NEW YORK, Oct. g. 1856.
An important political movement is on foot here.
During the past few days, frequent conferences Of
National Union men, from every State in the Con
fe ieracy, have been held The result is that great
Union movement a movement calculated to rebuke,
abash and crush out the spirit of disunion now so
extensively rampant-h has been projected The LOYAL
men, the true patriots in the land are to be brought
and bound together anew. Delegations of citizers
from every State are to be invited to visit our sacred
places the tombs of the Hermitage Ashland Marsh
field, Monticello, Mount Vernon and the prominent
Fields, whereon for the sake Of this Union was
commingled, without distinction the blood of North
err, Southern Eastern, and Western patriots there
TO meet conservative, Union-oving masses Of the
people, for differentiation for counsel and for nvo-
cation In the present crisis of the patriotism of the
whole country; In exclusion of demagoguism sec
tonalism, and fanaticsm, from any and every quar-
ter, on behalf of the Constitution and the Union.
The proia has enkindled great enthusiasm. It Is
regarded as the harbinger of peace and good will to
the troubled nation. The movement consummated
1t is believed, will entomb sectional strife and bind
until eradicated, within narrowest limits the treas.
enable spirit of disunion which is fast rendering
"alen to each other those who ought to be bound
together by fraternal affection which threatens with
overthrow the palladium of our political safety and
prosperity"
We received yesterday the above circular d.
rect from the Executive Committee Of the
North Americans" and we rejoice thatloyalty
to the Union will be cherished by the North
Americans, as sacred principle. Let them
stand squsrely and firmly upon the "Ameri-
can platform" and support it, in all its points.

Preparations fsr enormous frauds have been made
in view of eapproaching election in Pennsylvania.
In Philadelphia it appears that between ten and ff
teen thousand names have been added TO the extra
assessment lists, mainly by the Democracy. There
are four thousand in Mllward's district alone.
These facts, together with the circumstance that the
Commissioners have determined pot to publish the
names and residences is usually done, assigning
the reason that appropriation had been made for
such publication BY the Democratic Councils, have
excited much feeling showing they do a manifest
design TO carry the election BY rand. The colombo
ton process has been mauaged principally BY re-
cruts from New Jersey.
We are also informed that several thousand for
eigners have been recently naturalzed in Pennsylva-
mia, nearly all Of whom will vote tho Democratic
ticket

A letter from highly Intelligent gentleman
who resides in the county Of Hon. James A.
Pearce's residence, says, under date Of 9th
instant:
ave are fully aroused in This section Of the State,
and will faithfully do our duty Our county viii sig
naliy rebuke the Hon. j. A. Pearce. His detection
will do much good the honest yeomanry will show
that they led by man. and that they think and
act for themselves.
Those politicians who supposed they could
control the present movement of the masses OF
the people, with whom the American Retor-
nation" originated, will find themselves most
wofully disappointed
Having occasion now again thus 10 refer to
Senator Pearce and his influence in the pres
emit contest, we take occasion TO do an act Of
justice to ourself and to our press, on the ques-
ton of his alleged application TO President
Fillmore for a judicial appointment Our read
ers are aware that some weeks ago our assist
ant stated that Senator Pearce had 80 applied,
and that his application was rejected on the
grounds he then stated. lie was so informed
by gentleman of high character for truth, but
who, it is evident, was mistaken. We stated
subsequently thereto that we should ascertain
how the fact was, and right ourself on this
question, if found in the wrong We have as
certained, to our entire satisfaction, that the
charge was made upon erroneous information.
We had previously heard similar state
ment of his applying for such position, and In
former article, written by ourself, we had
made allusion to it, but in different form,
under the impression that the rumor was well
founded. We know fa0so that it was not well
founded, and we have to say, that had Senator
Pearce thought proper to contradict the state
ment by addressing us, and to ask correc-
ton of it ly US, we would have corrected it
with pleasure. He chose to pursue a different
course, and we are precluded, by that chosen
course, from going further than to put ourseLf
right in the matter. Senator Pearce, we are
satisfied, was never an applicant to Mr.. Fill
more for judicial position,
His support of Mr.. Buchanan, then, rests
on other grounds than those OF disappoint-
ment or chagrin at not receiving fayors at the
hands of Mr. Fillmore
OF those other grounds we know nothing,
and care just as much. He has right to sup
port the nominee of the Cincinnati Platform
if he chooses to do SO, even though he holds,
as we understand, no opinion in common with
those who framed it--or with him who has
been placed upon it. He has right to believe,
if he chooses to disregard the multiplying evil
dences around him to the contrary, that /" Mr.
Fillmore has no chance, and he has right to
act upon that belief and we have right to
say, and do say, that Senator Pearce has at
least not increased his reputation for sagacity,
by adopting an idea, Jointly and Simultaneous
ly put forth by the Republicans and "squatter
sovereigns," and in which the wish was father
to the thought"
