similarity of the hand writing), that the}
were from Mr. limuu‘ himsvlf, But thr- ti~
dings of (Irv/(It in its most horrible hum,
quickly dissipated the pleasurable flu-ling.
wehsd expected to entertain in the porn
sal of letters from one for whom we enter
taincd the highest confidence and regard.
As stated last week, he died on the Ist
of August, at the residence of his father,
’l‘nouAs BERRY, Esq, Greenland, X. H.,
in the 29th year of his age, of that most
terrible disease, the black small pox, The
disease was contracted in the ears, whilst
on his way from Portsmouth to Greenland,
by an unfortunate collision with a person
infected, Death accomplished its work
with rapidity, and the same house in which
light dawned upon his existence, darkened
upon him the shadow and 'windows 0
death. The family circle and aged parents,
for whom he had so much esteem and at
fectjon,‘ and from whom he hadbceu sepa
rated for years by a continent between tw
oceans, had at least the consolation of th
reflection that he died in the land of hi
fathers, and that his ashes are deposited in
his family tomb.

In December last a business connection w
formed between us, for which we had hop
a more enduring continuance.
The object of his visit to the scenes o
h early childhood was of threefold char
actor. . First—to perform the last duty 0
filial devotion to his aged parents, who, h
was aware, were rapidly declining—“pa
in; away to the land of the leul "—to so
(small, perhaps forever, to his famil
sanctions, and to give ah honest partin
hand totha frisndsof other years. But,
alas l those parents, and that family circle
Isms called upon to close his eyes in death
That same parenta‘i‘hand that taught hi
how!- incl at the family altar, held at
night the candle, whilst his brothers con
signed the mortal part of Alfred to its las
resting plane. That old man’s voice, the
fishionsd his son’s mind to repeat in dsv
tion the words—“ Our Father who art i
Hansenfiktu , on that melancholy night
might have been heard to say, could h
thought have been divined, ‘ The will a
tho Load is accomplished—so mote it be."
:.l'ha second object of the visit of Mr
Blur to the cast, was for the purpose 0
replenishing the oflcs with new and uddi
tint-l materials, the better to execute
within the Territory, the legislstive print
in; g which duty we infer he had‘pcrfor
111 pylons to his death, and that his pnr
chases are now probably on their way her-oi

‘thirdsut' the llil‘llilwl": comprising it. it
war; adopted blindly, without reference to
its contents, and the address declared that
the "hips nominated by theta, “ they had
good reason to believe, would, if elected,
faithfully represent their principles." No
umlerstundite.r there?
What was the reason wily from both
whig and democratic parties, the candi
dates for legisléltive and county favors,
were not chosen equally? The answer is
given in their address as follows:
“ That we have seleetcd more candidates fr-nn the
Whia than from the Democratic ticket, was owing to
the tart that principles and nut tarty preferences reg
ulated the elmiee. t'nuid a aufileient number ut'relia
lulu» men have been fuund. our Meleetlnnut this late
periud of the canvass would have been made evpmlly
tvum lmth."
Another reason might be found in the
fact that it was well known that'thc demo
cratie party in this county as well as
throughout the Union, would never join
hands with dis unionists in treasonable de
signs against. the, government ; that the
“fag ends" of all “ isms ” naturally sought
alodgement in the ranks of federal whyge
ry, and thus it was that the abolitionistsiu
this county kept aloof from endeavoring to
to drive a trade, or from an allianco with
our party.
Unless further assured, weshali not as
sume that the whig unulirlutta eonnived at
the union of their forces with the aboii-t
tiouists. Although if necessary, we are‘
enabled to furnish strong presumptive cvi-i
deuce of that fact. ‘
One thing is certain. The abolition con-l
vention nominated, Messrs. Hale and llcw-i
in as their eondidatcs, because as was “'l
lsertcd, they entertained the same views,‘
and would‘proniotc the same object, as far:
as possible, with regard to the sinvcrly,
(Ines-lion, as was entertained by them. Did‘
Messrs. Huh and licwitt subscribe to the:
doctrine of the Pittsburgh platform, audi
enter into bonds with the abolitionists,
according to the times of- their address,
and the letter of Mr. James, antagonistic,
to the fugitive slave law—the rcpca of the:
Missouri Compromise—and the setting}
apart of a certain portion of the Territory
0 the United States, for the use of the
African race within our territory, and those
who should nrfll to curry dnongu “owl
If the above were not the views of
Messrs. Halo and Hewitt, the abolition
convention were premature, to any the least,
in the selection of their candidates for rcp
rcaentativu. If those gentlemen actual y
entertained views in consonaucc with the
doctrines which the abolition party ad
vanced, they have been false to the phrty
which an‘giaally nominated them, and
fraudulent in their endeavours to whcodie‘
the unsuspecting into their mgport.
But says Judge Hays :—" here was nol
such party existing at the time the whlgs,
hold their convention,“ either abolitioniltl,
or ace sailors." The abolition and freel
soil party then, had its origin since thacou
vening of the whig convention for Thurs.
ton county] lluw consistent in history?
and how we are enlightened by this modern
information i ~
For the present, we will cioao our com
ments u far as the whig and abolition party
is concerned, in connection with the com
munication of Judge Hays, by remarking
that we firmly believe that an understand
ing was had between the whip and aboli
tion parties ; that Messrs. Ila o & Hewitt
(we will not say with their connivaace,)
were fixed upon an the Joint candidates of
those” two parties; that it was supposed
that the personal popularity of J ndgo ays
would secure his election, though a system
of “budmdackiag,” independent of the
support of the almiitionists. Mr. Bilea was
intended to ho ridinizcd, in view of the
fact that the democracy was destined to
elect at least one of the candidates for the
legislatnra. ,
We have not nor do not charge any of
the opposition candidates wit , an 01>
jcct o forming an abdlition relationship,
but leave facts as are capable of being pre
sented, for the consideration of a thinking
üblie. ,
p It is alleged by Judge Hays, that Mr.
(‘unhman was nominated as a candidate
for Probate Judge by the Free Soil convt
. vcntion. Judge Cnahman publicly informed
{the people, that although he di not wish
’to deprive the citizens of the county thcl
, dens-ire it might niford them to vote for‘
dim—nevertheless, he could recognize not
[other nomination than that of the Demo-
R‘ratie party. .
i In the foregoing we have scarcely probed
:the communication of Judge Hays at all.
IWe are in readiness at any time to show
’thc utter fallicy of his position. as con
ltaincd in his communication of last week.
. In conclusion, we invite attention of the
reader to a perusal of the following resolu-
Ytions, adopted by the “hard-shell" conven
ltion of the State of New Yon-I, on which
loeeasion Judge Bronson was nnamimouo‘
iiy nominated as the democratic candidate
for Gov. of that State, in which the doc-i
