This was sent to me by a cousin on my Seitz/Sides line of the family. I found
so many of these observations to be on target that I thought the rest of you
might enjoy a chuckle as well.

How does this man fit in to the "CLONINGER'S"?
This is extracted from:
Pennsylvania Colonial and Federal, A History 1608-1906
Editor: Howard M. Jenkins Vol.II 1906
War of 1812:
page 324; paragraph #2 and #3
War was formally declared on the 19th of June, but the measure was not
generally sustained, especially in New York and New England, where
shipping and commercial interests had been seriously affected by the
enforcement of the embargo and on-intercourse acts of Congress. The
antagonistic element was embraced in the Federal party, its chief ground
of opposition being the alleged fact that the country was not prepared for
war. In Pennsylvania, especially in the region bordering on its navigable
waters, commercial interests suffered, as did those in the eastern States,
but the interior localities were less injuriously affected, although "war
talk" was the uppermost topic of discussion in the press and in the
assemblages of the people. Almost every town had its little contingent of
Federalists, who, for the occasion, termed themselves the "peace party",
and they were loud in their denunciation of their opponents, whom they
called "screaming war hawks".
At the time of which we write Pennsylvania was represented in the lower
House of the legislature by twenty-two members, of whom all save one voted
in approval of the declaration of war. Two members of the Senate also
seem to have allied themselves to the Federal cause and opposed the war
measure. Then the only Federalist in Congress from Pennsylvania was JOHN
GLONINGER, who had been elected by a majority of three hundred votes to
represent the counties of Lancaster, Dauphin and Lebanon. Having voted
against the war tax bill, he resigned, and Edward CROUCH, who belonged to
the war and administration party, was elected by a majority of seventeen
hundred votes.
