Extract of a letter from Concord, (N. H.) June 14, 1808.
"We this day took the Yeas and Nays on the Address to the President of the U. States. In this Address the embargo was clearly approved. It was opposed by Messrs. Upham of Claremont, and Thompson, of Salisbury, and advocated by Mr. Evans of Portsmouth, and others. In the House, Yeas 94—Nays 63. In the Senate, Yeas 8—Nays 2. We have passed a law for choosing the Electors in our usual mode by a general ticket; we have made our arrangements for carrying it into effect, so as to ensure the choice of Republicans; and you may rely on it, that New Hampshire will not be caught by federal tricks, nor intimidated by federal bullying."
