To these eoiiehloratione the committee
Might - add-moye personal - ones. They might
appeal to the people to beware of making Gun- '
ernor of the Commonwealth a gentleman who
Ilan been all his life not only an office-holder,
, but an office-bolder connected with our cor
rupted and corrupt ng caun 'system, .end
whose associations, therefore, are not of a de•
sirable character : who never ran for an office _
in Lycoming District without falling behind his
paig; vote; who has bee), double faced
upon tdinost every public questiun--always •
excepting canal 'questions, wherein he, has
constantly been faithful to the office liolderar
who meanly declined to meet Mr. Wilmot in
discussion, yet hovers around his rbule, though
at a respecttul dodtinee; who pretended to be "
yupilling to discuss the Clavery qiieation, yet
fficarcely alludes to any other •topic - ; and who _
' has practiced in his c.raer those tortueattien
and dodges Which mark the modern beinocrat
io pfiliticion. This Committee do not wish to
dwell upon these mortifying facts in the !de l ,
to y of the Dvinocridic candid..te, but merely
tggest them as iiidicatiena of:tle2lnannet.
