New Hampshire Statesman And Concord Register

LANGDON.

" Both of them (the Statesman & Register, and
the N. H. Journal) have received their instruc-
tions from Washington--to defeat, if possible, the
election of the Republican candidate for Senator
in District No. 4."-N. H. Patriot.

Indeed! Is Mr Hill's election regarded
with so much interest at Washington? I
his name ringing and resounding from the
walls of the Capitol, "familiar in their
mouths as household words?" Then it be-
hooves the friends of the Administration
to be on the alert, and prevent the occur-
rence of an event so much deprecated as
Mr Hill's election to the Senate from Dis-
trict No. 4. " We thank thee, Jew, for
teaching us that word." The good peo-
ple of our District will not forget this in-
formation at the Polls on Tuesday, If it
is an object with the Administration to
take measures to prevent Mr Hill's election
--there is at least a-corresponding exer-
tion on the part of the Opposition to secure
it. Let the Senatorial vote then, on Tues-
day, say which is yet in the ascendant--
THE ADMINISTRATION OR THE OP.
POSITION

The Communication of " Grafton County," in
our columns of to-day, developes a "combination"
scheme for efecting the election of Mr Cartland
to Congress-a seheme which is probably not
confined in its operation to this gentleman. The
friends of the Hon. Nehemiah Eastman are on
the alert-and are very busy in the circulation of
votes, pamphlets, and newspaper publications.
Accompanying the last Patriot is an Address in
behalf of Mr Eastman--fraught with some as-
tounding declarations, duly certified--and caleu-
lated for efect just on the eve of the election.
From the secrecy with which the Address was
issued from the Patriot Office, and the timeing of
it so late as to preclude a reply-the public may
very well judge that even the writer himself did
not deem the facts, therein stated, altogether in-
controvertible. This is further evident from a
communication, favoring Mr Eastman's election,
in the last Newport Spectator-which was ac-
companied by the following very singular note
from the writer. intended exclusively for the Ed-
itor's eye--but which Mr Barton has very hon-
estly seen fit to give to the public.

" Mr Barton-Will you insert the above in
your valuable paper, in the No. which will issue
the week before election ? If you think proper
to strike out any part, or add, you are at liberty,
but insert it, and send four of the papers to Far-
mington, N. H. directed to P. Q. and you shall
receive a present from an unknown hand."[! ]

For the Statesman & Register.
Mr Editor-

To the specimens of the political con-
sistency and candor of the Editor of the
Patriot, which you published last week,
please to add a few portraits which exhib-
it him in the character of a base and scan-
dalous calumniator. It has so long been
his habit to abuse all independent public
men that it has become with him second
nature. His pen is always dipped in gall.
He is guilty in these instances either of
unblushing falsehood and deceit in the
first column, or of falsehood and base
slander in the second. He may choose
either horn of the dilemma. Either will
push him to the wall. One further re-
mark suggests itself: What shall we think
of the political purity of the party, whose
leading men are painted by the leader of
the party in the colors bestowed upon
some of the Honorables, in the following
extracts ? It is very manifestly the de-
termination of Isaac Hill to sell the votes
of this State to General Jackson, and un-
less all good and true men awake and
unite he will do it. He is ever on the al-
ert, with a mind that never tires, with a
flood of obloquy that any man would shud-
der to meet, ready to pour upon his oppo-
sers, and a political consistency that stops
at nothing that misrepresentation, or even
self-contradiction, can effect. If the peo-
ple of this State believe that there is no
salvation but in Isaac Hill, we are then
chained to the ear of Jackson, and must,
with the mad-cap Troup, take up arms
against the government of the nation.

I have not time to dwell upon these
portraits, and exhibit them in their proper
light. They offer much matter for com-
ment, but the plain common sense of your
readers will see that opinions reversed in
the short space of three months or even
three weeks, cannot have been made up in
fairness and candor, or the reversal must
have proceeded from something besides
the conviction of error. But it is vain to
look for reason in this quarter; his own
ends alone are to be answered. I have
only to ask the good yeomanry of New-
Hampshire, whether they are prepared.at
the dictation of this man, who has grown
great by their patronage, and now is pre-
paring to rule them with a rod of iron, to
give up to obloquy and disgrace, their
faithful and able representatives, Bell,
Bartlett, Whipple, &c. Bell has already
been openly proscribed, and Whipple is
slily put under the ban-he is to be voted
out, and the reason alleged is that he has
served six years ; but the true reason is
that he supports the Administration. Bart-
lett is waiting his turn and will soon fur-
nish a new picture for this political gal-
ler y.

PORTRAITS,

[Painted by the Hon. I. ]

So long as thou wilt acknowledge my right to
rule, I will paint thee agreeable colors, but
when thou rebellest, I will blacken thee, distort
thy features, and render thee as odious as a
witch."-SHAKSPEARE-paraphrased.
