According to the foregoing returns Messrs.

on an inspection of the copies of votes as re-
turned from Brunswick, it appeared that
Messrs. Spring, Philbrook, and Cram received
each 301 votes. and Mr.. Elliott 1856. 1t was
suggested by Mr.. Elliott that the return was
erroneous, he having received less than the
others, and he presumed it should be 2S6 in
stead OF the above number and advised ref
erence to the records to determine. The

who forwarded true copy of the votes as ac-
tually given. The suggestion of Mr.. Elliott
was verified, and the copy transmitted to the
office of the Secretary of State was conclu-
sively shown to be erroneous. The Commit
