The re-nominntion of our present patri
ofic Executive. will be hailed by' every
Democrat throughout the length and
breadth of the Keystone State. as an act
eminently due that distinguished stolen
man. for the faithful and honest manner in
which he has discharged his pub'ic duties
as Chief Magistrate of the State. We
defy even the viperous tongue of Federal
slander, to find one spam in hit character.
