The Union Reaction at Work-Gslorlous
News from Pennsylvsnis.
While cur New York politicians Of the va.
T.cu. conservative c!iqres and factions are
making eo1e-sion worse COMPOUNDED In their
contacted experiments for fusion, we are sud
cealy enlightened with the nest cheering intel
Igerce frcn, the 'old Key tone state" in be-
half Of the common cause of all good Union
men against this sectional disurion republican
party
We refer the intelligent reader to ths cslr,
ara impartial article from the Phi!ad eipria
Aqst'rsr, in another part Of this paper touching
tue prospective results Of the approaching
fenrsglvania October election. From this
article, em0odying the views of az intelligent
and independent anti democratic Journalist, it
Will be perceived that there is practical fusion
actively at work among all the conservative
elements opposed to Lincoln's election and
gcod prospect Of the success Of Foster, the de-
mccrauc and Union candidate fer Governor
Andwhy net Therepublicar party in Ps1nsyl-
vania represents but miserable minority Of her
! popular vote. Array against this party the
| democratic, American and cid line wing sle-
naents opposed to LincoIn's election, ard the
coalition, we dare say, would exhibit q ma ority
to day Of full City thousand Union men.
| Upon this point what says our independent
Philadelphia contemporary He says that Il
~ new evident that there l. q chance of full
and united democratic vote" upon Foster; shat
q lsree proportion of the Bell and Everett party
will add &c tie nominal strength of the patck-
work array ind that with fusion and energy,
Er. Foster may il the course CT thiags, be
elected but that If fusion were to meet with SO
marked success in Pennsylvania in October
then il New York, New Jersey and other States
where the coalition is not yet perfect or the
Presidential question, similar course would be
enforced b. the rank and file Of the parties con-
cerned, whatever might be the wishes Of their
leaders"
This Is tie whole case liz q nutshell.
Pennsylvania, il al probability, as in 1856,
will settle the question. The chances now
are better for the Union cause, against the re-
publican party, than they were in 1856 Their
the republicans and Americans from recent
tiumphs, were flushed With the hopes ofsuccess,
united and active-while the democracy from
late defeats, were under q cloud, ard fighting
single handed Now large proportion of the
American party are with the democracy they
are cordially uniting, ard the result we say,
will most probably be the defeat Of the repub-
Hcars in the decisive Pennsylvania October
election. as IL 1856, but b. larger vote
Decisive, We repeat, win be this Pennsylvania
election, as in 1856, With the success Of Foster
And the materials are ut hand, and the right
spirit is ct work among Union-loving democrats,
wigs, Americas and oil concerned, to achieve
this decisive triumph. With this achievement
the tables viii be turned At once, and the coz
seryatve forces Of New Jersey, New York and
ether States with or without our burgling poll
iciaas, will rally together upon co.union
electoral ticket and give this slavery agitating
republican party crushing defeat In Ncvem-
ber.
Let Cur New York conservatives Of oil par
ties, il the meantime, lend generous helping
hand in behalf Of the election Of Foster as Go
vernon o. Pennsylvania. and the srhssa-.;.i
work OF o powerful reactonary revolution
Will bis election, will be accomplished. We
have been building our hopes upon New York;
but Pennsylvania, II appears, has the man, the
means and the will for the crisis. Let the
Union cause then, be pushed ahead In Pennsyi-
vania and her October election will decree Q
great and glorious revolution IL November.
