hearing before Trial Justice MorreI at the

Wilson, charged with burning John MilIer's
barn in Durham, several years since. The ac-
cused was discharged under the statute of linn

Gen. Chomberlaln's Political Antecedents.
In reference to the article upon the "Bangor
Nomination" published in Wednesdays issue
of the Press, the delegates from Brunswick
have published the following, which appear

copy it with pleasure, and have no doubt Gen.

the Republicans in Congress, as stated by his

BANGOR. June 20, 1856.
To the Members of the Union Convention:
The Portland Press of yesterday, has an ar
ticle on the Gubcrnatorial contest which is
well calculated to mislead the public with ref
erence to the political position of General
Chamberlain. Knoecing, as we do, what his
political position is and has been for the last
ten years, we feel called upon, in justice to
Gen. Chamberlain and his friends, to state
that In 1856 he p0ted for HanRibal Hanllin
for Gocernor, and since that time he has IN
vARIABLY voted and acted oiM the Union
Republican party.
In 1864, at the time of the taking of the
soldiers vote, while he was lying ON his back
in hospital at Annapolis, Md, shot through
from hip to hip, with little hope Of recovery,
| he insisted upon being carried on litter to
the place of voting that he might cast what
he then supposed would be his last vote for
President Lincoln and his country.
In conclusion, we do not hesitate to say,
that at the present moment there is not In
Maine or elsewhere a man more patriotic or
devoted in heart to the principles Of the Re-
| publican party, or a more uncompromising
supporter of the course and action Of the ma
| jority of the Union men in Congress upon the
| question of the reconstruction of the rebel
! States than Major Gen. Chamberlain.
