DR.. John says-"The editor of the
Democrat, in alluding to the result of the
special election for Congress, held in
Bucks and Lehigh counties, few days
ago, exults in calling it a great victory,
and INSISTS that "Breckinridge stock is
up, in that District" This is another of
the Doctors cool fasehoods. We stated
emphatically, that ''the Philadelphia
Press"-and we might have added DR..
Johns tory Machine,-''denounced Mr..
STILES as 'Breck inridger," and then
added, "According to this, Breckenridge
stock must be above par in Lehigh and

inserted, to torment our yerdant nc eighbor

and we knew it then, that JOHN D. STILES
