Mayor Putnam's Acceptance.

We have his letter before US. There are some
queer things in it, at which he smiled as be
wrote. Note this sentence:
"If elected, the triumph will be that of
Just principle in municipal affairs"
We would have preferred an explation of the
Gust principle" Is it economy? How that
"hope has been protested to the life and broken
to the heart" Obi economy! how many enor-
mites are perpetrated in thy name!
In this clause he sees shadow, that like the
ghost of Banquo, has haunted him for the last
seven days:
Defeated, it will be with the belief that the
battle for the same principle will yet hereafter
be fought by some more successful champion. .
Vain belief! No champion will ever rise to
fight that battle successfully. The Goliath
that should spring forth on that mission would
go down under the sling of some youthful Da.
vid Tor Benjamin) with SO deadly a fall as to
break every bone in his body.
No, no, Mr.. Mayor. Do not tlatter yourself
nor those skilful engineers of the Citizen
Meeting, that your defeat is to be temporary
The mis1eeds men do, will in this case, livs
long after old age has crept on them: and boys
who are now looking with interest on this con
test, will, in the prime of life, point to some o
the actors in these transactions as they totte

Three Political Acts.

"a Democrat who voted for Putnam last
year," sends us communication citing as in
stances of Mayor Putnam's political dishon-
esty, the fact that he vetoed an order to nav
poor colored man 70 years of age $500 for
land taken to widen Federal street, even after
it had been fully discussed in the City Coun-
Gil and had passed through both branches !;
while he unhesitating;y drew an order to pay
Sewall G. Strout $500 for legal services-esti.
mated by lawyers of his own party at 500
as counsel in adjusting the claim of a woman
against the city for personal injuries received
by falling into Dutch Gap.
The third unjust and injurious act was his
official endorsement of tue scheme of the
owners of foreign steamships in this city to
abate the "head money" on immigrants one
half; or 81 each, thus putting abort $1,000 per
year into the pockets of the steamship COM
panfes, and reducing the resources OF the Poor
Fund to that amount annually; and this af.
ter the petitioners declared that it was no part
OF their purpose to reduce the fare of passen-
gers to corresponding amount; and also in
the face of protest signed by eleren of the
twelve Overseers of the Poor.

They Cannot be saved.

The Democracy, in view of the past pro.
LESSONS and position and the triumph of Re-
publican principles, are fast falling to pieces.
Old, decrepit, false and care worn, they seize
hold OF anything to make crutch of. and
whether it be "citizens' meeting" or some
thing else, as in Portland, or Labor Reform"
or Temperance" as in New Hampshire, they
will fall to the ground. What Republican in
the city of Portland desires to prop up this
monster of former mischief-this old skeleton
now wrapped up in deceitful garb? Re-
hecting Republicans, 60 to the polls and an
swer to-day. Let there go forth no uncertain
sound, but with one voice let the city of Port
land sustain the noble administration of
General Grant
The Portland daily press., 1870-03-07
A Message from President Grant
to the Republicans of Portland.

Representative Dawes of Massachusetts, has
been making earnest and able speeches to the
Republicans of the Granite State. He shows
conclusively that the first year of General
Grants administration has cost the country
sixty millions of dollars less than the last
year of Johnson's administration. This dis
tinguished member of Congress who has been
the very foremost man to condemn and head
OF extravagant estimates tells us that there is
an earnest and conscientious effort in all the
various departments of Government to curtail
by the rules Of the strictest economy. In this
connection Mr.. Dawes said to the Republi-
cans of the city of Nashua
was charged yesterday afternoon by the
President himself with this message to the
people OF New Hampshire. Loud applause)
When told him was coming here, he told
me to assure the people of New Hampshire
that this exhibit have made here OF the sue
cessful collection and the economical exne,,.
diture of money during the present year is an
earnest and pledge of what it shall be in
l ane year to come. lDeafening applause. J
Tell the people of New Hampshire" he said.
mat during my administration there shall
pe no ascending scale of public expenditures,
N. n6 "PP'duocD uuC wherever and when
over the closest scrutiny shall disclose the
possibility of cutting off dollar it shall be
DONE" Loud applause.)
And was this message intended exclusively
for the Republicans of New Hampshire? Is the
entire object gained if New Hampshire alone
endorses the acts and purposes of our dis.
tinguished leader? No! These statements
and promises excite the enthusiasm and draw
together in close column our politica
friends and neighbors. These same promise!
are also made to the Republicans of Port
land, and with equal proprety and justice il
is our conscientious duty to stand by thu
nag, ana thereby lot 1T -bo-publishea- t.

tne matter OF Citizens Nominations was dis

carry the scheme into effect by pressing citi-
Gems tickets at all important points where the
Democracy is in the minority. The thing has
been done in Portland, and is threatened at

Where are the Democratic Alder
men?

There were four Democratic Aldermen elect
ed last spring; nominated as such, elected as
such, acting under no other guise. They vot-
ed to waste the public land at low figure; to
assault the sinking fund, and to perform other
political atrocities at which the people were
highly indignant. Where are they now? Only
one of them has been renominated! After the
fires are raked up on Friday night-speeches
are made consolatory to the Mayor in his defeat,
and themselves in their Retirement the cur
tain will be rung down, and the places that
have known three of them in the Aldermen's
room will know them no more, forever!-
