towns are in the Generals favor, largely.
From letter received this week from a
reliable, we'll posted, and intelligent poll
tician, we learn that Augusta, Gardiner,
Watervilie, Sidney, Pennington, Bruins
wick, Topsham and IIarpswcll have elect
cd Chamberlain delegates. Belfast has
also elected Chamberlain delegates. These
are quite significant facts and points I'M
mistakably the way the wind is setting.
Brunswick, the residence OF the Gencr-
al, elects seven good men to represent that
town, headed by Hon. Marshall Cram.
The Caucus was held on Saturday and
after clecting the delegates, the following
preamble and resolution was passed, and
