CONCENTRATIONS.

Mr. SHoLEs lnasmuch as a certain individual
OF our town has taken il into his head to emil ghten
yourself, and readers, the subject of our recent
town meeting, with a des gn evidently TO bring
into disrepute certain Democrats named in his
communication, and as some things in said com.
muaicaon, stated us facts, vary some from the
real fact, deem il proper 10 take up the subject
and continue the investigation in order to gain
little more light on the subject According to the
reading of your correspondent, l.. Grant and I'll.
5. Thorp, made TO have presided over a whg
caucus; this is error 1t is also stated that the
Democrats mainly supported their ticket, and the
Wings, the union ticket. The facts in the case
are, that the Democratic strength was about equal
ly divided this must have been the case, Otherwise
the result would have been different, for ii is a we'll
known fact, that several Wings, the connections.
and those in league with certain clique,
voted the Democratic ticket. The fact that the
Democrats have a majority in town of at least ~
votes, and that the Union ticket carried by mno.
rity OF from to IL, averaging about 10, as the
minutes of the meeting will show-proves me cor
rect. The main design OF your correspondent ap-
pears to be, to show that certain Democrats bolt
ed the regularly nominated ticket-now this is
old rogues trick after setting the building fire
he is the first to run and cry fire, that he may
thereby escape detection himself. Ii appears to
me, that recognize in your correspondent the
same individual, who, when Gen. Buen was run
the last time for County Commissioner privately
opposed his reelection, and afterwards, in order
win the Gen'l. support him in his aspirations
to Office went and told him that certain other De-
mocrais in Bristol had BACKED his name-at the
same time braging that he had BACKED the name
of Sill and would not be strictly bound by Con-
vention. The next year, if am ght with egard
to your correspondent, see him in league with
a large number OF Democrats, called, IN order
10 defeat The county ticket by the supper; OF
grel ticket made up of the two regularly nominated
tickets yet composed of Wings with the exception
of one or two; and again, we see the same young
man when an effort is made TO remove a certain
Post Master, writing friend in Washington in-
sructing him TO inform Capt. Tyler, that so far as
as the veoing OF the Bank is concerned, he is with
him-,hinking thereby to pacfy the Capt, and re-
tain petty office.
One word more with regard to town meeting;
some Democrats did not feel willing to support
ticket made up part OF such materials as the so
called Democratic was and evidently made up. TO
all intents snd purposes, prior to the caucus One
other circumstance shook the faith OF some Demo
Gratis that was The same clique nominating GER
tain body for the first office in town last year, who
IN fact, after making the most liberal allowance tor
capacity, would not it is thought, be more Than
competent 10 all the office of Poor Master, which
last named office, II seems to be the general opIn-
ION he would hll to the specicial beaeft of his own
purse. Loco.
