FROM NEW HAMPSHIRE.

10 Me IIutioT OF inc JoNTHut:
The Republicans of New Hampshire are
feeling much interest in the result of your
election, which will occur four weeks from
next Monday, September the 18th; and so l
presume do the Republicans of the many
States whose elections will be in October and
November next. The Western States gener-
ally, will go Republican, while the Southern
States will generally go Democratic. Four
States will be closely contested, and both par
ties are quite confident of success in most if
not all of them. l allude to Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, Ohio and Indiana. New Jersey
holds her election November It'll, and the 9TH
er three States hold theirs the 10th of Octo-
Der. If the Republicans Of your State do the
best they possibly can do, and secure twelve or
| fifteen thousand majority over their opponents,
it will greatly aid our friends in the four States
| mentioned above, as well as other States in
less danger of Republican defeat. The next
political contest in this State will be the hard
est and hottest one ever known in the Granite
State, and it will commence Immediately after
the election in your State shall have passed.
| Ours will be a contest of six months, and will
end on the 18th of March next. The Repub-
licans will redeem the State from Democratic
rule by 2000 majority at least, and possibly
by 5000 majority. Office seekers in this State
will no longer rule the Republican party, and
hereafter office will seek the man to fill it, and
not the man seek the office to be filled. The
Democratic party injured its future prospects
vastly when the Legislature was in session,
by the means it employed, and others which
it sought to employ, to secure all the offices
possible by any and even by dishonest and
corrupt means But in most of their plans
they were defeated by an honest Senator
whom they could not purchase nor intimidate
4 The New Departure" policy adds nc
strength to the Democratic party here, as all
our men of both parties know that if the
Democrats were to come into power in the
, country the Southern portion of the party
would control Congress and the Executive
Department of the Government, and rule the
country as it might choose to do it. TIL,
Southern Democrats never failed to rule tn,
country when that party was in power.
You need have no fears about New Hamp
shire in the next Presidential election. TIL,
Indifference of last March has all passe,
/ away, and the young men are largely arrang
ing themselves upon the Republican platform
= and will do their duty nobly in March an,
: November of 1872.
n We are glad to see that our friends in Ken
/ lucky, last Monday, made great gains owe
e the result of the voting at all the elections il
e that State during the last twelve years, an,
4 North Carolina, the previous week, sustaine,
the wishes of the Republican party as to tn,
existing State constitution. California will
have its election on Tuesday before your da,
of election, and will probably make good Re
publican gains, and that and your State arr
r. the only ones that vote next month.
We are having fine weather and lately
good supply of rain in the Granite State, an,
, the crops generally are very promising Tn,
hay crop throughout the State was about two
, thirds of common crop in quantity, but in
far better than usual in quality. The farmer
are busy in planning to add to their small
amount of hay everything that will aid then
in feeding their herds and hocks next winter
Business of most kinds in all our large man
ufacturing cities and villages is very good
and prosperity generally abounds all over tin
