To every man who desires the triumph of
National Amcricanism in the election Of
Fillmore and Donelson, we would say in all
candor that everything depends upon the
success Of onr State and Local tickets at
the October election. That election is near
at hand, aud If we would come out of the
contest with our banners crowned with vic
tory, we must. in the language of our form-
er gallant leader, Henry Clay, awake,
arouse, shake off the dew drops that glitter
on cur garments, and work with will from
been deposited. Let the election of the
Uuion State and county tickets be the one
great object of every man who desires the
overthrow of the corrupt dynasty at Wash
ington, and the complete annihilaiion of
the Cincinnati Platform as embodied in the
person Of that arch intriguer and trucker
TO the Foreign and Slave Powers James Bu-
chanan. Our tickets are composed of we'll
tried and unexoeptionable men who will 90
honor to the various positions for which
they have been chosen. Aud if we would
repulse the enemy at the very outset, and
seriously cripple them for the entire cam
paigu, let us rally en- maSSe under the Union
flag and carry our State and local elections
as we can do by an unprecedented majority.
The Cincinnati platform is already nearly
crushed beneath the avalanche of Union
victories that have rolled in upon him from
Iowa, and Vermont, aud Maine. II Penn
sylyania repudiates him with equal cmpha-
sis, Buchanan will be a dead cock in the
pit,-he Will be buried so deep politically,
that plumuet line viii never sound his tomb;
the effect of such result here in the old
Keystone, the native State of Buchanan,
cannot but prove electrical. 1t VIII show
beyond all doubt that he bas not the shad-
ow of chance for an election. Then,
throughout the entire South, the Democrat
;c electoral tickets viii be virtually aban-
doned, while the acccssions to the Fillmore
banner will be overwhelming. This is the
prospect at the present time, and 1t cannot
bat improve during the few weeks that in
terycne before the election. A prominent
Democratic United States Senator recently
declared in Washington that if Buchanan
lost Pennsylvania at the October election,
the Southern Democracy would give up the
contest, forsake old Buck, and go over al
most en- masse to Fillmore. \ number of
/ Southern Democratic papers have already
come out for Fillmore, and the Charleston
Mercury, the leading Democratic organ in
South Carolina boldly and ably advocates
/ the abandonment of the Cincinnati nominee
aud the adoption Of Fillmore by the De
mocracy, in order to the overthrow of the
Abolition candidate, Fremont. The con-
test in Pennsylvania will decide the whole
matter. Ii Buchanan loses the State IN
October, Mr.. Fillmore will certainly carry
thirtcen-probably all of the Southern
States, and will be the next President X
work, then, every man who desires such I
eonsummation. Labor increasingly for tht
election of the Union State and county tick
cts, so that when this primary battle shal
have been fought, you can return from th,
contest with trows bound with victorious
wrcaths, encouraged for the great struggl
in November. To secure the success O
Fillmore and Donelson you have only t
carry the State against the Pierce dynas
ty and the embodiment of the Cincinnati
Platform. Up, Union Guards, and o
them One FIRE along the whole line, am
there will not be enough of Foreign and pr
Slavery LOcofocoism left iu Pennsylvania t
, tell the story of its dovnfall.- Harisbur.
