ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OF NEw-HAMPsHIRE.
PooiysvIIIK Md, Feb. u, 1859 !
Recognizing the importance of u healthy public
sentiment the successful operation OF republican
institutions We officers Of tho l4th Regiment n. ii.
Volunteers, deem It duty rs we'll as privilege
when our friends and neighbors Of the Granite State
are on the Of important election, 10 do what
we can by words Of warning and entrea,y to create
and strengthen that public sentiment which the
exigencies Of the times demand.
Our most cherished institutions are mperiled and
our national existence threatened by the evil
treason.
Al such a time tho demand is imperative upon
every good aud loyal citizen whether at home or in
the field TO use bis utmost sndeavOr TO uphold the
dignity and Preserve the integrity Of the country
and once more 10 reaseert tho National authority
throughout he length and breadth 0f the land.

that we behold the exhibition Of y bitter partisan

To- discourage the heart and paryze the arm Of the
nnu M in in Al nutlrlnQ
crush most uDboy rebellion.
The terrible realities OF The hour demand unanim-
y OF sentiment aud Of effort and whatsoever tends
TO divide opinion diminish zeal. must dlshearten
our armies and encourage our foes. There 10 sol

encirce Charleston hsrbor after the receipt OF news
of the Fall elections in the Northern and Western
States.
To Rebel authorities those elections Indicated re-
vulson Of public feeling in the North.
They reasoned, and justly, too, that division In
tho coupses Of their enemy would prove their
strongest ally On this, more than on victories IN
the field, have the Rebel leaders rolled from the
commencement Of the war. IL was logical, then,
that opposition to tho Administration Oh account VI
its method Of dealing with defiant treason, should
thrill the heart Of Rebellion with JOY, and nerve
them to more desperate Resistance, and
whatsoever Of encouragement exists in our ar
mies to-day is the result not much OF unsuccessful

are as ready to-day as ever 10 encounter the foe-as
of tho coldners and open hostility TO our cause on
the part of Northsrn sympatbzsrs with Secession:
BasiDg their action upon the pretended violation
Of the Constitution aud the assumption Of unwarrant-
able power by tho President, they are no really enc
mics OF the country as are the armed Rebels whose
hands are dripping with tho blood Of our slaugh cred
brothers.
To save our country there Ia need that every
power in the whole range OF moral and physical IN
iuences 10 laid under contribution and made to work
for common end.

devastating flood, censorships and dungeons, must
all be used II need be- to defeat the designs OF an
