Lewisburg chronicle. [volume] (Lewisburg, Pa.) 1850-1859, 1856-10-10
TO the Voters of PENNSYLVANIA,
Opposed to the Election of jas Buchanan.

IT rs DESIRABLE that all those opposed
to the nominee Of the Cincinnati Conven-
ton, and in favor of excluding Slavery
/ from Free Territory, should unite on the
same Electoral Ticket on equitable terms.
. The defeat Of Mr. buchanan would thus
be insured The Committees of the two
Opposition parties having hitherto failed to
agree on any terms Of union, VIC invite the
members Of the FILLMORE aud Fremont
parties to meet in MASS CONVEN-
/ TI0NS, at the seat of Justice of the sew
eral Cities and Counties Of the Common
wealth, on Saturday tie llM deg of Octo-
Der next and choose TWICE as many Dele
gates as each City and County is entitled
to members of the Legislature, who will
meet in Convention at H4RRISBLRG,
on THURSDAY the 10th day of OCTO-
BER next, to form an Electoral Ticket,
to be supported by all the opponents of
JAMAs BUCHANAN; the Ticket to be form.
ed on the following principles: Twenty
six Electors shall consist Of the same names;
the twenty.seventh Elector on the FILL
MORE ticket shall consist of different
name from the twenty seventh on the FIRE.
MONT ticket For example, MILLARD
FILLMORE and twcnty-six other names
selected from the several Congressional
Districts shall form one ticket and JOHN
G. Fremont and the same twenty y-six
names above referred to shall form the
other ticket. The twenty-six Electors
shall be pledged to cast the Electoral votes
of the State for MILLARD FILLMORE and
JOHN c. Fremont, respectively, precisely
in proportion to the popular votes cast for
each, as indicated by the twenty seventh
Elector on each ticket For example, if
MILLARD FILLMORE, (or the twenty seventh
Elector who represents him, receives an
equal number of votes with JOHN c. FIRE.
MONT or his representative, then thirteen
Electoral votes shall be given for MILLARD
FILLMORE and thirteen for JouN C. FIRE.
MONT
This will enable every voter to act eff
cently against JAMES BUCHANAN without
any sacrifice of principle. The FILLMORE
men vote for him alone, the Fremont |
men for him alone, and yet by associated
action they increase the chances of each.
We think no one eau objee. to this propo-
sition who is not in heart in favor of BU-
CHANAN
1t is understood that if the Committees !
Of the two parties unite on joint ticket
before the meeting Of this Convention, no
farther action will be had by the Conven-
tion. If no such agreemeu. should be had .
before the sixteenth Of October, then We
invite the State Committees of the Ere
MONT and FILLMORE parties to be at Har-
risburg on that day to consult with the
Convention
That no time may be lost after the union
ticket shall be formed, we recommend the
Delegates from the different districts to
agree on their respective Electors before
they leave home and procure from them
the following written pledge:
"Sh5ull | be chosen Presidential Elec-
tor for the State of Pennsylvania, | hereby
pledge myself so to cast the vote of the
State, that MILLARD FILLMORE and JNo.
G. Fremont shall each receive Electoral
votes equal to the proportion of popular
votes given to each, as indicated by the
9th Cor leading) Elector on each ticket"
