The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1856-09-30


While we feel quite confident that Mr. Buchanans vote
will not differ materially from the above figures it may be
that we have over-esmaed Mr. Fremonts strength and
under-esimaed Mr.. Fillmores. Many of the original
knownothngs in Pennsylvania and who still in full
communion with the order open and active in the
OF black ropublicanism. How many occupy this
anomalous position be known until they show their
hands in November next STILL fusion or no fusion, the
opposition will not be able to poll than 900 votes
which would be increase of 1854 votes compared with
the combined opposition vote of 1852.
If our figures correct-if upon our own showing,
there is clear majority of 10000 in the State for
Mr. Buchanan over the combined vote of the black
republicans and know-nothings-why is it that solicit
tude is felt in many quarters in regard to the issue
of the October election? This question is suscept-
IDLE of easy solution. Without allowing for the
large vote which Mr. Buchanan will receive from
personal considerations, it will be recoeced that
general rule the at elections for State officers is
smaller-and often much smallerthan the presidential
elections On full vote the majority party always
the gamers diminished the minority of the OPP
position is much less apparent In the pending can
for State officers in Pennsylvania there are but
two tickets in the feld-the democratic and the flu
a diminished vote, that the relative majority-rela-
tive compared with the estimated majority fer the
democratic presidential electorscan be preserved for the
democratic State ticket If the opposition should fully
unite on the fusion ticket it will be with their whole
strength leaving nothing in for the November
Again As have before stated divisions exist in
several districts among friends in regard to the local
tickets Unless these divisions healed once we must
look for further decrease in the democratic of the
State at the October election.
Under all these disadvantages and rawbacks we en-
terrain doubts in regard to the result OF the October
contest That majority viii be much smaller the State
than the presidential election reduced matter
tanty That the October but the mere prelude to
one Of the most overwhelming iumphs achieved by
the democracy Of feel as certain of as we
feel assared Of existence To doubt what will be
the recorded voice Of with her Buchan
an in the field as the standardbea7er Of the democratic
party would be TO reject such evidences rational
most willingly adoIt in fasPning opinions or arriving at
conclusions Never have the democracy Of
entered into contest with more ZEAL determination and
enthusiasm than in the one now pending. The whole
State appears be turned into grand glorious
meeting Of exulpg democrats responding with voice and
pies from the North and the South the East and the
West That readers may for Themselves the extent
