The New Hampshire Election.

As intimated in our last issue the
Republicans carried the State on
Tuesday of last week. They have
elected Gov. Cheney by IA large and
increased majority. They have also
carried both branches Of the Legislat-
ure and The Governors Council. Tn c
vote aggregates over $4,000, and is
the largest ever thrown in New
Hampshire. Previous to this, the
largest vote ever cast in the State
was in the Lincoln Presidential cam
paign. When the returns are al in
and corrected we shall give them
briefly. The Boston Post says,
That 0his) Republican victory was
purchased with the money furnished
BY office-holders' which is fact
More hereafter.

The New York Legislature need not waste
any time In cndcavoring to increase an
odiOus and an unconstitutional tax. The
constitutionality of these State laws i'm
posing tax upon all foreigners and i'm
migrants coming to our shores will be
passed upon, in few days, by the Su-
preme Court of the United States. There
can be no doubt about what that judicial
decision will be. Congress has the exclu-
sive power to regulate commerce. An
essential, if not the most essential, part of
commerce is passenger commerce. If
States like Rhode Island and New York
can tax all aliens landing on their shores
$l.50 per head, such States can tax the IN
$500 or $1,000 per head. Upon this theo-
ry, Il State can not only 'obstruct, but
practically destroy, that commerce ouer
uhich Congress has exclusive control. The
statement of the proposition demonstrates
its absurdity. 1t is an incomprehensible
mystery that these odious and vexatious
State taxes on passengers have not long
ago been declared unconstitutional. In
addition to being in clear conflict with Il
plain provision of the Constitution, they
are inconsistent with the spirit OF our
treaty obligations, which require us to
permit the citizens or subjects of all ma
tons with which we have treaties to en-
ter our ports for business or pleasure,
without hindrance or obstruction. A
tax, whether large or small, is an OBJ
struction. A.F.B.
