can Head Quarters, to select delegates to the
Harrisburg Convention, which meets to-day to
form an electoral ticket. Much confusion pre-

the Convention endorsing the Fillmore electo-

opposition to it were aiders and abettors of
Buchanan and Breckenridge. Subsequently
the Republicans elected delegates.
At the Fillmore Head Quarters the meeting
resolved to stick to the Fillmore ticket, and
repudated the attempt to hold Union Con-
vention at Harrisburg.
