from one of them that the building looks weak and
from another that it makes ridiculous parade of its
strength to hear from one that It ia monotonous,
and from another that it il spoiled by variety;
from one that il looks like q barracks and

A vassalboro' correspondent write.

A vassalboro' correspondent writes: The dem
ocrats Of Vassalboro' met at Murrys Hotel on
Saturday evening, March 18th, and partook of An
oyster supper given by the old war-horse, John
Mower, in memory of the election of their rep
resentative last fall. After the cloth was removed
speeches were made by the Hon. John Mower,
II. A. Priest Esq, and others, congratulatins
themselves on the success of the fall election,
and their strength to carry the spring election OF
town officers. After which they resolved them
selves into a caucus and made their nominations
for town officers, and gave cheering words OF an
ticipation Of their success. With these bright
hopes before them they went into their annual
meeting and commenced to work. But when the
tidal wave of republican feeling came sailing
along they were buried forty fathoms Deep and
from all appearance never to rise again. The re-
publicans carried everything before them with
overwhelming majoIities, and with the best OF
feelings.
