The New Hampshire Election.

Last year the combined votes Of the
two Democratic candidates for Govern
or of New Hampshire, exceeded that for
the Union candidate by over 5000;
while at the recent election, Gilmore,
the Union nominee, was triumphant by
over 5000 majority This fact, taken
in connection with another that within
the last year from 1000 to 5000 Union
voters hare gone to the field, is signifi-
cant Last year many of the Demo
cratic votes were obtained under false
pretenses-pretenses that the party
favored a war on constitutional princi-
pies. But to-day, the mask is off, and
exhibits apprehension in all its hide
Gus deformity The candidate of the
party was an original traitor, and de
clared, after the first battle of Bull Run,
that he hoped every Union soldier
crossing the Potomac, might only re-
turn in his coffin; while one ofhis safe
lites-Mr Murphy, prominent poll
tician, in a speech in his favor, on the
22d of January, at the town of Newing-
ton, said
"The Democrats have submitted TO the deS-
potic sloay OF Abe Lincoln for three gears,
thinking il better to endure wrong for a
short time than TO risk all b. last appeal to
arms. But nOlC the time is coming when
we can change our rulers. Rather hdE sub
lait four years longer to Abe Lincoln, and be
opeYrun 5V the HoRDEs OF HIS HIRELISO SOL
DIERs, let US ring out the cry Of old, TO
YOUR TENTS, O, ISRAELI DEMOCRATS SHOULD
ARM AND ORGANIZE INTO DRILL CLUB COMPA-
NIEs, BATTALIONs, REGIMENTS AND BRIGADEs
for these blood thirsty A5ohti0hiSts and dod-
dyitc there's and traitors are q 1Cind- broken,
sDaCin, dyspeptic race, and one regiment Of
Democrats could 1Chip three Of them. Our
armies have accomplished nothing; the
Army of the Potomac is a grand picnic ex-
cursion, eating up the substance Of the ma
ton, and coming home to Uotc do1cn the hbcr-
ties Of the people, and render oar elections q
farce and mOJcery to the lcOrld."
1t was also understood, that if the
Legislature contained a cOpperhead
majority, poor Pierce would be made
United States Senator-pOor Pierce,
who assured JEFF Davis in a private
letter, that if the South revolted, the
streets Of Northern cities would run
with blood before the power of the
government should be brought to bear
against the insurgents-which was an
additional weight on the camels-ex-
cuse us--asses' back; and it is not sur
prising that it broke
Yet the copperheads did hore to car
~ the State; of this we have abundant
evidence; all the papers of the party
predicted a victory, Notwithstanding
they now say they had no expectations
of one The following is a sample on
this point
From the World, March 3, 1854
We are in great hopes Of hearing good
news from New Hampshire next Tuesday
evening. Our private adviees from that
quarter are encouraging. II the
Chase and Fremont men have any nerve,
they can kill Lincoln rs q candidate by al
lowing New Hampshire 10 pronounce en-
phatically against him.
From the World, March g, 1854.
New Hampshire has apparently voted as
wrong this year as il had been IN the habit
ef doing for many years past He dia not
crDccs any different resah, and warned our
conservative friends not 10 anticipate
victory.
AS New Hampshire has gone, so viii
90 all the loyal States. Let the army rest
assured that their patriotism IS not I'M
appreciated but the people viii sustain
it everywhere.
