The indications from this State appear to
be favorable to the reelection of Gov. Stearns.
by the people The several new parties which
have appeared in this contest, have been in
close communion with the Democratic party.
so close that the forces Of disintegration. con-
trary to the designs of the managers Of III at
party, have been so active that it really is
amusing to read their journals. The Demo.
cratlc state Committee is charged with sur
rendering to the Labor Reform.
The Concord Patriot protests against it.
The Portsmouth Times, the organ of the
Rockingham Democracy, takes an entirely
different view of the right of independent po-
iticai action of citizens from that taken by
the Portland Democracy, as set forth by Gen
Anderson.
The following article will show the animus
of the Democratic whip lash when thew have
occasion to use it:

What Does il Menns
HAVE WE TRAITORS IN OUR CAMP?
Last week, Wednesday evening the Demo-
cratic State Committee held a meeting in
concord, but Tor what purpose we know not.
we, however, have heard reports which, if
true, 60 to prove that they had better never
oeen corn. On Thursdayit was telegraphed
10 the Boston journal from Concord that the
committee had agreed, after stormy. all
night session, to recommend to the New
Hampshire Democracy to drop Gen. Bedel
and quietly vote for Sam. Flint for Governor.
In orcer to make him one of the constitutional
candidates before the Legislature. That story
has since been going the rounds all over the
State, attended by its legitimate demoraliza-
ton. And now this Monday, we have pri-
vate assurances from Concord that this is the
plot OF our State Committee, and that Sam.
Fllnts name is to be printed on large num-
bers OF our regular Democratic ticket, in: tead
OF John Bedel, for Governor, and runners are
to be DISPATCHED all over the State to distribute
these votes.
we denounce this as the vilest and black
est treason to principle and party, and the
men engaged in it are traitors to both. We
care not who they are, THEY DESERVE poLIr-
icAL DEATH AND DAMNATIoN, and it shall
pc no fault Ut ours if they DOM get both in
Iuii ana ample measure. 1t is the most infa-
nous OF the rascality we ever heard OF in the
politics OF this country, and its conniuers.
daders and aoettors ought to be branded with
marx OF erecration aoorse than that sohich
the Almighty put upon Cain, the murderer
Of ms brother. 1t is Generalization and
death to the Democratic party by the hands
Of political parracides.
John Bedel is the Democratic candidate.
fairly and legally SO. No matter whether he
IS the best man for the place or not. The
convention settled that question. The State
committee were chosen to manage the cam
paign according to their best judgment so as
TO secure !fpossibte the election of Mr.. Bedel
as Governor, and NOBODY ELSE. And now
40 they undertake to swap him off for an old
wlnd-broken, wheezy nag, WHO never travel
leo an inch on the Democratic road? Thirty
seven thousand Democrats Of New Hamp-
shire to be sold out for the benefit of a little
noisy side-sbow? A LOUD, LONG, DEEP
clustering CURSE, AND TEN THOUSAND OF
THEM TOO ON ALL SUCH TREASON.
