II is known that the House Of Representatives
of Pennsylvania consists oil 100 members, where.
of the Anti.Jacks IN men have this year elected
ffy sir. and the Jackson party jorty-two. The
remaining two are Of Bedford county; they were
volunteer candidates, and their political bias is
not known to US.
The Senate consists Of fifteen Ant.Jackson
and eighteen Jackson members. Should It be
asked 10y readers at a distance, why the Jackson
men have majority in the Senate. we reply
that only part of that BODY is elected annually.
Had the people acted upon the uhole this year,
there would have been two to one in favor Of
Ant.Jacksonism, exclusive of the two Bedford
members of the lower house. The Legislature
of the State ranks thus in juint ballot:
