There is a magnificent scheme Of pipe
laying. or lOg-rOlling going on in Penn
sylvania and New York. The plan is
this : If the Pennsylvania State election
goes unfavorably for the BUCCANEERS,
then the State of New York is to be
made the battle ground, and a capture
is to be attempted by grand coup dc
main. All the fragments of the disor-
ganized Know Nothing party are to be
bought up-that is, the leaders-and
thus throw the Fillmore strength into
the Buchanan camp. have this from
an undoubted source. You see, here at
Washington among the oficeholders,
they know not who to trust, and their
secrets leak out. Yesterday, a Demo
cratic" officeholder offered to bet a friend
of mine large sum that, provided the
PENNSYLVANIA State election igent against
tie DemocYets, the Stale of New York
would go for Buchanan BY large ma
jority. Other bets of the same nature
have been offered, and on the same (the
Pennsylvania contingency. Whether
Rast. Brooks is to be made Secretary of
State, or Fillmore sent Minister Plenipo-
tentiary to the Cannibal Islands by this
vancouver, has not yet transpired. Now,
is not thisa good plot as ever was laid ?
" a good plot, good friends, and full of
expectation: an excellent plot, very good
friends" as Hotspur says.
The indications of an arrangement be-
tween the Fillmore and Buchanan Sla-
very Extensionists multiply on every hand.
A Washington correspondent of ours re-
ports, in a letter which will be found in
another part of this paper, that the pro-
posed combination will be consumated
in the defeat of the Buccaneers at the
approaching State election in Pennsyl-
vania. Private advices from that Stale,
however, inform us that the same Bu-
CHANGERS have already concocted some
scheme not yet publicly developed, Sc
curing the vote of the State in favor Of
Border-R -Rufanism, and that their despair
of the last few days has suddenly been
changed to exultation. From New Jer-
sew we also hear that Mr.. Buchansn's
recent visit 10 that State has resulted in
an agreement to give the vote OF the Blu.
chanan men there to Fillmore in consid-
Grafton Of ar equivalent in Pennsy lvania.
In this city We know that meeting OF
the leaders Of the two factions has Just
taken place, with q view to a combina-
tion on the basis of giving to Fillmore
the Democratic vote of New York, in
return for which the Fillmore men of
Pennsylvania sre 10 be handed over to
Buchanan. At the same time, we are
assured that preparations have been
made 10 repeat in Pennsylvania the no
torious Plaquemines frauds by which the
vote of Louisiana was secured to Mr.
Polk. The prolonged presence in this
region of Mr. Senator Slid-ll. who is be-
lieved TO have had SO considerable a
share in those nefarious transactions, is
naturally regarded as having something
to do with this part of the new Border
Ruffian strategy. without which it is felt
Buchanau's election is impossible.
The proposition for traRicing of the
votes of the Pennsylvania Flllmoreans
Cor those of the Buchaneers of New
York was first made BY Mr.. Fillmore
and his advisers at Buffalo before the
Maine Election had stru-k the Slavery
Extensionists with astonishment and
alarm. Then it WAS rejected by the
motely group of patriots who have Mr.
Buchanan in charge. Now, it seems,
