FROM the IeDlSgC0ll20 i'uen2SenceT.
\ PENNSYLVANIA Politics. The Presidential vote OF
\ PENNSYLVANIA is now decided. The numerical
strength of parties may be estimated at about seven
ty thousand Administration, and ninety thousand
/ Jackson votes. The legislature has large Oppos-

course, all the responsibility Of legislation, at this
important crisis in the affairs of the State, rests ON

We are not disposed to utter any splenetc feel

tentatious. Gaudy colours do not benefit them.
We believe the blaze of his opponents exterior OBJ
scured his real qualities, and the public has not yet
dscoyered them. We have followed a course which
the history of our prosperity dictated. We have
avoided that which the history OF all nations eau
! toned us against. We saw no necessity Tor new
experiments. because we had no grievances to com
nlain of. We believe our People have been decelv-
u ed and made the instruments OF designing men.
