rent efforts to force the Fillmore party OF fenn-

of no moment whatever. No fusion ticket in
that State in The November election, even
tbouvb the regular Fillmore ticket be with
drawn in its favor, can &C ne within many
thousands of the vote that the Democratic
ticket will surely receive. Indeed, we shall
not be surprised to find the Democratic ticket
In clear majority Of forty thousand votes on
the night of the 4th proximo. We repeat
what We have previously said in this connec-
ton. Via: that the fusion ticket received on
the 18th instant every vote in the State really
opposed to Mr.. Buchanan.
We may truthfully add that it received
thousands Of votes of persons who though vot-
ing for it under a mistaken idea Of honor,
made no secret of their determination to vote
for Mr.. Buchanan in the subsequent election,
wherein he is to come, personally, immediate
ly before the public. We believe that he was
thus at least five thousand stronger than the
Democratic State ticket on the 14th inst; bas-
ing this opinion on our personal experience
among the people of Pennsylvania. Thus,
We expect gain of 10, 900 votes in that way.
Again, there are at least 10, 900 voters of that
State who voted the fusion ticket to be on the
strong side. They will vote the Democratic
ticket on the 4th proximo, to the same end.
Thereby, We expect that Buchanan will gain
q, 900. a

effect upon thousands Of Mr.. Fillmore's friends
in Pennsylvania who honestly stand with the
Democracy upon the slavery question, who,
realizing that their favorite has no earthly
chance to be elected, will vote the Democratic
ticket in return for the compliments bestowed
on them by the TriJnale, Herald, ct at now
engaged in representing them as the most God
forsaken mersenary villains unhung. Those
experienced in such matters, and more es-
peciaily those who are also personally aware
of the much greater strength which Mr. Bueh-
per Sc, will realize that this calculation of ours
Is q reasonable one.
Knowing well that every man in the State
who is tinctured with anti-slavery sentiments to
greater or less degree-Quaker, or what not
