the more general dissemination of

much to break up this old time

THE MONTPELIER POSTOFFICE.

MONTpELIER, Nov. Il, 1856.

MONTPELIER, Nov. H. 1856.
The Argus this morning published
call for Il democratic caucus. signed by
Harry Lowe, John Mooney. H. L. smith.
j. y. Locklin, A. a. Mead, chairman.
These men compose a small portion of the
anti Atkins crowd, and the pur-
pose is to push forward their candi-
date for the postotlice. Mr. Mead
and Mr. Lowe are asplrants, with perhaps
greater influence on the Mead side Why
the Argus should publish the call is CON
sidered somewhat funny. The caucus
Will be held saturday at Capital Hail. and
the ballot for candidate for postmaster
will be by ballot. This is not the first
time the democracy have exposed their
foolishness in the Montpelier postotIice
business, and every new name only re-
suits IN making laughing stock for not
only the republicans, but well-balanced
democrats as well.
Providing a candidate is chosen there is
not ghost of Il chance of his being ap-
pointed by the president. 1t is too near
the session OF Congress to remove the
present republican incumbent, and with
out due consideration a 10 who his sue
