,i\cw Hampshire Sound! In our last weck's.'.issuc vfc gave tlie first returns of the. election .from Hampshire, to the- effect .that she had gone Republican. Subsequent' despatches have confirmed the information and given the majority about as usual, three thousand. By common consent,the eJection in that State was conceded to" be ol' the utmost importance as a test 'ot ground-swells in favor .of policy.:* The field v.*as fully ci}i?va?sccT by both parlies, the Democrats. nmkiug an especial effort to carry the State by furnishing materials both of men and money 1 with a recklesness amounting almost to. despair. It will be remembered, that Gen. Sickles was there wielding sturdy, blows against the

vbo^us

when •"iris Aecidency" pcfeiriptbrily: ordered him to his reginvont. ,But notwithstanding the exertions and trickery of Democracy, Andrew Johnson and the numerous place-men of the President, New Hampshire re'niaiiicd steadfast' and rolled up her usual KaciicaL niujori... ty. The first gun of the campaign has been heard, the key note of 186S struck, and Republicans everywhere have-cause to feel proud of the result There need now be no hesitation, no bolting, no doubting, but with the bright and encouraging example of New Hampshire,

Friday of last week was the day.upon which the 'President^Vwis •summoned• to answer the articles of impeaehine'iit, at the bar of the Senate. It was. thbuglit he would answer .in person, .but failing to do so, was represented dty Mi'.

A strong eflbrtwias made by thei pi-es-ident's counsel to get a continuance of forty daj's, to prepare his defense and secure witnesses from a d^stJince". The Senate granted a coiitinuanoe .until .the 23d* deeming any further time only an unnecessary delay*.' In this the ^Senate was right.

In anticipation of the rebellion, Gen. Wallace tendered his services to. tlie Governor of Indiana, and on the'day after the fall of Sumpter ho received a despatch from Gov. Moktojc calling him to the capital. Some of on nejgUbor.? in Clinton c.q^uty will remember that the dispatch came to him while trying a case in the. Circuit Court of their county, and that without waiting to finish'it, like Putnam of revolutiona-' ry fame, he mounted a h6rse and at once set out for' the nearest railroad station in jmsyr.CE ,to the summons. From that time to the .end of the war, his history is well known riot only to the people of this Distridt, "but to the people of the State and country at large.

The. result of the New Iljimshjre election has an influence out of all proportion to the relative importance'of that State in the politics of the country.

Bo wen* is enterprising. He gi\'6S his Democratic readers the very latest news —soiiictiiiies. Last week the full returns of the election in Ncav Iljimpshire were received in ample time to have given them to his readers, -and we have no doubt he would if the State had gone the other wtiy. That's what ailed BoAAren. The Democi'ac}r have been counting New Hampshire on their "Democratic Pyramid," and they are-very much afraid flint. lIiojv tvlll lo ltiaor»lr.ocl into pie if the example of that State is followed. We are sony for .you, Bowen, but can't help it you don't deserve any better, but try and figure up the Radical majority in that State and let your readers have it.

Johnson can resign and thus stop the impeachment proceeding. If he sho'd tender his resignation we hope no .objection will be offered against its acceptance. Should he be removed from office by.the Senate, the judgement ma}'extend so far as to disqualify him from ever hereafter holding office nnder.the Government of the United States. That we wish to .see avoided, as the gratitude of the Consti-tution-shrieking Democracy would impel them to make him their candidate for President if he remjiined eligibler and it

be cri?el -to deprive them of the privilege of voting for him. Since Sey7 mour has knocked Pendleton out of, the ring there seems no-one capable of contestiiig Uie ,field, -with Andy, prpvided.he can escape a sentence of disqualification.—Ind. J&urnal. .')Uf •—1

Examiner, oh Americanpolitics, thuS 'refers to General Grant The course of events seems still to point to the Presb dency of General Grant.

His magnanimity and chivalry in dealing with liis enemies are a pledge that he would be the tool of. no vindictive! policy^ while the party for- which lie conquered have little "reasons tO' fear that the victorious' General will be false to his own laurels. It would be a happy thing indeed for the nation if he could be raised to power not as the mere chfrdi date of a party, by a really national vtrte?
