FRIENDS OF FILLMORE,

All of you Rho are in earnest in your
desire to see him elevated again to the
Presidential clair, consider u fact or
two.
We all agree that if the election goes 10
tue House Filhnore's chance of election is
better than that of either Fremont or Bu-
ehanan Don't we! Indeed we feel San
sulne that the two extremes must unite on
him that the conservative sentiment Of the
country viii absolutely demand such un-
ion, and chat Congress will not dare 10 dis
obey it. Tha safety OF the Union aud the
good Of the country will compel the choice
Of Fillmore ifthe election go to the House.
This We all agree about.
We all agree, again, that there is 10
chance of carrying Pennsylvania for dis
tinctive Fillmore Electoral Ticket.
We all agree, again, that if PennsyiFa-
na goes for Buchanan the election win not
60 to the House that such result is fatal
10 the prospects Of Fillmore. Don't wel
We all agree, again, that the only hope
Of clecting Fillmore rests upon cord ial
union of all The opponents of Buchanan in
Pennsylvania on one Electoral Ticket
Even Sandcrson, the Bogus American at
the head Of the American State Executive
Committee admits this. We all agree, again
that if every man iu our State who is OPP
posed to Foreign Inhuence--to Panal inter-
medlling in our political affairs--to cater
ing for the votes Of Catholics and Foreign
ers-and to the Repaalo Of the Missouri Com-
promise and the Kansas Outrages-wiil
vote for Union Electoral ticket that it
will carry, aud the State be kept from Bu-
chanan.
Now, then, Why should not every true
friend of Fillmore vote for Union Elcc-
toral Ticket, aud so keep the State from
Buehanan-and so throw the election into
the House--and SO secure the election of
Fillmore to the Presidency -aud SO sub
serve the best interests Of the country?--
Why notl In the name of common sense,
why not. Can man really desire the cleo
ton of Fillmore, and refuse to cast his vote
in the only way that will ensure his cleo
ton! Can he2 And especially can he, if
he may vote for Union Electoral Ticket
without shade of compromise of his dis.
tructiye Americanism! Surely, surely not
And We appeal to our American brethren,
with ali the earnestness Of true American
heart, to join at once, with cordiality and
zeal, in mighty effort to CARRY the Union
Electoral Ticket, with AGllard Fillmore's
name at tie head, and SO ayeuch that A.
mericans shall rule America-that the In
ion must be preservod-and that SAN never

yI In the Bedford Gazette of this week,
appears an address, which was spoken by
noaiag John Cessna at the Club meeting on
last Saturday night. The names of the
other members of the Committee are also
signed to it, some of whom have hereto
fore passed for gentlemen; but We presume
their names we're placed to it without their
knowing its contents.

A LITTLE- TOO STRONG

We have just seen Loeofoco handbill
calling meeting Of the faithful at Bar
ley's school house on the 3Qth inst. Is is
to be addressed by all the Bedford speak
ers, and the Importance Of the contest is
said to be great, because the handbill says:
"If the Abolitionists succeed, three mit-
lions Of Southern negroes are to be turned
loose on Us to cat our substance and Gll our
poor houses !" Is il not shame tina I any
men even protesting decency should thus
endeayer to impose on and deceive the un-
wary. They distributed them in the
country in the desperate hope of deeeiving
the .unwary, and those who are green
enough to believe such liars. If The abo-
litionists succeed then the slaves are TO be
set loose. Yes, ard if the .abolitionists
succeed, why not g the whole figure and
say the whites will turn black. The one is
Just as true as the other. If the sky falls
we will catch larks! The abotitionists,
with Gerrit Smith for their candidate, eau
hardly poll ten thousand votes in the whole
United States, and of course cannot "suc-
ceed;'' bat the baseness and falsehood of
the bill is in representing all as abolition
lists who will not vote for Buchanan and the
extension of negro slavery into Kansas
The idea intended to be conveyed is that if
Fillmore should be elected, the Southern
slaves will be liberated Is not this too
bad. The unprincipled liars know better
than this, and we trust the honest voters Of
the ''Corner" will treat such base attempts
at deception as they deserve.

Union for the Sake of the Union

tLiOA fVf tHt Sdhc vi tHt UHiUH,
We regret exceedingly that the Commit
tees of the American aud Republican par
ties failed to cordially and unanimously
agree upon a Union Electoral Ticket at
Philadelphia last week. We had conf
dently looked to their agreeing, and felt
warranted in assuring our people on ali
hands that there would be Union. Long
ago we declared our conviction that Union
was advisable. We have not changed our
opinion. Iu view of all the circumstances
we cannot. We must therefore go for a
union, and whatever influence the Register
may have We give in that way. The Union
State Convention yesterday held in Harris
burg have put up an Electoral ticket on
fair aud honorable basis, and for that tick
ct SO put up We 60 heart and hand, and VIC
appea' to every American in the country,
and every opponent Of Buchanan Of what
ever party designation, as he desires the
defeat of that party which seeks to control
the country through FRAUD and PER :

Philadelphia and else where in this State as
well Us in California
We " ant our American friends TO mark
that we DO not desert Fillmore aud Donel-
son nor fuse with the Republicans. Its a
Union in which we stand for Fillmore as
before. Tie Republicans viii vote for
Fremont. Let them do it. Ne have no

THE FINAL APPEAL.

" | will lift up mine eyes unto the hills
from whence cometh my help. My help
cometh from the Lord which made heaven
and earth"
All parties regard the impending political
crisis as 2ne Of immense Importance. All
true Christians must feel that it is one which
involves precious, social, moral and religi'
Gus, as well as merely political interests.
Recent events are calculated to remind us
Of what we should never have been unmind-
full, viz: Our dependence for success in
every good cause upon the great Ruler Of
hearts and Of nations.
This arpeal, is therefore made to all who
believe that God lcars prayer In the brief
time which will elapse before the sufrages
of the people shall have decided the Presi-
Dental contest, three things viii be done
~ I'll truly Christian people.
|. Trey viii appeal 10 God far the
sincerity, and uprightness of their political
views and purposes, endeavoring honestly
and faithfully to review. iheir position in all
its bearings upon the greatin.erests involved
and praying earnestly that they themselves
may be guided in the right way.
.. They will recolleet that 'tThe Lo,d
reiFnef1," that even the 'king's heart is in
the handof the Lord, as the rivers Of water:
He turneth it wlithersoever Tie WILL" and
that the minds Of no men who have power
to influence the great decision, are beyond
the reach of His control With fall con-
viction of this great truth, and the remem>
! brauce that God has often moved the minds
Of men in relation to matters of great mo-
mcnt, they will make it a matter Of special
/ duty and privilege TO beseech Of Gcd that
He will so move upon the minds Of those
men who have the right 10 vote fer President
of these United States, or the power to in
fuence the votes Of their fellow citizens,
that they shall choose that man to this high
office, whom lie, as the great King, Will
s'delight to loncr," as just and equitable
ruler over meu,-over oil the inhabitants
of this favored land
I 8. As even stfaith without works is dead, .
50 all Gods obedient servants, while they
call upon him, will go themselves, if prae-
ticable, aud BY whatever influence they may
properly exert upon others, 10 the place d
| political c6ncourse, on the appoirtcd day,
and 10 its appropriate place, deposit their
ballot as the representative of their pleasure
in the decision of this question.
Having thus done what they could, and
discharged their individual. duty, they will
calmly leave the event to Him to whom
events belong, and pray aud expect that He,
as is His wont, will, even from seeming evil,
stilr educe good, aud overruie all our ma
tional and social affairs to the promotion of
his own glory.

of the Post Office in this place, in ease of
Buchanan's election. Don't be too san
guine, gentlemen, Buchanan will not be
elected, but il, through direful national
calamity, he should be, the present incum-

lady and foreigner, and Loeofocoism will

serting Buchanan, to pull down Dallas, and
run up Buchanan again
