"No Fusion in pennsylvauIa. .

This is now "6xed fact" over which,
strange as It may seem, the Black Rcpubli.
cans affect to rejoice. If they have disoov-
cred that they must 90 into the election with
out fusion with the Fillmore men in Penn
sylvania, il Is for the same reason that JACK
concluded to 90 TO bed without his supper.
viz. because he couldn't get Il.
The Fremonters have been doing their ut
most for the last two months, 10 effect CO.
alition with the Fillmore Know Nothings, TO
defeat Mr.. BUCHANAN in Pennsylvania. The
Fillmore men have held the proposition UNI
der consideration till after tho State election,
and now they are very ready TO pronounce
oil such coalitions @ unwise and inexpedieut
Why unwise and inexpedientp Simply be-
cause the result of the State election ha'
shown that the two factions combined can.
not by any possibility, defeat Mr.. BuoHASAS
In his own State. The Democracy OF the
"0ld Key Stone" have just beaten the al
lied forces Of FREMosT and FILLMORE, by 9
majority Of over six thousand, vote which
they can moro than double, on direct vote
for President. The sagacity Of the Fillmore
men In refusing 10 form an alliance with The
Aboltionists which could result in no posi-.
bic good, but which might DO, to them, pro-
ductive Of much injury, is to be commended
They have party reputation at stake. Theil
organization Is permanent one, and Is likely
TO be tho nucleus around which the futur,
opposition party to the Democracy will b,
formed. With the Abolition or Fremont
party, II Is far diiserest They have moth
ing at stake beyond the present contest
Their organization Ia merely temporary, an,
based upon special issues. Whether success
full or not the discordant materials OF whicl
the party Is composed, must resolve them
selves back into their original elements In
moment tho temporary questions upon whicl
they have rallied arc settled. That canno
be moro than year or two, at farthest. !
defeated, as they surely will be, the fourtl
OF November viii give the death blow b
Black Rcpublicanism, as a political organi
cation.
In view Of these facts, the policy Of tn
Fillmore men In Pennsylvania and in thi
State, in rejecting the overtures Of their lat
allies for continuance Of the partnership,
just such an one as We might expect saga
cious and experienced politicians to adopt
They have nothing to gain and everything b
lose by the coalition. The Fremonters, Of
the other hand. have nothing to lose AM
everything to gain. The satisfaction whicl
they pretend TO feel at the un:eremoniou
"snub" which they have received, is all
sham. They have worked hard, and worke,
every way. 10 close bargain which they fel
to be, to them, an issue Of life or death. T,
say that they rejoice to see their works 81
suddenly brought to nought" Is to sa,
what cannot from the very nature Of things
be true, and what nobody will be credulou
enough TO believe. For them to think O
carrying Pennsylvania without the aid o
the Fillmore men, Is simply preposterous
In Philadelphia and other eastern counties
the Abolition party Is largely in the minority
as compared even with the friends Of FILL
MORE. And 1t may be justly questioned II, il
the whole State, the former really outnumbe
the latter. No one can, then, be at loss Il
judge how they must fare In contest with
the determined, unbroken and victorious
hosts of the Democracy.
