THE NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION

The NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECIION
The result of the New Hampshire cleo
ton gave the Southern Democrats fit of
frerfulness. It seemed to look like no
am unit of corruption exposed. could pre-
vent the Northern people from supporting
a Republican ticket But this is very
Unjust view of the matter, and very
thoughtless one When the Credit Mobi-
lier frauds, in which the Republican Vice
President of the United States was shown
to be implicated, were exposed, the effect
was not felt on State elections. The party
to which he belonged carried State after
State for months after that. But when
the Congressional election came around,
when men were elected to take part in the
National Government, the Republican
party was swept from power like rotten
drift-wood before flood. The same feel
ing that pervades the North pervades this
State. If a Democratic President were
in the suspected condition Of President
GRANT, or Democratic Secretary of War
had fallen from his high estate, and the
Democratic Secretary Of the Navy was
about to follow him, as is the case with
the Washington Administration now, and
the exposure came off in the midst of a
canvass in Virginia between JOHN W.
DANIEL and ROBERT w. HUGHES for Gov
ernor, no Conservative would think that
corruption in Washington made it proper
for him to vote for HUGHES, a Republican,
over DANIEL, the Conservative. And so
it was in New Hampshire.
The people at the North, we believe, are
as intent on having National Govern
ment of strict integrity as we of the South
are. They have shown it by turning out
corrupt Congress, and they will repeat it
by turning out "a corrupt Administration.
They are just as much interested as we
are. Ali the honesty in the United States
doesn't lie in the Democrats of the South,
as some seem to think, nor all the motives
for an honest government. Have patience,
and with it try and have common sense
AN INVITATION COME HOME TO RoosT.
Virginia, by joint resolution of her
lCSlolotuuIc, tpplOVtu MdLCu 10. 1oI1 III
vited the States once part of her terri
tory, in grandiloquent terms, to meet her
at Philadelphia in 1876 to Jubilate centen-
nially. 1t seems thai Kentucky for one
actually took the thing seriously, and made
liberal appropriation for the purpose last
winter. The resolutions adopted on the
occasion were headed by preamble from
which we make the following extract:
sAnd whereas, the State of Virginia, by
special expression, has invoked such States
as were once part of her territory, and
are still bound to her by ties of blood, SYM
pathy, and interest, to a free and full co.
operation in this patriotic measure; and,
whereas, Kentucky being first-born to the
Mother of States, and holding with jealous
enthusiasm the knowledge of her parent
age, proud in her heritage OF blood, and
rich in the endoWments which nature has
lavished upon her, knowing her vast re-
sources of agricultural, mineral, and intel
lectual wealth, always anxious for it's de-
velopment. and willing to contribute album
dainty to the Worlds commerce, and The
Republics prosperity" &c.
Copies of the Ke lucky resolutions have
been sent Mr.. Stuart, of Augusta, and a
member of the House from Richmond.
