CATAwissA.
On Saturday evening last a political dis

Whitmoyer, was held in the town of Cata,

at the rate of thirty minutes at time. The
attendance was large and orderly; and no

pleased. The township Of Catawissa has
been u the habit. of giving Republican ma.
jorities, but it is expected by some to join
the Democratic column this fall. 'Rah fol
