There .s q report that a considerable
Dum6rr Of cgt'zsus ,f Preston county de-
clare that they voted for Joan 7. ouer for
Congrl7s, aul that their votes were not
counted. We do not know "a 10 the truth
uithis statement, hu. those who are lmph-
Gated should demand the most searChlug
Investigation, ana the matter should &c
probad IN the bottom. The Republican
party cannot afford to have any such
stigma resting upon it, nor, indeed, ioT
