that the Cumberland Valley is to be merged
into the Pennsylvania road. or that the latter
will be content with electing a President of

Eg- Gov. McEnery, in his message to the
Senate and House of Delegates of Louisiana,
says:
The real question is not what the Wharton
board or the Lynch board has declared as the
result of the election, but what are the official
returns OF the election. AS they came fresh
and officially from the hand of the commits
sioners OF election they determined in an au>
then'ic and official shape who was elected and
who Was not elected to office; and this great
question is untouched by the decision referred
to, for it was not nor could be before the
court in suit between the two returning
boards; and as Congress has now before them
these primary and only official evidences of
the election, it is presumed that Congress, in
the due exercise of its jurisdiction, will look
infinitely and rigidly into those evidences,
upon which alone can any legal State gov
eminent be established and organized in this
State.
