The following plan of a Union Electoral Ticket in Pennsylvania, has been received with much favor, wherever made known : Pennsylvania is entitled to 27 electors. Let a.L')1::" invention be called. Let the friends ot r illroore and Donclson, and of Fremont nnd Dayton, meet together, and agree upon "6 common electors to bo placed on each ticket. L.et the r ll.more and Donelson ticket be com peted by adding to the 20 common electors a -'thin favor of Fillmore and Donclson. Let the r remont and Dayton ticket be completed by adding a 2, th in favor of Fremont and Day tou. In this way the Opposition would be united as to 2G electors, and would certainly elect those 28. Each ticket would show the preference of every voter. It would indicate the number for Fillmore and the number for I remont. Every Fillmore ticket counted ac cording to this plan must have the 26 common electors upon it, as.well as the Fillmore elec tor. And so must every ticket counted fur Fremont have the 20 common electors upon it as well as the Fremont elector. Otherwise, the friends of Buchanan might interfere with the result by voting for one of the 27th elec tors, in combination with 20 Buchanan elec tors. Let the 20 common electors be pledged to divide their electoral votes between the dif ferent Opposition candidates above named in proportion to the strength of each in the Op position ranks, as indicated by the result at the polls. This plan avoids objections which apply to nearly every other, and combines advantages possessed by no other. Among those advan tages, wo may siate the following : 1. It does not leave the voter in uncertainty as to the result of his vote. Every Fillmore vote would count for Fillmore, and everv Fre mont vote for Fremont. So far as Fillmore vctes are polled will Fillmore electors be elec ted, and so far as Fremont votes are polled will Fremont electors be elected. 2. It would involve no sacrifice of principle or feeling- It would not be a yielding up of cither Fillmore or Fremont, but it would be giving to each as many electoral votes as his strength entitles him to receive. 3. The zeal ofthe respective friends of Fill more and Fremont for their favorite candidate would not, under such an arrangement, be an element of weakness to distract the opposition ranks, and thus increase Buchanan's chance of success, but rather an element of strength, the more certainly iusuring his defeat. 4. It is an arrangement so just to all, that none can object to it except those who wish to give the State to Buchanan. Still iuei Come ! The Norristown Herald, the senior editor of which is a Whig and the junior an American, the Delaware Co. Repnb- lican, an old line Whig paper, the Lehigh Val ley Times, recently a Stockton paper, the Erie True American, the Meadville Spirit of the -tfgf, and the York .1d.coca.tc, all in this State, have within the last two weeks run up the Fremont and Dayton flag.
