with his books, with .'vattel's Law OF Nations AT
this solicited meeting, on the part OF General
Cameron, he proposed TO me 70 get Coonel torney
change his course Of opposition; but declined TO
interfere, reminding Cameron OF how often had
tried to make peace for him IN that quarter, ana
how repeatedly he had violated Its honorable com

REPUBLICAN DEFEAT CERTAIN IN PENNSYLVANIA
l have made this communication already too
long, but give me room for a few more words. The
vania in October, and Simon Camer0n's personal
rule and political pr0sttutions are the causes
which will produce the disaster IL Is the only way
for the people to get rid OF him and break up the
vile combination which he calculates to lasten on
the State after he descends TO his grave. 1t is the
only escape from his p0lintiOns and the plumber
is the only way to hight up the dark
places in the financial affairs Of Pennsylva-
MA to cleanse its Auditing ONCE: to fix
proper guards around its treasury and prevent its
Chief Magistrate from being made "a vassal o. the
clan Cameron. republican defeat at this time,
admit. Is fearful venture, but the tremendous in
nuenees demanding it IN PENNSYLVANIA are IKE the
part to save an entire body from fostering corrup
ton and death rejoice to feel therefore, that the
people or Pennsylvania are moved by such spirit
when this corrupt ring s sent TO the grave of Tam
many. Yours, respectfully, ID. {. FORNEY.
