We continue our extracts from our exchang
es on the Senatorial contest. They all tel
one story. II the Advertiser thinks they arr
garbed we shall be glad to furnish it with tn
entire articles from which we quote. The Re
publican Statesman, published at Concord, N
H., says: --f 2I.
1t is understood since that the friends o
Mr.. Morrill, regard Mr.. Hamlin as fairly nom
mated, and will, according to party usage
cordially sustain him. As Mr.. Hamlin wa'
dropped in the Baltimore Convention of 1864
to the profound regret Of multitudes of Repub
licans throughout the Union, his return to III,
Senate WiH be cause Of mach sdtisfdction. - i

The great struggle between Morrill, and
Hamin for the United States Senatorship has
at last reached crisis that foreshadows the re-
suit Mr.. Hamlin's forces have been strength
ened to-day by such acquisitions that his cleo
ton is rendered secure beyond doubt by
those best qualified to Judge. Mr.. Morrill, j:
reported to be on his way here. His support
ers have sgnally failed in their coquettine
with the Democrats, who will act as unit fol-
their candidate. Senator Fessenden and his
friends have stamped out the movement pro
posed by Mr.. Morrills supporters to bring for
ward third candidate. a2H 4 40
The Boston Transcript, speaking of the
threats of the Morrill, men to seek Democrat
ic alliance, says: "ThiS aeould be a verg dan
gerous experiment. for the friends Of Mr. Morra
to try,tor instance, and, ,otile greatly iJarns
him, aoould not adUanoe their prospects Nth thu
'leo administration. Let the Republicans Of

settle their internal difficulties among them
selves, as they have done heretofore, and leave
the Democrats the felicity of always being
about to accomplish something, but UNIVERSAL
ly failing except to impart variety and ANNA
tion where there was danger of dizziness and
want of interest from the feebleness of the OPP
position. tf . -,---T1 CEsW eai37ri- 1ag
The Portsmouth N. H., Journal is of the
same opinion as its contemporaries: au35L-
Hon. Lot. M. Morrill, has served two terms
in the Senate, and needs no better endorse
ments of the acceptability of his services than
the fact that he run so close in Ia contest with
Hon. Hannibal Hamlin whom the Republicans
of the nation Join in calling from retirement.-
Fessenden, though an older, il not an ADLER
Senator, could not have contested the field SO
well. J." rfah % a9iin ta- s.i
The Calais Advertiser, paper that favored
the nomination of Mr.. Morrill,, truly and ear
nestly says: '-'1 '''i
BY the statutes of Maine, blank vote is no
vote at ALL and the usage Of parties makes the
rule imperatively binding on political organi-
cations. This rule would clearly give Mr..
Hamlin majority of one, and make him the
nominee of the party. 3' -f JAZZ %
A MORRILL, PAPER ON THE SENATORIAL
CoNTEsT.-We were mistaken in saying that
only one Republican paper outside of Maine
supports the claims OF Senator Morrill,. We
have since observed that the Springfield Re-
publican, the ardent friend and apologist of
the "seven Senators" paper whose editor in
the old anti-slavery warfare was the Saul of
Tarsus who took the lead in crusades against
the Abolitionists,-a paper the conservative
tone of which is so pronounced that a wag has
well remarked that it is $50 non-partizan that
it would hardly be recognized as Democratic
journal outside of Massachusetts"-a paper
that in late number mourned that the United
States army could not avail itself of "the
splendid military talent of the South"-this
paper was virulent and abusive supporter of
Senator Morrill,. -.4 Fsua J. aJ-t Iaa
But mark the difference between the Re-
publican and some of our respectfully" con-
sentative journals at home. 1t is so clear to
the Republican that the battle is lost aohen a
NOMINATION is made, that it scouts the idea of
continuing it by forming unholy alliances with
the common enemy. Accordingly in Fridays
paper we find this: sWe take it the nominal
ton of Carl Schurz for senator by the Missouri
caucus insures his election, and that Mr.. Ham,
lin is equally sure an Maine, though the friends
of Senator Morrill, still sho,o fight" lli ff. saig.
The TRIUMPH OF GEN. 1owARD.-A Wash
ington dispatch says that the Council called
by the First Congregational Church of Wash
ington has reached its result and adjourned
sine die. The result which was unanimously
adopted, substantially vindicates Gen. Howard
and his friends, and condemns the peculiar
course of the Rev. DR.. Boynton and the small
majority who consider themselves the church.
1t advises that nearly all the acts complained
of by Gen. Howard were uncongregational
and oppressive, while it eriticises severely also
on the other hand some of the procedures of
the minority. 1t expresses doubt of the sue
cess of the enterprise should DIR. Boynton con-
tinue as its pastor. This is the more remarka-
BILE, as the Council was called by DR.. Boynton
and his friends for their own justification and
Cen Howard and his friends had no voice in
its selection. This result will be received by
Gen. Towards friends in Maine with peculiar
satisfaction, as they have watched with deep
regret controversy from which his enemies
have wrongly drawn conclusions not consist
ent with his character as a gentlem An and
Christian. b..
