Sew Hampshire ihn Uni. The result the New Uar shire will va rion interpreted, (or. like Bible elections will bear many -ustr; tiens, Wo ari disposed coi der that it shows thc radical of tue Demcr-caratic party which we have often spoken, a tiie existence of which is unie able. The feeling toward ti partv, which nairn ailv avow of the war and its anteceden can be changed only by the cte; est nnd most positive evideu ttrat it can bo saiely trusted deal with vigor, sagacity, patriotism with ali the quest to of the hour. Bui instead ot" vealing these dualities, tho Dei ecraiie party has displayed a tot want of them.

It has shown I the organiza.ion ol tire House i continued subserviency to its "masters. By its elections of Se ators, and as New Hampshire, to eonspicoi positions, it has indicated the toi of ir.s preferen ces. I as a ttei ted to cany Ohio and vania upon a platibrm of r. money. It has aimed to help itself by exposing tl offenses for which the Rep ubi eau party is responsible, hilt lias shown no serious, carnes intelligent purpose or capacity reform or progress.

Ic wouh therefore, be soi prising that should be preferred to the part which, whatever its evils, is UJ questionably that which cou mands the sympathy and suppoi of the larger part of the votin population of the the late rebel States. To this must be aided iii conviction that although the publican party can not escap responsibility ibr the char ac te conspicuous positions, the event of the last few months show no only the necessity, but the pm pose, of the control cf the part by those who represent its rea spirit of progress and I is the belief that the plain pre tests anti criticisms of papers upon such scandals as th? whiskey trials, the BSLKXA; disgrace, and the SCHENCK: affair such vigorous denunciations am demands ns those of the Un tor L'-ague Club resolutions in Nev York; the general feeling, which everybody is conscious that the condition of success is loftier tone of political mo ra in administration-it is the be lief that all such signs show health.y Republican revival which still keeps the State New Hampshire rn hands. This we say upon tue presumption that there is some kind oj political sigiiicance in the edee tion. If there is not; if it be. as some of the papers stoutly and with perfect composure assert, mereh a bargain and sale; ii each party, anxious to secure thc first marked success of this year, sent thousands dollars into the State and entered into a rivalry tor the ur chase of votes, the result ol the New Hampshire election shows only that the Republicans spent the most money, aad that American institutions are far gone in utter decaderce and decay.

There is something astonishing in the half-indifferent way in which it was asserted thai tile election was carried by money, and that more dollars would have made the victory Democratic instead of Republican. The composure ihr all. thai thc But it is none ino less au aiie-. iiou thar, government is put at auction. tins shows, iii even other phenol eiioti d' our politics, the inipe? tive iiecessitv ot' a reform ci' tl which makes it vcr while a.

But tho prineipk i ol' low salaries for li i ir ii pub1 ii ollieers is not a sound one. i Dr. Franklin's proposition tua the honor should oe tho rewarc d'or public service was discarded aad most properly, since it wonk 'have made tho go vern in en i a kind ol' plutocracy, the reason ol I the opposing theory should haw i J. mord (dearly apprehended Tile ablest administrative geniu.lit) the iirst cabinet was ol ALKXAxmm but he retired to private hie tint he i might enjoy the income which his talent could readily command, jami that he might not leave his family penniless.
