Pennsylvania To Be Swindled Again,—"Potomac" says: "There is reason to believe that an attempt is making to perpetrate another great fraud upon the people of Pennsylvania. I understand that a grand, systematic, and well studied effort is to be made to cheat, deceive and humbug once more the Pennsylvanians on the subject of the Tariff. They are to be made to believe that the new British Tariff act is to be amended and altered at the next session of Congress, if found to be oppressive on Pennsylvania interests, and framed anew, with the design of fostering and protecting those interests."
