NEW TACTICS OF THE L0C0F0C03. Tho Democratic loaders are a queer set of fellows, and are given to as methodical whims as Sterne was in writing Tristram Shandy yon can't even make a respectable guess at what is coming next. It is only a few months since the Locofoco papers of this State were filled with the coarsest abuse of the Know Nothing Party and its candidates. Fillmore was to them all that was vile and wicked in politics, and his adherents were denounced by them as "cut-throats," "midnight conspira tors." enemies of the Constitution and traitors to tho country. Then, no ono supposed that a change could bo effected in their opinions. But, it appears, that this was a wrong conclu sion ; lor it would almost seem as if the Dem ocratic politicians and presses were, of late, determined to take Fillmore and his adherents under their special protection, whether the lat ter are willing or not. Instead of their former fierce denunciations, we now hear the Democ racy indulging in the most fulsome adulation of Fillmore, declare, they would speak of him "with entire respect," and a stranger would be led to believe that they were ardent sup porters of him, whom they were erst pleased to call the "dark-lantern" candidate. We have no idea that the honest Fillmore men of the State will suffer themselves to be duped by this false flattery. Wo know that they hate Buchanan and his party with an in tensity that cannot be described, and that they have no notion of being used as instruments to promote Buchanan's election. Yet this i3 the sole motive of the altered tone of the Bu chanan leaders and presses. They have the sagacity to see that their only hope of carry ing Pennsylvania is in fostering a third party movement which will divide the opposition and suffer Buchanan to slip in between the two ; and to this end they are lending all their means and energies. This is the secret of the new political tactics which the Buchaneers are practising ; and of late this purpose has been made so transpa rent that it is marvelous that all have not seen through it. No honest man likes to be used as a tool ; and no honorable man w ill permit himself to bo employed as a means of accom plishing an end which he despises. Those citizens of Pennsylvania, therefore, who, while they prefer Fillmore to all the other candi dates, are yet supremely desirous to see Eu chanan defeated, ought to bo able to detect, m the present behavior of the Buchanan men towards tliem, a purpose to further, at their ex pense, the cause of Buchanan. 'Whilst pre tending friendship, their real intention is to keep up a split between tho Fillmore and Fre mont men. All observant men have learned that there is no friendship so fatal ns that of a suddenly reconciled enemy. THE OCTOBER ELECTION. Amidst the excitement that now prevails in regard to the Presidential contest, attention seems to be withdrawn from the importance of the October election. Every one is' aware of tho controlling influence exerted upon the Presidential by tho State election, aside from tho importance which attaches to itself ; and we fear that whilst the Opposition to Buchan an is absorbed with the former, the Democra cy are busy at maturing schemes to defeat our State, District and Connty tickets. The elec tion of a Canal Commissioner is a matter of greater moment than is generally supposed. Thc-wholcsale swindling perpetrated, during the last quarter of a century, on our public works, which were nnder the supervision of the Canal Commissioners, is a suflicient re minder of the importance of this office. The offices of Auditor General and Surveyor Gen eral are also of vast responsibility, and worthy f the serious attention of every citizen of Pennsylvania. Ia tho individuals who com pose the Union State Ticket we believe wo have men who would do honor tc tho respec tive stations for which they arc named, and who are in every respect qualified to discharge Mm t "7 VV,Ch W",d deVoWo P" them in tho ent of their election. Every American and opponent of the Buchanan party 8h"M give his hearty support to Cochran, phcln9 I nd Laporte. ps Col. J. S. Myers, our candidate for Con fess, b. Linn, Esq., Hon. J. T. Hale, Gcn.W.

HOW THEY TALK The last Clearfield Republican says : "It is highly gratifying to hear of old lineurhigs an nouncing their determination to support Bu chanan and Breckenridgc," and then names several among others "the Gilpins, Reed, Ran dall," tec. In order to show what reliance can be placed in the statements of the Repub lican, we give the follow ing brief extract from a speech delivered by Hon. Charles Gilpin, at a meeting on the evening of the 4th August, as we find it in the U. S. Gazelle : I advocate the election of J. C. Fremont to the Presidency, and propose to state the rea sons why. The candidates in the field are Fremont, Buchanan and Fillmore. Buchanan stands on the Cincinnati platform ; he will not, he says, add to or take from it a single plank ; ho promises to carry out the practices of Franklin Pierce, which have been slavery ex tension, and adopts the policy of Senator Dou glas. I cannot stand on that platform, I do not approve of the acts of the present adminis tration on this subject, and I condemn the pol icy and political theories of Senator Douglas as unsound under the Constitution, injurious to the present and future prosperity of the country, and threatening to the stability of the Union itself. I cannot, therefore, however much I may admire Mr. Buchanan, support him for the Presidency of the United States. The Republican must have got into tho wrong pew when he thought this "Gilpin" was in favor of "ten-cent Jimmv." THE STATE ELECTIONS. Elections were held last week in Iowa, Ken tucky, Missouri, Arkansas and X. Carolina. In Iowa, the Fremont State ticket ts trium phantly elected, and the majority may be safe ly estimated at from 5,000 to 8,000. Kentucky is close, but the probabilities are that the Americans will have a majority in the State, though the Democrats have gain ed heavily. Returns from 50 counties give the Americans a majority of 3,7G3, but this shows a Democratic gain of 7,300. It should, how ever, be borne in mind that the election was lor county and local officers. Wc are not yet able to tell who is elected in Missouri, though the chances arc in favor of Ewing. Returns from about half of tho State foot up as follows : Ewing, American, 22;.573 l.enton, Democrat, - - 14,777 Polk, anti-Bcnton Dem. - - 21,83 1 In North Carolina, Bragg, Democrat, is c lectcd Governor by 0,000 or 10,000 majority The Democrats have also gained about twenty members of tho Legislature. From Arkansas but meagre returns hav been received. Philips and Desha counties give Yell, the American candidate for Gover nor, majorities, and St. Nicholas goes for the Democrats. Beyond this we have nothing; but hopes arc entertained that Yell is elected California. In reply to a requisition from Gov. Johnston, of California, for the use of the military and naval forces of the U. States, as well a3 arms and ammunition, to suppress the Vigilance Committee's operations, the President, after consulting the Attorney Gen eral, has decided that the application must be made by the Legislature, unless it is clear that the Governor cannot couvene it, and re fuses for that reason to lend the forces, &c, asked for. Till the Legislature can be called together, the Vigilance committee will doubt less continue its labors. Tho condition of California seems to bo critical, and it is feared that an attempt will bo made to overthrow the State Government and establish a Pacific R public. Some of the California papers are advocating such a movement. The Resolution reported by the Committee on Elections in the House of Representatives. declaring that Whitcfield, the sitting delegate from Kansas, was not entitled to his seat, was adopted in the House, on Friday last, by a vote of 110 to 02. The House then voted on the second resolution which, whilst it admit ted that Mr. Render had not been chosen ac cording to the technical forms of law, reconi mended that ho be allowed his teat, because he was the choice of a large majority of the ac tual residents of the territory. This proposi tion was rejected by a vote of 113 to 88. The claims of both contestants have thus been dis allowed, and Kansas is left without a represen tative. Oru Candidate for Congress. Bv a refer encc to the proceedings of the Congressional Conlerence, it will be seen that Col. James S Myers, of Venango county, has been placed in nomination ns tho candidate of the Ameri cans and Opponents of the Pierce Democracy for Congress. Mr. Myers is a man of ability, a lawyer by profession, and iti every relation ol lite has proved himself a good neighbor and faithful citizen. He is worthy the undivided ana hearty support of all lovers of our coun try's perpetuity and welfare. We see some Locofoco naners trvinz to cre ate the impression that Herbert; the murderer of Keating, was a Know-Nothing. Now, tho truth is that Herbert is not onlv a Domncrit but was actually member of the National Convention which nominated Buchanan ho was elected to Congress before the Amorin party made its advent in California he voted over a hundred times for Sneaker. a Democrat, and has kept on voting that way ever since, except when he was in jail and couldn't.

Mr. Row: In an article in the last Clear field Republican, I find the following language used in regard to myself: "Mr. J. is decidedly an aspiring gentleman. A certain kind of fowls are generally seen up on the fence just before a rain. It is so with Mr. Jones, and he may generally, if not al ways, bo found upon the fence just before our elections. Last fall Mr. J. was a candidate for nomination lor County Commissioner, and re ceived the enormous number of 82 votes in the county. His Democracy has been more than doubted," &c. As regards tho "aspiring," I suppose this modern Daniel means aspiring to office. If he means that, I pronounce the charge false. I never asked an oflice, but last fall some of my friends desired mc to have myself announced as a candidate for Commissioner, when Mr. Wilhelm was nominated. I supported him, and voted at that election, as I had for twenty years previous, a full Democratic ticket. I thiuk 1). W. Moore is the only man who doubt ed my Democracy during that period. When men's hearts are not right they are opt to judge. "Who are thou that judgestthy neigh bor, or who hath made thee a judge." I don't know what Daniel meant by his alln sion to "a certain kind of fowls," but 1 sup pose he regards himself as a mighty Demo cratic hawk that presumes to fix his talons on such as withdraw from the Locofoco coop, and oppose the extension of slavery, intemperance, &c. I would here say to my Democratic friends who were candidates last fall, that if you do not obey Danny's commandments, you may expect that he will tell you through his paper that when you were a candidate you re ceived the "enormous number" of 48, 43 or 30 votes for Sheriff, in the county. Mr. Editor, I should perhaps apologise for troubling you in this way, but I could not pass by silently the low, contemptible attach of my neighbor D. W. Moore, who has been in the habit of shamefully abusing those who saw fit to differ with him. Yours, Sec. Clearfield, Aug. 0, 'oG. Jos. II. Jo.nes. For the Raftsman's Journal.. Acknowledgments.

The editor of the Cleveland Leader estimates the number present at 100,000, mostly young men. Hundreds of banners flash through the streets and hang from the windows. The pro cession was miles in length. Four strds were erected ; three for English and one Tor German speakers. Among the former were Cassius M. Clay, A. Burlingamc, Col. Lane, and Caleb B. Smith of Ohio. The Davton meeting is to be followed by four others dur ing the month of August, at Fremont, Zancs ville, Chillioothc, andMassillon, respectively. Ohio means to be the Banner State. A Silly Objection. It is contended by some that if Fremont is elected President, he would be compelled to make all his appoint ments from the Northern States, because men in the South would not serve under him. This is almost too silly to be noticed, and to refute such an idea it is only necessary to refer to tho lact that in Missouri, Texas, and several other Southern States, it is contemplated to form t remont electoral tickets in a short time In Georgia there is a strong Fremont element. and the Wilkes Co. Republican, in that State, has now the Fremont flag flying at its mast head. Besides this, we find such men as Cas ius M.Clay, of Kentucky, and J. C. Under wood, of V irgitiia, the unwavering advocates ol I- remont s election. A message was sent to the Senate bv the President, stating, in reply to a resolution of that boIy, that no order had been issued from the War Department to any officer command ing in Kansas, to disperse any unarmed meet ing of tho people of tho Territory, or to pre vent them, by military power, from assem bling. From the correspondence submitted the Secretary of War is not satisfied that the circumstances were such as to justify Col. Sumner in employing the militarv force to dis perse the Assembly at Topcka, and he has called upon him to communicate morn tnllv upon that point, it not yet fully appearing that tho case was ono upon which bv his instruc tions, he was authorized to act. Blair Coiktv. At the late term of tho Blair county court, James D. Davis, charged witn the killing of James R. Johnston, was found guilty of murder in tho Second do-rr.

Convention met again, and after being called to order, the Committee appoint ed for that purpose, made a report in relation to a L'nion Electoral ticket, which, after a full interchange of sentiment, was adopted with out a dissenting voice, and the Secretaries were instructed by resolution of the Conven tion, to attach the names of the delegates to the Address : To Tie Slate Central Committees of the American ant JicpHolican parties of Pennsylvania, to get her u ith all the Friends of Freedom. The Congressional Conference composed of me counties oi Clarion, Clearfield, Elk, Forest, JcfK-rson, McKean, Venango and Warren, held in Brookville, Aug.

While we sug gest this mode of forminz the ticket wear willing to unite upon a ticket made upon anv other fair basis. Wc feel that anv union will secure our success, and that this is the fL-. lin that is predominant with the people of our cn- ure jimi icr. i ney are demanding a union Shall their desire be gratified We therefore on behalf of those we represent, recommend that the State Central committees, of the A- merican and Kepublican parties meet in joint truuiereiice and lorm a Union Electoral ticket Signed as ordered.

The State Convention called for the purpose of nominating an Electoral ticket to be sup. ported by the friends ot Fillmore and Donel son, convened in the Hall of the House of Re presentatives on Tuesday 5th inst, at 10 o' clock, A. M., and was temporarily organized by the election of Lion. Jasper E. Brant, of Allegheny county, Chairman, and Geo. B. M' Crcary, Samuel Young, A. L. Henershotz and E. Jeffries, Secretaries. On motion, a committee of nino was appoin ted to examine credentials, and a committee of a like number to report permanent officers, alter which the Convention took a recess until the committee on credentials should report. The list of delegates reported emlraced 93. Mr. Wright, from the committee on organiza tion reported the following list of officers : President Hon. Andrlw Stewart, of Fa yette county. Vice Presidents Jasper E.Brady, E. P. Har vey, Richard Miles, Jacob Bomberger, Reuben Guth, Joseph K. Flanigen, George T. Hum mel, Alex. Stutzman, E. P. Blanchard, W. II. Slingluff, Leffoit Hart, 11. P. lleckman, and II. B. Swoope. Secretaries A. L. Hennershotz, Ephraim Jones, Geo. B. M'Creary, Fred. Adams. After the transaction of some unimportant business, on motion a committee of nine was appointed to draft resolutions. Hon. J. R. Ingersoll, of Philadelphia, and Hon. A. Stew art, of Fayette, were then chosen as Senatorial Electors. A committee of nine was appointed to whom the delegates were to rcpoit the choice of elector for their district. Convention then adjourned to 2J o'clock. Afternoon Session. Upon the re-assembling of the Convention after dinner, Mr.Edie, of Somerset, rose and remarked that a resolu tion had been adopted during the morning ses sion before he had an opportunity of objecting to it, and he now held in his hand a proposi tion which he intended to offer for the purpose of placing himself right upon the record. He believed that the selection of an Electoral ticket at this time was entirely premature.and ought to be postponed. He then submitted the following resolutions : Resolved, That the committee appointed du ring the morning session of this Convention to suggest the mimes of District Electors to this Convention, be and are hereby discharged from the further performance of that duty. Resolved, That the nomination of candidates for District Electors be deferred until after the next general election ; and that a committee of thirteen be appointed by the Chair, whose duty it shall be, al ter the 2d Tuesd.iy of Octo ber next, to present to the people of Pennsyl vania such an Electoral ticket as will in their judgment be best calculated to promote the success of Fillmore and Donelson in this State. Mr. Flanigen moved that the resolutions be laid upon the table. On this motion the yeas and nays were cal led and resulted yeas 72, nays 18. So the motion was agreed to. Mr. Sanderson, from the committee on res olutions reported the following, which were unanimously adopted : Whereas, A Presidential election is to be held in November next, and the affairs of the Nation, at tho present crisis, demand the most thoughtful consideration ol every true patriot, in the exercise of wisdom, prudence and pa triotism, in order to harmonize the agitated elements that now distract the American peo ple, and restore the country to that content ment, peace and quietude in which the pres ent Administration found it on its accession to power : - ind whereas, Those here assembled, and those whom they represent, considering the peculiar and threatening crisis of anairs now existing, and ttie duties incident thereto, be lieve that our present and future existence as a free, united and independent people, th t protection ol our rights as freemen, the pre servation of tho Constitution, and the perne tuity of the Union, conspire to enjoin upon all good citizens, not to hazard the experiment of new and untried men, but to select a man of tried personal and political integrltv, of liber al and patriotic feelings, of enlarged national views, of sound republican principles, who is acquainted with the genius and spirit of our government, and who, in times past, has i.rov ed himself faithful to the Constitution, and exhibited the qualities of a statesman, which atlord to the country an assurance that, if c iucicu, ne win administer the government in accordance with the tine spirit of the Consti tution, ana once more restore it to the policy of Washington : .ind whereas, A candidate has been present ed to the people of the United States, in the person ol .Hi Hard Fillmore, of New York, who, in an tne requisite qualifications of a states man, in soundness of mind, energy of intel lect.clear and comprehensive judgment, knowl edge ot our Constitution, laws and institutions, integrity of character, purity of purpose, and devotion to the Union, it may be safety assert ed is second to no statesman in the countrv Therefore be it Resolvet, That this Convention, represent ing the conservative, sober-minded, patriotic and Union-loving people of Pennsylvania. who are opposed to radicalism, whether advocated and sustained under the guise of Democracy or Republicanism, hereby declares in favor of Millard Fillmore, that pure statesman and de voted patriot, whose former administration of the government was extolled even by its oppo nents as Washington-like believing him to be, above all other men named for the Presi dency, the man for the crisis, lie possesses in a more euimincnt degree than any other statesman now living a combination of quali ties essential to a proper discharge of the du ties of the Chief Magistracy of the Union, to secure the respect and confidence of the A merican people, protect the great interests of the country, give prominence to our free in stitutions, insure peace and happiness among ourselves, and command respect from every people with whom we may have intercourse as a nation.

That, guided by theso princi ples, wc wage uncompromising opposition t the reckless and urwise policy of the present Administration in the general management of our national affairs, and more especially as shown in removing "Americans" (by designa tion) and conservative in principle, from of fice, and placing foreigners and ultraists in their places ; as shown in a truckling subser viency to the stronger and an insolent and cowardly bravado towards the weaker powers ; as shown in re-opening sectional agitation, by the repeal of the Missouri Compromise; as shown in granting to unnaturalized foreigners the right to suffrage in Kansas and Nebraska; as shown in its vasodilating course on the Kansas-Nebraska question ; as shown in the cor ruptions which pervade some of the depart ments of the government; as shown in dis gracing meritorious naval officers through pre judice or caprice, and as shown in the blun dering mismanagement of our foreign relations.

Mr. Edio moved that the Convention do now adjourn sine die. Not agreed to. A motion to lay the resolution on the table then prevailed. Alter a good deal of confusion and a varie ty of motions, the same proposition was re newed in a slightly modified shape, and gave rise to a long and exciting debate.

T ll- l. u Presidential contest will withdraw the atten tion of the opposition from the State election and thereby jeopardize the success of their ticket. This must be guarded acaint if cannot be too strongly impressed upon tho minds of the friends of the Union ticket that every rote cast in October will ot only go to uie laicoi tne candidates for State, district and county officers, but will t..'i ico. upon the November election, and the press should keep this fact prominently Ix-for !. public. Two years aso the r.nlrnntnr;i Congressional election in Pennsylvania ti.rn,..! chiefly upon tho Kansas-Nebraska question, ana tne result was a complete triumph for the opponents of slavery extension. This nno. tion has since that time acquired additional importance from the proceedings of th l.or- der ruffians, sanctioned and encouraged, if not instigate,!, by the National Administration, and the judgment then passed will le re aflinned, wc have no doubt, if the public sen timent be fairly and fully ascertained. Whilst, therefore, there should be no abatement in the efforts that are being put forth to defeat tho slavery propagandists in the Presidential elec tion, proper means should also be used to en sure the success of our state and local candi. dates by a full vote in October.
