Boston. Nov 3.-The Journal says to-
night: within the past few hours more
than hundred thousand dollars has been
sent into the State of New Hampshire by
the Democrats, to be used as a corruption
fund. We do not anticipate that the sturdy
Republicans of the Granite State can be
bought with money, but the effort is being
made. The Democrats know that upon the
result OF the election in New Hampshire the
organization of the next United States may
depend. The fact, admitted now by the
Democrats, that Connecticut will 60 Repub-
lican, and that New England will present an
unbroken Republican front, has induced the
Democratic managers to make desperate
effort To break the line. Republicans OF New
Hampshire, there is an insidious enemy at
your door. BE vigilant and spurn the
bribes."
