The report that the Pennsylvania Senator has go
written to his friends in this city may or may not
be true bu, we find good reasons for concluding
the report to be correct in the following facts, to
wit:
l. Senator Buchanan is a respectable Locnfoco.
and would not willingly decei g his friends here.
Indeed. it is fair TO suppose that he would be
most willing TO undeceive them. He has been
much over the State, and ought to kno,o the su.

have no doubt that the naturallzed vote cast for
Mr.. Skunk more than trebed the Native vote
given to General Marke, and thus it is plain to
Us that without the agitation Of ,h. question. we
should have lost ,he State. We saw it without
