This feeling, which ~ running like n steady tide
through the hearts Of the people If these three ada

effect produced by the presence of q few hundreds in
the Southern tier of counties 10 Pennsylvania, Ohio.
Indiana and Illinois. Hostile legisla ton necessarily
meets them at every step, and the industrious white
man is even now forced to drive them from his coul-
munity in order to preserve his own hayings.
These are the bases Of the new political psrty.
which is founding itself, in spite of the politicians,
in self defence against the destructive theories of the
Black Republican demagogues. 1t is founded in the
material interests Of the whole People, its arguments
come home to every mans pocket, and it will sooner
or later sweep the whole country triumphantiy. Tie
throes Of its birth are seen in the efforts at political
fusion in the three great States from whose heart the
life currents of the Union are quickened, and its first
act will be the election, in October, of Foster. the
conservative candidate for Governor in Pennsylvania.
To this object now should be directed the united
efforts Of the conservative interests Of these three
States. Let them secure the election of Governor
Foster on the 9th day of October nsxt, and we shall
hear no more of straight Douglas, straight Breckin- |
ridge. ,or straight %factious tickets Of any kind, or the
Presidential election IN November. The Union ticket !
will carry all three Of these States il its success is !
secured in the October election i'll Pennsylvania. This
event may depend upon the good will of the mer-
OF New York, and they can and should do
much towards bringing it about
