But the great cause Of the small republican
majority in Pennsylvania is in the fact that
they fought the battle upon false party
organization and upon false issues Know
Nothingsm was the dead weight which
nearly broke the camel's back in PeDnsyl-
vania. On the contrary, in Iowa, Vermont
Maine, Connecticut, Ohio and Indiana, where
the Fremont party kicked this misunderstanding
monstrosity Of Know Nothingism out of doors
and fought the fight upon the simple issues Of
hostility to this Pierce administration, and this
rotten notification democracy, and of hostility to
the democratic policy Of making Kansas slave
State by fire and sword, they have carried every
thing before them
This was the course, and is now tho only
course Tor the opposition party to pursue in
Pennsylvania. Let them rid Fremont of this
dead carcass Of Know Nothingisn,- them put
up clean Fremont electoral State ticket, and
fight the battle upon the great living issues
of the day, between the constitutional policy OF
Fremont and the notification, filibustering and
border ruffan pro slavery policy Of the debauched
democracy. Next, having done this, let the Ere
mont party, thus purified and liberated from
the dead weight Of dead body proceed to or
ganize, circulate documents, and papers and
speakers, and judi ,ious agents in behalf of Aeat
ing voters, in every hole and corner of the State
and then, on election day, three weeks hence with
the reserved vote Of ten thousand men Of the
quiet and religious old settlers the victory in
Pennsylvania in November, instead Of being five
CT ten thousand majority. as shown by the re,
turns Of this morning, will be made a glorious
victory for Fremont Of twenty or thirty thousand
The vote in Mr.. Buchanans own township, and
his own county of Lancaster-several thousands
gainst him-is evidence enough that his personal
influence has been Of no advantage to his party
in Pennsylvania; and the vote in other eoantes
where Know Nothingism was thrown out, just a.
clearly shows that the greatest of the opposition
Marplots has been Fillmore, and that any coali-
ton with him or his peddling hucksters, is dead
loes In word, Mr.. Fillmore in the Northern
States is " a dead cock in the pit" These late
elections prove that his opposition is benefit,
and his assistance an injury to the Fremont
NOV ament. The mixing Of Know Nothingism
with the Fremont cause in Pennsylvania proba-
bly, lost the opposition thousands Ofhonest voters
who can be reclaimed Pennsylvania, upon
clear party platform of unmixed Fremont princi-
pies, a2l pure Fremont electoral ticket, will
give an overwhelming and triumphant vote in
November With popular majority inst OBJ
tanned in The State contest, If II be but majo-
rity of ahandred votes or less, the victory in the
national bas.lc is sure. No time is to be lost.
