The caucus in Brunswick. Saturday, seems
to have been controlled BY the iIl-feeling that
has grown out OF successive controversies over
the post office there. At the recent expiration
of the postmasters term, the incumbent and
another gentleman, both of them eompetent
persons, were urged and supported by petitions
quite evenly representing the Influential. peo-
pie of the town. Representative Reed was
called upon to recommend Que of them, and
did so, whereupon the friends Of the unsuccess.
full candidate became angry, and carried their
resentment to somewhat remarkable ex-
treme in the caucus held on Saturday. AS we
hear no complaint that the gentleman recon-.
mended by Mr., Reed is not making good
postmaster, aud as he could not recommend
both of the aspirants, we are inclined to think
that the violence of the arraignment of Mr.,
Reed in the resolutions adopted in the caucus
will not find much sympathy among the con.
stituents Of the able Representative Of the
First District
