New Hampsh;re.

The Democrats made noble stand at the re-
cent elections in this Stste. Eastman, Peace
Democrat for Governor, has majority of near
~ 5000 votes over Gilmore, Republican. Har-
riman, War Democrat, received about $500
.sptes, and as it requires majority of the whole
vote to elect, there seems to be no election by
the people There is still, however, some hope
that Eastman may have majority over both
his opponents. One of the three Congressman
tand perhaps two) was elected by the Demo-
Gratis. This is glorious, as the Abolitionists
elected every Congressman in New Hampshire
for the last eleven years.
