Ny Dear Sir 81 am quite familiar al
ready with The condition Of different par
ties in PtnnsylyH MIA. and deplore Il as
profoundly as any man in the country.
and if ! could persuade myself that |
could exercise the influence you. ascribe

gagcments nor private convenience to de-
tain me 70. an hour al home. But fear
that could not. and that. the attempt it.
self would be regarded as presumptuops
and officiuus.
This much have no hesitation in say
ing. that it has been, and is, incumpre-
hensible to me. how any Intelligent, re
fiecting man, who earnestly desires, the
election Of Mr.. Fillmore. can hesitate for a
moment in voti tie Union Ticket. BY
| which means he makes sure Of votes
enough 70 defeat Mr.. Buchanan and send
Mr.. Fillmore TO the H Juse. where from
FIRST to last. his only chance for election
has rested. Every cot. for the straight oul
Fillmore ticket IS a vote thrO,Dn array ); il
does him no mole good than il each sep
arate vote were given for some other and
separate man whereas. if given for the
Union Ticket. it must secure 10 him an
electoral vote in proportion to the popular
vote given for him. 5Is-2 '"5.
Iimpute unworthy motives to nobody
but must shy III. re IS something IN this
movement on tie purt Of NJ. Fillmore that
does not appear on The surface, and is ut

honest and upright purposes. '.-' d.

is SO we'll calculated to foster and cncour,
age the spirit OF disunion. that has been
openly advocated by the leaders Of the
Buchanan party, as to place the govern
ment for the next four years. in the hands
of the nulifers. secessionists and dIsunion
lists OF the South. II that spirit is no
s,ernly retuked by the indignant voice o
the people next week, By the defeat o
Mr. Buchanan. (alfhough shall not re-
lax my exertions to sayeit) yet will say
this. that people have manifested sucl
utter disregard for the continuance tn,
Union as that its friends will feel every
where disappointed and dismayed. and L
a great extent disarmed for future exer
tons. I consider the responsibility .fo
the security or our institutions. aud. 70
our future devotion to the Union, as rest

their power to roll back the tide that il
