LITTLE PLAIN TALK.

Last week we made mention of the new tao
tics employed by the Locofoco leaders-that
their whole object was TO get up split be-
tween the Fillmore and Fremont men, and en-
able Buchanan to glide in between them into
Presidential chair. Though their efforts have
in great measure failed, the fact cannot be
disguised that in few localities they have
succeeded in stirring up wrong feeling. The
means which they are using, are certainly cal
culated TO sustain the well-earned reputation of
the Locofocos for being adopts in political CHI
canery and trickery. When they thought that
Fillmore was the man against whom they had
70 contend, their blows were all aimed at him
they stigmatized him as the ''darll -lantern''
candidate, the nominee of the s.midnight ca al
lers." &c. But finding, after Fremont was
nominated, that this mode of warfare was cal
cnlated to unite the Opposition forces on the
latter, they found themselves necessitated to
change their assault, and aim their shafts at
Fremont instead Of Fillmore. There were
some obstacles in the way, but the cunning of
the LocOfoco wireworkers did not fail in devil
sing plan by which they might be overcome,
and the idea of creating a schism in the Oppo-
sition ranks, by fostering an irreconcilable
third party movement, evidently suggested it.

To the People OF clearhold County.


There is undoubtedly, in Pennsylvania a
large majority against the party which sup
ports Buchanan and upholdS the policy of the
present National Administration. Nothing
is needed but Union and united action on the
part of those who oppose ii to insure success
Being united Oh the State ticket, our success
as to it becomes morally certain. Our sue
cess in the State as TO the Presidency becomes
equally certain by united action. 1t is ascer-
tanned that such united action can be attained
by Union Electoral ticket, which will give
to both Mr.. Fillmore and Mr.. Fremont electo-
raj votes IN proportion to their strength. We
firmly believe that such n Rnion will be form
ed and that the State will be carried against
buchanan. But to secure this we should all
lend our efforts to promote harmony of feel
ing, and concert of action. Those who op-
pose this are IN reality working for Buchanan,
whether they mean il or not. 1t is now the
object of our opponents to foster division a.
mong US, and the better to accomplish their
purpose they enlist when they can politicians
IN our our own ranks to carry out their plans.
Some who are honest IN their convictions NAV
be ensnarcd by such devices without fully
comprehending the scheme. 1t must, howev-
er, be evident to every thoughtful mind that
to create hostility between us is to aid Bucha-
nan, and that whoever seeks to do it is work
ing against us, and not for u.s.
We therefore recommend to all who are on
posed to the party supporting James Buchan-
an, WITHOUT regarding their preference as to
Fillmore or Fremont to form Union Clubs in
every township and Borough, agreeing upon
the following principles:
lst To oppose the Election OF James Bu-
chanan.
I'd TO support the Union State ticket, and
the Union District ticket.
Sd To favor the formation of a State Union
Electoral ticket.
4th For the sake of Union to act in concert
and resist all efforts and schemes tending to
divide US, come from what quarter they may.
Resolved, That we endorse the Union State
ticket, and that we will give the candidates
which compose it, our hearty support.
Resolred, That we endorse and will support
the nomination of James S. Myers, for Con-
gress in this district, believing him to be a
sound and patriotic American, and we'll quail
fled to discharge the duties Of the office.
Resolred, That we will give our undivided
and hearty support to the County ticket pla-
ced in nomination this day, and will use every
honorable means to secure its success.
