1t is impossible to enjoy the bloom of health,
and vivacity of spirits, unless the Menses reg
ular as to the time. the quantity, and quality.
When they are INSTRUCTED, nature makes her ef-
forts to obtain for it some other outlet and unless
these efforts of nature are assisted, the patient
usually experiences Dependency. Nervousness,
and finally CONSUMPTION assumes its sway, and
prematurely terminates miserable life.

referred to BY Mr.. Wood in the letter publish

The Democratic mass meeting held 10 Ham
iltOn yesterday, was one Of the largest political
gatherings ever hsld in this State. The speak
ers were VaIandigham, Voorhees, PsndletoB and
others. V4Ilaudigham was severe on the admin
isuahon for she rejection Of o7erluras. on the
10Th of December, in New York, from Richmond
for peace, 6y sending representative ia Nay.
He also discussed Gen. Weights atsst order pro-
hibitiDg the sale and bearing of arms, ammuni
ton, etc., and claimed that AL Of that order was
contrary to The United States Constitution, which
says the right Of the people to bear arms shall
not be infnnged, and, under the State C0nstitu-
ton, the people hay a right to bear arms for the
defense of themselves, etc. These be styled
general orders one and two, and paramount to
any other issued By the shouidered strapped
gentry Of tho present day He urged 0bsdt-
enos 70 the Constitution aud laws, bUt mo6s
must be met by force and violence. Tho courts
must settle other questions Of wrong, and the

increase Of 1880. The Republican vote last
year was 30, $50. aud this year is 25.060, show
ing a decrease Of 3I78, aud this. too, notwith-
standing there has been an increase Of 2744
ia the whole vote Of The State, this year from
that Of last year. Bat siill more marked is
the change IN the strength Of the Democratic
and the Republican parties. as shown by
the results Of this election. Last year the ma
iority against the Democratic ticket was 1898
but now it is only go, showing 8 Democratic
net gain of 4,7i6. II tho same year the Re-
publican ticket had 1854 more votes than the
Democratic ticker; now it has 1916 less than
the Democratic ticket; aud the Republican
tickets then had a msj0rty Of ] $50 over Dem
osrais, third party and scattering, aud now il
appears in q hopeless minority Of 8,274
The success Of the Democratic party Ia this
election, even as judged by the election Of It's
candidates, are not unimpoTtant. We have
gained one member of Congress, two council
ors, nearly forty representatives, and two i'm
porsant counties OF Merrimsc and Grafton. thus
giving US one.half Of the counties in the State.
Bargains and iatrigues, corruption and fraud
alone have prevented further successes and q
complete victory They may, aud probably
viii, enable the Republican party to hold the
official control Of our State government another
year but they will only add to the eondemna-
ton which then inevitably awaits them.

The rev Hampshire HIection-statement
Of the Results.

From ihs Coneord O. HI Patriot, March Isl
Three Democratic senators are elected by an
aggregate majority Of about ? ,450, or ever 500
each and nine Republican senators by an az
gregate majority Of about 3,l00, or less than
$50 each. Aud thus, with q majority Of only
some GOO in the State, the Republicans and their
allies have elected hree-fouTths Of the senate.
This shows the gross injustice and Haequality Of
tho present senatorial district law. To carry s
majority Of the senate would require a Demo
cratic majority of at least 1000 in the State.
That viii doubtless be done next year, if our
State Institutions remain to us TIL that time.
In the house, the list foots up 14O Democrats
and I85 Republicans. Only three towns remain
TO be heard from-MsTlow, which has probably
elected a Republican, and Carroll, etc, AID
Pitssburg and Ciarksyille, which have probably
chosen two Democrats. If SO, the house will
stand l42 Democrats and 1876 Republicans; Re-
publican majority "A. Last year the Republi-
can majority in the house was 50; Democratic
gain So members.
Our returns of the votes for the msmbsrs Of
Congress are not complete in either district; but
they are sufficient to determine the results.
First Disirict-Daniel Marcy, Democrat, is
elected by from 20 to 100 msjority. The gov
ernor vote Of the district, except Hsrt's ioca-
ton, gives 80 Democratic majority. In all but
fftsen towns Mr. Marcy gains ST on lhat vote.
There is no doubt Of bis election.
Second DisHict-E II. Rollins, Republican,
is elected 10 this district By about $50. The
governor vote is 35S against the Democracy
but the towns from which we have returns for
member Of Congress give Col. George . relative
gain Of about 100.
Third Dishict-Iames " Patterson, Repub
Iican, is elected in this district by about $50 ma.
jority. The majority against the Democrats on
the governor ia this district is 3l7 but Mr..
We do not think hs IS beaten by much over $50
votes.
The Democratic vote ia the State last year
was 1856, and this year is 32,796, showing an
