o. On Tuesday next an election will be held in
Pennsylvania for Canal Commissioner, members of
the Legislature, and local officers There are but
two parties in the feld-the Democrats on one side,
and fusion of all the isms the other On the
the 29th of last month-this day week-the State
Committees of the Wings, Know Nothings and Abo-
lliouists, met at Harrisburg, and jointly nominated
Free.soiler, named Thomas Nicholson, for Canal
Commissioner the only State officer to be chosen, and
issued the following address, which have once be-
fore published, but, as 1t is short, give again
To the people of Pennsylvania The Wing party,
the Republican party, and the American party hav
ing each nominated candidates for the office of Canal
Commissioner it becomes apparent that such dl
vision of the eIements of opposition to the National
Administration and its Nebraska fraud would nevila
bly, lead to the election OF Arnold Flumel, the pIo-
slavery Nebraska candidate. In view of these facts
a meeting of our respective Central Committees OF
said parties was held at Harrisburg on Thursday the
9th OF September, 1855, and their nominees having
declined and been Withdrawn, Thomas Nicholson, of
Beaver county, nominated the candidate of
the said parties for the purpose of concentrating the
votes of the Anti-Nebraska party on one man. and he
is hereby earnestly recommended to all the lovers of
freedom in Pennsylvania, as a capable, honest. and
true-harted man, who is worthy of the support and
confidence of the people

stated 70 concentrate all the elements of opposi
ton TO the National administration, and to proven
the election of Arnold Plummer, the National Dem
ocrat, whom the FusioDiss denounce as the pro
slavery Nebraska candidate. This fusion was mad
with the party that nominated the infamous abolition
perjurer, Passmore Williamson, who was withdraw
in favor Of his brother Abolitionist, Thomas Nicho
son. In this connection, the following little item

CARLISLE, Pa, Oct. 2.-The Know Nothing Stat
Council met here to day, and endorsed the nomina
ton of Thomas Nicholson, (the fusion candidate,
for Canal Commissioner.
Such is the position of parlies-such the charactt
of the anti Democratic Fusion in Pennsylvania-suc
the objects of that Fusion, and such has mainly bee
the character the fusons made at the North b.
fore which, for time, tt Democratic party has f.
len. And, we :egret to say, such has been the COZ
litiOns whose Northern principles over the Democra
ic administration of Franklin Pierce has been halle
so enthusiastically by the opposition press at II
South. How does that press stand now? Will bi
ter partlzanship so far influence it TO withhold
WaEmest wishes for the success of the Democrats
Pennsylvania and the defeat of the Passmore William
confederacy. We shall see what We shall Sc
but certain it is that no influence can long keep Il
great body of the people of the South from wist1ii

with Arnold Plummer and the Pennsylvania Dem
Gratis should victory perch upon their banners,
sympathizing warmly with them in their defe;
should they fall before the antslavery fusion form
