PORTSMOUTH. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1832.

"PORTSMOUTH AWAKE, AND ERECT. THE ELECTION IN PORTSMOUTH."

A new proof is afforded by the result of the Presidential Election in this town, that "OLD STRAWBERRY BANK NEVER REFUSES A LIBERAL DISCOUNT TO THE COUNTRY IN CASE OF EMERGENCY." "In times that try men's souls," this ancient DEMOCRATIC TOWN has ever been ready to lend a helping hand to sustain old fashioned DEMOCRACY. It assisted to put down the dynasty of John the first, and sustain the new era of politics, so successfully established and pursued under the administration of Jefferson. It gave its ardent support to government, through the Embargo, Non-Intercourse, and War. It was among the foremost in opposing the misrule of the coalition under John the 2d, and in 1828 WAS THE ONLY SEAPORT IN THE FIVE EASTERN STATES, OF ANY NOTE, THAT GAVE ANDREW JACKSON A MAJORITY OF VOTES FOR PRESIDENT. And though the State of New-Hampshire was then unsuccessful in obtaining a majority of votes for Jackson Electors, PORTSMOUTH did her part towards the second political revolution, which, happily for Democracy, was brought about by the election of Jackson, and now in defiance of an out-facing, brow-beating monied ARISTOCRACY, has Old STRAWBERRY BANK, by a union of effort with the Democracy of the country, made a run upon the Bank of the United States, that political engine which assumes the power of putting down and putting up Presidents, which we trust will finally send it to the tomb of the Capulets.

In fine, PORTSMOUTH, which gave Jackson a majority of 79 votes in 1828, has now given the increased majority of 124 in favor of the SECOND SAVIOUR OF HIS COUNTRY.

The election of Daniel P. Drown, Esq. for Moderator, was peculiarly gratifying to the old friends of Democracy, and operated like a "wet blanket" on the ardor of the "Nationals." At the last Spring election, they had seized on some local disaffection in the Democratic ranks, and formed such a temporary coalition, as, by a majority of six votes, to remove him from the office of Town Clerk, and they now calculated much on the strength of this disaffection, to defeat our choice of Moderator; but it availed them nothing: the Democrats joined in sustaining their old fast friend, and Mr. Drown was elected by a majority of eighty votes. The following is the result of the election in this town:

NEW-HAMPSHIRE ELECTION.

Seldom have the federal party made greater exertions, or appeared to feel more confident of success, than at the late election. The State has been literally inundated with their political pamphlets and extras. Circu lars were sent to every town, village, and every school district in the State, by a junto of little great men at Portsmouth, who really seemed to think they were to be the instruments, under the auspices of Mr. Biddle and Mr. Mason, to pull down Jackson and revolutionize New-Hampshire: and had already, in imagination, elected themselves members of the next Congress! But all has turned out as we expected. We smiled at the castles they were building in the air, and told them they were unequal to the task they had undertaken. But no. "New-Hampshire was Anti-Jackson; in 1828, it gave a majority of 3400 for Adams, and so it must be now," said they "if we only make the effort." Well, they have made the effort; they exerted themselves to the utmost; strained every nerve; called upon all the apostate democrats, from the little personal pronoun I, down to the knight of the gallipots and pestle, vender of jalaps and extra Telegraphs; called upon "Jack Jaw-me-down" the "old Soger," who "fought, bled, and died three times" to make a caucus speech, and the Twice-Told old apostate, Bill Plumer, to write another letter, neither of whom has any more political influence in this State, than an old woman. All this has been done without avail; they are defeated, "horse, foot and dragoons," by a majority of nearly six thousand. We hope they have now learned a lesson, that the people must rule, and that they will sit down peaceably, with the old and long established axiom for their motto, VOX POPULI, VOX DEI.

Their efforts however, had a good effect upon the State, they aroused the Democracy of the State to action, and have enabled us to show a greater majority for Jackson, than we probably should otherwise have obtained. Hence the result of the Election affords the stronger proof of the attachment of the people to the President, and the measures of his administration.

OLD HAMPTON REGENERATED.

The following communication, received from an old Democratic friend at Hampton, we insert with the greater pleasure, as that town has heretofore, and we believe uniformly, given a large federal majority:-

HAMPTON, NOV. 6, 1832.

Mr. Beck, Sir—Our election is just over, and the result shows, that Democracy has tri umphed over Aristocracy, and Republicanism over Federalism. Pamphlets, handbills, and daily extras, were gratuitously distributed in the streets, and at the stores, for weeks before the election, from the federal presses in Portsmouth and Exeter, and no doubt, they were printed and sent at the expense of the Branch Bank in Portsmouth. But all would not answer their purpose. Contrary to the wish of the Federalists, the Republicans were just odd enough to do as they pleased; and they were pleased to vote for Andrew Jackson for their President; because they say, that farmers, mechanics and fishermen's prospects, are at least 50 per cent better, than under Mr. Adams' Administration; and that the same party who supported Mr. Adams, are now opposing Andrew Jackson the second apostle of Liberty. The following will show the state of the vote in this town.

For Moderator, Capt. Aaron Coffin, the Republican candidate, received 98 votes Jonathan Towle, Federal candidate 89 The Republican ticket for Electors 101 Federal ticket 94

Thus far we have the satisfaction to say, that we have done our duty to ourselves, and to our Republican friends abroad, in aiding
