in such consolidated trent gives uneasiness to every
true friend of the Union
The electoral vote of Pennsylvania is S76, 600
OF this nsmber the democrats think they still hold
! a clear majority. We fear, however, that the res
suit will show that of that number
Fremont can carry 100000
Fillmore -" 43 OO0-l93, 900
Buchanan" $4,000
Total. $4,000
1t will be seen from this calculation that whilst
Buchanan's vote is greater thar Fremonts BY
SO 600, and greater than Fillmores by 100000
the Fremont and Fillmore vote combined would
make 5000, and greater than Buchanan's BY To-
600.
The fusion Of the Fremont and Fillmore forces
in the State election to take place the l4th, is
thorough and complete, and unless we have over es
limated their strength which trust will prove to
be the case, their corrupt combination is likely TO
to carry the State by 10000 majority. The came
fusion exists in Indiana.
1t will thus be seen that though the democracy
may be defeated in The State election, with a sepa-
rate Fremont and Fillmore electoral ticket in Mo-
Vember, Buchanan can carry Pennsylvania by 49,
600 majority The only question Of uncertainty is,
whether the Fremont and Fillmore parties will be
distinct in November. The indications that they
will not, but will act together upon some system Of
fraud and corruption.
Trusting to the patriotism Of the masses in so
dangerous a crisis, will still hope that our north
orn friends will be able as they think they WILL to
triumph over all the reasonable Vaccinations and
designs.
One point stands prominent in this con-
feSsion-that Buchanan cannot, as things
now stand, carry Pennsylvania either in
October or November. No matter to what
cause this result may be attributed by our
neighborS, The fact stands admitted that Buch-
dnan cannot carry his O1on State either nO,o or
in November If he cannot carry Pennsyl'
vania or Indiana, pray what Northern State
can he carry? We answer, just what we
have said all the while--none at all.
But some one may ask, how does the
admission of the Union and american prove
that Fillmore, rather than Fremont, will
carry Pennsylvania in November? The
answer is apparent-there is no Fremont
ticket in the State, and we presume will
not be, for there is not time enough to
start one. How can Fremont win race,
in which he is not known? The contest in
November will be between Fillmore and
Buchanan, and, if Buchanan be defeated,
as it is admitted he will be, Fillmore must
as surely succeed. There can be nothing
simpler or clearer than this. Our neigh
bors have made but one error: instead of
giving an antidemocratic majority of ten
thousand in November, they ought to have
given Fillmore thirty or forty thousand.
This would have been nearer the true
mark.
But our neighbors assert that this result
will be effected by 'some system of fraud
and corruption;" in other words, by COM
bination between the friends of Fillmore
and Fremont. But we utterly deny, and
challenge the editors of the Union and
american to the proof, that Mr.. Fillmore
or bis friends have ever proposed or acced-
ed to anything either corrupt or dishonora-
BILE in the State of Pennsylvania or else
where. Suppose it to be true, that FIRE.
monters in that State will vote the Ameri-
can ticket in November, what does it prove?
Only that, having the balance Of power,
and being unable to carry the State them
selves, they prefer the election Of Mr..
Fillmore to that Of Buchanan. Mr.. Fill

He has entered into no understanding with
them. If they choose to vote for him,
they have right to do so, and they do it
on the ground, that he is better man

and Indiana are composed of national Fill.
more men. There is not a single Fremonter
or Black Republican on either Of them.
They will cast the entire electoral vote OF
both these States for Mr. Fillmore. They
will not throw away a single vote, nor cast
one for Fremont. They are as true to the
Union and Constitution as the electors OF
any Southern State We now defy the
Union aud American to disprove one single
statement we have made by any established
fact.
If the admission Of the UHioR ana
AHaerioaH be true, the grave question arises
here, what ought the South to do! We
answer that it ought to go for Mr.. Fill.
more, because he is the only man who can
carry a single Northern State against
Fremont. lie can certainly carry New
York, New Jersey and California. The
South ought to vote for him, as the stronger
man, and for the purpose Of keeping the
election out Of the House of Representa-.
tives. The running Of Buchanan can only
have this result, which Democrats have
heretofore professed so much to deprecate.
To show that we have nothing but the
true interests Of the South in view, in what
we have said, we again propose to the De-
mocraey Of Tennessee what has already
been proposed TO them in Virginia, Florida
