The latest news from the New Hampshire election, held last Monday, shows that after the most hotly contested canvass ever held in the State, the Republicans were every where victorious, elect ing Governor, Legislature and Council. Particulars next week.
IJOVV'KX
But
doesn't like the Grand Army
of the Republic. That is not very strange to people who read his paper during the war. For once he is consistent. When the first call came for volunteers to fight rebels and traitors, he didn't want any response to be made to the call. His sympathies were all on the other side, and he sincerely hoped his friends would be "let alone."
Avar
agement Union soldiers could get from him or his paper had to be extracted from assurances that "Loyalty would become a stcncli in the nostrils of the people." Jie has never had a kind word or feeling for the boys who wore the blue, and we arc not surprised at the liltliy venom lie is aiming at the survivors of the Union army who have united together in the Grand Army of the Bepublic. He may publish the 1-itli plank in the Democratic platform, declaring that "the nation owes to the surviving soldiers and sailors of the Union the highest meed of praise and gratitude for the great sacrifice they made in the late war," but the articles in his paper defaming them at every opportunity, proclaim that his party speak with lying lips.
BOWEN
don't like the objects of
the order, and says that "recent developments plainly show that it is an armed, mercenary body, controlled by radical politicians to ride themselves into oflice." No man knows better that this statement is false than the man who makes it. It is very easy to indulge in wholesale charges and vague expressions about "recent developments," but difficult to sustain them by facts. But what does this man know about the order or its objects He knows that for four years, while its members were fighting the rebellion, he was villifying and defaming their characters and strengthening the hands of the men they were fighting. lie knows the succcss of the Union soldiers was the complete discomfiture of the party to whom "belonged his besotted body and soul.
He knows the soldiers of the Grand Arm}- have a supreme contempt for the cowardly traitor who refused to fight •'when he could be met like a man, but who sncakingly remained where he co'd occupy himself with villifying and traducing better men's characters.
BOWES*
knows all this, and of course "recent developments" don't suit him. Of the objects of the Grand Army "we need not speak. It needs no defense or eulogy at our hands. Composed as it is of loyal in en who survived the greatest rebellion oh record, banded together as tli cy are for the purpose of cherishing and fostering the recollections of jamp and field, and looking after the wants of the widows and orphans of their comrades who nobly fell in defense of their country, that order is out of the reach of the puny attempts of rebel sympathizers to injure it. Attempts to lower it in the estimation of all good people will only result in giving a deeper, hue of infamy to those who dip their tongues, in the slime of causeless slander. Let such men as the editor of the llcview continue their abuse—it could not receive a better recommendation or a more conclusive proof of its unexceptionable character than the disapproval of such men.

NICHOLSON
was accomplished by in famous lying and other base appliances on the part of the Democratic party, Avhosc intense hatred of soldiers is only equalled by their love of treason. The object of this attack was to divert a part of the soldiers' vote from Mr.

returned from
Washington City 011 last Monday evening, and brought cheering news of the situation at the capitol. He reports Johnson stock a drug upon the market, and the feeling among the Republicans firm. The removal of Johnson he regards as certain to come to pass, and assures us we may rest perfectly easy 011 that point. The time-serving friends of the President arc deserting him daily and he stands without the support of anjrespectablc class of citizens. Surely tiie way of transgressors is hard.— Treason is at length to be made odious, ami one traitor, at least, will soon be assigned a back seat. Enthusiasm lor Grant is overwhelming, and Republicans express the utmost confidence in a successful issue of the coming political struggle.
