The distinguished office Of attorney general ot the
/ United States, is compliment eminently due his

pie OF Penns yyania in general and Bedford County

vitIng every element, no matter how degraded or
Ioaihson:e, to "unite'' with them in their unrght-
eous war against the Democratic party-a party to
winch they are EXCLUSIVELY indebted Tor all the
greatness we have acquired Nation.
RcS0ired, That the conduct Of the party aSsum. =
to be 'SAMERICAH," has proved itself to be faction
Justly attributable to The American name--a mere
ull-trap-or anything else you please

evidence that there IS living principle in the ranks
