PENNSYLVANIA. Tho Inquirer (Fillmore
organ) Of Saturday last said the Buchanssr
majority was from 1900 TO 5000. The N.
Y. Evening Post Of the same date says it 10
much smaller, with the result still in doubt.
The last intslligsnos We have 10 70 the effect
that tho Bachanesr majority had been re-
duced BY the otkcial returns that have come
to hand, to 1900.
A Philadelphia correspondent of the N. Y.
Herald, writing on Friday evening, says,
'sIt is sscertained to-day that 5000 Ameri-
can votes were cast for the Democratic tick
ct in this city and county. The most un-
blushing roguery has been shown in Phila-
delphia, and the vote will be contested. VIM.
B. Mann, Republican candidate for District
Attorney, took the 6rst step this morning in
the Court Of Common Pleas. The Repub.
licans believe they can strike of several
thousands OF the Democratic vote by con-
testing the returns.n
UNION ELECTORAL TIeKsr.
Such . ticket as has been alluded to, was
formed in Pennsylvania on Friday last. The
following is the telegraphic dispatch an
nounoing the fact:
HARRISBURG, Oct. 81.
The Union Convention to form % Anti
Buchanan electoral ticket assembled here
this afternoon. Most Of the counties 10 the
State were represented. Lcmuel Todd, of
Cumberland, . Fillmoreite, was selected "a
President Of the Convention. He made al
eloquent speech ON taking the Chair. A
COMMITTEES was appointed 70 form an electo-
raj ticket, who reported the same ticket a.
agreed upon BY the Union Committee at
Philadelphia. A committee was then ap-
pointed to prepare an address With authority
to sign the names Of the members Of the
Convention. The closing scenes Of the Con-
vsntion were very exciting. It adjourned
with three cheers For the ticket.
This 10 = union with the North Americans.
The South Americans run an dependent
Fillmore ticket.
ISDiAxA.--The number Of illegal votes in
Indiana il estimated at not lees than Is, 900.
Many and gross cases have BEEN clearly de-
nonstratsd. The frauds occurred along the
lines Of railroad. At LAporte alone there
were over 500 spurious Buchaaser votes de-
posted. There are not to exceed 1000
votes in the entire town, - has been ascer.
tanned, and yet 500 were cast. And aside
from this obstacle against which the Re-
publicaus had to contend, the Louisville
Journal Of last Saturday says:
"We were inclined to hope that, a. be-
tween Morton (Rep.) and Willard, (Buc.) the
friends Of Fillmore in Indiana would sup
port the former, but We learn that the mas
Of them did not. We have seen . good m q.
ny Of them since the election, who did not
vote at oil. Very many Of them refused to
vote, and our information, strongly confirm
ed by circumstances, is that, Of those who
did vote, quite - many voted for Willard
rs for Morton, and probably more. 1t 10 OBJ
servablc that, in those counties where Fill.
more's greatest strength lies, Willard made
his greatest gains. Without having partic-
ularly examined the details, we are assured
that this 10 universally true"
In November the Fillmoreites will have
their own ticket, and the result viii present
another face, for all that vote will be lost to
the Buchaneers
