who Intended votil>s the Union State Ticket
Tomorrow sill now see what a chance they
are to have in tbeevent OF the succcs OF that
ticket
No one who reads the scheme OF Stevens
As set forth below can fail to observe that II
is q deliberate, well conceived plot to cheat
the Fillmore men in November, Just as they

Union Electoral Ticket.

TO THE ELECTION OF JAMES BUCHANAN.
Action Of tie Union State Committee.
At meeting of the Union State Commit
tee, held pursuant to a call, at Coverly's Ho-
tel, in Harrisburg, on Tuesday, October q,
1856, at o'clock--on motion, Robert NJ.
Palmer, of Schuylkill county, was called to
the chair, and A II. Miller, of Allegheny
county, was appointed Secretary. On mo-
tion, it was
Resolved, That il Is desirable that all the vot
ers of Pennsylvania, opposed to James Buchan
an, the nominee of the Cincincinnati Convention
for the Presidency should unite on the same
electoral ticket equitable terms, and thus Sc
fba Iafo Of
canism and Republicanism -l
Resolced. That we invite the friends Of Fill
more and Fremont in Pennsylvania, TO meet in
mass convention, at the seat of justice of the
several cities and counties ofthe Commonwealth
on Wednesday, the 18th day of October next
and choose twice as many delegates as each city
and county is entitled to members of the Legis-
lature, who will meet in convention at Harris
burg. on Tuesday, the 2lst day OF October next,
to form an electoral ticket To be supported by all
opponents. Of James Buchanan. fl
ResolDed, That we recommend TO the Gonven.
tion thus assembled the formation Of an Union
electoral ticket, upon the following basis:
TweDiy-six electors shall consist of the same
names; thestwenty.seventh elector on the Fill
more ticket shall consist of different name
from the twenty seventh on the Fremont ticket
For example, Millard Fillmore and twenty six
other names elected from the several Congress-
y. Fremont and the same twentysix name
above referred to shall form the other ticket
The twenty-six electors shall be pledged TO cast
the electoral votes Of the State for Milard Fills
more and John q. Fremont, respectively, pre-
csely in proportion To the popular votes cast for
each, as indicated by the twenty seventh elector
on each ticket. For example, If Millard Fillmore
hiIn) receives an equal number of votes with
John Q. Fremont or his representative, then
thirteen electoral votes shall be given for Mllard
Fillmore and thirteen for John O. Fremont.
This will enable every voter to act eiii-
GENTLY against James Buchanan without any
sacrifice of principle. The Fillmore men
vote for him alone, the Fremont men for him
alone, and yet by associated action, they in
crease the chances of each. We think no
one can object to this proposition who is not
in heart in favor Of Buchanan.
ResoiUed, That the State Executive Commit
tees Of the two parties unite on joint before
the meeting Of this Convention, IL IL be recon
mended by the Convention 10 ratify their ac-
tion.
ReSolUed, That no time may be lost after the
Union ticket shall be formed recommend
the delegates from the different districts 20
agree on their respective electors before they
leave home and procure from them the follow
ing written pledge.
"Should be chosen Presidential Flee
tor for the State Of Pennsylvania, hereby
pledge myself 50 to cast the vote of the State
that Millard Fillmore and John c.. Fremont
shall each receive electoral votes equal to
the proportion Of popular votes given to
each, as indicated by the 9th (or leading)
elector on each ticket"
ResOiued, That these proceedings be publish
an Union electoral ticket.
ResOtred, That this Committee do now adj
iourn. ROBT. NJ PALMER. Chairman.
/ A. III. MILLER, Secretary.
