as il Is the admirable custom Of New Hampshire
retire members Of Congress just they become OF
little or no value his prospect Of staying home after the
expiration Of the present Congress unoommonly good
II In an exquisite custom, and must not be inno-
waited upon Such, am sure, Is the opinion of MIR. Ed
wards and Mr. Tuck who expect to succeed Mr. Hale but
it Is possible that Mr.. Hale himself enterans views the
subject that do exactly harmonic with those of his
would be successors.
Mr. Tuck you know. He was member of the House OF
Representatives years SINCE and was respectable
IN that position, very much when the rather weak
character of our delegations for some time back is con-
sdered. He sincere anti slavery man, and goes the
whole hog support OF his views, to which particular
objection be made in free country, where every
has right TO De as wise Solomon, he can and foolish
David he please but then he thinks he ought to be
rewarded for his opinions and his services about which
there is likely 10 be difference Of sentiment If he
shall persist having his reward in the shape Of Sena.
torshp. is extremely odd how high price these pasri
otc republicans set themselves and how they
all in pursuit OF Office The greedest and most ego
tstcal Of democrats q moderate in comparison with
republican who passes for being both moderate and
modest in his party. What property these repub-
lr.po ha ~ hoh ll,o
valuation OF them and sold At their But that would
be to deal in "nggers of which republican could be
gulty-unless he should be able to make fortune by it,
Mr. Edwards is OF less account than Mr. Tuck, the
latter is OF political consequence, while the
former is nobody, has done nothing and viii be sent
where The whole argument in his favor is this
he wants the Office OF Senator Yet this gentle
mans claims in a fair way TO his party
serious trouble. Not only does he 60 against Mr.. Hale
but also against Mr. Tuck. II is kind of triangular affair,
in which the gentleman who stands at the
get shot from both Of his antagonists The object IN
view is TO get one Of the two positions and TO shoot
the sing opponent before he get of his pistol
How this affair will end, IT is hard to say see by the
papers abroad that the impression prevais being taken
for granted that the republicans are certain 10 the
State-tha Mr. Hae's return 20 the Senate Is thing of
course and that there nothing be done the for
malty Of electng him. Fudge There of course in
The business, there can't be- Mr. Hale wno knows the
ground well lrshrran ever knew Doanybrook, Is
well aware that there two fights before him. unless his
party should be whipped in the drsthe fight Of Tuesday
next and that which will be had in June Do you think
Mr. Hale would be here he knew that all would be
plain sailing for his party and HIMSELF Is not the Lecomp
ton constitution before the Senator Is he of
the readest Of the glsdiators the Senatorial arena
Why does he leave Mr. Douglas, and General Wilson, and
all the Of the opposition Senator's to fight against the
administration he is sure Of success II is because he
knows too well what may happen that he has left Wash
ingon and come here, where he may be OF some 70
himself and his friends Kansas must take of itself,
and he will take care Of himself.
The election is for Governor, Railroad Commissioner,
State Councillors Senators, Representatives and county
oficers-rreasurer, Register and Commissioner Asa
Governor and Frederick vose Of WalpoIe for Railroad
Commissioner. Mr.. Cate has been called a Douglas
democrat, as such thing there could be in rerIn
chanan's administration has have. do not know
whether Mr. Cate is Dougaste not, but he cannot
supporter Of President Buchanan If he is and as he is
not 10 be tina; the breach between
Mr. Douglas and his old party is complete, he must,
whould SEEM have made up his mind which way go,
a Douglas democrat two or three months ago, think is
very likely but things have changed since Mr. Douglas
traton. Mr.. Gates position is no, essentially
different from that which was held by DR.
Kittredge and Mr.. Morrison In 1854. These gentlemen
voted against the Nebraska bill, and therefore op
posed 10 Perces policy but they did that account
a, .he nmoss With Mr. Cate wSo nav nsVe regretted
that Mr. Buchanan resolved supporting the Lecomp
ton constitution but who does not therefore leave the de-
mocracy There Is evidence that he ever supposed
possible that he could change his political position.
The republicans support Gov. Halle for reelection. The
democrats seek IN make the decision turn upon local mat
ters and II they could succeed that they might do
something, for they at home in such things but it Is
OF 60" The public mind is full Of the slavery
matter, and little else is heard but +" Kansas " "Ne-
brsska," "Leoompton," douglas" walker" and
similar things, which have little intrinsic interest for
citizens The Senatorial election makes the national fea
prominent and but for that the democracy would do
better than, think, they now can expect
Mr. Her bert who has left the democrats Is real loss
10 them So IL Mr.. G. williams, who IL Of Gov.
Williams. Pr contra, John Atwood will support the
democrats There q good deal OF feeling in the state,
and personalities Of the btterest kind banded about
with much guso But when were they aosent from our
politcsf
