Election IN New ampshire-Republicans Tri
umphant by Increased Majoritles.

Election IN New neutrality-suspicious. Tri.
umphant by Increased MaJorities.
On Tuesday of last week the State election
came off in New Hampshire. The Repub-
licans have elected their Governor by
4,599 majority--they have of the 5 Ceun-
cillors, 10 of the IL Senators, and IS msjori-
ty of the Representatives.
Auspicious is this result, showing as it does
the unfalteriDg determination. the resolute
Spirit. the patriotic ardor, and the efficient or
ganizatIon of the Republican party. Every
indication gives evidence, that what the Re
publican party is in New Hampshire it is in
all the States that truly and practically recog
nize the inalienable rights of man.
The New York Tribune says:
New Hampshire has thus opened the ball
of 1860 in manner which leaves nothing TO
be desired Taken in connection with the
equally auspicious results of the Town and
Charter Elections in our State, and of the
Charter Elections in Pittsburg, Chicago and
other cities. this victory proves the spirit ol
| Republcanism nndaunted, sangnine. and eager
for the decisive struggle of Novemner.
The result of the late elections has thrown
the Democratic camp into great confusion
A dispatch from Washington says that the
unexpectedly large majority in New .Hamp-
shire has greatly elated the Republicans, but
sends shiver through the heart of the De-
mocracy.
The greatest interest is now felt in the
Connecticut and Rhode Island elections Ii
the former the election takes place on the first
Monday in April; in the latter on the frs
"Wednesday of the same month.
