can Executive Committees, have agreed upon, and
now present to the people of Pennsylvania,
Union Electoral Tickets, formed on the basis re.
| commended by the United States Central Com
| mittee
Twenty-s six of the Electors nominated are com.
| mon to each ticket. The name of John O. Ere.
mont is placed at the head Of the Fremont and
Dayton ticket, as representing the twenty seventh
elector, and the name of Mard Fillmore is placed
at the head o! the Fillmore and Donelson ticket as
representing the twenty-eeventh elector of that
party. The Tickets agreed upon are as follows:
Here follows the electoral tickets, one headed
by the name of Fremont, and the other Fillmore,
but precisely alike in other respects, the ticket
being the same that is given sbove
The twenty-six electors are pledged to cast the
votes OF the State in the Electoral College for the
respective candidates for the Presidency and Vice
Presidency, in exact proportion to the popular vote
given to each ticket This forms q complete union
of the opposition strength in Pennsylvania, while
it enables every voter to indicate his preference of
the Presidential candidates, without any eompro-
mise of his principles. Every vote given to the
Fremont ticket counts in favor of the principles
and candidates Of Republican and North American
parties respectively, and every vote given to the
Fillmore ticket counts in favor of the Fillmore and
Donelson party, and will be fully represented in
the final result
The undersigned now call upon ell whs are op.
posed to slavery extension over free territory-to
the increase of slave representation in the Federal
Government and to the Cincinnati platform and its
canddstes-snd upon all who desire to preserve
the peace and the honor Of the country, aud faith
fully to sustain the constitutional rights Of every
section of it. to cooperate with them in this con.
test for Union, Liberty and Justice. We solemny
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 degrsdes American citizens by vitiating its
safeguards at the ballot box.
The undersigned have appointed committee TO
prepare an address to the people, which will be
published in few days.
We are happy TO announce that an entire un.
snimity existed in the proceedings of the commit.
tees and no doubt is entertained that the result
from common efforts to secure the adoption of the
Union Electoral Tickets now presented, will be
hailed with satisfaction by every citizen of Penn
sylvania, who is honestly hostile to the Cincinnati
Platform and the election Of James Buchsnan to
the Presidency.

were noted fer their hostility to him.
The newspaper organ OF MI Bolts. the

THE LITTLE WIFE.

Frown not MY love all, let me chase
Away the shade of care that lies
Tonight so darby on your face.
And mist-lke Ger yonr manly eyes.
Ali, lei me try the winning ways
You said were mine-the angel art
To pour at once ten thousand rays
sf dancing sunlight ON your heart
My iorp. my life!
Your little wife
Must bid these gloomy thoughts depart.
When love was young rn1 hopes were bright,
thought in all that dream of bliss
That clouds might come like these to night,
And hours Of BerroM such IS this.
And then, s4id, my task shall be
To soothe his heart, so fond and true,
And he who loves me thus shall see
How much his little wife can do.
Ny heart, my life!
Your little wife
Must bid you dream that dfsan sHew.
Then let ne lift tliezz locks that fall
80 wholly Ger your lofty brow,
And soothe with fingers soft and small
The yains that cord your temples now;
How off, when ached your wea1ied head
From manly care or thought divine,
You've held me 10 your heart, and said
My own, my life!
Your little wife,
That love is all her lfes design
And here ii is.-a love as wild
As q err defied the worlds control
The fondneas Of a fearful child,
The passions Of woman's soul,
All mingled in my breast for thee
In one hot tide-l cannot speak
hut feel my throbbng heart, and see
It's brightness in my burning check
Ny love, my liteI
Your little wife
Should cheer you, or her heart would br-sk.
Ali, now the breast found SO cold,
Grows warm within my cold embrace;
Aud smiles as sweet as those of old
Are stealing softly Ger your face;
And far within your bGightning eyes
My image, true aud clear, | see;
Each shade Of care and sorrow flies,
And leaves your heart again to me-
My love, my life!
Your little wife
Its only queen must ever be.
