1 UNION ELECTORAL TICKET.
FTM Mm.
ine loiiowing plan of a Union Electoral
Ticket in Pennsylvania, has been received with
much favor, wherever made known :
i ennsyivania is entitled to 27 electors. Let
a u nion Convention be called. Let the friends
of Fillmore and Donelson, and of Fremont
ana uayton, meet together, and agree upon 26
common electors to be placed on each ticket.

uy auuing a .win in iavoror ! remont and Dav
iu.i. xn mis way mo apposition would be
united as to 2G electors, and would certainly
elect those 2G. Each ticket would show the
pieiereucc oi every voter. It would indicate
mo numucr lor ti more nr.,1 n,.ri.- r

cording to this plan must have the 2S common
electors upon it, as well as the Fillmore elec
tor. And SO must everv tipL-A r.r.,,f...l r.,..
....... ' ' UU1IIU1.I 1 Ul
Fremont have the 2G common electors upon it,
as well as the Fremont elector. Otherwise,
the friends of Buchanan mi?bt. intrfo t.
the result by voting for one of the 27th elec
tors, in combination with 2r, Ttnpl.ar.or,
tors. Let the 26 common electors be pledged
to divide their electoral votes between tho dif
ferent Opposition candidates above named in
proportion to the strength of each in the Op
position ranks, as indicated by the result at
tho polls.
This plan avoids objections wh
nearly every other, and combines advantages
possessed by no other. Among those advan
tages, we may state the follmvinn .
1. It does not leave the voter Tn nnrprfninfv
as to the result of his vot PrA i.';iimnm
vote would count for Fillmore, ami
montvoto for Fremont. So far as Fiflmnrn
votes arc polled will Fillmore electors be elec
ted, anu so far ns i remont votes arc polled
will Fremont electors be elected.
It would involve no sacrifice of nrinpir.l
or feeling- It would not be a yielding up of
either Fillmore or Fremont, but it would be
gi ing to eacii as many electoral votes as his
strenjriu entitles him torcmiv,.
