The twenty six electors are pledged to
cast the votes of the State in the Electoral
College fer the respective candidates for
the Presidency aud Vice Presidency in ex-
act proportion TO the popular vote given to
each ticket. This forms complete union
of the opposition strength ia Pennsylvania,
while it enables every voter to indicate his
preference Of the Pennsylvania candidates,
without any compromise of bis principles.
Every vote given to the Fremont ticket
counts in favor of the principles and candi-
dates Of the Republican and North Ameri>
can parties respectively, and every vote
given 70 the Fillmore ticket counts in favor
Of the Fillmore aud Donelson party, aud
win be fully represented in the final result.
The undersigned now cali upon all who
are opposed to slavery extension over free
territory-to the increase Of slave repre-
sentaton in the federal government, and
TO the Cincinnati platform and its candi-
dates-and upousall who desire to preserve
The peace and the honor of the country, and
faithfully to sustain the constitutional
rights of every section of it, to cooperate
with them in this contest for Union, Liber-
ty and Justice. 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 degrade American citizens
By yitiating its safe guards at the ballot
box.
The undersigned have appointed COM
mittee to prepare an address to the people,
which will be published in few days.
We are happy to announce that entire
unani,nify existed in the proceedings of the
committees, and no doubt is entertained
that the result from common efforts to Sc
cure the adoption of the Union electoral
tickets now presented, will be hailed With
satisfaction by every citizen of Penusylya-
MIA, who is honestly hostile to the Cinein-
natl platform and the election Of james Bu-
ehanan to the Presidency.

The increase of 1i,217 votes within Ave
months is so enormous, that no one can pre-
tend for moment that il is legitimate in
crease. At the election of May last, there
was great excitement aud a full vote was
out. That there should be an increase Of
11,217 votes in Eve months is utterly be-
yond belief. The frauds rumored must bave
been fully carried out. It's the perpetra-
ton of such outrages as this that is to put
our institutions to the test. The people can
not long endure their repetition.

GREAT FRAUDS IN PHIbADEL-
PHIA

Wewish every American citizen would
carefully read the subjoined article from
the Philadelphia Bnlletin. it clearly proves
that the sanerify of the ballot-box was most
saamelessly violated At the late election.
No city in the United States has ever
polled so large vote as thatoast bg Phiia-
delphia yesterday. Although the returns
are probably not all fully reported, it still
exceeds, BY ll,2l7 votes, the entire poll fer
Mayor in May last. We give below sum-
mary of the entire votes of the city at all
the important elections since 1878:

70 THE AMERICANS OF
PENNsYEVANEA.

There can be no denial that we, the un-
dersigned, have been, aud are, both Ameri-
cans aud Fillmore men. We have watched
the progress of the canvass with profound
attention, worthy Of the cause and times
From circumstances but recently brought 10
light, we are satisfied that plans have been
maturing to hand over the entire American
party to the Democratic platform. In the
address Of Chas. Gibbons. Esq, chairman
Of ihe Republican State Executive Commit
tee. be states, that on the 18th of Septen,-
Der resolution vas passed BY the Ameri-
can State Committee in favor Of any honor
able arrangement with tue friends Of Fre-
mont aud Dayton, to defeat Mr.. Buchanan.
We have investigated this fact, and find
that such a tesolution was passed. This
fact bas been studiously concealed from tbe
American party of tins city and State 1t
is now the time to speak plainly. The
chairman Of our Fillmore State Committee
! is not now, nor vas be ever connected with
cur American party, nor do we think that
we should allow even the entife Executive
Committee to stultify our cause and to con
sign US to cntire defeat BY their ely.of
stlaight line american ticket. NIr. Sander
son does not believe (for he says sol that
the Fillmore Electoral ticket can be elect
ed. lis mere question of how many
votes can We poll as a torlorn hope There
can no evil resuls 10 US ty uniting upon a
Uuion Electoral Ticket upon National
grounds. The proposition is to form one
ticket beaded with Filmore's name, and
another ticket headed with Fremont's name,
and The yete in the college to be cast for
each candidate according to the number Of
votes polled by each ticket. Can anything
be fairer than thisq We are ever Fillmore
men, and can SO express ourselves BY oar
votes; and orr common political enemy, who
stands on . platform entirely ininical TO
American principles, may be defeated We
are, BY this means, securing votes in the
Electoral college for Fillmore, where We
would rot have one Without il. It resolves
| itself into question OF utter defeat, BY ad-
vccating our candidate in one mode, or Of
obtaining for our candidate, by another
mode, fair p.oportion of the electoral vote
! of pennsxlyania.
/! For ourselves, We know the responsible
ties VIC assume, and we believe that our
American friends throughout the Union
will thank US after the canvass is oEer.-
Yesterday we should not have made such a
| proposition. To day We DO, because We are
sure that treachery is being attempted, and
we are not willing that our American Par
! ty which we love as we love our political
| existence, shall be handed over as body
for the use Of the mis- named demoeratis
party, against which we have been battling
since the organization Of the American
party.

THE WAY THEY Do 1T.

The Loeofoco politicians have long been
famous for their bold frauds In connection
with The ballot-box. A marked illustration
Of their adeptness in the business we have
in Wisconsin. The Legislature 10 that
State has just concluded its session and ad-
journed. Phe judiciary committee OF the
Senate TO whom was entrust ted the matter Of
inquiry into the alledged frauds in the State
canvass last fall, have reporte d..that Bash
ford's majority was rightfully about six
thousand. Ii will be remembered that
Barstow, Democrat, was originally returned
as elected By fraud; that in pursuance of
that return be seized upon the Office, threa-
tened to sustain himself in it by force, and
in that position. was upheld by the Democrat
10 Legislature, Since then the frauds have
been proven, some Of the Democratic iaeiil-
5ers Of the Legislature have turned Repub-
licans, aud the whole thug has thus been
exposed.

Frauds In Pennsylvania.

4.
A private despatch received from Phil
adeIphia last night states that the estimated
number of fraudulent votes introduced bf
the efforts, the money, the bribery, the
trickery, and general rascality Of the sham
democrats is from twenty to forty Thousand
There is no doubt, from facts which have
already trabspired, that more than five
hundred thousand dollars were expended By
the sham democrats In the PENNSYLVANIA
election. It was The last expiring effort of
the asquatter soyereigns.n Our reliable
friends assure US that, we're the battle to be
fought over again tomorrow, they would
give 10000 majority for the Union ticket,
and that Buchanan will lose Pennsylvania
onthe 4sh of Noyen.ber, by from forty to
sixty thousand votes.
Hundreds OF men we're :.oa the fence"
who will nov take their positions. Hun
dTeds and thousands Of business men who
viii vote for Fillmore, and the reason Is as
signed thus; The merchants and taanufac-
turers who deal with the South, were not
wiling TO show any partiality towards Re-
publicanism, and were afraid their South
cru customers would impute this Partially
to them if they voted the Union ticket,
though formed long before Fremont was
nominated; whilst no such isnputation could
be made on them for supporting Fillmore in
November, as he is quite as much, il not
more respected and confdcd IN BY the
South than Mr., Buchanan. Ii is believed
hat bis opponents viii carry the city and
county Of Philadelphia by fve thousand
majority.

We understand, says the Boston Travel
Ter, that the Associated Press of the Uni-
ted States are making the most extensive
and thorough preparations to collect from
all parts Of the Union this side cf the Rocky
Mountains, the result of the Presidential
Election on the fourth day of next month.
In the State of Pennsylvania, for instance,
there is a very large extent Of territory,
with, in many places, bad roads. In this
State alone, several thousand dollars will be
expended, and if there is no failure Of agents
a decisive indication of the result there viii

State of New York. AS soon, therefore,
as the polls close on the 4th day of Novem-

will begin. Horses, locomotives and the

common centre the returns OF the various
States, where they will be put into shape
and again transmitted to every State and

CHARCOAL AND SALT FOR Hoes
One of the best articles that can be
given to swine, while confined, is char
coal, pulyerised, and common salt.
Saltand sulphur are very good articles
and should be constantly supplied.
We would not, however, be under
stood as urging the necessity Of
keeping these articles continually
by them, or introducing them dali
~ into their food. The first is to
obyiate the bad tendency of certain
kinds of aiiment and should be sup
piled in quantities varying from one
pint to two quarts, as often as once Of
twice a week. Salt should always
be introduced as a seasoning in food
When it is not SO used, it. should be
given once or twice a week. or it may

SHEEP. Keep in a trough, under
cover, accessible to your sheep, from
now until fall tar and salt. Every
few days tar should be strewn over
the bottom of the trough, and salt
over the tar The sheep in eating
the salt will smear their noses with
the tar, and thus will they be armed
with a repellant against the fly that
deposits eggs in their nostrils that
causes worms in the head.
