md that we are ready now, as we have always
been, to transfer TO the opposition AL such IN
prineipled traitors, as, like them, are unwilling
to sustain our principles by abiding by our

Reolred That we have not a doubt Of the
utter, infamous and irrrd"cmablc corruption Of

The Pennsylvania publishes the names Of
the traitors and remarks:
We publish at the head Of orr columns this
morning. the names of the traitors and shall
keep it there until they become as familiar in
mems mouths rs household words. We call
upon onr Democratic brethren throughout the
State to publish them in the same manner.
Let the finger of scorn he pointed ut these
miscrcnnts wherever thcv 90, and the cry Of
shame and Indignation follow them ever to the
grave.
The Argus remarks:
This is not the only time that bought inlln-
ence have been brought to bear npon orr Log
slators to defeat the will of the people and
elevate rnscaity, and it is time that orr citzrns
should show that they will not tame'y submit
to being misrcpresentod and cheated by their
unworthy servants. We should be brief when
traitors brave the field.
