Psnnszlvania Election.

The Fuslonlsts are moving heaven ana
Earth, in political sense, to carry the Oc-
tober elections in Pennsylvania. An almost
perfect combination of the FILLMORE and
Fremont parties exists, so far as the State
ticket is concerned. The great effort of the
FREMoNFER's is to use the influence OF the
October election, SO as to make 1t tell upon
the November election in Pennsylvania, and
in other States. If they can elect the fusion
ticket, or if they can come within few thou
sand votes of electing it, they will then pro-
claim that the State is safe for Fremont, and
that BUCHANAN is defeated. There is every
probability that the Democratic State ticket
viii succeed, bat if it should not triumph
over hecombined votes of Know Nothings
and AbolitiOnists in October, it will easily
give Mr.. BUCHANAN large majority in No
yember, when the votes of the FILLMORE and
Fremont men will be divided, and cast for
the several and separate tickets of Electors.
FILLMORE has regular set of Electors already
in the field, and FREMONT will have another
ticket in his favor, at least as soon as the
State election is over. There will be no
unity or fusion at the Presidential election,
and deadly hostile fight is brewing between
the two factions in November. The Cincin-
natl Enquirer, in speaking on this subject,
observes :
The Contest in Psnnsylvanis-The State Elec-
ton in October Facts for the People to
Understand.
We lately had a conversation with an active
and intelligent Democrat of this city, who has
spent several weeks in Pennsylvania in regard
TO the prospects in that State He informs us
that the Democracy are in the highest spirits,
and are carrying on the campaign with great
industry and vigor. They feel perfectly san
guine Of carrying the State for Mr.. Buchanan in
November next, by majority of twenty thou
sand, and many of the best Judges are conf
dent of beating the Fillmore and Fremont men
combined in the October election. Two of the
nominees are understood to be Black Republi-
cans, and one of them is for Fillmore. Even
should this Union State ticket be elect
ed in October, which event is barely possible,
il would be no evidence that the State would
not go for Mr.. Buchanan. 1t would simply
prove that Fillmore and Fremont combined have
greater numbers than the Democracy; but when
separated, as they will be in November, upon
different electoral tickets, Mr.. Buchanan will
carry the State. The result in October in
Pennsylvania can, in no possible event, be a
Fremont triumph, since they have the benefit of
abe Fillmore strength, which they cannot have
in November. Intelligent persons well under
stand this fact.

We learn that the Americans of Pennsyl-

There is running in Pennsylvania a Union
State ticket, which was nominated about four
months sgo-before Fremont was brought out,
by convention opposed to the National Ad-
ministration, and no other issue. This
ticket is In no sense Fremont ticket, either as
relates to the time and mode it was brought into
the field, or the character of the men Of whom

evidence OF the strength of the Republican
party, which, as yet, has no electoral ticket in
the feld-the Presidential contest being con-
fined to Fillmore and Buchanan. Fremont in

this statement thus explicit because it will

monters here and elsewhere to claim the result
In October as a Fremont success, when there is
nothing in the contest that warrants the shadow
of such a conclusion.
The American party in Pennsylvania and
everywhere else will stand by its principles and
candidates; and especially will it resent the
idea of coalescing with sectionalism, for sue
cess thus attained would be disgrace in itself
and permanent injury to the country.
We copy the above in order that the Demo-
Gratis may understand the true nature of the
contest in Pennsylvania in October, and not
be deceived as to its result. We have san
guine hopes that the Democratic State ticket
will be elected in October over both the Fill
more and Fremont men, and should such be
the case the Presidential contest would be
then decided. But, in any event, Mr. Bu-
ehaaan is sure of the electoral vote of the
State by large majority over either of his
competitors.
