intelligent and patriotic Of the nation ase with ug
IN feeling and opinion, and are inclined to think
that the greatest numbe. Of legal Votes have BEEN
thrown for Clay and Freingheysen. While Whigs
are impressed with such views they should not fail
to feel and act il they had been victorious in the
contest.
Although James X. POM has been elected presi.
dent by the vote Of New York, which was carried
in his favor By small mapsity, let us mot forget
that thousands Of those who sustained him. not on.
IN thae State, but in Pennsylvania. and through

was better Tariff man than Henry Clay. Let us
see how these pledges are to be fnlflled; and in

see that Four Representatives are sent from this

they will respect You as though you had been sue-
cessful in electing your candidates il you continue
faithful to your professions. The voice Of encour-
