WHAT FUSION MEANS.

The Express, Whlch pretends lhat tncro oio 'oh
Bell Electors on the Douglas ticket, denounces ana
coarsey assails the Breckenridge men for insisting
on having as many for their candidate If there Is 70
he general combination of all the anti Republican
elements ON q common ticket. But why should
not the Hards have as many Electors as the Bell
Eve1ettsl Are not National Democrats as accept
able on Democratic ticket as know.Nothlngsf
Certainly the Breckenridge men have more Votes
TO contribute to the common fund than the Bell
men. How is it, then, that to ask for Bell Elect
ors on the ticket is patriotic, while to make siml-
lar reousition in favor of Breckenridge is factious
If The Express wants to beat down The Breckla'
ridge men to six or seven Electors, why not own
that Kidd, Ross, and other Silver Grays on the
Fusion ticket are not for Bell at all bat for Doug
Las Mere scolding will not shake grown men-
they can only be moved by facts.
Mr.. Dean Richmond returned to the City on
Saturday, al d fresh aud perhaps final effort at
fusng the Hards is now in progress. Its object is
not 30 much votes as mOney-money to corrupt
Pennsylvania at the State Election just at hand,
and make her ballOt-bOxes return false verdict
through bribery and fraud. If the importers,
iobbers, and bankers of our City who arc seeking
to moDopollze Southern trade through political
activity, can only secure a complete antl-R epub-
licar Fusion on an Electoral ticket which they can
represent at the South as for any body to beat
Lincoln, they may put up the $780, 900 which Is
deemed needful to corrupt Pennsylvania, as she
was corrupted in 1856 and then the desperate man

forth such leaders as the following:
