which servile labor has inflicted upon the

DEuoCRAcY N TRouBLE.-While the Presi-
dent is besooching democrats with tears in
his eyes 10 support his administration by
voting Tor the LecomptOn swindle, his sub
alterns IN this state are in a world of trouble
to regulate the sixpenny postofices. In some
towns they find it 81 difficult to find demo-
crdt of the New HAMPSHIRE lr any other
stripe, that they are under the necessity of
removing the Dihces OF of importing post
master. In the town of Andoyer the present
postmaster has sold ont his store and assigned
his office. With the select men and town
clerk have recommended his successor in the
store, which is the only public place in An
dover, to succeed HIM in the posto1ice. But
some OF the administration democrats inter
Tered because the man that proposed was not
Lec)mptOnite. The truth is there was not
single Buchanan vote in Andover in 1856,
and the doctrines OF the democracy have not
made much hcadway since that time The
editor OF the Age not having a subscriber in
that town has undertaken to either convert
some Andover men to the democratic faith
or to import postmaster. We trust his
labors " will be abundantly blessed" The
