No Democratic Senator.

| Senator Ola, K, of New Hampshire, lately wrote
the following. which receives very general airing
from the opposition press: 20.
"0ne week ago. saw the last Dem mo- sen
the Nation. His place was assumed by staunch
! Republican, and there is now from New England
no Democrat in the upper house OF Congress. :,
Exactly. And that is exactly the way, too, 1t
| was during the last war with England. There was
then from New England no Democrat in the upper
house Of Congress. The Democrats had to fight
| not only the enemy abroad, but the combined fed
eralism Of New England at home. Since she has
other Hartford Convention! That was what New
England got up before when she had mo Democrat
in the upper house of Congress- shall we again
hear OF the independent cOnfederacy east Of the
Hudson, and England called in to help her, now
that she is back Onie she was in the days of
Jefferson and Madison? Make way a second time
for the section which has mo Democrat in the up
per house of Congress. Detroit Free Press"
We copy the above from the Pioneer to give
the slanderers of New England the fullest
swing-pity it was not at the end of rope.
We can tell the Pioneer and the Democratic
Party, of another time when New England
was equally unanimous. This was about the
year 1875, when her people were unanimous
in favor of American Liberty: and fought for
it at Concord, Lexington, Bunker Hill, Ben
nington, Saratoga and Ticonderoga; driving
the British army from their soil never
to return except as the army Of Burgoyue
returned, in captivity and diSarmed At that
time, the Democratic South which, is now so
unanimous for Democracy and Slavery, con-
tanned as many tories as wings; and thous.
ands Of those same New England Republicans
followed the Yankee General GREENE into
the cypress swamps of the South to light on
behalf of the Common Country alike the for
eign foes and the domestic traitors. And in
the war of 1912 referred to, when the British
army under Sir GEORGE Provost attempted to
invade the soil Of Vermont, the Green Monn-
tain boys Of that stanch Republican State
swarmed to the rescue and calamity aided
IAcoMBE to the victory of Plattsburgh
while the Democratic South, even the Old
Dominion, suffered the National Capitol to be
burnt and dishonored by the invading foe.-
Would that disgrace have occurred in New
England? Never. And be it remembered
also, that in that same war it was Yankee
sailors who gave us our victories on the
ocean.
We pity the man who sneers at the patri-
otism of New England. The members of
a party whose leaders are daily talking
of sacrificing the Union, if the curse of
Slavery is not extended the piratical flag
of the African Slave Trade is not allowed
again to be hoisted, red with the blood and
spotted with the misery Of race of human
beings-such partizans display superlative i'm
pudence when they impugn the humanity,
the judgment, the honesty or the liberty loving
principles of UNANIMOUSLY Republican New
England!
We were not born upon her soil but in
our eyes her stars arc amongst the brightest
upon our national banner; her institutions,
her people, her statesmen, amongst the proud
est boasts Of our land
