going to Congress from tho 7th Dis

Further, will r. II. Norton dare
deny, ocer his otcn Signature, that the
selection of the delegates at Wentz-
vile was not a piece of political
trickery that was fraudulent upon

ton made by the Leader are we'll
founded facts from which their is nc

that they are n and all true to the
