cred man Of our party whose in
tegrity and honor, though Otter
assailed, has never been sullied, ant
whose influence has ever been OK

the levees Of the Mississippi Valley;
also TO secure the establishment of
a U. S. District Court for tie
Northern District Of Louisiana, aud
should these bills become laws, it

overflow of the Mississippi and it's

THE NEW-HA MPSHIRE ELECTIOM

THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLICAN, PARTY.
To tho Editor OF The Tribune.
SIR: have been surprised at the editorial in
The WEEKLY TRIBUNE OF the 4th inst, "The Spring
Elections The influence OF The TRIBUNE seems to
DO there gwen to tho Grant Republicans, or GER
tainly not directly for tho Liberal Republicans of
the State who think they working consistently
and effectively to carry out the ideas of our cam
paign of 1872. THE TRIBUNE says Gov. Weston is a
weak candidate, and that disaffection toward him
has occasioned bolt and further. that the ticket
| is weakened by the platform accompanying 1t. 1t
seems to me there must be some msapprehenslon at
your Office concerning New-Hampshire affairs. Gov.
Weston we believe to be the strongest candidate
that could have been nominated by the combined
opposition. The Grant papers have tried to magnify
the pretended bolt of Foster, who has So
called Democratic paper in Dover; but Foster was
notoriousy purchased by the Administration, and
his efforts to create schism have boon utterly
futile. grant that the License plank is grevous
error, in the Judgment of many of us; but circum-
stances beyond control forced it upon the Con-
venton, which distinctly and broadly reaflirmed the
Cincinnati platform, on which the Democracy OF
New-Hanpshro now stand-the Liberals with them.
Last Autumn the Liberal Committee proposed that
il the Democracy would Issue broad call for
State Con venton, would affirm anew our Cincinnati
Baltimore platform. and drop the distinctive
appellation of Democratic" they would act with
them in tho pending campaign. The plan was
accepted and has been thus far carried out in entire
good faith. Tho organization stands squarely on
the Cincinnati platform. invites cooperation from
all voters opposed to tho Administration, is
christenod anew " democratic Republican, and it
has the support of every Liberal Republican in the
State-saye a few. who ceased to act with us from
Mr. Greeleys death.
On tho basis of union referred to- State
Committee adopted resolution to act with the
Democrats.
My belief was. and is that on the platform
referred to we should vote together in 1874
voted together in 1872. and that victory the
Administration in March would DO of great moral
effect. To this end have labored and to this end
the Liberals of tho State have labored. Yours

Capital punishment had been abolished in the earlier
ages and the downfall OF the Roman Empire began at
its reintroducton. Russia, Tuscany, Italy Denmark
