From the Sew iork Itunst of Fftday
PENNSYLVANIA.
The election in Pennsylvania is a
substantial defeat OF the Buchanan
party. Their noisy exultation here
and throughout the country, over what
they supposed to be victory, shows
how eagerly they expected success,
and how vital they deemed it to their
cause.
The exultation OF the Fillmore men
was decidedly greater and much more
instructive. The organs ofthat party
had prepared the way for claiming the
honos ofvictery, il the Buchaniers
should be defeated, The Buffalo Cam.
Desrcsal, Mr.. Fillmore's special organ,
reminded the public on the day Of
election, that the Fillmore ticket was
the only one in the field in opposition
to the Democracy, and that defeat oil
the latter woul be aFillmore triumph.
The Consmsrcia1 of this city echoed
the boast, and took special pains TO
proclaim that, under no conceivable
circumstances, would the Fillmore
men allow the vote of the State to be
cast for Fremont, ifthey could help it.
The EnNess, with characteristic ver-
dancy, let out the secret intention OF
its party friends, by saying on the
morning Of the election, that "the
Black Republicans, in order to cover
up their chagrin. achen thsy get Me
neus to-nsolroac that Pennsylsania
las gone-aot for Ffsnaont--scsH
doubtless say, III acas al otoi,ag TO ne
Fillmore msre," thus betraying its be-
lief that their oU,. ticket was to be
defeated, and virtually confessing that
it was to be done by It's ona party, in
order to prevent the Republicans from
claiming victory.
And in this city, as well as through
out this section Of the country, when
it was supposed that the Democrats
had carried the State, nothing could
surpass the exultation of the Fillmore
men. They were perfectly frantic in
their rejoiceings An Eastern stump
orator, returning from his Fillmore
labors in Pennsylvania, made the
New Haven cars ring with theechoes
of his clanaorous Civilizations at the de-
feat of the Black Republicans.
These things render quite probable,
what we believe the official returns
will render certain, that tie aettce
leadHs Of. the Fi4more party reted
and aoorked for the Baehanan ticker.
We do not believe they were true to
the union into which they had entered
or to the principles by which they
protested 10 be governed Hatred to
the Republican cause and candidate
has been. ana still is, tie controlling
sentiment Of their hearts And what
ever professions they may put forth, =
whatever pronli5css they make, they
will vote Tor Buchanan and will carry
over to his support all the Amerlca
whom they can coutrol. If they
should be admitted to an oatensible
alliance with the Republican party,
they would betray ana destroy it, If
they should have the power. We
have ye1y little doubt that Mr.. Fill
more himself would preferfhe election
OF Buchdnsn TO that Of Fymonts and
the wire pullsrs will labor 70 the ut.
most 10 secure that result. i s-s-4..s
We cannot but regard any attempt
at further union, therefore, as pregnant
with danger to the Republican cause.
1t induces reliance upon men who
will prove false. Ii is simply taking
traitors into council The great mass
Of Americans in Pennsylvania-those
who are honest in their attachment to
principle, and who are also firm in
their hostility to the extension OF Sla-
very-must be thoroughly convinced
of the heartIess treachery of their lead
els, and OF the necessity OF voting for
Fremont ii they hope to defeat Bn-
chanan.
The German vote, which has not
been cast to any great extent for the
Fillaore State ticket, will be all the
larger for Fremont, without any at
tempt at union with the Americans,
and the contest will be waged directly
upon principle. The Fillmore men
can then vote for their candidate on a
separate ticket if they dare, indeed
they will be compelled to do 80 in or
der to leave upon the returns any re
cord of their existence.
fla union Of all opposed to Buchan-
an, can be made upon prercipte,--
one that win be sincere, honest and
cordial, we are III favor Of it. But
we should regret any attempt topatch
up a union with men who care moth
ing for principle, and whose'goyerning
motive is malignant hatred Of Re
publican candidate We prefer that
the people Of Pennsylvania should be
put directly TO the test If they pre-
Ter Slavery and slave rule, let them
have it. Ii they prefer Freedsm and
the ascendency Of Free Principles,
they know how to secure it.
