The March Election in New Hamp-
shire.

The campaign preceding the next
March election in New Hampshire
will be quite vigorous and hot. Each
of the political parties there will do all
they can to carry the State, so to speak,
in favor of its own candidates, and will
spare neither time, money or other
infuence-both good and bad-to
fetch about this result. We trust the
Democracy Of the Granite State will
do everything honorable in their pow
er to retain the ascendency which they
gained last March. The Prohibltory
(RadicaD Temperance party there
have nominated DR.. John Blackmer
of Sandwich, for Governor and Asa
S. Kendall, of Swanzey, for Railroad
Commissioner. The Labor Reformers
met in Convention at Concord, on the
9TH inst, and re-nominated the Hon.
Lemuel P. Cooper, of Croydon, tor
Governor and Levi b. Tucker, of
Plaistow, for Railroad Commissioner,
and adopted series Of resolutions,
against the general doctrines Of which
no true Democrat will object. The
Democratic State Convention was also
held at Concord, on Wednesday oflast
week. The Convention was largely
attended was enthusiastic, and the
members thereof, backed by the Dem
ocracy of the State, are determined to
win the victory on the second Tues
day in March next, if possible. Hon.
Edward ID. Rand, OF Lisbon, presided
over the Convention, which re-nomi
mated the Hon. James A. Weston, of
Manchester, for Governor; Henry
COLONY, Esq, of Keene, was nomi-
mated for Railroad Commissioner.

Put Up a Thorough Statesman.

We hear and read much about
Presidential nominees for the Demo-
cratic Convention of next year. Names
of what may be called prominent ~
men are in plenty; men having "aspi-
rations;" men earnest after place to
distinguish themselves; men very de
sirous of making sacrifices for their
country; men who will intimate to
their friends, very privately, what they
have done to merit nomination; men
who have served &" the party" faithful
ly, &c. Now, the time has come
when none of these men will answer.
The, old political hack, the noisy dema-
gogue, the man who would stump the
country to obtain votes, the clustering
patriot constantly trotted out by his
hackers as lust the individual will
not serve the Democratic party or the
country at this trying hour. The man
this country needs to day must be
dragged from his dignifed retirement
by the people, like Cincinnatus of old,
and placed in the high Office of Presi-
dent against his own personal wishes.
The man for to. day is the man who
don't want the Office. If we have in

The Next Congress.

The Apportionment bill now under
the consideration of Congress fixes
the number of members of the
House at 23l, on a basis of 136,ll9
souls to each representative, and gives
an additional member to States having
a fraction more than one half that
By this bill Vermont's number of

House TWO members instead Of three,

quite change in our delegation to
that body, and will cause much wire
pulling, etc, etc., to put it into opera

ment, the Democracy may stand a
chance to elect member from this
benighted and befooled Republican
State. zen. Butter amendment pro
vides that the election in all States for
members of Congress shall be held on
the first Tuesday after the first Mon
day in November, by which the cleo
ton of members Of Congress would,
every fourth year, be held on the same
day as that for President and Vice
President. 1t is considered that the
present system of electing members of
Congress at different times in the
several States deprives the people Of
the opportunity to speak uniformly on
any great question of legislation.

An Important Question.

1t is an indisputable fact that
all property which pays taxes
to the Government for its pro-
lection is entitled to receive it.
But how about property which
pays nothing for protection ?
Is that also in similar category?
This is a question which should
be considered by the American
people with reference to the
$2,OOO,0OO, of bonds which
are held by, say, 100000 peo-
pie, They contribute nothing
to the Government for its sup.
port. This being the case,
would they have any reason to
complain if the protecting hand
of the government were to be
withdrawn from them ? If
bondholders cannot afford to
pay their share of the burdens
of the Government, other peo-
pie cannot pay it for them. A
failure to vote the necessary In
terest would soon make bond
holders willing to pay some
thing for the protection they
receive, for which they are now
so unthankful.

Progress of the Northern

The energy with which the
building of this great thor
oughfare is being pushed for
ward is an added guaranty of
its early completion and its
wise management. We learn
flom the financial agents ofthe
Road, Messrs Jay Cooke q Co.,
that, at the present date, the
grading is nearly finished for
22G miles, from Lake Superior,
through Central Minnesota, to
the eastern border of Dakota;
trains are running over 1870
miles of completed track; the
Mississippi river is bridged at
Brainerd and once more joined
to the Lakes by rail, and track
laying is rapidly progressing
westward. BY September
next, trains will be run to the
Red river, and the grading
will probably be far advanced
toward the Great Bend Of the
Missouri river, in Central Da-
kota.
In the meantime work has
been commenced the present
season on the Pacific coast; a
large force Of men is already
employed in the valley of the
Columbia river, in Washington
Territory, and hereafter the
work OF construction VIII be
pushed both eastward and
westward toward the centre

interests of the road may JUST.

St. Paul and Pacific Road, the
