The FUSION MOVEMENT IN PENNSYLVANIA
Fusion FRAuD.-We publish elsewhere'in this
paper the proceedings at Philadelphia yesterday
of the committees concerned in reference to a
fusion Fremont and Fillmore Presidential ticket
in Pennsylvania. 1t will be seen that some Of
the Fillmoreites are very modest in their de-
mands, claiming the whole or none. Their game
is very desperate one to coerce the Fremont
party into vote sufficient to carry Mr.. Fillmore
up to the House, or to hazard Buchanan's cleo
ton by the people. A very hopeful Fillmoreite,
Mr. Sanderson, counts upon the Southern States
Of Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, Tennessee and
Kentucky going for the Buffalo candidate, which
will carry the election into the House. that the
Fillmoreites can afford to be Independent and
throw away the vote Of Pennsylvania. Perhaps
Mr.. Sanderson may believe that this moonshine is
green cheese for there is no sounding the deusion
Of some of the silly disciples of Fillmore. There
is not the ghost of chance for him should the
election 60 to the House, and not the ghost Of .
chance of carrying the election to the House by
running separate Fillmore ticket, for the benefit
Of Buchanan, in every Northern State
On the other hand, the policy, the true policy
Of the Fremont party in Pennsylvania and every
other Northern State where any fusion is pro-
posed for the benefit of Fillmore, is to make the
issue clear and simple issue between Fremont
and Buchanan. By this process the hucksters
and trading spoilmen of the Fillmore party will
be compelled to show their hand, and they will
doubtless 60 over to Buchanan; but the bulk OF
the party will relieve themselves of their Know
Nothing obligations, and vote their honest senti-
ments as between the notification democracy
and the Fremont movement for a new and con
stitutional administration. We see what fusion
has done in Pennsylvania and Indiana, and we
see what a clear Fremont operation has done in
Ohio, Iowa, Maine, Vermont and Connecticut
We are sorry to see several of our Fremont
contemporaries Of this city timidly advocating
or acquiescing in the policy Of a fusion Fremont
and New Jersey. There should be nc such
thing Know Nothingism is dead-dead as old
line whiggery-an and let the dead bury their
dead.p This whole Fillmore movement has de-
generated into bogus Buchanan movement
Buchanan bargain and sale on the part of the
Fillmore leaders, Mr.. Fillmore himself holding
the position of the principal Peter Funk behind
the counter at mock auction. He simply per-
mits himself to be used as the catspaw Of Forney
to rake the chestnuts from the Ere into the hands
Of Buchanan. The Fremont party should wash
their hands of this whole Fillmore Know Nothing
game. BY doing this, Buchanan may gain some
Know Nothing votes, but the accessions thereby
Of adopted citizens and honest anti-Buchanan
Americans will make up, tenfold, all deficiencies
The Fusion Pennsylvania State Convention, for
the formation Of a union electoral ticket meets
at Harrisburg on the 2lst, and then we shall see
what we shall see In the meantime we do see
that there is prospect Of some astounding de-
velopements in reference to this late Pennsylvania
election.
