NEW HAMPSHIRE.
Later returns from New Hampshire
how that the Republican party has
q sweeping victory. The
senate will be thrss-fourths Republican;
no Assembly will have a large working
majority Of Republicans: the Council Is
wholly composed Of Republicans.
md q Republican Governor Is reelected.
This is tho nrst gun Of tho campaign
.ndits echoes will revcrbsnte Throughout,
he country. In the face Of the proven
Of sorne Of its high officials
and the constant and wide spread accu'
a.ions and limitations against nearly
all Of lis prominent leaders. the Rspub-
iican party stands hrm and undaun.sd.
The rsason Ia plain TO those who ears-
fully canvass the situation. The Re
publican party has fixed ideas OF public
policy; |, is based upon principles which
are enduring. and which command the
support Of an intelligent people. The
Democratic party has thus far shown
itself devoid Of both. II has no policy.
no principle. II has, since In solvent to
power. In the Lower House Of Consrsss.
failed 70 devise ono single measure look
ing to the public welfare. II IL divided
upon the most vital question Of the day;
thal Of finance. Il has taken no stand
upon another question which Is claim
ING he attention oishe-piblic every
where; that Of the separation OF Church
and State and the Matchmaking OF the
Common School System. In short. II
has done nothing since last Dscembe'
to inspire confidence either in It's capae-
iiy or intention to give the country good
government. II has confined itself 70
appointing investigating committees,
and. sidsd BY Republicans, has succeeded
In unearthine some corruption among
Republican officials. For this service
al good citizens are undoubtedly thank
full. But with all this the country does
moi look to its detectives for It's rulers.
and 10 Ia not customary to elect spies to
once. The public rightly assumes that
the business Of detective, while useful
and perhaps necessary. does not tend to
ft men or parties for the task OF public
government. So we sec that in spite Of
exposed corruption among ofacials Of
the dominant party. II has succeeded in
New Hampshire. Thinking men realize
the fact that In public, a. In private life.
there will DO black sheep; that corrupt
mon . often successful; and justly
conclude that the existence OF such a
state Of things IL unavoidable. and does
NOT condsmn the whole society or party
wherein IL IL found.
The Democratic party has never since
il futile attempt TO destroy tho Govern
ment In 1850. and for four years there.
after. shown any valid rcaso for ii
restoration 10 power. Even were every
accusation mads against tho Republican
party proven to be true, IL would be nc
argument In favsr Of q Democratic res
toration. II Smith. q proven disloyai'
iss and traitor. should assume and sven
prove that Brown. nm oficsr-holder. In
Dishonest and corrupt. 4, might perhaps
Be reason for busting brown. but would
certainly 30 no argument in favor OF
filling the vacancy thus created. by In
ducting Smith into said Office. SO all
the arguments Of tho Democratic party
against Its Republican opponent
are negative. They may satisfy
the public that tho hitter Is
NOT worthy 70 have charge OF public AZ
fairs. but In 80 doing they offer no rsa-
con for their own Advancement. The
fact 10 that the public has not yet for
gotten the VA and the record Of It's
Democratic party in connection there
with. II has read tho speeches Of the
rebel leaders In Congress, perussd the
resolutions introduced by prominent
Democrats. declaring against national
unity and in favor Of . bsatad Cal
hounism. and made up It's mind thai a
pasty. The majority Of whose member
still adhere TO such theoriA. il not ft to
rule the nation. And this 10 the reason
Why New Hampshire shows an increased
Republican majority. The same reason
viii influence the public mind through
ont tho coming campaign. and will re-
suit a. in New Hampshire. in the con-
tinusd supremacy Of tho party Of liberty
and equal rights. d
TEE next States which will hold gen.
srsl elections are Connecticut. on the
Arsi Monday OF April. and Rhode Is
Land. on the first "wednesday OF the
sans month. Connecticut is at present
rsekopsd as q pronounced Democratic
STATE. while Rhode Island ID. perhaps.
the most thoroughly Republican Of any
