POLITICAL.


We published on Tuesday some extracts
from two New Hampshire papers. setting forth
the views expressed by General Pierce al a
certain meeting in New Boston. New Hamp-
slfire-the Manchester Democrat and the Con-
cord Democrat. We relied on the authority.
not~ ithsianding it is purely Democratic. We
presume that the two Democrat in question
are now sustaining General Pierce for the Pre-
sidency nth that ''perfect gush ofen'husiasm. :"
which is said to have marked the Democratic
proceedings at the Baltimore Convention
We presume that the Manchester Demncra,
and the Concord Democrat are now working
in the same ranks with the Democratic EVEN
ing Post Of New York and the Democratic At
las of Albany. Our assumption rests on the
repeated asseveraliens of the Union that there
is e. feet harmony in the Democratic party in
favor of Mr.. Pierce lfthis is the case. it does
not intend to exclude the New Hampshire De.
mocrars from the enjoyment ofthis unparalleled
harmony and universal "gush Of enthusiasm"
But the Union assails its Democratic friends
Of Concord and Ma, c. ester in language which
we should n Yer think ofaprlyng TO our mos,
bitter pol''ical opponents. he Union knows
more about ITS own brethren than We can pre-
tend to know. We have never mixed in such
company. The Union denounces its brother
Democrats as The editors off,, h ,meless sheets"
as "Aboliti"nsts Of the vilest stamp" as in the
last degrre unworthy and vile" as 1.-The worst
jackals even of the patty of .jackals;" as ''out-
laweJ knayes." Ii AYERS, On the authority OF
"rhe most respectable men in Ne" Hamp
shire" that the character for truth and ,erac-
ly" Of these twin Democrats cited by the Re-
public is infamous" 1t denouuces its allies
in the cause cf Pierce as .'dishonored and t, ca
sonabIe
We know nothing of all this These
men may he as bad as their ally uf the Union
describes them TO be, notw ithsia ntirg they
claim to lie Democrats, and are expected To
go the " hole figure for the Democratic ticket
at the conng cleciion.
So much for The Concord Democrat and the
Msoc ester Democrat. Now one word as to
the statement Of these journals. The Union
says:
THAT it is fal-efalsc in tho ssuera!-fse III the de-
at-taise IL every aspect in which BE- discus cd
false trem tn" beginning the ,no gwr have tie
trity ri those who know Gnr raj Pierce personally fpr
Saying; who knew Oft speech here al!uded and who
declare thai su,h lansuase that attributed to him
ever Tell iiu his lips at time ocrninn from
his first entrance into public life down this Lpur."
No" TIN, is pretty strong language for one
Democrat 10 apply tn statement of two othe
Dem"rr"ts-a,.d New Hampshire Democrats
al that. In the teeth of this Coz tradicti.r; we
believe that these ..outlaw ed knaves"-thesc
unworthy and vile" Dtmocrats-have spoken
the truth, and hard words will not disturb on
belief in their erments. They may be as bad
as their political brethren represent but We
iee,e them, because at the time in ,lne ,lion
they had 40 motive to mi>reprcsent Mr. Pie ce,
far We can learn. Al all events. they
have II" motive to misrcp eseni him now, wien
all the Democrats. including the Van Barrns,
Dixcs, Buffers, Floyds. Preston Kings. Mo-
ltnys, Camplells. Rantouis. and Atwoods,
have been re, eived into full Democratic com
nunion, and are claimed to he working togelh-
er 10 elect PIERCE ith perfect "gu,h of en-
Ihlsiasm.'
Now. what will the New Hampshire De
mocrals sal, Will they confess themselves to
be the lying knaves they described ly the
Unionl Dad they, in January last. do Mr..
Pierce the injustice " hich is attributed to them
by the Un;onl Let item answer and settle the
| account with their fiienls of the Union. This
IS a family quarrel. and can only be settled in
h. farIy.- WASH. Rppub.
