The conrressional Canvass

The latest phase OF the Congressiona
canvass indicates that franklin county vii
be- nearly united on :. Z. Morrill,, Esq. a.
Messrs. Talbot and Weston have retired
from the field. Sagadahoe. from the returns
of Bath and several towns. viii be as
strongly united on Mr.. Gilbert.
AnJtoscoggin stands, as reporte !, Frye
IS, Dinglcy so. with Livermorc. 4, to be
heard from.
But few towns in Oxford have made
choice of delegates yet, as follows: Nor.
way. Oxford. Woodstock. Hebron and
Mexico. They arc all favorable to Mr.
Perbam, excepting Oxford. n portion OF
whose delegation is favorable to Mr.. Ding.
ley.
There is no doubt bot this county viii be
we'll united in sending delegates favorable
to the re- nomination OF Mr.. l'erham--but
they will nearly all go to the Convention
free and untrammelled, prepared to act for
the best interests OF the District.
Should the counties act by themselves. or
nearly so. the first ballot would be some-
thing like this : Perham, 80 TO 100; Nor
rill, 81; Gilbert, 40; Frye. AZ to so; Ding
ley. 50 TO -.
II any towns in Oxford county should 90
for either Of he candidates out OF the
county. they would be offset bv some towns
in the other counties which have already
elected men pledged to Mr.. Perbam.
II looks rs IL such state OF affairs ex
listed as 10 require the re nomination OF our
present worthy incumbent. upon whom all
could very cordially unite.
