cauistn" in Philadelphia, and an ardent sup
porter of Mr.. FILLMORE in tue last campaign
is cut, in strong terms, in favor of Mr.
WlLMoT, and the entire Union State Ticket.

displayed, we expect to see Locofoeoism re-

readers who might thoughtlessly throw their
votes away in the support Of distinctive

the success of Locofocolsm. From what
we can learn, however, we are pleased to say
that so far as Bedford county is concerned,
there is unaniInity Of sentiment upon the
subject of the support of Mr.. WILNoT that

Of the campaign; and when we fnd such
papers as ''1he Sun," the organ Of the
AMERICANS in Philadelphia, and the
Harrisburg Sentinel, whose editor, JoHN j.
CLYDE, is President of the Penna. State
Council, warmly supporting the Union State
Ticket, it requires no great wisdom to per-

running candidates will contribute more TO
the success of I4ocofocoism than If they
acted xith that party, none will deny-and
that this is the object Of the corrupt leaders,
headed BY the Daily .hews is equally plain

seen that it can never be made right with
the people of the Americen party, to be dis

Who does not remember when the Native
Americans determined to support William

locofocos made every effort to prevent the
consumatlon of the union of forces, which,

misrule and folly, but were not, on all minor
points, agreed1 Who can forget that locofoco
money was offered, and 10 some instances,
as was currently beiieved, paid to certain
men who were prominent as Native Ameri-

write for distinctive ticket, on the plea
that the Native Americans could never be-
