,.e come 10 examine things we are ofceo " INC
cInson that we fought not only the Gnu

.r0.,t patronage to back them but also NUMBER OF
,r.orberou., pretended Fillmore leaders, who with all
ar ,es under their CONTROL together with the good
IN and fixtures ofdefunct Know-Nothing Councils In
s,ndne books and records dark lanterns, signs grips
,,ss.words tokens, winks, blnks and mods, marched
aver into the Democratic camp, and now fight side by
eide with Postmaster Campbell and the main body OF
Irish Catholics.
Wherever we were encountered with fAimoreSm-
a few districts only excepted-tbere we were badly
beaten. In counties entirely free from fIumoreism,
We either kept Democrat figures within bounds or
largely increased our majorities. For instance, IN
Bucks and Lehigh Counties there is no other OPPOSE
lion than Fremont and these the only two counties
In Eastern Pennsy vania where we actually gained on
last years vote. In Norham ,ton-at Easton-there
are some four or five leaders who still claim to be
Fillmore men, but who are unquestonaoy Tor bacna-
IN and Slavery. These voted the Buchaneer ticket,
and secretly electioneered for it, in that borough ana
in the county. Here in this borough, know only OF
eleven men who profess to be for Fillmore. Iheee
voted as near as can be ascertainedfor the Bucha-
neer State ticket S. for the Union ticket, g. One OF
The former has declared since that he Will vote Tor IRE
mont and have two Of the latter Among the eisnl,
however there are at least two VINO WIN say WHEY
40 do not pretepd to say. Looking over the returns
find that In almost every locality where there Is
FILLMORE faction, have suffered; ana II Is no" tio
general impression that almost every vote that was
6oled for the Union ticket is sincerely against Bu
cbanap and will be pOlled directly against nun III NO
yernber either for fair Union or Fremont h9cIoral
ticket. Should Fillmore receive many voIeS-ua,
A. sav for the Know. Nothing Electoral tcket-then
Buchanan will be the sufferer ~ that VOTE almost 10
!. man, was polled for the BUCCANEERS on Tuesday
lost .,. r. -.
Umsonitude of the disaster" cannot look upon the
,csult as disastrous at all Every man acquainted with
ania politics must admit that, generally, the
Democratic spells party IL the regular Vo.tng party at
every ELECTION from President down to constable.
There are thousands belonging to the Opposition whose
votes can only be secured on extraordinary OCCASIONS
They are quiet, sefthiDklng lner. Among these are
Menonites very numerous IN Lancaster, Dauphln,
Lebanon and Cumberland, and also some In Berks,
I,eheh and Bucks. There are also msny Quakers IN
the southern part of Lancaster and IN Chester Bucks
and Philadelphia, who dio not vote ON Tuesday, out
will be out on the 4th of November. We have also in
This section OF the State considerable number of
voters who can seldom be brought to the polls because
they cor elder it foregone conclusion that Ism worth
wi e-that I" the Democrats will win aByho ". Now,
have never known close vote at the State election
70 fail getting this class out almost to man, at the
Presidential election. They saw in l84O that as the
Democratic majority in the State only about ,OOo
good turnout might win the State they did turn out
and the State was carried In 1914 the Naive coai-
tbo ef fha Stafa a
fion probably contributed much as anything to the
defeat of Clay in November. In loiS, at the State
election as now the vote was very close. the nigs
carrying the Governor by 13 and the Democrats the
Cenal Commissioner by about 500. This close vote
ain had the desired efectalmOs every Opposition
voter in the State the importance OF lev votes
and the result was an overwheln ing triumph In NO
vember. Now have every reason to believe mat inc
recent eleotion-exceediDgy CLOSETS the very result
that will most benefit our candidate. Thousands OF
persons who did not vote will DO out and eight out of
every ten will vote for Fremont.
Our friends abroad by comparing Tho vote OF North
snpton County this year with that of last, doubtless
cannot account for the sweeping Buchsneer majority
Cd 800. | have probably means to know and under
stand the cause we'll any man, and will frankly
statc it, Ii was want of organization and Fillmore
;sm Tbe,e two causes combined did the work. In
the townships of Moore Nazareth, Hanover, Plain
field, Bethlehem, Forks and East Allen, we had no
of any kind and oil these largely III
creased the Buchaneer majority. In Upper Nazareth,
a small township which we should have carried by 80
sotas We were beaten 7Oi Now, we have friends
there but having had no regular org snizston they

County but 10 do this the friends OF Fremont must

L. Swift of Boston came here and addressed meeting
In Saucon which had the effect to cheer up our rends

friends walked up polled their vote, and carried the
township by IA majority which was an increase
in our favor A small meeting was beld IN freemans,
burg and there polled nearly our whole vote, and
came within two votes of majority. Our losses were
almost invariably where meetings were held or
other organic alton effected.
As party we are very poor in this county, but as
sure you that TO the extent of ability and means
we will work during the next two weeks with vigor,
and. a. believe with good effect We stand pledged
TO reduce the majority in thus county not less than oOo
