BLACK REPUBLICANS Fusion ELECTORAL
TICKET IN PENNSYLVANIA.
As there are very many and very just doubts in
the public mind in regard to the identity of the real
Fremont from among the great number of Fremonts
in the field for the presidency, SO there doubts
as to the ability of the opposition to discover the
real Simon Pure electoral ticket amid the increasing
confusion of the diminishing fusion in Pennsyl-
vana.
LIST. We have the ticket nominated some months
ago by the friends of Mr. Fillmore, and to which the
great body of the Know Nothing party proper of
Pennsylvania will probably adhere, fusion or no flu
sion.
3D. We have the ticket formed at Philadelphia by
union of the friends of Fremont and Fillmore, in
which union the friends of the latter stood to the
former in the same relative proportion the bread
to the sack in Sir John Falstaff's famous bill. Ac-
cording to the provisions of this union, the high
contracting powers pledged their respective party
strength to the support of the candidate who shall
have the majority of the popular vote of the State
for the ticket AS the result is contingent it places
the foreign 0oters who support the Fremont party
in most singular position. IfMr Fillmore gets the
majority of the popular vote for the union ticket
Mr.. Fremont surrenders his party to the support OF
Mr. Fillmore and his proscriptive principles, and
thus uses the foreign vote of his party to help to
elect Mr. Fillmore. And should Mr.. Fremont obtain
the majority of the popular vote for the union ticket
by their arrangement Mr.: Fillmore is to hand over
the support of his party to Mr.. Fremont, and thus
betray the nationality which he processes to the
success of sectional and abolition party.
Sd. third electoral ticket may be expected, as
the German organ, in Pennsylvania of the Fremon-
ters repudiates the above mongrel ticket, and pub
fishes call for meeting signed BY alargs number
of leading black Republicans TO express the indig-
nation of the adopted citizens at this attempt to Sc
duce them into the support of Know Nothingism.
4th The fourth electoral ticket is thus noticed by
the Harrisburg Keystone:
ga black Republican State convention met at the
afoA o1o cCot
placing upon it twenty-six names, leaving the twen-
ty-scventh to be John q. Fremont or Willard Fill
more the pleasure of the voter the whole vote to
be counted in favor of the candidate having the |
greatest number. The ticket nominated by the
American convention some months ago was very
cooly thrust aside and this new one presented to
that party for its support. Whether the rank and
file will consent to be thus transferred is very doubt
full So far as have observed, there seems to be
a general determination to stand by their own regu
lar ticket and not allow themselves to be swallowed
up by the black Republicans with whom they have |
no affinity on the great question Of the campaign"
We have heard of different "divde" from that |
stated by the keystone in Of the election of
ticket 1t is this. The electors to be apportoned
to Fremont and Fillmore in proportion to the whole
number of votes cast by their respective friends.
South CARolnA.-Wm p Miles has been elect
ed to Congress in the Charleston District beating
Gen. Gadsden and Col. Cunningham, having more
votes than both of them. All the other old mem
bers are elected without opposition. The Legisla-
ture is Democratic of course.
Among the gentlemen elected to the Legislature
from the city Of Charleston, is James Johnston Pct
tgrew son of the late Hoa. E. Pettigrew, of Tyrre
county, N. CO. who graduated at the University of
North Carolina, in 1S47, with its very highest hon
ors He is now associated with his distinguished |
kinsman, }. l. Petigru, in the practice of law in
Charleston.
Heading the list of the elected, by an overwhelm-
ing vote, stands Richard Yeadon, Esq, of the Cou
rer, who was nominated and elected in his absence
and in spite of his politics, which well known
to be opposed to those of the city and State He
has not been in Charleston for the last two three
months. We rejoice to see such tribute to one of
the noblest and most talented of men.
Col. VIM. s. Mullins formerly of this place. is re-
elected to the Legislature from Marion District by
the highest vote on the list. 49,
