and In the famous Senatorial fight OF 1850 The new
Justice OF the candidates voted for BY rhe
anti Cameron Republicans, who finally Joined hands
with the Democrats and elected Mr. Mitchell senator.
Mr.. Shass son recently made contest for the Re
publican nomination for Congress IN the Allegheny
CITY District against Colonel Bayne, the Quay Cameron
candidate. and the Shras family Is thus strongly al
He'd politically with Mr. Mngee, Representative Dial

part Of Pennsylvania. Mr. Cameron allege no
other reason for opposition 70 Mr.. -hiris than per
