FURTHER FROM PENNSYLVANIA.
Correspondence of the Baltimore Patriot.
NORTHUMBERLAND, April 6, 1844.
You will rejoice with me to learn that we have elected James Pollock, a good man and true, who is equally for the Tariff and Henry Clay, a gentleman and a scholar, by a majority of 869 votes over John Snyder, a destructive, who is yoked with the so called Free Trade party. You know, my dear sir, what it is to encounter the prejudice of party. Party is a demon that has no head, and cannot think; no heart, and cannot feel; when she moves she moves in wrath, because she cannot grasp all the plunder from her oppressed fellow-citizens. But we met this monster, and with one decisive effort crushed her to the earth.
