By common consent, tlie election In New Hump shire was rngrrrtlerl as Sxlcst of the Presiden tial contest of 1808. At the first Stato to vote tbe present year as a State nearly equally divldotl and always sharply contested as a State of intelligent and independent freemen its Ucciaioa was looked for with an anxiety. Tbe people of New Hampshire are Con servatives of Justice, Liberty and National Integrity. If the impeachment of President Johnson were such a revolutionary outrage Lis backers pronounce it, nowhere would it be resented and resisted more sternly, than in New Hampshire. The State was never mure thoroughly canvassed thatf during the last womb. Two newspapers to each family l probably below the average ; and able and eminent men of both parties drew them together from night to night by thousands. Our victory isom let Gov. Harriman will have about 8,200 majority ; last year he had 8,148. J2r"Tko Democratic State Convention toot at Ilarrinburg on the 4th inst. Wm. Hopkins, of Washington county, presided. Charles E. Boyle, of Fayette county, wns nominated for Auditor General, and Gen. Wellington Eufc, of Columbia county, for Surveyor General. Wm. V. M'Grath, of Philadelphia, and Gen. Geo. W. Cass, of Allegheny, were chosen Presidential Elec tors for the State at large, and Isnac E. Uicsler, Wm. F. Packer, Geo. W. Wood ward, and Wm. Bigler, were chosen dele gates at large to the National Convention. W. r. Witbington, of this county, was cho sen Presidential Elector for this district, and Dr. D. M. Crawford, of Juniata, and Gen. W. H. Miller, of Harrisburg, were elected delegates to represent the district in the National Convention. Tho resolutions adop ted by the Convention are of the usual stamp of Copperhead gathering. iW The New Judicial District. The recent act of the Legislature, forming Ly coming county into a separate Judicial dis trict, became a law without the Governor's signature. Northumberland, Lycoming and Montour counties constituted Judge Jor dan's district, which was one ol the heaviest In the State. Northumberland county, alone, is heavier than one-half the other districts. Judge Jordan regrets the necessity that compelled lita separation from his Lycoming friends, and nothing but his onerous duties induced him to consent to a division. The Governor has not yet made an appointment for tbe new district. E?Thb New York TrUune says tho New York World was mado hnppy by art Ticca that Pike county, Pa., had gone strong ly Democratic. That county never gave less than three to one for any tieket labeled Democratic. They used to burn the build ings of Republican voters during tho War for tho Uoiou in some pirns of that dark county. Three Loco Focus and three jugs of whiskey to each spelling book used to be the proportion iu that county, and it has not yet been materially changed. It must be bard sledding w ith tho sham Democracy when they have to shout over a victory iu Pike, now cheerful they must be over the returns from New Hampshire I t3 Rotfcrt J. Walker, of whose Demo cracy there can be no possible doubt, in his great argument in the Mississippi case, held tbe following langusgo in regard to the President's duty to execute all the laws of Congress, w ithout reference to their con stitutionality : "And here let me say a word in vindica tion of the Prcaidett, who has been greatly censured, especially by a large portion of the Secession press of tho South, fur carry ing into execution au act which he bad Vetoed upon the ground that it was uncon stitutional. When a bill is presented to the President, he is bound to inquire into its constitutionality before he gives his ap proval. He is then co-operaiing with tbe legislative department of the government. If ho declines to sign it acd it is passed: by a ttfo-tliirtlj majority of Congress, it is a much an act of Congress as if it bad received the sanction of llto Prceiucot ; and it neces sarily follows that, under the obligation im posed upon him by the Constitution to see that the laws aro faithfully executed, he is as much bound to execute that act as one which met hi fullest approval, Why f Because tho President possesses no judicial power; nor does CougreoS. If Congress were to attempt to convert itself into a judicial body, and the two Houses should f;o into Committee of the Whole to inquire nto tho constitutionality of a particular act, their resolution on that nut ject would be a mure nullity, because they posesa legis lative power, and not executive or judicial power. 8 the President had no right to judge of tho constitutionality of au net of CongreM after it had become a law, that be ing a judicial question. If this were uot so, it would be the right, and tliurtfoio tbe duty, of every successive President, so soon as be was inaugurated, to take up the hun dred of volumes containing all the acts of Coonrtfi, and inquire judicially which of them were coutiiutiouul, and which nut, and carry iuto execution thosu which he believed to be constitutional. I say the Pretidt ut would be usurpiog the judicial function, anil overthrowing the distinction created by the Constitution between the c ordinate dtpartuitnta of the Government if he were to attempt to exercise such a power as that. IIu has no MhCJtiCTioa except to execute tho tut; and thut important fact goes to tho very gUt of tho matter. When an application is made fur a maudatnus to compel the performance of an act, or au injunction to rcstraiu the execution of an illegal act, it depend upou whether the executive o!Tieers have a discretion in either ciso to Jjdgo of the law, anil a right to execute it or not at their jdeaaure. If they have Qoducretinn, and the law positively commands the execution of a particular act, the remedy W by mandamus to act affirma tively ; if the hw forbids peremptorily the execution of an act, then, where it can be made a Judicial question, the appeal is to trie judicial tribunals, and especially where lao quest iou is a constitutional one. In this raaotho President ha no discretion ept to tittcut tho law ; the subordinate officers who are obeying his commands Hve n. dLcretioit, except to carry bis or-k-rs tnM ..ttcct ; and there is no discretion i syi rn betwcui an r .c"uivi an ) a cniuuni! fluti." j.y The Board of Preabyten appointed to try the Rot. Stephen II. Tyng, jr., for tbe violation of a canon ef tbe .

THE CONVENTION DECLARES FOB CHANT AND CUHTIN. PmLADRDHiMA, March 11. The Repub lican State Convention assembled at the Academy of Music at ten o'clock to day, the attendance being very largo. The convention was called to order by Col. P. Jordon, Chairman of the State Cen tral Committee, who delivered the follow ing ADDRESS. Gentlemen of the Contention and FvlUno Citisent: We, and our co-workers, for the last secn long years, have been tightiogthc great battles of liberty and humanity ; not only for this country, and for our day, but for the whole world, nnd for all time. Some times on the battle-field, and sometimes at the ballot box ; but however the scenes of coufiicts tray have changed the great prin ciples involved have ever bcuii and yet are essentially the tame. Much blood has been shed, and many trials and sacrifices endur ed; and, thank God, many triumphs achiev ed. But the history of the eventful past, ani the grave duties aDd responsibilities of the prcseut. alike assuio us that "the cod is not yet." The great conflict between good and evil, right and wrong, freedom and sla very, is eternal ; and having put our bands to the plow, wo can but press onward to the fulfilment of our mission, until the thorough suppression of rebellion aud tbe complete reconstruction of tbe rebel States are accomplished facta; and until the rights of all men are established on the immutable foundations of universal liberty and impar tial justice. In our past struggles we have met and overcome all conceivable danger ous obstructions. Wo bavo encountered t perils at home and abroad, by land and sea, aud last but not least, perils from false. ; r-,thren. cut .B.. ...o o..urgo aim fidelity ol our soldiers, too patriotic itevo tiou and enduranco of our people, aud the fiiuiceeu, wisdom and loyality of our nation al Congress, we have thus far triumphed over ail our foes. The House has recently given renewed evidence of courage and fidelity, and every loyal man excepts the Senate to do its duty. Inspired by past victories we have made the high resolve, "That the nation sbull, un der God, have a new birth of freedom ; and that tbe government of the people, by tbe people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth." By the cuntinued blessing of tbe Almighty we shall repeat and increase our triumphs, uatil tbe great and fundamen tal principles shall be established aud per petuated, that the majority shall rule, aud that this great, and free republic shall be governed by those only, who are faithful to her national unity, aud loyal to ber in visible flag. Many of our gailaut rank and filo are not with us to day, aud not a few of our noblest and purest leaders have fallen in the strife : but such is the inevitable lot in all warfare. Men die, but principals ore eternal. Let ns, in the light of these con victions and lesponsibilities, tako counsel together, and in faith and iu wisdom choose other standard bearers, and if, as indicated by the signs of the times, the lot should fall on thut modest patriot and hero, Gener al ''Unconditional Surrender" Grant, it will be a pledge to the world, "known and read of all men," that we mean "forthwith to move on the enemy's works," and that we "will fight it out on this line, if it takes all summer." . Congratulating you upon tbe numbers, character aud enthusiasm with which you have cumo up to renew the conflict, aud in voking the spirit of wisdom, patriotism and harmony on all your deliberations, I now perform my hist official act as chairman of the State Committee, by catling this con vention io order. At tbe conclusion of Colonel Jordan's re marks, the Convention proceeded to organ ize temporarily. Colonel Wm. B. Mann was elected Chairman, with tbe usual com plement of Vice Presidents and Secretaries. Uen. Lemuel Todd, of Cumberland coun ty, was elected permanent Chairman. He, in a speech of some length, reviewed tbe present condition of national aflairs, and lutimated that the preferences of the con vention for the Presidential offices had centered upon Geo. U. S. Grant ad Andrew U. Curtin. After beiiitf regularly orgauized, the Con vention proceeded to a ballot as a means of ascertaining tho preferences of members of candidates for President and Vice Presi dent of the United States. The convention declared for Grant unani mously. For Vice Presideut. Andrew G. Curtin received 109 votes; Benj. F. Wade 23; Edwiu M. Stanton 1. The present State officers, Uartranft and Campbell, were unanimously nominated for re election to the ollicua of Auditor General aud Surveyor General. The New Albany (Inu.) Ledger 'says that the slilj) carpenters and boat builders of that city are leaving in large numbers. About twenty oftbeiu have contructed a flatboat, thirty feet long by twelve feet ide. and will start down the river in search of work. They have no idea where they will stop, or whether work can be obtained at points below, but tbe venture has been de termined upon. A Earlt Si-kino.

The Lmdm Morning $r soys, editorially : "President Johnson seems determined to bring tbe contest between himself and the legislature to au issue. Having failed to entrap Gen. Grant tnto an attitude of Ms tility to Congress, be he. at tongth iseued an order, removing Mr. Stanton Ministry of War, and appointing Adjutant Uen. Thomas in bis room. Mr. Stanton has referred the matter to Congress, and, mean time, refuses to ive op possession. The Senate has -passed resolution declaring he order of Br. Johnson illegal, and both the Senate and Uonse of Representatives have requested the Reconstruction Committee to coosider what further action should be taken. One telegram even states that the House of Represent etives lias passed by a majority a resolution to impeach the Presi dent for this act of illegal tity. It is baid te see how they can avoid such a course and were it not that the devious ways of Ameri can politicians on the evo of a Presidential election are inscrutable, we cannot divine what President Johnson expects to gain by his willful and defiant course, except to pluogu tho country into excitement and contention. In a monarchical State a con flict or this nature would almost necessarily lead to civil war. Tlkcre is no fear of such a result in America, simply because Mr. Johnson cannot command a man, or a mus ket, or $1,000. There tnay be excitement, there may be a great impeachment -case, there may be a Stato trial before the Su preme Court, but the appeat will be to law, not to violence. Mr. Johnson evideutly ex pects that if be can drive his adversaries into the extreme position of impeaching him. the more moderate people throughout the Union will come over to bis eide. In this we believe ho will be mistaken. In the American community, when tho question fairly comes to tho front, whether the view of the law taken by the House of Legisla ture or that taken by Mr. Andrew Johnson is to be upheld, tho people will eido with their representatives, and send Mr. Andrew Johnson back to Tennessee. It is a pity for tho great Republic that in place of the firm ness, combined with wisdom, which distin guished Mr. Lincoln, she should uow have in her Chief Magistrate an obstinacy which keeps tbe whole nation in turmoil. The contrast at once shows the strength and weakness of a republican form of govern ment. The people may be mistaken in their choice, but tliey can also get rid of their President if he sets himself above the law. If Mr. Aadrcw Johnson had been a king in a limited inoaarchy, he would have run a great chance of losing his head in a less metaphorical fashion than he seems already to have done. SEWS I ltO.Tl M MNIinUTOX. Washington, March 8. The Committee of Managers on tho Im peachment case have decided that the riuht to challenge, on tho part of tho President, does not exist, as tho Constitution provides thut the Senate shall try tho case; and, again, that every Stato shall have two votes in tho Semite. In this view, they will quote a number of precedents to sustain their point, in carrying w hich, they have no doubt of success. ' ' Senator Wade's Eligibility. It is believed that the chief reason which Prompted Senator Heudricks to withdraw is objection to the oath being administer ed to Mr. Wade, after long interviews with President Johnson, Messrs. Black. Field and Groesheck, was tbe fear that the point mado by Senator Thayer, that Senator Patterson being of tbe family and household of the President, should be excluded if any one was to be, might prevail, and as one Demo crat ruled out is equivalent to a gain of two Republican votes, they feared to press the matter nnv further, for feur it migbl result in liiu selling aside of both Messrs. Wade and Patterson. This being tue cau, it is not likely that Mr. Wsxie will again be chal lengcd. How A. J. will Answer tdb Senate's SUMMOKS. The summons to tho Presideut is mado returnable on Fridav, the 13th. when the President's counsel will ask for a delay of thirty days, but tbcrois no probability that over a weeK or ten days will be granted him. Some of the Senators are opposed to giving mm any more tune than to tue ensu ing Monday, but there are enough conser vative Senators to combine with tho Demo crats to give him all the time he needs. Tue House Managers. Tbe managers on the part of the House have not yet taken any testimony, and all stories to the contrary are unfounded. Several witnesses have volunteered, but none have as yet been accepted by the com mittee, nor has the question of withdrawing Mr. Butler's article even been suggested in the committee. Length op the Trial. There is much diversity of opinion as to '.he duration of the trial, and although no accurate estimate can le formed at this time, it is most likely tbat the trial will last until the middle or last Apiil. No one here who bas an opportunity to judge and who can look upon tho issue impartially, doubts a conviction at no distant day, and noneie lieve tbat Mr. Johnson can so far overcome his insatiated thirst fur office as to resign even for a day or an hour. Ad Interim Tuomas to be Rrcogmzed- The President stated to' a member of Con gress yesterday that hereafter ad interim Thomas would be invited to attend Cabinet meetings, and should be recognized as Se cretary of War, and if any one did not like to have hi in exercise the duties of the office they could resort to legal proceedings to remedy it. What demonstration' he will muke to get possession of the War Depart ment, both of which are open to bim. Secretary Stanten remains at the War Department day and night, having his meals brought to him, and holds levees day end night, which are attended by hosts of friends, including members or Uot ti Houses, prominent among whom is Senator Wade. For over a week past Adjutant General Thomas has only called and humbly asked for his private letters, which are given him by Assistant Adjutant-General Townsend, who acts as Adjutant General. The rootn of Thomas is being keptloi ked up and the key ia in the personal custody of Mr. Stan ton, who refuses to give it to him unless he will resume his duties as Adjutaut General and abandon his assumptions to the office of the Secretary of War. Never Mloriu lis KunaaM City. Kansas Citv, March 7. There was a very heavy wind aud rain storm .in this vi cinity yesterday noon. Large streams of water ran along the streets, and many cross ings were impassable. A large number of basements sod cellars was flooded. The spire of the First Presbyterian church was blown down, and a portion of the roof taken off. Several chimneys and small buildings were demolished. Signs, lumber aud splin ters flew In all directions. Tbe rain cut great gullies in the newly made streets and caused heavy land slides in the streets where grading is being done. This wss the hea viest storm ever known ia this locality. No estimate of damages can as yet be made. Rome thirty years ago there appenred a statement in Gov.

He bas also formally established a War Office in tbe White House, and m I stated last oiglrt,bM directed that in the future all business connected with the army oilgioatiog in the Executive branch of the Government shall be transacted through bis ad inttrim Secretary, General Thomas. The wildest rumors have teen afloat to-day regarding tbe President's fu ture course, and it bas been feared tbat he intended to resort to force to oust Secretary Stanton, but I have reason to believe that they .have no foundation save in the facts given above. It 4s probable that another attempt to amend tho rules adopted by tbe Seuate to govern tbe impeachment trial will be made in that body to-morrow or next day. F. J. Tucker, who was arrested in New York for undertaking -to raise troops to op pose Congress, is in. town for the purpose of furthering the interest of a national politico-military organization, to be called tbe "Constitutional Alliance," and which in tended to be an offset to tbe Grand Army of tbe Republic.
