A review of the late Election demonstrates,
that the State Of Pennsylvania is honestly OPP
posed to the re election of Gen Jackson.
The vote given to Gov. Wolf Is no test OF
Gen. Jaokson's strength. The Harrisburg Ga
zette, Lancaster MISCELLANY, Berks and Schuyl-
kilt Journal, Eas,on Wing. Muncey Telegraph
Gettysbute Gazette, Piltsburg Statesman, and
Irish Shield published in Philadelphia, all able
aud sfficient National Republican newspapers,
zpalously supported Gov. Wolf: several other
Na'Ional RepubiCan newspapers maintained
neutral ground. among which may be numbered
the Buck Count, intelligencer. one OF the most

the Elections letter puIportng 10 be written
by Mr. Ritner, vas circulated In the Western

was opposed TO the completion OF the Branch Ca

The effect was beyond all example; every
contractor and aburer saw hIs means OF employ
ment arrested; every farmer saw his farm re-
ducet one half in vaue-anh thus those coun
ties doubled the largest majority ever claimed
from them by their friends 1t is said this letter
attributed to Mr.. Rltner, Is not genuine; whe-
Their il be or hot is now lmmaterlal. Until the

Gen Jackson 10 Congress. and previous to the
Election. refused TO give any pledge to support
