the only question IL, how many others participated

Of New York, to whom the persons qualified 10 vote

worth would have been furnished with thousands oi
dollars testified to by Stevenson, liavens, Bla,ch
fo:d Young and others, to be expended in bringing
clallengers from Philadelphia, al cost Of $50 per
head, with other foundation for the outlay than The
mere rumor that locoicco voters to be brought

WHY above all, did the notorious Glentwor,h resort
to such expedeats he has used to conceal his know
ledge Of The transaction. Why, when Intercepted
about his conduct did he refuse 10 answer, under ad-
vice of his counsel, far far If committing himse?-
If the object was they represent Il, only II prevent
