Things 10 be Remembered,

That during the Federal administration of Joseph
R,ner, the state debt was increased upward, of F.
LEvEN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
That in addition to this he squsndered SIX
MILLIONS Of dollars, received as the price Of
Bank bonuses, and from the United States out of
he surplus revenue.

Ing man bear in mind that he 10 taxed 10 pay the
interes, on money thrown away by this Fede,al
administration.
Let the people remember that the same admins
ua,ion wasted upwards of MILLION of dollars
on Stevens's Gettysburg railroad, and that John
Banks has promised Stevens to finish the TAPE.
WORM, and thus waste THREE MILLIONS more.
Let them recollcct that 33l 900 dollars were ex.
pended on the Huntington breach, when good and
responsible men offered to do the repairs for 900
dollars.
OHE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOU.
SAND DOLLARS were drawn out of the people's
pockets to pay the troops brought to Harrisburg by
Stevens and his band Of traitors to defeat the elec.
tons ond ihrus. men into the legislature who had
never been elected.
And when the tax payer recalls 10 mind all these
things, and the thousand other ways In which the
public moneys were squsndered, lie, him seriously
ak himself whether he can assist in placing the
desilnies of the Keystone state again in the hands
Of the Federal party.
