State election, sweeping revolution "as enecIeu'
The State was carried against the hrst president
she had ever given to the Union as By an ayaarcne
Governor, al three Members Of Congress- DOM
branches Of the Legislature, drawing after IL Two
United States Senators-so that New Hampshire
in the first year after her "fsvorite son hsd
developed his policy, placed herself unit IN Con
gress against him. az she had previously been IN his
favor by some Eight thousand majority.
OF course. many who had been thrown into this
movement BY the unmistakable portents oil Hs
destined success, fell away when that success had
been achieved and its fruits realized, leaving their
personal aspirations ungratifed. The Opposition
msiorty was reduced to some two thousand az the
next State election. but it rose again to Five
thousand in the Presidential contest of the ensI-
inp Fall. from which it fell to Little more than
three thousand the ensuing (last) Spring. But all
three Districts returned their faithful snd eficent
Republican Members Of Congress, while the Re
publican ascendency in every department of the
Government wss maintained.
The languor and apathy dfused through the
Republican ranks last year by the fair professions
and explicit pledges Of Buchanan's Inaugural and
Walker and StantOn's corresponding Instructions
and declarations with the consequent prominence
accorded to local and personal Considerations, re-
sulting in the loss OF the Republican sscendency in
several States, induced in the New-Hampshire
Democracy strong and natural hopes Of recovering
at the ensuing election their keeny regretted doml-
nation. Accordingly, they early commenced an
energetic and systematic canvass, and fancied them
selves on the high road to success when the deser-
ton of Walker by Buchanan, his removal OF Stan
ton and his open and active adhesion to the Lee
compton fraud das he'd the cup Of hope from their
parched and eager lips. Their State Committee
was hastily assembled, and resolves indorsing the
position of Senator Douglas, and Of course repuda
ting those of the President, were adopted with en-
| tire unanimity. The effect of this maneuver will
probably b. to break but not avert their fall. The
| People of New-lIsmpshire are intensely hos
| tile to the LecOmpton Swindle, and will
vote so that there can be no plausible doubt
of thst fact They will act on the spirit of the ad'
vice given by retiring Member of Congress OF ripe
experience to his young SUCCESSOR" Ai,cays rote
so that your rote 'front.' need erpi0nation.' II may
be good explanation of vote for the Democratic
ticket that said ticket stands on the platform Of
Douglas, not that of Buchanan and that vote for
il ought to count agsnst LecomptOn; but vote for
the Republican ticket lciH count that way, beyond
the possibility of mistake or perversiOn. No
sophistry, no Misrepresentation can make that VOTE
an apology for or encouragement Of the crime
against Freedom in Kansas now seeking its con-
summation at Washington.
The election takes place on the second Tuesday
in March-hardly ten days hence. We know that
the adversary is active and adroit, and that his
efforts are not fruitlessy devoted to the manuac-
turing and msgnfyng of local. trivial and irrelevant
issues, but We have nevertheless strong confidence
that the Republicans will triumph.
