"a Pennsylvania, which never was, nor
ever will be, influenced by Yankee fa-

over the attempted frauds in Philadel-

was to be cheated out of his election,

Men have too long used the parties to

New Jersey, where there was more
charges of secession than in any other

on leading Democrats, has completely
thrown off the yoke of Republicanism,

are Democratic. No State officers
