to the United States Senate from New
Hampshire. This will he his third
term in the Senate. If the Republi-
cans of New Hampshire are satisfied
with Mr.. Hale it is not for Republi-
cans out of the State to complain,
though there are many who would pre-
fer to see Senator in the place of Mr..
Hale who is less cratic and more re-
liable. 1t is true that upon the great
question Of hostility to the extension
of slavery he has been true to his
principles, and we honor him for it,
but upon other important questions he
is governed too much by impulse, and
is inspired by no broad and statesman
like views of the cxigencies of the
country or even of the interests OF his
party.
Allusion has been made by telc-

shire Statesman upon the manage
ment of the Republican party in that
State. There is too much truth in the
following remarks which we extract
from this article
There was then and there is now a pur-
pose to decry such men as James Bell, lchabod
Goodwin, Levi Chamberlain, Henry A. Bel

George Washington Ncsmith, Anthony Colby

tenaciously adhered to. 1t is true, this Free
Soil faction graciously consent that all the old
Wing party--some 20, 600 men-may make a
subsidiary element in the Republican phalanx.
The men of means are permitted to pay lib
orally for election purposes, to labor on the
stump and at the polls to be in fact hewers
of wood and drawers of water. They can in
deed occupy positions in the Legislature, and
be promised governOrships and senatorial hon
ors-promises already most shamelessly viola
ted, and, in the case of Ichabod Goodwin, at
tended by circumstances Of the most aggrava

Soil organization, is sufficient to give then

We do not anticipate that the bitter
ness of feeling which has been cngen
dered by the unfair treatment of tn
old Wing lcaders-men who are sec
ond in ability to no politicians in tn
State-will result in split in the par
ty. But the Republican leaders will
do well to watch carefully the sign
of the times, and not push their injus
tice too far, lest in the not distant fu
ture they again find themselves, by al
unexpected turn of the political wheel
out of power and in o hopeless minori
ty.-Bostom Journal.
What is true of the Republican par
ty in New Hampshire is true of i
every where. Its master spirits arr
the old Free Sellers, whose motto has
ever been" Rule or Ruin" Let thu
party of the nation once get into power
as it surely will, and there will be the
grandest "bcar fight" this country
ever witnessed.
