Union Electoral Ticket.

Although that ewsrof dirty work for
the Democracy, the Chronicle on Satur.
day announced that no fusion could b.
accomplished in Pennsylvania, we have
the pleasure to-day, Of laying before oul
readers the Union Ticket of Electors
The hopes and the schemes Of the Demo.
Gratis and their pimps and procurors,
havs been baffled completely. A few
corrupt leaders will hold back, and OIL
course &c for Buchanan; but even as to
the leaders, that is but partially the res
ult. Here iu Allegheny comfy, there
arc honorable exceptions. Among them
the Fillmore Candidate for Congress in
the Twenty-First District, openly and
manfuIly avows his determination not to
be sold to the enemy. So of others, we
might point out, among the leading men ;
as to the masses, the rank and file Of
that party, nine tenlhs of them declare
for the Union Ticket. -.
The table of majorities which we pub
llsh to day, compiled with great care, and
giving all the official majorities yet re-
ceived, shows that if the Democrats have
carried the State, that have done it by
less than nineteen hundred. This figure,
we can easily wipe out in Allegheny coun.
ly alone, when the single issue is presen.
ted, and we come to vote Union EIec-
toral ticket, with our candidate at its
head. .--...

'' FATAL ASSASSINATION. We learn that
man named Owen Scott was suddenly
stabbed at Ellicott's Mills, on the line OF
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, on Sat-
urday night, and that he died almost in.
stan'ly. He was walking along the road
going home, at the time. and was stabbed
by some unknown desparado, who prob
ably lay concealed for the purpose.
Mr.. Scott seems to have been worthy
man and left family behind him. He
WAS the foreman Of gang of the hands

The Connecticut Town Elections.

Although the Buchanan presses are
growing over an apparent gain Of a few
towns in The recent local elections in
Connecticut, yet they have little cause
for rejoicing over the popular sentiment
Of the State so far as this election is an
indication Of The way in which the whole
State will 90 in November. The Hart.
ford COurant says: eu ea9
't "If we figure up the reduced maiori-
ties in October, Of the towns which are
claimed to have gone for Buchanan in
OcIoberas well as in April, we shall find
that in the /" Triumphantly Democratic"
towns, a loss has been sustained Of al least
1900 more Take Middle,own for an ex-
ample, which the Times says is cover
whelming Democratic" and yet they
have fallen off more than 300 from their
vote for Ingham in April. Now we have
as we belive, clearly shown loss of at
least 5000 voles for the Buchaneers since
las, April, which added 10 the ,O37
which Ingham then wanted to elect him.
gives us 1907 votes as the least probable
majority of Fremont over Buchanan in
Connecticut; and we ask where are the
votes to come from to change this result ?
If a Fillmore electoral ticket s!voted for,

rily much greater. We are advised iha.

The BIBLE TIMES. In the October
number Of this Monthly the editor con-
cludes an article headed The New
York Independent" in which he rebukes
the manner of that paper in seeking to
plead with the Catholics, to secure the
election Of Fremont, with tile following
sentence ...
1--WE wish the Catholics no harm, but
rather all good. At the same time, we
think of them as we do of the ultra Slave
holders-the less political power they
have, the better for themselves, for the
country, and for the world. We would
make no concessions, or even seeming
concessions to Romanism, In6delty, or
any other iniquity for the sake of tran.
sient triumph. Grant the triumph by
such assistance e--and then what follows r.
The course pursued by some Of the
Northern Journals in their attempt to
coax the Catholics into the support Of
Col Fremonl's election, is we'll calculated
to drive thousands into the ranks Of The
opposition, while al tee same time it will
not secure one Catholic vote. If Col.
Fremont succeeds TO an election on the
4th Of November, it will be by the suf-
frage Of the anti-slavery extension Amer
leans Of the free States, aided by true
hearted Republicans id the North. II
these elements are not sufficient TO elect
him, he is defeated. 1t is a disgrace to
the Republican party TO attempt, 10 court

both Fremont and Dayton upon the ones.

Court OF COMMON PLEAs.-On We'd

in Steubenville; Judge Bostwick presi-
ding. A scene presented itself immedi-
ately upon the opening Of the Court,

had been drummed up by the political
wire workers of the sham Democracy,
in view Of manufacturing them up as
capital for the presidential election
From the appearance of the material to be
manufactured, we were led seriously to
doubt whether there were one in ten Of
the applicants for citizenship who really
knew that there was such an instrument
as Constitution to direct either our State
or National policy. Thirty nine Of the
number were carried through, principal
Iy, upon the veracity of one Capt. Col
Inns, well. known 10 the peace officers Of
our city. Thirty nine votes for the pure
Democracy, made in one day. This is
a larger accession to their ranks than has
been added by all the stump speeches Of
the unterrifed in the county, since the
commencement of the campaign.
The error in this case was not in the
administration of the law, but in the law
itself. His Honor did all that he
could to prevent the base imposition,
and several applicants were rejec'
ted. We are more than ever convinced
Of the necessity Of thorough modi6ca-
ton of the naturalization laws. We ven-
ture the prediction, that while the sham
Democracy has gained thirty nine Irish
Catholic votes by the operation, the Amer
lean party has gained more than twice
that number to their Councils Ameri.
canism on the decline, when such scenes
and such farces are acted in the psesence
of virluous and intelligent people! 1t
is preposterous in the extreme. If Amer
lea is destined to be the light Of the polit-
ical world, then the lamp of her destiny
mus, be trimmed by the sons of the men
who first lit up the fires of liberty upon
these distant shores. .....
Would that a capitation tax were exac-
ted from every vessel which imports for
eign paunpers and convicts to our shores,
sufficiently heavy to prevent their land
ing, and then would we have but few ac.
cessions to the ranks of the Democracy
from the Catholic Irish.

suffering from severe hoarseness, they
would not leave until he had said few
words 10 them. After thanking them in
his usual happy style, the crowd quietly
dispersed. This morning a sectional sal
