Political Change. In New Hampshire.

Charles Libby, Esq. the leading man on
the Republican State Comnlitte, has pub
licly withdrawn from the party, and de-
clares his intention to support the Demo-
cratic nominee. At the conclusion of a
somewhat lengthy letter giving reasons for
his course, he says /" I feel that the coun-
try demands and must have change Of
rulers, and feeling SO, cannot longer act
with the Republican party, but shall give
my vote and influence in favor of the Dem
ocratic party" At late Democratic
meeting in Littlcton, New Hampshire,
which is described as @ the largest and
most enthusiastic meeting that has ever
been held in the upper part of that State, I"
the President, twenty three vice. -Presi-
dents, and three Secretaries, SO it is de-
clared, were ''all late of the Republican
party" The Concord Patriot says One
Of the Vice Presidents was member
of the Republican State Central Committee
for the past and present year; another was
apparently one of the most Jealous at their
last State Convention" This wholesale
desertion of the Republican party has
naturally enough sent terror in to their
midst. New Hampshire will be the. first
of the State elections in 1868. 1t will be
the first loud gun of the Democracy, BOOM
ing over the country tho approaching
sweeping victory of the Presidential cam
paign.
The Cleveland Herald says "i it is nt
longer matter of doubt that Hon. j. r.
Hubbell, of Delaware county, Ohio, for
merly Speaker of the House in that State
and subsequently Republican member o
Congress from the Eighth district, hai
come out openly in opposition tothe Radi
cal Congressional policy. 0 l

Read the able letter Of Senator Doolittle,
of Wisconsin, on the 4th page of this issue.
Senator Doolittle is not a Democrat, but a
Republican; and his sentiments will doubt
less havemore weight with. Republicans,
on that account. He lifts up his eloquent
voice, and wields his facile pen, in earnest
protest against the usurpations Of that
revolutionary cabal which calls itself the
Congress of the United States; and which
is trampling the Constitution beneath its
unhallowed feet, and profaning the Temple
of American Liberty. 1t has erected a
military dcspotism in the, South, more gal
ling and hateful than that exercised over
Poland, by Russia, or over her penal col
ony of Siberia. Not satisfied with this, it
is stripping the Executive of, the powers,
privileges and iinmunities, conferred by
the Constitution, and destroying the Judi
ciary, as established by the fathers of the
Republic; bringing both the Executive
and Judicial branches of the Government,
into subserviency to the Legislative; and
erecting, oyer all, in the person of Gen.
Grant, military dictator, with unlimited
and irresponsible powcr!!!
sfCan such things be,
| Aud overcome US like summer cloud,
| Without our special wonder?''
Will the people fold their arms and look
quietly on, while their liberties are thus
being wrested from them? viii they sub
init to have the checks and balances of the
Constitution destroyed, by this reckless
revolutionary junto, calling itself Con-
gress, IN Washington In the eloquent
language of Senator Doolittle, ~" Consti-
tutional Liberty is already bound, scourgcd
and crowned with thorns, in her own
sacred temple! Shall the General of the
Army, urged on by the Radical Chic
Priests, cruelty her, on Capitol Hill, il
her own home, under her own banner
amid the SCOTS and jeers of the despots O

Important question involved is whether tn,

To THE CITIZENS OF MIDDLETowN AND
VIoINITY.-The growing interest and in
creasing population of our village makes
painfully sensible the great need Of a
Building of sufficient capacity to accom-
modate the various Meetings, Conventions,
Lectures, Concerts, Festivals, Exhibitions
&c. that are now driven from the village,
by reason Of there being no place to ac-
commodate them. ~
The Commissioners have obtained an
act of Incorporation from the State of Della
ware. Have succeeded in securing most
eligible lot of ground SO feet front upon
Main street and propose to erect thereon q
handsome building of three (3) stories
The first floor to be divided into four (4)
Store rooms, with suitable cellars. The
second floor to be used as Public Hal

somely and to be used for all public purposes
The third story will be used as Library
and Lodge rooms. Plans and specifca.
tions are now in the hands of Commiss.
ioners. -s
20 obtain the much desired object We
are authorized to solicit subscriptions to the
Capital Stock at $40 per share, payable
in instalments as may from time to time
be necessary for the progress of its erection
We have found many of our citizens
enter with commendable spirit into the en-.
terprise, fully satisfied that the stock car
and will be made to pays per cent, anc
every year will increse its value. Appli-
cations are daily being received for the
first floors, and the prospect of the Library
will be enthusiastically welcomed by ole
and young. As an investment alone it az
desirable as any other Stock offered, anG
apart from the dividends the increased
value of every kind of property in tho
village and vicinity, by the erection of thu
building cannot be overestimated. So tina
in reality the advantages to be derived b,
such an improvement must be acknowl
edged, and the enterprise commend itsel
to every man of business perceptions.
With these known facts before US, n
one can certainly refuse to subscribe q
least one share, and we now appeal to tn
men of ability, enterprise and commenda
BILE town pride, to come forward and com
plete the subscription to the Stock, nearl
one half of which is now taken, and it viii
