All Hail New Hampshire 1.-The Gran
lte Column Still Erect.

which took place on the 9th inst. resulted
in the reelection of Governor William Halle
by much larger majority than he received
last year. The telegraph reports 5000 so
far as heard from, with handsome Repub-
lican majority in both branches of the Leg
islature This latter result is important, as
on this Legislature will devolye the duty of
electing United States Senator for six years
from the expiration of the present term of
John P. Hale.
This is the opening of the campaign for
1858, and the first State election that has
occurred since the Lecompton Swindle was
brought before the country. The result may
be regarded as faint indication of the peo-
pies verdict upon that scheme of villainy,
too open and undisguised to be calleda fraud.
We say it may be regarded as faint indica-
ton of the verdict, for be il known that in
order to turn aside, for time, the avalanche
of indignation which the Lecompton busi-
ness would be sure to arouse. the Democrat
ie State Central Committee early in the
campaign, repudiated and denounced the
whole concern. approving the stand OF
Douglas in opposition to it, but at the same
time apologising to Buchanan, giving him
credit for his good intentions, etc., compli-
menting his heart at the expense of his
brains. .'Good Lord-Good DeyiP' again.
But the result shows that even this would
not save them. The State is Republican all
over. Connecticut has been known from
time immemorial as the Gland of steady
habits" but so far as political affairs are
concerned, no State in the Union is better
entitled to the character than New Hamp-
shire. So long as Democracy meant any
thing but spoils. slavery propagandism, CEN
tralization and old fashioned federalism, New
Hampshire was Democratic from center to
circumference, and Democratic nomination
was about equivalent to an election. In fact,
for years after the last Vestiges of Democrat
ic principle had been blotted out, the strength
of party drill, the force of habit, and old
traditions kept the people 8 the ranks till
the passage of the Nebraska Bill aroused
them from their slumbers, to sleep no more
till the government shall be rescued COM
pletely from the control of the Black OH
garchy who now bring odium upon the very
name of Republican institutions.
At every election since March '55, the
Federal ofice-holders and aspirants have
rallied their deluded followers to the polls
under most positive assurances of success,
but at each succeeding effort only to meet
with more complete and notifying over
throw. The Republican phalanx compacted
and knit together by most thorough and
efficient organization under able and honest
leaders, and sustained by the best thought
of the Independent yeomanry of the State,
is invincible. The Republican party now
holds the same firm control of the public
mind and heart that the Democratic party
used to hold in the days of its power, while
the so-called Democracy" have sunk into
the same slough of despond in which the
''Whig" alias Federal party grovelled in ut
ter helplessness for so many years.
The change of positions is so complete
as to suggest the inquiry whether the old
doctrine of transmigration of souls may
not have found its true application in New
Hampshire politics. In fact, the transmit
grafton of the bodies of so many of the old
Whig and Federal leaders into the so-called
Democratic ranks, goes far to establish its
truth, if it be true indeed that such bodies
can be said to be inhabited by souls. Be
that as it may, the same indomitable spirit
which once animated the Democratic party
is now transfused into the minds and hearts
of the Republicans, and no State can be
more surely counted on as enlisted during
the war-none can show a truer and ADLER
Delegation in Congress than New Hamp-
shire, once called the South Carolina of the
North. 1t might be we'll for Republicans
elsewhere to initiate those of New Hamp-
shire in one point at least;-we mean in
thorough organization and careful attention
to the details at every election. We have
understood that during the Fremont cam
paign the canvass was so careful and exact
that weeks before the election the result was
known as to every county and township
with nearly as much certainty as after the
the election In word, the Granite State
Republicans, like Carnot, the French Minis
ter of War, may be said to have organized
victory" Let the true men in Kanzas be
prepared to do likewise.
How great the contrast between the pres
ent position of New Hampshire. with the
peerless Hale, and his no less able co-adiu-
