New Hampshire Statesman

For the N. H. Statesman.

It appears that Mr. Hill is greatly surprised that the editor of the Statesman should make any observation upon the Legislature. One of his correspondents, following his master like a faithful spaniel, says, "It is so nowhat surprising that Mr. Parker should have made so rude and unjust an attack upon the House of Representatives." Mr. Hill quickly sounds his bugle when any thing transpires that is not congenial to his feelings, and which does not tend to build up the faction over which he presides; and his followers immediately catch the sound and join in the chase. At the close of the fall session of 1824, Mr. Hill, without exciting the "surprise" of his adherents, or his sensitive correspondent, commented very freely upon the proceedings of the Legislature, and in terms not the most respectful. He expressed his gladness that it was closed, and lavishly bestowed his reproachful epithets upon its members. With a grave, but hypocritical "visage," he preached about "lobby management," and rang all the changes of which the term is susceptible. But none of those who are now panic struck at the Statesman, were surprised at the slanderous paragraphs and vulgar epithets of the Patriot. The mist of Patriotism was so dense, that nothing appeared rude or unjust which proceeded from "Freedom's Undaunted Advocate."
