New York and Philadelphia exut so much
in their prospects, If they are not aware of the
money they had collected, and Of the agencies
they had employed, to pipe-lay the States

And yet they will be disappointed and de-

political allies in the South-or, we have been
much deceived by the sources, to which we

November, they are to perform that service
for their country and the Embodiment here.
This game will be attempted, have no doubt.
Everything profigate and dishonest, and that
money and corrupt alliances can effect, will
make up the elements of the contest in this
