NeaC Hampshire Politics.

The New Hampshire state democratic
convention was held at Concord Wednes-
day. Edmund Burke of Newport was
chosen president and two vice presidents
from each county completed the organiza-
ton. John G. Sinclair of Bethlehem was
renominated for governor by reclamation.
George II. Pierce of Dover was renomin-
ated for railroad commissioner. EXPIRES
Ident Pierce was unable to attend the con-
yention IN person, but the leaders and
chief fuglemen were in close consultation
with him at his residence. The resolu-
tions adopted approve the holding Il nation
al Union convention at New York, and
declare that the right of extending suffrage
TO the negro or anybody else belongs ex-
clusiveIy to the states, all of which have
the right Of representation in Congress.
Onslow S;earns, who was prominent as
a candidate for governor in the Republi-
can convention, and who was pressed by
the railroad interests for that office, was
present, and disgraced himself by making
a speech to the copperhead concIave Re-

gentlemen are introducing this new burning
fluid into our country, and we can say after
giving it a thorough trial that it possesses all
the superior advantages oves every other
kind, that are claimed for it.
1t is no humbug and we are satisfied that
when our citizens have tested its worth, it
will supersede the use of all other burning
oils. Mr., Lathim is expecting a quantity Of
the Aurora Oil In a few days.
