In the Pennsylvania State Election of 1856, the
Frem mt and Fillmore parties were allies, having
formed their State Ticket proc to the nominations
for President. They wefe prepared to carry, and
would have carried that Election by bout Ten
Thousand majority, when their opponents, just be-
fore the day of trial, raised large amounts of
money, mainly 10 this City, bought up Herewith
some nOmiually FILLMORE leaders, fabricated aud
distributed whole truu kstull of counterfeit Natu
ralizatiOn Certificates, and ,arred the State IN a
grand surge of corruption aOd fraud, by some Three
Thousand majority The triumph of Sham De-
mccracy was simply gigantic swindle, as was
iudcially proved in contest of the election OF
District Attorney in Philadelphia aud still further
established by the Covode Investigation. And that
swinde secured the elevation of James Buch ,nan to
the Presidency, and so-in the slang of the day
saved the Union" If the Union could in truth
only be saved by such means, would it be really
worth saving!
At her two last State Elections, Pennsylvania
has been carried by the united Opposition or
Peoples Party" by al average majority of
Twenty Thousand; and that party, in full Conven-
ton, has nominated Col. Andrew G.. Curtin for
Governor and sent delegates to Chicago who there
procured the nomination of Abraham Lincoln for
President They had their choice among all the
candidate outside of Pennsylvania, and they de-
liberately and unanimously chose Mr.. Lincoln as
the man who, by his known aDtecedents, his per.
sonal character, aud his we'll understood principles,
was the very man to combine their SURFACES and
carry their State. Their voice was foremost
among the lnhuenceswhich secured his nomination.
very small segment of the Peoples party has
bolted this nomination, and pretends to support
John Bell, alOrg with the little band of Democratic
stool pigeons who, hitherto calling themselves
" Straight Americans" have for years been hired
and used to distract the Opposition and aid the
party in power. (See S. J. Megargees testimony
before the Printing Investigation Comm ttee
These together are now ding dOnging lot of bells
with the plain intent of giving aid and comfort to
the Naturalization swindlers Of 1856. But how
can they deceive anybody They have no Bell
Electoral Ticket, and do not mean to have any,
unless as a blind; their votes will be given for those
who have repeatedly bought and used them. Taeir
immediate business is to abstract as many votes
from Curtin as possible, and thereby secure the
election of Henry D. Foster, the Fusion Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor.
We trust this unprinciped coalition is to be
beaten but il will require the utmost exertio0s of
the Lincoln men of PennSy vanla. They have the
supporters of Douglas, Breckenridge and Bell all
cOmbaed OH Foster which will give him thousands of
votes that cannot be united 90 any conceivable
81 ka mn Of, a tba
publicsns and Peoples men must be pu, forth to
secu Curtin's election and to this end we N axe
final and Urgent appeal.
MEN or PENNSYLVANIA! yoH stand ia the
Tie mOpyla of this momehtOus struggle YOH
can see that the TIL headed adversary cannot
C mbine oil its forces on common Electoral
the Douglas men spurn the idea of
voting for BreckinrC &c, and have nominated
clean Electoral Ticket-that the Adopted Citizens
cannot be induced to vote for Bell Electors, While
thousands now acting as Bel men cannot be Induced
to vote o Fusion Ticket from which the names
of Bell men are excluded But the Country can
not, will not zee this; and the great multitude Of
hestatiDg dubious, Indifferent, will regard Curtins
defeat as putting the State against Lincoln in No
Sember. Such a result in October would be hailed
by our motley adversaIies as death-blOw to our
cause, and would aid them in fusirg and uniting
heir incODguOus factions into one common patty.
Elect Curtin, and the Presidential contest is de-
.ded; let him be delt ated, ard we shall have to
tIuggle desperately to the close of the polls in
November BY the sacred memories of Iudepend
nee Hall, of Brandywire, of Valley Forge of
lei mantowD, we entreat you to do your very ut
most for Curtin and your Congressman in the Octo
er Election
