meet at Harrisburgh on the 2lst instant.
"And, II this invitation be not accepted, then,
ResotUed, That the said committee be in
| structed to invite the Fillmore and Donelson
| State Committee to meet with us, for the pur-
pose of forming an electoral ticket on some
other basis, which will be likely to receive the
support of the people of this State opposed to
the Cincinnati platform and the election of
James Buchanan"
The Fillmore State Committee returned q
decided negative to the overtures of both par
ties, and resolved to make no alterations in the
Fillmore and Donelson Electoral ticket already
nominated.
On the evening of the 18th, the Republican
and the North American State Committees,
and portion, it is said, of the Fillmore Com
mittee, met in the Republican Rooms, Phila-
delphia, and agreed to form Union Electoral
ticket, "upon the basis proposed by the Union
State Committee, in their call for Union State
Convention, to be held in Harrisburgh on the
2lst instant, to wit twenty-six names in COM
mon, the twentyseventh name to be different
on the tickets voted for by the Fillmore and
Fremont men, respectively; the vote of the elect
ors, IT chosen, to be cast pro rata, according
to the vote given for the twenty-seven names,
| respectively. 1t was also agreed that the elect
oral ticket to be voted for by the Fremont men
| should be headed by the name of John c. Ere.
| mont, and that to be voted for by the Fillmore
| men, by the name of Willard Fillmore.
"The following is the electoral ticket chosen,
| the Fillmore ticket being the same, except in
| the leading name:
Electors ut Ldrge.-John c. Fremont !;
| General James Irwin, of Centre county.
ave omit the district electors
There are now, then, three electoral tickets

| we may add, allege that no political friend Of
his had anything to do with the formation Of
this Union ticket-that it is the production of
Fremont's friends alone-and that it will be re-
| pudiated by the friends of Fillmore"
An address, signed by those who took part
in forming the Union Electoral ticket is pub
lished in the Philadelphia papers. The names
include FIVE protested Fillmore men, twenty
| seven Republicans, and twenty-seven North
Americans, the latter headed by Ex-Governor
Johnston. The address says:
"The twenty-six electors are pledged to cast
the votes of the State in the Electoral College
| and Vice Presidency, in exact proportion to the
popular vote given to each ticket This forms
complete union of the opposition strength in
| pennsylvania, while it enables every voter to
| indicate his preference of the Presidential can.
dldates without any compromise of his princi-
| Piles. Every vote given to the Fremont ticket
counts in favor of the principles and candidates
of the Republican and North American parties,
respectively, and every vote given to the Fill
more ticket counts in favor of the Fillmore
and Donelson party, and will be fully represent
| ed in the final result.
| "The undersigned now call upon all who are
opposed to Slavery extension over free territory
to the increase of slave representation in the
Federal Government and to the Cincinnati
| platform aud its candidates, and upon all who
| desire to preserve the peace and the honor of
the country, and faithfully to sustain the con-
sttutlonal rights of every section of it, to CO.
| operate with them in this contest for Union,
| Liberty, and Justice
| 1--WE solemnly invoke their active and earnest
efforts to overthrow that sectional organization
which seeks to force Slavery upon free people
at the point of the sword, and degrades Ameri-
can citizens by vitiating its safeguards at the
| ballot-boX.
"We are happy to announce that entire
unanimity existed in the proceedings of the
| committees, and no doubt is entertained that
| the result from common efforts to secure the
| adoption OF the union electoral ticket now pre-
sented will be hailed with satisfaction by every
citizen of Pennsylvania, who is honestly hostile
to the Cincinnati platform and the election of
James Buchanan to the Presidency"
| ELECTION NEws.-It is rather remarkable
that the returns from the elections in Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, and Indiana are still uncertain
and confused.
| 1t is conceded that the Republican majority
in Ohio is about 10000; but, as was expected,
the Buchanan men have gained in the Con-
gressional delegation, electing probably mem
bers. They claim 8 of the 81; but we shall
not believe this, till the evidence be produced
Mr.. Galloway, one of the best members of the
present House, is, we deeply regret to say, de-
feated; and it is reported, that Cooper K. Wat
son, another of our stanch men, has lost his
election. So far as we can ascertain, the losses
have been ocGasioned by the diversion pro-
duced by the Know Nothings.
1t is admitted that Willard, the Buchanan
candidate for Governor, in Indiana, is elected
by small majority, not over 5000, it is be-
lieved. As to the Congressional delegation,
the Buchanan prints claim that they have s
members, the Republicans 3, while the returns
from the remaining three districts are yet in
doubt We shall put down the delegation, till
| further returns, as Buchanan men, Re-
publcans.
| 1t is marvellous that we can have nothing
more definite from Pennsylvania. The large
majority at first claimed by the Buchanan
party on the State ticket, has already shrunk
to about 3,000 and it is not unlikely, that, as
the official canvass proceeds, there will be q
still further decrease. The Buchanan men
claim Is of the Congressman elect, but the
Republicans conoede them only 10.
The NeW York EUening Post says
