PORTSMOUTH, Aug. 28.
The station at the head of our Superior-Court, the dignity with which he has presided there, and the many proofs of real learning and abilities, which our worthy citizen, The Hon. Samuel Livermore, Esq. has for many years exhibited, through the late contest with Great-Britain, both in the legislature of the State and great Congress of America, present him to his countrymen as worthy a station in the new government. It will be no disparagement to many valuable characters there, to say that none excelled this deserving man, in the late Convention of this State, in zeal, arguments and influence, to lead to its adoption, which caused such general joy, through the Continent.
His line of life has furnished him with every requisite to fit him for the science of legislation, whereby he will afford much benefit to the community and honor to the States. should he be distinguished in the expected election, as one of the Senate of the new government.
