may lie counting without their host. Their only
chance Of carving the Two Delegates and the Sc
major OF The district is by the aid Of Angus Nc
Dcnald's spurious votes. We shall notice them
again in due season-and especially an imphdrn,

this manufacture of Mcdonald. The following
are extracts from the last No of that paper:

fraud which has been committed in The making
OF these deeds.
