We have lost this district by majority OF $50
to 900, the result of local jealouses and petty
strife We confess we not much disappointed
We expected and predicted the result when the
nomination was made Gen Petrikin is good
citizen, and a worthy man but we were satisfied
that NEITHER he nor any of the other Lycoming
candidates could succeed in their own county.
We were therefore anxious, though we did not
claim it, that the nomination should be given to
a gentleman of this place. This county did. her
duty nobly. Lycoming alone is to blame. Her
leaders are much "too thick to thrive"

This is the regular cuckoo song of the wings,
and a more proAigate attempt at deception could
not be, than 10 mix this question in the politics

man, knows il is a LOCAL and not rARrI2AN

stand out firmly in its support, No such issue
can in any point OF view, be said 10 be involved

Hank, until driven into it on the ith inst, by
communication addressed to the Hon. Joseph
White, who arrived in town on that day to adj
dress meeting of the citizens, in the square.
The letter, which was respectful and courteous,
and signed by number of democrats was pre-
santed TO that gentleman; stating that they had
understood he was in favor of National Bank,
aud desiring him TO express his views 10 the
meeting Mr. White after finding little fault
with the manner in which he was cornered and
brought to the test, came out boldly and openly
on the subject and avowed himself the advocate
of a National Bank, which, in his Judgment, was
also an important whig measure. We are much
indebted to the Hon gentleman for this, as We
regard IT, and always have regarded it as the true
issue between the parties now contcndng. The
issue now is BANK OR NO BANK by con.
sent of both parties.
