The following communication, which we copy from
the North American, setting forth the claims of
Mr.. NJ, we commend to the attention of readers
The northeastern section Of The Common.
wealth will press The domination Of their favor.
iie son, the Hon. PETER S. MIcHLER, and we
believe that there is no, Whig in the State
who would pole stronger vote. A nauve OF
Pennsylvania, Of German descent, possessed of
a strong business mind, clear intellect, pleasing
manners. and independent manly spirit, that
spurns any thing like lrickery or deceit, he is
beloved and respected by every man who knows
him. Ii was these noble traits Of character
that enabled his friends in 1885 10 elec, him to
the Senate of Pennsylvania, from this the then
strongest Locofoco Senatorial District in the
Siaie. In how acceptable manner be con.
conducted himself while Senator the people Of
this Commonwealth know WELL No member
Of The Senate was more respected and beloved
by his colleagues than he. The writer of this
has frequently me, those colleagues in different
parts of the State, and Mr.. MichIer was al.
ways enqured after by them with the most ar
den, feelings Of attachment and respect. So
far, therefore, as proper qualifications are con.
eerned, there can be no fault found with him.
Bot, besides the fitness Of man, we think
Eastern Pennsylvania is entitled to candidate
at the coming election. The West had Gen.
Markle in Is44-the Centre had Gen. Irwin in
1s47--the Whig Canal Commissioner elec, is
from The West-the present candidate for that
Office is from the Genre. Give as, therefore,
in North Eastern Pennsylvania, The candidate
for Governor, and with old Rough and Ready"
for our national s,andard.bearer, and Peter S.
Michier for our State feader--we will send
you more astonishing news from this oEce strong
Locofoco region, but from which Ihe spirit OF
delusion@is fast passing away. than we have
ever done before. Remember what our vote
IN this district was a few years ago, and what
i, has been lately. Remember that Norhsmp-
ton at the election last fall. was the banner
county ofihe commonwealth for change of vote.
Give us, then. a chance TO redeem ourselves.
and in our redemption we will secure the State
from again falling into rhe hands Of the spoil
ers. Yours M.
