JAMES WEBSTER,

Each of the above electors has accepted the APP
pontment as such, and given written assurance
that if elected will vote for Willard Fillmore for
President and Andrew jackson Donelson for Vice
President of the United States. These letters of
acceptance have been deemed satisfactory by the
committee, and accordingly approved. PROPOSE
tons having been made by the Republicans and
the Fremont Americans to form an Union electo-
raj ticket the committee, at meeting at which
twenty-three members were present, adopted the
following:
Resolved That we deem it inexpedent to
make any alteration in the Fillmore and Donelson
electoral ticket in this State and that we are firm
ly convinced that any interference with il would
be the means of giving the State to Mr.. Buchanan
instead of defeating him.
" RESOLVED, That we decline to accept either of
the propositions of the Republican State Commit
tee, satisfied that the electoral ticket already in
the field is the only one on which all opposed to
Mr.. Buchanan can successfully unite, and pledging
it to Incorporating opposition, and to the de-
feat under any and all circumstances of his cleo
ton"
The first of the above resolutions was unani-
mously adopted, and the second by a vote of 90 to
2, one declining to vote. Having thus resolved,
and published their proceedings, the committee to
whom has been intrusted the management of the
canvass in the State, cannot and do not recognise
any electoral ticket as genuine, or as emanating
from that body, or as being published or circulated
by their authority; but call upon all who desire
the election of Fillmore and Donelson, or the de-
feat of the policy of the present administration as
imboded and set forth in the Cincinnati platform,
to unite in its support, as the only practicable
means to defeat James Buchanan in PENNSYLVANIA
1t is pledged to the defeat of Mr.. Buchanan, and
all who sincerely desire his defeat it is hoped, will
see the necessity OF making common cause in its
support, and cordially unite in their exertions to
secure its triumphant election.
But two weeks more remain to organize and pre-
pare for the election. Let that brief space of time
be devoted to active service by all who desire to
restore peace and harmony to the country, by the
election of President who is capable to discharge
the duties of that Office and who will be true to
the Constitution and the Union. Though we have
suffered partial defeat at the late State election
considering the fact that the State has hitherto
admittedly been largely Democratic, and that the
candidate of-that party for the Presidency is one
of her most distinguished sons, and the further
fact that immense frauds, amounting to thousands
were VIGOROUSLY practiced by that party at the
late election, there is nothing in the result to dis
hearten or discourage us. On the contrary right
ly considered it is virtual defeat Of that party
They-havs elected their State ticket by meager
majority of few thousands, but have failed in OBJ
tanning more than one-half of the delegates to
Congress, while in both branches of the Legislature
it is now ascertained almost beyond a doubt they
will be in minority.
Such a result is, in fact, defeat to the Demo-
cratic party, and indicates most clearly that Penn
eylvania can and will be redeemed on the fourth
of November, if those opposed to Mr.. Buchanan
are but true to themselves, and strike the blow in
the manner in which it can be made felt That
can only be done by supporting the electoral
ticket above given. Let, then, all who wish to
obtain triumph in this State cordially, barmoni-
ously, and unitedly adopt it. In the language Of
Willard Fillmore, Let nail our flag to the mast
head, and, if we go down, let US 60 down with our
flag still flying"
JOHN p SANDERS0N,
Chairman Fillmore and Doneson State Committee.
