Tho Republic and the Position OF usd
We must make short work with the Republics mis-
representations as to Pennsylvania, New York, and
Ohio.
In Pennsylvania the Republic finds one fact and just
one, which it object to, in the position OF the demo-
cratic party Hon. David Wimot is candidate for
local judgeshp and is "sumpng" the State for Colonel
Bigler! Well, why not' Why should not MIR. Wilmot
recant his errors as well as Mr. Webster. who claimed
them as g his thunder" Or why should Mr.. Wimoi be

sound national democrats, when Mr. Fillmore could be-
come chief national wing WITHOUT any abuaton of the
very opinions, and continue to hold that posi-

One word more to the position Of parties in Penn
sylvania as shown by legislative votes. The dem
ocrats of the House-about forty Of hem--gave solid
party role TO repeal The ,rhot of the obnoxious OBJ
