place short time ago. which proved TO consist of
majority in numbers and intelligence of the citizens

Pennsylvania, particularly in Lancaster County,

Township officers, Inspector and Assessor) which
was made question Adams or Jackson, and was con-
sdered far trial of strength, the friends of the

majority, and the same result occurred in many
other townships where the Election was made a
