(of this county,) will meet in their re
speetive districts to elect deletzates town

SPRING ELECTIONS
As is usual the State of New Hamp
shire leads off the Spring elections, her
contest, for State officers la-ing fixL
the coining month. At the election, a year
112:0, in that tqate, the Democrat; were
confident of being triumphantly , ta•
cessful ; but they had no adequate 0 , 11, - 01,-
tion of the resou tees and prodligacy of
the Administration party. Feating
feat, the Abolition contractor , : and otThice.
holders bought a Demoerat , e °cheer in
the Army to tun as an - lileiienilenl
War Democrat," and by this means they
succeeded in dividing Our r.ror , -; and ear
rying their candidate. The vote ea,t,
upon that occasion, was for EASTMAN,
Democrat, 32,533; GmsionE, Republican,
29,085; HARLMAN, Independent, 4,37:2
Front these figures it will be sot n,
that EASTMAN came within eight
!lurid red and '-events - -four of a major
ity over all ; and had it not been
for the • shameful interference in the
contest by the Administration at
Was4ington, he would have been suc
cessful by ten thousand majority. But
when heads are so easily counted as
they are in a small State like New Hamp
shire, and where a party has a reserve
of thirty thousand soldiers to fall hack
upon and furlough for thirty days, pro
vided they vote the Abolition ticket, there
is but little use in contending against
such overwhelming advantages. And
yet, notwithstanding these palpable out
rages, and similar ones since, in other
Commonwealths, some of the Democrats
of the Granite State talk seriously of
carrying it at the approaching election.
Alas, vain hope ! One of these writes
to the New York World as follows :
I have been a member of the State Central
Commitee sixteen years—a part of the time in
the late Whig party, and a part on the Democrat
ic committee. I have more confidence in the
election of the Democratic ticket this year than
I have had any year since I have been a member
of theetimmittee.
This contemporary may be all that our
able contemporary styles him—a gentle
man of experience, caution and discrimi
nation; and his calculations may be
based upon sound sense and observation,
but what then ? He knows, probably,
almost the relative strength of parties in
his State, but so do his Abolition oppo.
nents, and thatis all they require to know,
to enable them to succeed. lithe Demo
crats are found to be five thousand in a
majority, by the count of Union
then ten thousand will be sent from the
army, just as fifteen thousaml were sent
last fall into Pennsylvania.
New Hampshire leads off in this year's
election, and next fall is the time fir the
Presidential contest. Does any one tcho
has been observing the current 01' affairs
at Washington, imagine that LiNcoi
has any idea of beim!. ilamaired for rc
nomination I,y lu ittp that commonwelilth

A SERIOUS OFFENCE
Culling Democrats traitors, or sympa
thizers with treason, is a serious offence.
The New Albany (Indiana) Ledges• say::
that: " At the recent term of the Scott
County- Circuit Court. Ci.kroc. sued KIM
BERLIN for calling him a traitor. The
facts were about a , : I n the mom la
of August last, FERitts, a Democrat, n as
endeavoring to get up a ,uhscription

the citizens to aid in making up a ,min
pany fur the Uni , m armv. CLARK had
subscribed fifty didlars, and he and FEm
RIS were soliciting the persons m ho k'hllle
into town to put down their nsim t.r
such amounts as they could , p,trt• .1110 , 11,z
others Ferttis zi pp I . ,,ached KImBEELIN,

some vonversam

said the names on the ,uhscription paper
were a pretty goo I te , t 4 lyalty. At
this KIMBERLIN heemile very angry, and
just at this time Ut.ARK attempted t o
kpeak to him, but had only said the
word; " Uncle Des," when KIMBER
IAN turned to him in a very angry man
ner and said : " I want nothing to do
with you, you are a disloyal man and a
traitor to your country !“ Itufllaing to
retract, CLARti sued him for the slander,
and the suit in a judgment [or
two hundred end seventy dollars dama
ges and costs, The judgment was based
oPon the verdict of a jury c4onpo,eCt of
