From the Pennsylvania
Pennsylyauia Politics.

For the State ticket to be voted for in Oc-
tober but two sets of nominations have been
made-one by the Democrats, and the other
by a so-called Union Convention, but which
contains upon it three Fremont men, Phelps,
Cochran and Laporte-the former political
disciple of the Abolition school of ex-Gover-
nor johnson, and the latter protege and
tender of the notorious sgitator Wilmot,
while Cochran is also at heart Fremont
man. There are probably no two men in
Pennsylvania more bitterly hostile to Willard
Fillmore than johnson and Wilmot.
And yet Fillmore men are invoked by the
Fillmore presses and councils to support these
nominees, and to assist in their election, for
the purpose of promoting the desperate pros
poets of Fremont in Pennsylvania! The
sworn foes of Willard Fillmore, who had de-
nounced him in the most unmeasured terms
and heaped upor him the most opprobious
epithets. are thus to be assisted, aided and
abetted in their designs, which Fillmore
pronounced to be equivalent to moral treason
and destruction Of the Union, by his pre-
tended friends.
Every vote polled for Phelps, Cochran and
Laporte, is half vote for Fremont. All
men of ordinary sagacity, see and know
this fact and it should come home to every
man who is opposed.tc the triumph of FIRE.
mont, and his sectional, Abolition and disun-
ion principles.
We have no fear for the result of the cleo.
ton in reference to the State ticket;-we be-
lieve that under any circumstances the Dem
ocratic candidates will be elected by a hand
some majority. But one thing is certain; If
the Fremont State ticket is voted for by
none but those whom alone it legitimately
represents, the open and avowed Black Re-
publicans, it will be a minority of $1,000 to
100000 votes in the State of Pennsylvania:
and those who are really friends of Fillmore
must decide for themselves how far they are
willing to assist in reducing the majority
against it, at the bidding of wire -pullers, who
are resolved upon selling them out to the
Black Republicans.
So far as the Electoral Ticket is concern
ed, the fact cannot fail TO strike the most
casual observer, that no Fremont Electors
haze get been nominated in Pennsylvania, and
that no public notice has been given of the
call of any Convention for such a purpose.
There is evidently something mysterious in
this strange delay. Within less than two
months of an election, and no call vet issu-
ed for the assemblsge of Convention to
form Fremont ticket If such ticket is
to be chosen there will be hardly time to
conveniently issue the proper calls in all the
different districts, for the election Of dele
gates by the people. Yet no such call has
been publicly issued. What does il mean {?
Is no avowed Fremont ticket to be formed ?
While this policy is being pursued by the
Black Republicans the Fillmore electoral
ticket is composed Of men unpledged to Fill
mo, some half dozen of whom are well
known to be favorable to Fremont, while
Others are generally believed to be pos
sessed of similar proclivities. We cannot
pretend at present TO explain all this mys-
terry, but it seems quite apparent that de-
sign is on foot to cheat somebody, and to
to win from some portion of the people Of
Pennsylvania votes upon false Pretences.
Are Fremontism and Fillmoreism identical?
If they are, then politics is the veriest cheat
and sham ever invented. If they are not,
how can the respective friends of two can
ddates whose avowed position and princi-
pies are so antagonistical, vote the same
electoral ticket? Is there to be no Fremont
electoral ticket IN the field in Pennsylvania?
Or, is the present Fillmore ticket to be used
by them? Or, is all the present mystery
upon this subjects mere part of the game by
which Stevens proposes to make good his
boast of cheating the Fillmore men Of Penn
sylvania into voting for Fremont
The Congressional nominations through
out the State generally present similar
feature. The only two members of the last
Congress from this region, who voted with
the friends Of Fillmore, Broom and Tyson,
have been thrown overheard, while nearly
all the Black Republican members have been
re-nominated. It is true that the nomina-
tons are generally called "Unions nomi-
nations, but great care has been taken that
no man who would not place himself in the
leading strings Of Seward and Greedy should
be placed upon their ticket.
The Opposition Legislative tickets through
out the State are nearly all so-cslled "Union"
tickets. Cameron has been fixing NM
that matter, for it appears that he has not
yet quite given up his aspirations for the
United States Senatorship, and he has fol-
lowed up his somersct into the American
party, by another somerset into the ranks of
the Black Republicans, over ole Of whose
meetings he lately presided in Harrisburg.
His agents have been busily at work through
out the State, forming Legislative " Union"
tickets, with Disunion Fremonters upor
them for nomination. The Black Repubh-
can prints all appear very proud OF this
distinguished accession" te their ranks.
