One of the Federal signs, wanting in that little ingredient called t-r-u-t-h.
From the New Orleans Bee, (whig.)
"Col. James Page, the post master at Philadelphia, and formerly one of the most prominent and influential administration men in Pennsylvania, has turned over a new leaf and come out in favor of old Tip."
The Pennsylvanian, published in Philadelphia, says that this intelligence in the Bee, is utterly without foundation. That Col. Page is now as staunch a Democrat and Van Buren man as he ever was.
