Steele, the Democratie candidate for , jrnor was elected by a majority of obout 500. riircc nommw for Hongrosa of that pnrly cv'ere elected. ín Hale's district there is no :hoice. The Liberty vote of the State does not look like "dyinp awoy." Last year the wholo vote for President Was 4,161 - this spring it is 5,271, ond 33 towns not heard trotar Tlie Democratie vote has fallen off several thousands since last fall. The Freemnn says: The Liberty vote is probably ahout the same that it was last year. But our renl ga in is considerable, for last spring a large numbor of conservativos voted our ticket, who have now followed their frightened leaders back mto the party traces. Our lust spring vote was not a test of our real strength, as is the present.- We are now sure of at least six thousand voers in New Hampshire, whose fidelity to free principies will never folter, and whose moral and political energies are eufficient for the redemption of cHö State. The dominant party fl totlering to its fall, and the Liberty party alone- the true democrocy- will nse upon its ruins.05 It is well known that the Sufifrage party of llhode Island, who were sozealous for their own rights, by the Constitution which they formed, -prohibited colored persons Frora the exercise of that right, which was equivalent to thrusting them from the rank of citizens. But Dorr, who is now irnprisoned there for life, is said to have been always opposed to this mensure of his pclitical friends.- The Middlesex Standard says:"Thomas W. Dorr, to his evcrlasting honor, made strenuous efforts ngainst that iniquitous clausein the constitution- and eloquently and earnestly vindicated the rwhte of the colored man. His speech on that occasion has never been fully renorted, but the abstract published in the Providence papers at the time, is ahke honorable to hishead & heart. We know, from conversations with him just before his return to. and imprisonment in Rhode Island, that he regarded the adoption o the obnoxious clause as a great and fatal error; and looked back to his opposition to it, with pleasure and self-congratulation, as one of the best acts of his life."
