We Are prepared to prove them in a court Justice to the letter nay Many of the facts Are stronger and present the conduct of the commissioners in a More infamous Point of View than our charges. The testimony of the editor of the Lycoming Eagle is his statements can be corroborated by Twenty witnesses. In addition to the charges heretofore made Public we Are now prepared to prove by testimony indubitable that the work has been allotted to political partisans at vastly higher than the bids of As Good contractors As can be found in Pennsylvania who were the friends of David r.
