THE MAINE ELECTION.

Our neighbor of the Courier in his
issue of the 18th publishes a dispatch
from the Enquirer of the 18th giving
the majority in Maine for the Repub-
licans at $4,000, and then figures up a
loss of $4,000, by going back to 1866
We now propose to adopt the strategy
of our neighbor and 'go back" on
figures, the result of which is as fol-
lows: President Polk, in 1874, car
ried Maine by lI,341. The Republi
can majority in Maine, this year will
be over $1,000, (not $4,000 as oul
neighbor of the Courier would have III
believe,) and consequently our gan
since 1874 is over $4,000. How
does our neighbor like the exhibit +:
Brick Pomeroy, will more honesty
and fairness than our neighbor thus
solilequizes on the news from Maine
1.-The State election in Maine has
been held-the smoke has lifted-the
Republicans have over 10000 maJori'
w. We are defeated there and do
not like it. We met the enemy IN
Maine and are theirs They whipped
,ls there worse than we supposed they
would or could, and it hurts. Duty
to our readers desire to speak truth
makes us admit a defeat there--a
stronger Republican vote than we
looked for. We did not expect to
carry the State nor to make heavy
gains there. Some editors have brag.
ged on the great prospects there, and
told their readers the Democrats were
to carry the State. And now they
tell us we were not worsted IN the
Maine fight (; bit Oc are!

DETAILS OF THE REPUBLICAN VIC
TORY.

SANTA FE, N. NJ, Sept lo.-On the
9TH inst, we held our election for Rep.
resentatives to the Territorial Legisla
ture, Justices of the peace, &c. The
issue was clearly and fairly made, the
Republican party (sometimes known
as the Chaves party, running on the
Chicago platform for Grant and Col
fax; the Copperheads (sometimes
known as the Clever party,) on the
New York platform for Seymour and
Blair. The result in this county is a
majority Of about l4O for the Repub-
lican ticket, which would have been
at least $50 if we could have polled a
full vote. Gov. Mitchell, Designated
Depository Collins, Collector Blum
ner, Indian Agent Quintana, and 9TH
er officials, voted and supported the
Copperhead ticket. Secretary Heath,
Assessor Breeder, and Postmaster
Martin are the only United States
officers who voted with and supported
the Republicans. Last year the vote
for delegate (Chaves and Clever was
4 tie in this county. New Mexico has
about 100000 inhabitants, and will
sre long become State. The Legis,
ature this Winter will be two-thirds
Republicans, and if Republicans in the
East will give us their sympathy and
we will make her thoroughly
Republican, and cast the electoral vote
4 the State of New-Mexico for the
candidate in 1872. y

THE SCHEMES OF FVALLANDIGHAM.

A correspondent in the Cincinnati
Gazette asserts that the Democracy are
colonizing voters in the Third Con
gressional District to defeat that stur-
dy old veteran, General Schenck, and
foist upon the people that thrice, con-
yicted, miserable traitor Vallandis ham.
He says that on the 18th inst, a
dispatch was received by Dir. Craig,
section master on the Dayton &c Mich
igan Railroad, at Wapakoneta, in this
District, nstr,scting him to send oil his
hands to the grassl bank at Dayton.
That a Democratic voter in Butler
county, while under the influence Of
tangle-foot, divulged the fact that ar
rangements had been made to import
voters from Kentucky.
That eighteen voters have gone
from Mercer county into the Third
District within a month.
That men are hired in Mercer, Al
len and Hardin counties, to go to
Montgomery and Butler counties to
work as farm hands.
The above reveals the desperate
straits to which our opponents are
reduced, and the despicable means to
which they will resort to defeat the
will of the people. Now in order to
defeat this neEarious plot we would
advise the following measures:
1. Let oar Republican voters in the
Third District watch every new COM
or carefully and find out at once his
former place of residence.
2. Let our Republican friends in the
different counties of this District have
an eye on these wandering fellows, and
spot them-send lists to Butler and

THE TRUTH FROM A DEMOCRAT.

The Democracy are in the habit OF
calling Gen. Grant a drunkard, and
their papers have given wide publica-
ton to the scandalous and infamous
SANDER. We suppose they will not
dispute the authority of Hon. Geo.
w. Woodward, Democratic Congress-
man from the XIIth (Pa) Congress
ional District, lately re-nominated by
his party, who in a speech at Great
Bend, Susquehanna county, two weeks
ago, said at is said that General
Grant is incorporate. know the
charge to be false. My intimate so
cial and military association with Gen.
Grant through nearly all of his cam
paigns, leads me as an honest man, to
declare that the noble chieftain is not
only innocent of this unjust charge,
but that he is in every respect temper
ate, and in all the walks of lie gen
tleman.''

This gallant old veteran addressed

withstanding the short notice given'
and the fact that the last ten days
have been busy ones for our farmers,
the meeting fully met the expectations
of the most sanguine the
boasted mass meeting of the Democra-
cy, held the previous Wednesday, by
all odds. The meeting was called to
order by appointingT. IL. Taylor, Esq,
as chairman, who introduced Gen.
Moody.
The General made a characteristic
speech, full of fire, energy and patriot
ism. For fully three hours he held
his hearers enchained by his eloquence.
He carried the minds of his audience
back to the commencement OF the
war, painted the valor and sufferlngs
of those who stood up In defence OF
the Government until many of his hear
ers were affected to tears, then turn
ed his attention to those who had

The speech throughout was listened

present, and it no doabt will have a

stated, that in 4 tour of some three
