amendment or corrections under the statute

THE FEELING AT BANGOR.
BANGOR, Me, Nov. 16.-The reports from
Augusta Of the intention of the governor and
council 10 count out the Republican majorities
in the Legislature, and thus seize control of
the State government for the coming year,
were fully credited by leading Democrats here
on Saturday, and Republicans who have been
designs have come to regard the threatenings
as serious. The preparation of an act OF this
character would undoubtedly cause the most
intense excitement ever known in this State.
Many leading Republicans in this section go
to Augusta on Monday.
