LAUGHTER KN NEW-UANEPsusRE.
The late Democratic State Convention in
Hampshire, considering the iearfully fu-
nereal business upon which it met was deci-
6edly in luck. Remembering that it is. so to
speak, deposed dynasty, we may cOngratu-
late the New-Hampshire Democracy upon tho
possession of o certain funny physician named
Bachelor, who introduced his method of cure
kind of Gigglepatby--tO the Convention, and
made Jokes for the members about the "inevi-
table niger" which were received, we are
told with rOars of merrment Taking into
account how small will be their tempta-
tons to laughter after the election, perhaps it
was merely prudent for the delegates to exer-
else their diaphragms before that event; for if
he laughs who wins, the victims of predestinato
defest must secure their quantum of the amuse-
ment. before their solemn fate is determined,
If thew would have it at all " Tomorrow we
may be dying" very justly thought these Dem

the pure Philosophical school of Democritus,
the drearer their destiny, the heartier their
outlaws became, under the persuading influences
of tie droll Doctor, who is we take 1t, Ike
one OF those old-iashioned ouacks who, in
other DAYS, were wont to dispense mercury
and merriment from q stage at country fairs
We rive the Doctor this publicity because we
cannot sufficiently admire his pluck, IN being
Jolly under circumstances which would have
daunted MARK Tapey himself We must add that
we give him credit, too for an exceeding in
eenuity for discovering new materials for
laughter in the niger; for we really thought
that Buckley and the rest of the lsrnp-black
boys had exhausted the fountain Of sable farce.

With the two dwarfs TO make Jokes and tie Doe
tor to laugh at them, we believe il would be
necessary soon TO enlarge the cash.box of tie
