BOSTON, Dec: 27.-The following was received
from Bangor Me-, at O'Clock this morning.
QUIET on Friday a
ceeded as regularly as usual. The best citizens
express great Indignation at the moving of the
arms through the streets on Christmas day,
but not the slightest tendency to disorder of any
kind was manifested. The news of the clandeS-
tine removal of rifles of the Old Town company
from the armory by the fusonists last night
caused much comment and comparison with the
lack OF any proposition by the republicans here
to disturb the munitions at the arsenal OF arm
ory. Lieutenant Colonel Daniel White. Of this
militia by the resignation Of Colonel Matlock,
has issued circular to the different companies
expressing the hope that all the present trou-
bles will be peacefully settled, and asking re-
ports Of membership, arms &C. At a meeting
OF the citizens executive committee last even
ing the following was
ADOPTED FOR PUBLICATIONS:
70 ne P,dbl'c:-In view Of the spontaneous
uprising OF our citizens at the sight OF arms and
ammunition transported through our streets on
Christmas day stealthily and without written
authority FOR the purpose, on behalf of the
force the threatened crime against the decision
OF the majority, as expressed at the polls the
undersigned, an executive committee OF citizens
mously of opinion that while this uprising was
but natural expression OF the Indignation OF
our citizens yet If our governor shall see fit to
persist in this remarkable and alarming pur-
pose of gathering munitions of war for use
against the people, the responsibility therefor
may well be left upon him; and the law-abiding
citizens of Bangor will do nothing that would
incur any degree of responsibility for the de-
plorable consequences which may ensue from
turning the capital of the state into an armed
camp. We therefore feel assured that there is
sist the execution Of any order lawfully given
by the governor for the removal from our city
of any property belonging to the state.

ex-senator Morrill, does not mean so much as at
first sight it may appear to. He expresses a
willingness to refer the points that have not
already been adjudicated upon, but it is under
stood that he believes these points are extremely
few, and that he has decision of the court to
back nearly every case. This leaves hope for a
peaceful settlement through the Morrill, plan
decidedly faint one. Though the attempt was
creditable. it looks now as II nothing can pre-
