I'm, os,a.s ao,, spa,ser enterprise

Il Is now generally agreed that the debata5le
ground IN The approaching Presidential contest
Will be principally Ia the States Of Pennsylvania,
CiiIc, and peIhaps some other western States
In order TO ascciiiiB the exact position OF partle
in those States, and TO acquire the most accurate
political iu.oIm1iion from there, we have deter
mine d to de- patch two or three of our most INTEL
Hcent reporters, to travel over that deblta5le
grcuud, aud report regularly every day, f.om The
most IoIillls souiccs the information which they
moy be able 10 collect, from both plIes, and from
.re.y quarter. These gentlemen vii dePait I'M
nediatc'y, end Nill traverse Pennsy Nania, OHIO,
aud other states.
We have also made ARRANGEMENTS to procure
the best .nlo.m;,ion from Maryland, North Ca
roiiua and other Southern States, where ther. IS
ecrne Ground Of bate between the two parties,
allhough it is l4r less Questionable than in the
States Of Penney lyania and Oilo. We expect t.
receive correct Intelligence from these qlaitars, to
an extent s. ficeutt g. enable TO form an acc =
