Ex.President Pierce om tho Sitnniion-The
Democrats Feel Encouraged.
lFrom the Evening Telegram. Feb. 25
CONCORD, Feb. 25, 1858.
Ex-Presdent Pierce, who IS mani fesling dsop
interest in the progress of political affairs Washing
ton expresses his opinion that the party
In Now Hampshire Is greatly strengthened by the turn
matters have taken there lately. Upon reading the
Presidents message this forenoon he stated that his
reasons forcby and concsivey expressed and that
they founded constitutional grounds and sup
ported by tho laws which the president quotes 10
sustain his position. He agrees with Mr. Johnson that
he Is justified upon tho constitutional question OF his
hay ing power officers appointed by his ppe
dccessor, and thinks tho fact that his entire Cabinet
have once designated the Tenure OF once law uncon.
shntonal will operate greatly favor OF Mr Johnson
upon his trial. Concornn, the political aspect he says,
from which he receipt of from erens parts
of the state well as from conclusions derived from
the records OF the democratic committee, he
s justified saying that the prospects glorious
and promising than during any other period OF the
present campaign
Tho arrival Of the newspapers here containing the
details OF the pending political crisis at tho national
momentarly overlooked
| Specuations concerning tho termination OF the
differences between the President and the refractory
Stanton numerous, and the result will undoubtedly
| have no little influence upon the election here in
March, but thus far there have been CLAIMS Of
strength in consequences Of the imbrogo made by the
speakers At the public meetings OF either party.
In private conversation, however, the politicians
Of both sides claim that the dnouenent
NH h.rb .,Ion
the passage Of the impeachment resolution In the
House. and that nothing remains but for ihe
Senate do It's duty by speedily trying couvlcng and
ousting the Commander ID. Chief Of the Army and
Navy and installing Ben Wade In his place. II this 10
done before tho election they claim that nasmuch as
the whole government will b. in radical hands, the pros
psct OF cleaning out Of johnson oceholders in the
State will be certain that many who In the
interest OF Sinclair will attempt TO save their Official
heads by coming ous openly In favor Of Hartman.
On the other band, the conservatives claim that
| President Johnson has not committed al mpsaohabe
offence and that notwithstanding tho verdict OF the
House to the contrary he will, when tho matter
be-. tho proper tribunal make successful defence
and such will strengthen the democratic party
in all sections OF the country, and weaken destroy
altogether tbs power Of the radical Congress
They further alege II the trial pushed any
early termination, that the triumph OF tho President
democrats in their present contest in this State.
The discussion between the radicals and the
tves upon tho progress Of AFFAIRS at tho capital
numerous and animated and many OF tho latter declare
that IL tas conflict Of arms they VIII rush al
to the support OF the President whom they believe to
bo tho only Commander-in Chief Of the army. The
people anxious for the latest intelligence, and largo
crowds gather the railway stations all the state
TO await the arrival Of the newspapers from tho cities.
