PUBLIC OPINION IN PENNSYLVANIA
VOICE FROM THE WEST.
We annex an extract of a letter from an intelIi
gent and respectable merchant resident of the
Western section of the state He is far from be-
ing profesSed politician, and did not write tho
letter with view to it's publication, but simply as
an honest expression of his sentiments to n friend
in this CITY, 1t will be observed that he states in
his lettor that GEN. SOLOMON G. KREPPS,
a member of the State Senate, the gentleman to
whom letter, franked By the President, was
addressed soliciting denomination for Gen.
Jackson by Pennsylvania, has abandoned
Jacksonism Gen. Krepps is one OF the most
influential politicians of the west, and has abandon
ed the cause of the hero only from conviction,
that longer to support such cause, would be to act
in deadly hostility to Pennsylvania. Such change
cannot but have an immense influence throughout
the western counties of the state.
Extract Of Letter ddted,
WAsHINGToN, Pa. August 4, 1882
Many important changes have been effected in
the west, since the appearance of the Veto Mes
sage. Its ultra nullification-its tendency to pro-
mote discord and the disunion of the States-its
high tone of opposition to the protective tariff
its ridiculous, but dangerous reference to the two
great "classes" of the nation, which il desgnates
the "poor and the rich," thus creating jealousy
on the part, and hatred the other, be-
tween portions of the American people, by draw
ing marked line of distinction, where, if we
desire peace and unirersaL prosperity, should
exist, all call aloud for the reirbutivc stamp of
dsapprobation, and the Just indignation of an en-
lightened people.
Gen. Krepps, highly respectable member ofthe
Pennsylvania Senate, from Fayette county, and the
gentleman to whom the notorious letter, written by
Randolph and ranked by Jackson, soliciting nomi.

stand in opposition to the present incumbent of the
