II win be observed that although each of the
New England Senators has a Craftsmanship,
and ColIamer, Of Vermont, two, the States Of
Delaware, Kansas Kentucky, Maryland, Mis-
s5uri, New Jersey and Oregon are entirely ig-
nored. True, abouE four Of these are Demo-
ogRgi~e States, and, & coaise, shey deserve nc
representation
IN the formation Of tie committees the Dem
ocratic Senators are treated most scurrllT, and
every important committee IS 50 arranged as to
be entirely under New England control 4
single glance al the above exhibit viii congiace
the most stupid reader that all the more inpor-
tant affairs OF the Government are entirely in
the hands Of New England Yankees Look,
for Instance, at the great Empire S.ate-put
off Is it IS with 8 craftsmanship Of sI'riyata
Land Claims" and the Cid Keystone with ona
on 'Patents and the Paten. Ofieo." At the
same time New England has control Of all the
military and financial affairs! How do our
Pennsylvania E.DUtchmen' like the picture? Is
it not pleasant TO be under Yankee domina-
tion?
The injustice Of allowing New England thus
TO monopoiize the legislation 81 the country
not 10 mention the disgrace of twill be more
manifest By consulting the following figures
By the census Of 1850, the six New England
Statas-Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut
had white population Of 3,lI0,572 BY the
same census Pennsylvania had white popula-
ton Of ?, ,840, ,266-or only PSI, sos less than
these whole six States In the same year New
York had 1851, 750--or seen hundred and
t5emty thousand one Aaedrcd AID ritz eiqht (720,-
1851 more than the wAola six YANKEE States!
Again. The SIX New England States poled.
at the late presidential election, SIS, $50 votes
At the same election Pennsylvania polled 572,-
707-or ffiy SeJeu ttoasl.43 qld fFtg seuaqs uotes
MORE THAN ALI. New ENGLAND! fGov Andrew,
Of Massachusetts, gives the key to this result
their population is superabundantIy female;
the males being largely engaged down south,
cotton specuating and reconstrueting rebel
States by conventions" etc. New York, at
the same election, poled a vote Of 730,72l--
or tco hundred and tsreag5ir thousand and serea-
ty one (225, ,07i) VOTES MORE THAN ALL THE YAM
KEE STATES CONFINED! And yet, after these
facts, these two great States are rendered the
chairmanships Of committees to deliberate upon
'EpriYate claims" and mechanical 'models I'-
But, as these are days Of humiliation, Pennsyl-
vania, as well as her sister States. must bow
down and be silent.-Pqt. & Union
