Penns " ania opposed TO James Buchanan. the noin
nee OF tie Cincinnati Convention for the Presidency
should unite on the electoral ticket on equitable

Tw enty six electors shnl consist of the same
The tweDty-seyenh elector on the Fillmore ticket shall
onsiei ola different from the twenty seventh

and tsentysx other names selected from the several
Cong al Dis'rcts snail form tick t and John

thc State for N lard Fillmore and John &. Fremont
respectively, precisely in proportion to the popular
vote cart f each, indicated by the twenty seycnh
e'ctor each ticket. For example, if MIard Fill
