'THE NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION.
_ The result. of .the co6test in • New
. :Hampshire has been disastrous. The
Granite State has wheeled out of the
Republican coluinn, and wine overhorse,
foot and dragoons to the enemy. Be
. fore the election we bad the Governor,
' Legislature, and the whole delegation to'
Congress; since the election, we are iiha
minority in both branches of the Legir-'
lature, haven't h single Congressman,
and no Governor. Occasionally kfter .
a disaster, those that 'are *reeked, con- -
sole themselves with the reflection that'
it might have been worse, but the New
Hampshire Republicans will hardly be
credulous enough to extract comfort for
this consideration.
Like all the other Democratic victories
of the last year, this New Hanipshire
affair' is, simply a demonstration ,that
there are -Republicans enough in this
. country 'for one party, but not enough,
for two. In other words, the enemy have
achieved a victory through the divisions
in .our ranks', and tha Telly and short
sightedness of those who aspire to be
leaders. The Sumner difficulty being
the most recent occurrence on which
some persons could ride into notoriety,
and\coming right on the eve of the elec
tionefid most of this unfortunate work.
Had a month intervened for rational con
sideration, this defeat might have been
avoided, but now we have the mortifica
tion of seeing a Republican State trans
ferred to the . Democracy through our
own folly. Those who contributed most
to this result, would doubtless have
acted differently, bad they not supposed
New Hampshire , was safe
.'under any
circumstances. We hope now to see
' then do double duty as'a penance for
their political shortcomings.
If this sudden and unlooked for dis
aster shall be the means of teaching
some of our most prominent politicians,
ordinary prudence, it will prove a great
and lasting benefit to the party. - While
we greatly admire the independence
which speaks out for the right against
the action of the party, we have no
respect for that captiousness, which
stands ready, to find fault with what
injures no material interest of the country
and conflicts with no recognized Principle
of party faith. As long as the adminis
tration does its duty faithfully to the
country, and violates none of the principles
that those who have gave it power hold
dear their should be no denunciation of
its workings. In' all organizations their
must be mutual forbearance, in order
that their harmony and effectiveness be
not impaired.
The country has yet
,great use for the
Republican party. No other organiza
tion can lead it safely through the
dangers of the future, In the hands of
the Democracylis ruin will be inevitable
_and.specay - -, No man who calls himself .
a Republicandare doubt this. Who then
will take the responsibility of contribut-
Mg to its overthrow?
Tim Democracy are in eestacien. The
Sumner trouble gave thorn gloat enjoy
ment, .The -New Hampshire election fol
loWipg so closely upon it, hae increased
and multiplied their joy many thousands
of times. They see in these events, great
fortune for themselves. The strealcs in
tbp horizon are hailed them 'as
the . dawn of their political day. Al
ready they imagine their success assured.
Their great men can now become Presi
dents. Some of their other -men can - be
Senators and ,governors of States. - A
good many of them, who are, net
very much of men, can be postmasters,
-collectors, assessors and various other
things, by which people who have natu
rally not much that they can do, make
comfortable livings and in which they play
the kind of tricks that are said to make
angels weep. In every , city, town and
hamlet in the country, the Democratic
politicians are just now figuring what
kind of offices they would in'dividually
like to have thrust upon them. These
anticipations and dreams are pleasant,
but they are unwarranted.
Their own logic ,might teach the He
mocracy that they cirewithout hope, and
that their boasts arc Allo. On what are
their caleulatiQuie based? On our din
sioni and our 'defeats. Bay they, a party
come_to—ruim—if dissen
sions exist in'it. Well, will a party out
of power get along any better when its
leadersare jarring? But the -Republicans
have lost New Hampshire and they
cannot succeed. Well the Democracy
lost Now Jersey, last fall, which makes
the score about oven on that question.
If a majority party cannot survive dis
sensions, we imagine a minority party
has even less chance to survive them.
If the party in powtir can't afford to lose
- a email State, the party out of power
can't afford to lose a larger one.
The Democracy need have no trouble
among themselves in parcelling out their
honors and officeS in advance. The par
ty that wins in this countrymust win by
reason of - its own merits. It cannot ob-
tain power,solely through the default of
Its opponents. It will not succeed with
a platform that is merely, a criticism, or
au indictment of its adversary; People
hear mon for their own claims, not
cause their opponents are criticised.
The • Democracy, have 'no principles,'
Every idea they have advanced within
the last ton years has been exploded..
Every principle they have announced
has been proved false. Eyery prediction
they have made has failed. They have
no record that does not proclaim their de
.ferit, disgrace and dishonor. \Vhen they .
have atoned fur their treason, when they
have discarded,the 'principles that have
so often been repudiated, and when they.
announce a creed that contains in it just:
ice, equality,and liberty, they may hope
to conquer. , Until then the blunders or
dissensions of their opponents can afford
them no hope. • '

of our doubting co-laborers.
" The Sonata of the United States has
decided the public good required that
another man should take Mr. -Sumner's
place, us Chairman of the Committee on
Foreign Relations. We presume this
-step was taken on purely administrative
grounds. It was believed that at a criti
cal period in the negotiation of affairs
important M a degree seldom surpassed
in the lifetime of a nation, the, Adminis
tration and the country could be better
served by another man, who, though he
would not surpass Mr. Sumner in noble
integrity, nor approach him in learning,
might have the capacity of being a better
counselor, and a temper which should
not offend the self-respect of those who
were obliged to maintain confidential re
lations with him.
If Mr: Sumner had been turned out of
his position on account of his life-long
advocacy of liberty, or on account of his
fidelity to great national interests, or be
cause he honestly held views of policy
differing from those of - the President, or
because ho boldly stood up for the in
dependence and dignity of the Senate
against the machinations of a seductive
and scheming Executive, every impartiA
Man in the nation would have cried shame,
and would'have crowned him a martyr.
But no such supposition' is true. • The
whole truth wo suppose, lies in this, that
with all his eminent excellence,, Mr.
Sumner does not know how to yield any
thing to others: Ile does not know how
to have - a - conscience suprez e over him
self .without making it supreme over
others. It is no news that the eminent
Senator is a man of singular -purity of
life, of eminent disinterestedness, of
reproachable fidelity, of great kindness
of heart, of unbounded industry, and of
great. learning. But is it less
.widely
known that he makes his own convic
tions the imperious law of other men's,
that lie is apt to regard as personal foes
all who do not accept his 'judgments,
that he is a poor leader and a worse col
MEE
It was stated, in the debate in the
Senate, that Mr. Stunner was nht in so
cial relations, either with the President,
or with the Secretary of State. The
charge wasmot denied.; it
,was only met
by saying that Mr. Sumner wan not at
all limes - ready to confer with General
Grantor Mr. Fish on public affairs. Are
these gentleinen likely to profit by the
counseldof a man who refuses to recog
nize them on one side of the council
room door, and only known them officially
on the other aide? One may transact
mere routine business with an arrogant
office-holder, but in matters of counsel,
requiring confidential consultations, it is
preposterous to suppose that the Presi
dent can be benefited. by one who looks
down on Gen: Grant with enduring anger,
and imperiously refuses him a social re
cognition. -
- It may be said that trio Chairman of
Foreign Relations is an officer appointed
by the Senate, that he lumtodo vvith.the
Senate and not with the Executive:. But
practice has. established vital relations
between the Executive and the Commit
tee of the Senate on Foreign
,Relations.
That committee stands at the - point at,
which the - Constitutio makes the Ex
ecutive and the Sonata' co-operative.
Neither the President alone, nor the
Senate alone,' can make treatiek with
foreign nations. The Constitution or
dains that in some things their action
shall be co-ordinate. To put a personal
enemy of the President at the head of the
committee thiough-which the President
is to be in sympathy with the Senate, is
as if a gentleman should attach a gal
vanic battery to the bell-pull of his door,
and then maivel tfiSt people preferred to
transact their business with .sonicbody
•
else.
It is to be regretted that this actien of
the Senate took place, and still more that
it was twee:t:lly to have. it take phtce.
Butitho,country will hold the President
responsible for the settlement of the di tit
culties which have lung threatened to'
embirtfil,two groat nations that ought to
be he)pful, to each other, and whose fall-
ing out wUuld be hailed 0 ith deliglit by

the Anglo-Saxon race should stand to

dent has a right to demand that. he shall
have the friendly help of the best 1114311 iu

that another is put in his place o who

was adopted by Speaker Webb last week,
to crush out certain measures that were
considered of doubtful propriety. The
bills creating commiSstons for the city of

reported favorably" One morning the
Speaker surprised the House by the
nonncement that he had increased the
committees which had ji these bills iu

hostile to the hills. This new element in
the cinnin ttees could not be manipulated

WHO IS HE ?—We clip the following
from the Lancaster Inquirer of Friday
last, referring to a clergymaa hailing
from this county':
"lIKFORNIATION IN TUli CITY LOCKUP
Au individual calling himself lice. Wil
liam Perry, and claiming to hail from
Cumberland county, approached Officer
Cramer last eight and asked for lodgings.
Ile was escorted to the city lockup, where
he spent the night. This morning he
arose at an early hour, and asked the
keeper whether he ever prayed ; but be
fore he had time to receive an answer,
remarked that he would pray for the
keeper—and thereupon-knelt clown and
offered up an earnest and devout pray,F.
When brought before Recorder Evans
he declared himself to be "A Traveling
Pilgrim," and that his special mission'
was to arrest the fearfully rapid progress
of the habits of swearing, smoking and
chewing tobacco. Thu " pilgrim" is not
a bad looking man, although 'far from
wearing the appearance of a clergyman.
Neither has he the propel' credentials for
a . minister. Ile is probably not. more
than twenty-eight years of age, wears a
slouch hat, pantaloons tucked in boots,
and carries,a 'black valise.' Ile is evi
dently demented."

—About 4 o'clock on Friday morning
last - Thu r - eititens - were - startled - from - their
slumbers by the dread cry of " fire." On
proceeding to the spot we learned that
thefire originated in the dwelling of Mr.
James Jones (colored) residing on North
street, between Pitt and Most streets.
Mr. .T. informs us that it has been custo
mary for him to. "smoke his pork" in
the chimney, but ho always took the•
necessary precaution to see that the fire
was all right before retiring.
William Jones, a young man of about
'4O. years of age, slept in the room directly
overhead, and was first awakened by a
choking sensation, caused liy the smoke,
which filled the apartment. He immedi
ately gave the alarm,
,and succooded in
arousing the family, who wore con oiled
to make their escape by jumping from
'the Windows on the _second floor. In a
very - few moments 'thereafter the flames
were extinguished and thus a serious
conflagration avoided. The fire • was
caused, no doubt,- by the fat dripping from
the meat and falling on the "dying .em
boie," which soon started the flames and
speedily communicated to the fir'eboard.
Itet:woop 400 and •500 potinds% of Meat
were consumed, together with consider
