The Prospects in Pennsylvania for Fremont at the November
Etdion-Tne Proposed Electoral Union Ticket Penn,
syluansa, in November nert, Explained.
Pennsylvania is safe for Fremont, anyhow both now
and next November The northern and western counties
the other side Of the mountains ignore Fillmore He
hardly mentioned heard Of in that section Of the
country and the majortes for Fremont there viii be
overwhelming
This information may be depended upon; the Buchanan
but too conscious OF it, In 1852 these counties
gave large majority for Pierce, but such is the spirit
abroad that al accounts agree in saying there
manner Of doubt they will give Fremont much larger
majority than they gave Pierce. gentleman residing
in Susquehar nah county tells that 200 msjoryis sure
for Fremont in that county alone, and the democrats
know and confess It,
There is 10 danger, therefore, even Fremont runs
separate ticket against the two other candidates. The
danger is still less if Is likely, and as they have
recently done in Connecticut the Know Nothings and
Buchanan sho. Id unite upon one ticket and that
Buchanan being dropped aud Fillmore taken up the party
Governor Floyd intimated, should 60 for FIJI more
The pro slavery parties being fused thus into oae
would render Fremonts triumph less brilliant and
greatly diminish his majority.
But in the event supposed, is certain Fremont would
whip the fused parties Hrs because the Fillmore party
has no strength in Pennsylvania except here in the
mining districts. In the northern and western
counties, the mountains, II hardly Breaches
exists Secondly, because in the event OF such
a fusion two thirds of the Fillmore men, who
are sincerely and In their hearts opposed TO the
extension Of slavery by bloodshed and violence, would
vote for Fillmore when thus brought out openly
as the of Southern nulhers. Thirdly, because the
democratic rarty in such fusion would be greatly
weakened by great stampede from its ranks not only
weakened il by the stampede Of the true demo
Gratis Fremont and democracy, but also by the
deseron OF almost all the foreign voters who could not
be induced by any means 70 vote for Fillmore. Hence
the fusion Of the two parties against fremont would be
very little weight against him Thus II may safely
be calculated that IL Fillmore were taken up BY the
South and the Buchanan men received orders 70 90 Tor
him. Pepnsy Nv would stll be sure for Fremont Blu
chanan and Fillmore in one phaanx could not beat him
This fusion Of the Buchanan and Fillmore men, 70
unite upon Fillmore, Is confidently expected by the lea
ders the Fillmore men, and Is probable that the con
veDtion which met at Harrisburg few days ago, 10
ties IN view OF this expec.e event.
The Union ticket proposed between Fremont and
red INTO enee, no harmouiz.on Of the two
larties which are irreconcilaole In principle. For
nce Fillmore is as fully sold TO Southern section as
Buchanan the opposition or the Fremoners 70 him Is as
great and irreconciable as IL Is to Buchanan. Such
union ticket would only be an arrangement BY which
Buchanan, be remains IN the nelt will be- as were,
put on side, and made hors de combat - regards
Pennsy lvania Then the contest would De on such
= ticket essentially and virtually between Fremont
and Fillmore wholly and solely. II would be no fusion
a two parties into Ike the late fusion OF
Fillmore and Buchanan In Connecticut both voting
geiner defeat Fremont In such ticket the Fremont
would not vote for Fillmore electors nor the Fillmore
Tor Fremont electors The electors would be the
same on both tickets but the battle would be 10 ascertain
by votes whether the electors named on the tickets
were 10 be Fillmore Fremont electors that - whether
Fremont Fillmore were 10 have the electoral vote
OF pennsylvania. And a majority for one or the
other would settle that question for one or the
that both the tickets would contain the same names
electors Only set OF electors would be elected
but Il Fillmore mad the majority, then those electors
would belong to him; and Fremont had the majority,
then those came electors would all belong 10 him. Ths
would be effected by having two separate Fillmore and
Fremont tickets. Both tickets would have the same
names Tor electors, bu, would be headed by the
name . well known Fremont man, and be voted for by
Fremont men, and the other BY the nare Of Ike ii.
would for the other Of these tcxets-some
the Fremont others the Fimoreeickei by ins means
ih numbers voting for Fremont would be clearly ascer

would in fact be two separate ticsey-a separate ire
mont ticket and separate Fillmore ticket The electors
on hch would be the same bu, they would belong to
him who had the majority Of ns tickets deposited In the
ballot boxes There nothing Objectionable In this plan
there no union between Fillmore a1a Fremont-tney
| would be In perfect sntagoDism.
The operation Of tickets would simply be to deprive
James Platform Of all chances whatever and Cause either
Fillmore or Fremop, TO be elected. This arrangement,
would be Objectionable than the state election union

Of consequence all the electors named on toe tickets
are Fillmore Fremont men; for, whoever they
may be. they pledged 10 90 for Fremont II the tick
voted for him have the majority those voted for
Fillmore. And on the other hand II more Fillmore
tickets are put into the ballot boxes than Fremont tickets
then the mentioned electors are pledged TO give the
Of Pennsylvania 10 Fillmore Nothing could be farer
Il II would be q very fair trial Of strength be
1 tween the two This simple and lucid arrangement
rendered rstner more complicated and confused by
