Freemen of New-Hampshire,

To-morrow you will be called upon to discharge a duty incumbent upon all as the guardians of our republican institutions. Your authority is to be delegated to those, whose principles, talents and integrity point them out as the most worthy of your confidence. The office of Chief Magistrate is the first in consequence, that demands your attention; let it be filled by one, who has been devoted to your interests, whose character and morals are worthy of imitation, and whose information and political knowledge are general and extensive, and not confined to any particular section of the state.--Let such be the man, whom it shall be your delight to honor. Next in importance to the Magistracy are the County offices; these too are to be filled with individuals selected with great care as men, who are to have a share in the counsels of our state; how necessary then that they should be worthy of your trust. Be not therefore influenced in your choice by private views, but act with a single eye to the public good. Next to these are our Representatives, who are to represent in the state Legislature the various interests of their constituents; elect then such men as are acquainted with those interests, and who have talents and abilities to make them known.

The public are perhaps by this time convinced, that Gov. Woodbury has made no league with Mr. Hill. The enemies of our present administration were aware, that such a report would create a prejudice unfavorable to his re-election--they therefore asserted for truth that, which was wholly improbable in itself, and which has now proved false beyond a doubt. Let any one look at the last "Patriot," and read a small portion of its contents, and he will be convinced, that its editor, so far from being "conciliated," is still the self-same enemy that he ever has been. He tells you that he should not have come out in the support of Dr. Morril, had not the Doctor's character been attacked. How does this appear? What has been his past conduct? Has he ever been the ready and willing supporter of character, only when it served to answer his own political object? How has he conducted in this particular towards our present Governor? Has he not seen his character scandalized for months-has he not heard the most unjust and cruel reports circulated against him in every part of the state? But he has let them all pass without any contradiction on his part; and why? Because the Governor had not bowed the knee to Baal and put himself under his control. But when his cousin Morril is mentioned, mark then his movement, see his readiness to let fly a thunderbolt in his defence. What does all this prove? Does it not show that some of the people have been deceived by the false statements, that have appeared from time to time in the "Statesman"? It proves conclusively, that a "league" has been made with Dr. Morril, and not with the Governor-elect D. L. Morril and Isaac Hill is again Dictator-Crawford President! But support the present Governor, and depend upon it, Mr. Hill's influence is confined to his own village-his press disturbs no more the public peace he is silent perhaps forever-he
is left only to write an epitaph for his own political tomb-stone. He has been taught one lesson, let that lesson be repeated, the public good again requires it. Mr. Hill has now sprung the snare, which he had long since set for the "Statesman" and its editor, and is endeavoring to slip the noose over the heads, and fasten it on the necks of the people. But our citizens are determined, we trust, not to suffer this "hungry swarm to succeed" and to satiate itself upon public preferment. They will not therefore support Dr. Morril for the next election, but the man who has supported their rights, and whose political integrity has created enemies alike to himself and to the state.

Suspicions were entertained, that Dr. Morril, while in Congress, had taken too much fees for travel, in consequence of which, inquiries were made, and the fact ascertained, "which may be relied on as authentic."

"The amount of travel given in by Dr. Morril, while a Senator in Congress, viz.
Paid for 1130 miles Post Road 998 miles Excess 132 miles for one session, and For six sessions 792 miles.

Allowing $8, for each 20 miles (which is the sum fixed on by Congress) the amount over-paid will be $316 80," which sum the Hon. D. L. Morril has taken from the hard earnings of the people, and until refunded, whether taken by design or mistake, the people will feel disposed to give him No More of their money.

We are requested to mention, that at a meeting of Republican citizens of this town, held on Saturday evening, the following gentlemen were nominated as the Republican candidates for Representatives of this town, to the next General Court, viz:

DANIEL P. DROWN,
ABNER GREENLEAF,
ESTWICKE EVANS,
JOHN N. SHERBURNE,
SAMUEL E. COUES.
