The New Hampshtre Eiestton-Psor
Pierce and enc Peace Dem~cracy.
Poor Pierce and the spurious pesce democya-
cy have been fairly skinned in the New Hamp-
shire election. As we have it, poor Pierce was
the recognized leader and expounder of his
miserable faction in this late contest, and with
the understanding that in securing aenocra-
tic Legislature, his reward would be e seat in
the United States Senate. Poor Pierce. as
democratic ex-President, was regarded by his
stupid followers as a very great man; but the
people OF his State have pronounced him an
imrostor. He retires from their freezing re-
buke under cloud of disgrace He has com
pleted the work OF demolish.ng the Northern
rump of the old, worn out and obsolete demo-
cratic party New Hampshire. notwithstanding
the numerous botches and blunders OF Preai-
deut Lincoln and the vast corruptions of his
administration, declares for vigorous prose-
cution Of the war, and will give no countenance.
to those Northern advocates of base submis-
sion to rebellion and disunion.
What the two Seymours, the two Woods aud;
the two Brookses have been to the Connecticut
and New York democracy; what Woodward, that
expounder of the constitution. according to jeff
Davis, was to his party last October in Penn
sylvania, and what Vallandigham. that unfor-
tunate burnt offering upon the democratic altar
Of peace at any price, was to his deluded
followers in Ohio, poor Pierce has become
among the copperhead small fry of New Hamp-
shire. He comes in very appropriately at the
tail end Of all these copperhead defeats. AS
President of the United States he was the obe-
dent tool and superserviceable turnkey of his
Secretary Of War, JEFF. Davis, and the band of
secession conspirators around him. Poor
Pierce! His jeff Davis correspondence, as
surfing the Southern revolutionary cabal that in
the event Of q war against secession the streets
OF our Northern cities would be Redeemed with
blood had much to do with this emphatic
popular verdict Of Tuesday last, by which
poor Pierce is admonished to. keep in the
shade.

lion by force of arms is positive, cousTstent
inaexible and overwhelming. The Presidential
election will be attended to in due season. The
work in hand is the extinguishment of JEFF
Davis and his wretched imposture of a South
esn confederacy. What, then, is the course to
be pursued by all honest Northera men here
tofore allied with the defunct. democratic par
ty? We can tell them. Tammany Hall, sbak
ing the dust and dirt from her garments, has
indicated their true course, in boldly
and bravely striking for the negotiation of
peace by our infantry. cavalry aud artillery,
army and navy, in the field of battle. Let the
patriotic remnants of the old Lachsoniaa North
ern democracy gather under this banner, aud
upon the platform Of an amendment OF the fede-
raj constitution completely and forever abolish
ing the institution of slavery, and they will
soon find the materials and the candidate for
the creation OF new compact aud powerful
Presidential party.
Tammauy Hall has made the initial move
ment in the right direction. There is time
enough yet to enlarge this movement into
great national organization for the Presidential
campaign. The old democratic party Is dead
and buried the republican party Of 1860 is
dead; Southern slavery is dead, and the politi-
cal power resulting from slavery is dead We
have passed, since 1860, through the changes
that mark mighty revolution. The people
recognize IL; but tho mass Of the people, for all
this do not believe in the infallibility Of Mr.
Lncolns administration. Let the opposition
clements shape their course accordingly aud
without further delay East and West, and they
may yet, from the ruins of the old parties OF
1860, build up the victorious party OF 1854.
