Now Hampshire,
Total

The annuel State election occurs il the
Granate State, next Tuesday. This an
Gent stronghold Of democracy has now
been carried by the Republicans and
genuine Unionists for ten consecutive
years, and the old pro-slavery leaders
defeats. But gathering little hope Of
making capital by flattering President
Johnson, their dropping spirits have re-
Gently exhibited more hopeful signs.
A recent canvass of the State by the
Union State committee shows the Union
party to be one thousand votes relative
ly better OFF than they were in the can
vass made last year.
The Unienists have popular candi-
date in Gov. Smyth who is in nomi-
nation for second time, and we think
there is hardly reasonable doubt Of
his reelection by at least 5000 major
ity.
Democratic Aeadership I'm Congress.
If the democracy in Congress is not
powerful in numbers, it is weighty in
one Of it's representatives, who by his
active prominence has been regarded as
one Of the leaders OF the "forlorn hope"
in the House of Representatives. We
refer to Mr.. Rogers, a democratic men,
Der from New Jersey. An amusing
passage occurred on Friday last, when
Mr.. Window Of Minnesota alluded to
Mr.. Rogers as "the recognized leader of
the democratic party in the House."
Several democrats sprung to their feet
to deny the statement, Mr. Window
said be would leave them to settle this
matter among themselves, as he believed
that in a few years they would be
ashamed Of belonging to the party at
all, to say nothing about having a lea
der. The following then occrred
"Mr. Niblack (Dem. I'VE feel on
this side that we do not want any lea
der. There are not enough of US to
make any trouble on that score. (Laugh-
teri mean no discourtsy to the gen
tleman from New Jersey still we do
not like to surrender ourselves to his
leadership. Some of us on this side do
feel very keenly, especially those who
have taste for talking good deal, to
hear so much said about the gentleman
from New Jersey being leader of the
party. 1t does provoke our jealousy.
(Laughter9 1t is very unpleasant to
us.
Mr.. Rogers (who was sitting On the
Republican side Of the House)-That is
the object of the whole thing. (Roars
of laughter.
Mr.. Windom-I sm glad the gen.
tleman from Indiana (Mr. Niblack) has
made the explanation. have convers-
ed with two or three on that side who
do not recognize the leadership. I am
satisfied from another reason. The gen.
tlemau says they do not need leader
as they carry on a guerrilla warfare.
That is why all on that side voted last
Congress against the bill to punish
guerrillas.
This shot into the Democratic ranks
fairly brought down the House.
Mr. Thayer asked the gentleman
from Indiana. Mr. Eiblack) to explain
what be meant by referring TO help
from other parties.
Mr.. Niblack-I mean detection in
your own ranks.
Mr.. Garfeld-Thea you would vote
for q bill encouraging desertlon, but
not to punish gserrillss. Uaughter)"
