BURLINGTON:
FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 80 1850
THE REASON WHY.

The n. HampshireI Patriot accounts for th'
defeat of the party in New Hampshire a.
| follows
| Z" 1t cannot be denied that Iabored under great
disadvantage in the canvass, in regard to our na-
tional position, which prevented US from making
considerable accessions to our ranks. There is no
doubt that hundreds of men were deferred from,
joining from the fear that the Democratic party
is to be committed TO slave code and other bug
bears by which opposition papers and speaker,
have sought TO frighten honest men into the con-
tlnued support of corrupt, sectional and disoyal
party. We have doubt that If had been settled
that De TO stand upon the Cincinnati platform,
with an acceptable candidate in the coming Pres-
Dental election, we should have fully realized our
most sanguine expectations. The uncertainty IN
ttts respect, and the apprehension that extreme
men and ultra views are to prevail in our Con-
vention at Charleston, had a depressing and re-
pulsing influence in our canvass. II kept men
from US who are really to join Us ,ohsneuer If is
settled that not 10 be forced 10 support principles
in regard to slavery at with all that We have
fonght for during the last six years. Andw we are
satisfied that we make converts from the
enemy until we placed squarely and unmistak-
ably upon the principles upon which the last
Presidential contest was fought and won. But if
this is done at Charleston, and an acceptable can
ddste nominated we believe we shall give him
the electoral vote of New Hampshire"
IF the Patriot has to wait for Democratic
victory in New Hampshire till all the diff
culties it speaks of are surmounted, it
will wait a good while. Why, the
Democratic party IS committed to " slave
CODE" it is not to stand upon the Cincinnati
platform, dishonest and conflicting as it's
doctrines are
The Southern masters Of the party will
not allow it any longer to use the poor sham
Of the popular sovereignty" doctrine, by
means of which both Pierce and Buchanan
gained their election, and then-proved
more faithless to their previous unmistakable
declarations of principle than their worst
enemies predicted of them; they demand of
Northern Democrats an absolute reputation
Of that political humbug, they are to 60 for
the o5iter d4cta OF Judge fancy, and declare
that the Constitution, of its own force, car
ries slavery into all the Territories, and
maintains it there whether the people like it
or not they are 10 sav with Hammond,
Brown and Davis that slavery is righ in it
self whenever the subject Of it has black
blood in his veins, and that it is a most desi-
raJle thing for this country; and that all who
think otherwise are "abolitionists, ''sec-
tionalists" and TRAITORS, not to be allowed
to speak wherever slavery exists. This is
the position the Northern Democracy is re-
xuired to take, and actually is taking more
generally every day and therefore the cleo
torll vote Of New Hampshire for the
Charleston nominee will be what the mathe-
matIcians call an imaginary quantity.

4 SCENE AT TIE HARVARD LAW SCHOOL.
Yesterday morning, while Prof. Joel Parker
was addressing the students of the Cam
bridge Law School upon constitutional law,
he adverted, for the purpose of illustration,
to the mission of Mr. Hoar to South Car
olina Hereupon the Southern students
present felt impelled to indulge in applause
This being rightly construed by the Northern
boys as an expression of approval Of the con-
duct of the South Carolinians toward Mr..
Hoar. they responded with hlsses. Prof.
Parker exhibited much feeling at these
unusual demonstrations, and in expressing
his regret at the occurrence, took occasion to
remark that, for twelve years past, a similar
experience had not befallen him as a lecturer
After what had taken place, however, he
would improve this opportunity to say that,
although the police regulations Of South
Carolina might afford some extenuation for
the behavior toward Mr.. Hoar, yet the con-
duct Of her citizens on that occasion, more
than any other single act, had operated to
create the existing unpleasant differences
between the North and the South. Prof.
Parker also took occasion to assure the
students that he should not be deferred by
any expressions of disapproval on their part,
rom allowing himself all necessary latitude
of remark in the discussion of the import a
questions which it would be his duty. as
law lecturer. to take under consideration.
