nearly thirty years prior 1854 tho democratic party
was largely In the ascendant IN the State Of New Hamp

the popular VOTE and from that time 70 the present they
have mot been able to retrieve their fallen fortunes At
present they dsmoraized and dshearlencd without
courage spirit enthusiasm, and almost without hope
10 NOT familiar with the political history Of the
State this singular and important change in public opinion
may somewhat mysterious but to those who have
closely watched the Vaccinations observed the
nGuvres Of the leaders Of the democratic party New
HappshIe for the past twenty five years. the OF the
change apparent and the revolution itself no mystery
For the last quarter Of century the political Affairs Of
the democratic party and tho State have been managed
by secret oabsa sort OF star chamber, having their
headquarters Concord where they only gave drec
ton 10 the party but fixed the status Of each and every
aspirant, and woe be 10 the unfortunate wight who
had the temerity TO rebel against the supreme
dictatoa Of this SELF sufficient and sefconstituted
junta. At the head OF this star chamber was
Franklin Pierce, and to It's secret and inquisitoral
deliberations IL he Indebted for the political distinction
which he hss attained. Whenever tho Concord clique
pulled the string the democracy OF New Hampshire
danced and any refused TO dance failed TO keep step

New Hampshire when Franklin Pierce elected Presi-

the newly elected chief magistrate Of the nation sought

own influence, by systematic prescription OF every
democrat in the State whose influence seemed likely TO

Of which the democracy have been gathering the past
six years To Franklin Pierce, therefore, more than TO
any other man, is the present demoralized condition

which he was the master spirit, hnoing that the
democracy were disposed TO resist the dictaton OF
the chamber up for themselves resolved to

sought to weaken and destroy in order 70 eHectualy

powerful, and hr eaenpg the overthrow their

New Hampshire democracy.
Poor Pierce, ambitious another tilt in the Presidential

the abolionists until the democratic like the old whig
party, shall have been completely swallowed up in tho
black maelstrom OF Know Nothing republican abol-

The democratic party in the New England staes and e.

reorganized and put upon bass before ever can

This miserable shutting for the spoib must be aban-

This stopping and trucking to catch the popular breeze
