CONCORD, N. H., March 1.-THE Concord
Statesman thus sums up the causes OF the
Republican defeat:
Had Charles Sumner not been forced
from his place as chairman of the Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations. the Re-
publican vote would have been large: had
the San Domingo scheme been left to natu-
raj causes instead of being pushed with I'M
reasonable persistence, it would have been
larger; had Congress succeeded in restoring
our commerce to the extent and Importance
it had before the rebellion, it would
have been larger. Had some of the land
grant bills, however wise and just III them
selves; been discreet1yj deferred until the
public understanding had grown up TO
them, it would have been larger; ana had
ALI these causes of embarrassment been
withheld. we might have carried the State
nv nearly our usual majority, in spite OF
the decentralization produced in the party
by the forcing upon it of unpopular nomi-
nations made in packed caucuses.'
