Some years back, we heard, in

Richmond, Indiana. We came five
thousand miles to the young city.
We saw it; We have seen it fifty

Some Of its inhabitants have now
-tlisgraced human nature, violated
the laws of heaven, trampled under

placed themselves OH the page OF

Belial.
On Sunday night, the 18th inst,

NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION.

The returns, embracing about four-ffths
of the State, from the election in New Hamp-
shire indicate large gains for the Democracy.
A heavy vote was pollod, probably exceed
ing 65 200, against 62,500 last year. The
Democratic vote will be about $4,000, while
it was but about 2S,5OO last year. The Re.
publican vote will be only 27,OOO or %, 600
while it was $3.50 last year; and the third
party vote is some 5000. The majority
against the Democracy last year was about
$500, which they have now very nearly
wiped out.
Upon this result, the AlLGny IN, w Ar

she did so, and frightened herself
almost to death. This is just what
