The hocal papers have republshed from
the Boston Gazette, a statement respecting
the la:e Pennsylvania election, which is an
absolute falsehood. 1t asserts that the
abstraction of the teller's lists in one of the
precincts of the county of Philadelphia, op-
Grated to give lngersoll the certificate ,c
Congress. over Naylor, and, also, to give
the certificates to the whig members ofthe
State Legislature" That this is false is
well known to those who give it currency,

partizan leaders in that State have a,,emp,.

The votes poled in the Northern I.;her.
ties of Philadelphia county, were thrown
out by majority of the return judges, for
illegallity, after examining witnesses and
hearing counsel. This gave Ingersoll the
certificate of election to Congress, but it in
no wise affected the The rights of the demo-
