From the Dostoa KW HAMPBHIEB THZ TiaST OU'. Behold how brightly breaks the morning of this year's elections in the a at ult in thi Utahitk State! The returns are of an exceedingly favorable character, showing that the sterling democracy oi that State have appreciated their position, their duties to their, friends elsewhere, their own self-respect, and, above 'all, what a devotion to the cause of the uon stitution and the Union required. It Was a most etllunt strucele. Inere was a complete coalition to right againat.

The great prize to spur on the abolitionists was the re-election of John P. Hale "undoubtedly," said the Commonwealth here, "this wouid follow," and all else to these worthies was but leather and pru nell t. The great prize to spur ooj the whigs was the State spoilt the luxury of beating the tiiiterrified democracy and for tins they ten the questions as to the Compromise, the Constitution, the Union to thin for themselves, which, all at once, sunk down to minor issues. It was just so" (says Harry Hibbard inliis cap. Hal letter) "in 1846, when orricts, Stats ard rational, wcrc barterxd ard sold likk 3sercbardise 1h til market." This was to-day the same thing over again.

The coalition between the whigs and abolilionits was complete, and wherever there was an opening there was regular bargain. Here the universal whig party looked on in complacency, and they aaid Noah Martin was just the man to be beaten. Well, tho noble boys ef the Granite Slate have met the piebald combination single-handed, and have routed them bravely and well. Our figures- we take them from the Atlai will give the result, martin is eieciea governor ty (he The democracy have the legislature: they will hare the United States senator they will district the State for Congress and, what is better than all, the whole has been done in open, fair, frank, and manly fight. They plan ted themselves on the old-fashioned dem ocrats platform exactly such a platform as the next President of thee United States will stand on; and thus, without dodging the question, with heads up and bunners having on them fidelity to the Constitution and the Union hanging on the outer wall, they' went into the battle and eame out victorious.

This is more than an ordinary victory worth more than a common shout. It is the openiag scene of the great presidential drama. To New Hampshire it fell to set in motion the democratio ball and hence all eyes were upon her, to see whether the bold, unparallieled movement of 1851 tho tmto-tie, At-wood process would be sustained by! the people in 1852, or whether it would we cannot doubt his success, A good house of this kind has long been needed in thli city.
