writer for tire Pittsburg Gazette makes The following
remarks onthe letter Of the Philadelphia Jackson Commit
| tee.
Every virtuous, patriotic, and reHecting citizen
OF the United States must regret this carly com
mencement OF an electionecrng campaign, against
an administration with whose measures, its oppo
nents find no fault For. upon the most careful
perusa of the letter of the Jackson Committee j,
will be seen that they do not condemn any one mea
sure OF Mr.. Adams. On the contrary, in direct
opposition to the liberal magnanmous, and patriotic
sentiment OF MIR. Crawford, they are not content
"to Judge the administration by its measures .
They expressly say " we will not Judge the admins
tratlon by its measures only"
They then refer to the often refuted charge OF
corruption between Messrs Clay and Adams, and
declare that they will take that matter into conside-
ration in the settlement Of Mr.. Adams stewardship.
II is truly matter of establishment that this charge
OF corruption should be repeated in Pennsylvania
alter the scorn, contempt, and indignation, with
which lis author, Mr.. Kremer, has been treated by
the yeomanry of this state.
Doubtless your readers all recoliec that about The
time Mr.. Krrmer made his attack upon Mr.. Clay,
the Jackson presses through hout the union, and par
ticularly in Pennsylvania, rang with the praises OF
this fearless advocate of the peoples rights !" and
Mr.. kremer was announced in leading Jackson

counties Of the state enough cannot be found TO

The Election.-With the contest which has Just
terminated at the polls in the several counties of
this State betw cen the Old and .NeW Courts par
ties-lhe Constitutionalists and disorganiSers, .
the "Reliefs and anti.reiiefs"-we hope will end
all further controversy the dis,racting questions,
which for number Of years past, have disgraced
our Commonwealth. Although the returns are in
complete, enough have been received TO satisfy both
parties, that the friends of the Constitution have
trumphed. There will be majority in both branch
es against the organizing act Of 1924, which
brought the New Court into existence and we
have as much confidence in the patriotism OF the
defeated party as to believe thar they will sub
mi, to the will of the majority. The voice of the
People in Republican Government must be res
pected; and alter the decisive expression of the
Peoples will on this subject. last year. confirmed
as it has been the present, there can be no motive
on the part oil the leaders of the minority short Of
Revolution, which can justify their perseverance in
course of policy universally condemned, and so
destructive to the peace and order of society. We
therefore. repeat earnest wish, that our party
collisions may cease, and that all may earnestly EN-
bark in the good work Of restoring harmony, re-es
