had not the manlness to tell Myers that he

previous, You had said: The treachery /
Which defeased Myers & Lloyd Was known
before the polls were opened, and they by
selling the Washington township candidate

traverse Washington township, and tell the
people, that if Myers was cut in Washington,
PerShing should be beaten, and that the
Ebensburgers would refrain from voting until
they had report from Washington, and that

Jeremiah M'Gonigle. had 81 900 bet on that
election, ard that they would cause him to
lose that because Dick Whites friends were
active against Myers" and the same indiyid-

and [ refer to this delightful anecdote, only
to show the high state of political morality
which preyait IN the circles of the upper

defenders OF the honor of the Democratic par
E ty, and to understand that when they can not
get bone to guaw, they will, like Mr Banks
with the Union, let the principles of that par
ty slide"
8 Now, as regards Mr.. Lloyd. 'a short horse
is soon curried,;' and we will dispose Of his
case very rapidly My reason for voting
against him was purely political. Person
