HARRISBURG, Pa, Sept. 90, 1856. ="
The following address from the Central Commit
tees OF the Whig, Republican, and American parties
has been published to the people of the State:
TO the People of Pennsylvania: The Whg party
the Republican party, and the American party hav-
ing each nominated candidate for the Office of Ca
nal commissioner, it became apparent that such a
division of the clements of opposition to the Nation
al Administration and its Nebraska fraud would in
evitably lead to the triumphant election Of Arnold
Plumer, the pro-slavery Nebraska candidate. ,:
In view of these facts, meeting of our respec-
tive central committees of said parties was held at
Harrisburgh on Thursday, the 9th of September,
1850, and their nominees having declined and been
withdrawn, Thomas Nicholson of Beaver. County,
was nominated the candidate of the said parties
for the purpose of concentrating the votes of the
Antl-Nebraska party on one man, and he is hereby
earnestly recommended to all the lovers of freedom
in Pennsylvania as capable, honest and true heart
ed man, who is worthy of the support and conf
dence of the people.
By order of the committees -,.-
-. ..e: ..-E JOHN A. FISHER,
Chairman Whig State Committee.
LEMUEL TODD,
Chairman of the American State Committee.
DAVID WILMOT,
Chairman of the Republican State Committee.
There are but two tickets now in Pennsylvania
the Democratic, and the above fusion ticket. .
The old Johnston and Seward Wings, the Know
Nothings, and the "Republicans" have all united
and are making common cause against the South
The "Repubcans, it is known, are a compound
of all isms from abolitionism down. They nomina-
ted recently, in their Convention the slave-stealer
Passmore Williamson. Wilmot, the Chairman of
their Committee, was a Democrat up to 1916, when
he introduced in the House his famous proviso in
relation to slavery. Since that time, fallen and de-
spised by the Democracy of Pennsylvania, he has
been denoun ced and scourged without mercy, for
he deserved none; and he finds himself in this
motley crew, waging fierce war upon the Constitu-
ton and the South. .... ..
The people of the South, without distinction o
party, are well informed as to the position of the
Pennsylvania Democracy. They true to the
Constitution, and are determined to stand in good
faith by the fugtive-slave law. They also, a
party, in favor of the Nebraska BILL and their
bers of Congress will vote against its repeal. The
issue is therefore, narrowed down to single piont-
the tusionists being ar,myed against and the Demo-
Gratis in taror ot, the Constitution.
Where now are the boasted benefits of Know
Nothingism in Pennsylvania? The delegates from
that State in the Philadelphia Convention voted in
favor of the slavery article in the PLATFORM but in
the course of few weeks thereafter a meeting OF
the State Council at Reading, struck out the article
referred to- and inserted Resolution the sub
ject pointedy hostile to the South. Now they are
in full communion and fellowship with Wilmot and
his vile adherents, and stranng every nerve to de-
feat the National administration and its Nebraska
fraud We call the attention of our readers, and
especially the Know Nothings of this State to these
facts They will look in vain for them in the COL
umns of their own prints.
