TIE TORY RESURRECTION IN PENNSYL-
WANNA

What the Tories cannot accomplish by frand
and perjury the ballot boxes, they are determined
to achieve by brute force and threats OF murder
The scenes which have been enacted by them in
Pennsylvania of Il character so revolving to
cause the friend of his country TO tomble for It's
safety. The Tories have rise the enemies of
free Government, and attempted to suppress the
popular will, and dissolve by force, the Legislative
branch of the Government of Pennsy lvania But
we hope they will be put down, if it be necessary
at tho point of the bayonet, and the majesty of the
law indicated.
The pretended cause Of this difficulty is so truly
and imparlially explained in the annexed article
from the Boston Atlas, that publish it that the
public may not be msled by the misrepresentation
of the Tory prints
Previous to the Election, Mr. Charles J. lnger-
soil, who WINS candidate for Congress in the Sd
Congressional District, embracing part of the
county of Philadelphia, openly instructed ms par
were necessary to secure his election, both VIo
LENcE and BLOOD ought freely TO be be resorted to-
But notwithstanding this magnanimous eXhortation
when the day of the election came, the courage OF
| Loco Focos failed them.
/ Inoersojl, however, was determined, at some
rate or other have the certificate OF election "
as foq ce had failed, he now restored to FRAUD The
Northern Liberties, which are divided into seven
wards had given a majority of about a thousand
votes for Naylor and if the returns from this por-
lion of the district should be rejected, Elngersol
would be elected. 1t so happened that in one of
these seven wards there wasa Loco Foco ma orty
and Loco Foco inspector: and by way of caus
inc the vote of the whele Northern Liberties to be
rejected lngersoll procured the Loco Foco inspec-
tor of this one ward to destroy, or keep back, his
tay list so that no return could be made from that
ward Ingersoll then argued, -beng admitted to
a hearing before the judges of the election, that
| as the return from one of the wards was wanting,
the whole vute OF the Northern Liberties must be
rejected 1t was replied by Nay and others -
and certainly with great show of reason that no
doubt it was proper and necessary TO make no &C
count of the vote in that ward, of which return
was made and of which the tally list was lost or
wilfully DESTROY ed but that this deficiency in this
one ward could not affect the returns from the 9th
err six wards, which were fairly and properly made
and which ought TO be rece- ed and counted
The Judges of the election Were seoenteen in num-
her of whom ten were Loco Focos, and Seuen
Wings. The argument of lngersol prevailed with
the ten Loco Focos and they resolved to reject the
vote Of the Northern Liberties attogether &C.
count of the deficiency of ward, and to give
MIR Ingersoll the certificate of election, aohich Ney
did according.
The perfect reckessness of Ingcrsol in this pro-
ceedipg. is apparent from this circumstance
The Loco Foco majority in the county of Phla-
deIphia, which is entitled to eight members of AS
