NeiC Hampshire Politics

CONCORD, n. ii. March IA. The
Statesman has official returns of the
election from all places in the State,
excepting Enrol and Wentworth's
Location, which last year gave forty
one Democratic majority. Reckon
ing these two towns on the basis of
1860, Gov. Stearns is reelected by
1851 maiJrity. The Republican
canvass showed his reelection by
l1S2 ma GRITTY, which is another con.
vi1cing proof of the marvellous cor
rectnesS of Republican canvasses.
ESpec ally in the last campaign does
it lcilect the highest credit upon
Hon. Il. ii. Rollins, the faithful
and efficient chairman of the Re.
publican State Committee, whose
great abilities as a political organ
lzer and manager were never so
conspicuously displayed as during
the four weeks preceding our recent
election.
The Daily Patriot of this evening
has very significant leader of
nearly two columns in length, ex-
planatory of the present political
status Of the Democratic parry in
New Hampshire, under the head of
.'The Past and Future 1t says -
"Persistent efforts have been and
are being made, by misrepresenta-
ton OF the facts, to place us in the
wrong on the ''little unpleasentness"
which seems to have arisen between
the State Committee and $1,000 of
the Democrats of New Hampshire,
and ii unopposed these efforts may
be successful, Hence, justice to
ourselves and the thousands of hon.

a plain statement of the facts in the
matter. This we propose now to do,
and in so doing we shall "notEing

malice"
The Patriot then goes into a his

Democratic Committee on the even

rumor that prevailed the next morn
