The Wing party, The Republican party,
and the American party, having each nomi-
mated candidate for the office OF Canal
Commissioner, il becomes apparent that
such division of the elements or oppos-
ton TO the National Administration, aud ils
Nebraska fraud, would inevitably lead to the
triumphant election Of Arnold Plumer, the
pro-savery Nebraska candidate-in view of
these facts, meeting Of our respective Gen.

Harrisburg, on Thutsday, the 9th OF Sep.
tember, 1856, and their nominees having
declined and been Withdrawn, Thomas Mich.

portion of The Know Noihings that the old
parties contained evils, among The most griev-
ous OF which was, that The masses were too
much under the control of their leaders. But
the above circular exhibits degree Of pre-
sumption in party leaders such as was never
before Witnessed in Pennsylvania. Messrs
Fisher, Todd, and Wilmot attempt 10 lead
their several parties By the nose, and set aside
the action Of three State conventions as cool
ly as the dictator OF France or Mexico could

the people sent delegates TO the several Stale
conventions 10 select fiji candidates. II cau
not be pretended that Msssrs. Martin, Hen
derson and Williamson are not true repre-
senlatives OF their several parties; but the
three dictators get together at midnight and
knock down the nominees as easily as they

tlemen in china shop, thsy play the deuse
with The party crockery-ware of the Know
Noihings, Wings and Republicans.
