Taylor withdrawn. lie stated further that
s1 i Electors ou the Fillmore ticket were
pledged to his support.
A committee of thiec froiu the North
American (Fremont) State Committee pre
sented themselves and asked fo: a like com
mittee from the Fillmore wing that they
might consider propositions for a Union
Electoral Ticket. Their request was grant
ed, and a committee of three appointed.
A committee of three from the Republi
can S.ate Committee then appeared with a
similar request, which was also granted.
After a short absence, the North Ameri
can Committee returned, and submitted four
propositions for the formation of a Union
Electoral Ticket. (The propositions em
braced the ideas contained in the several
placs already published in the Tribnne.)
die :.;eoud proposition was offered for
acceptance, as follows:
That the Fillmore American Committee
and the Fremont American Committee shall
cacli s.lect thirteen persons—the persons
so selected kr Electors, to pledge them*
selves 10 east the vote of the State iu pro
portion to the vote polled for the tweufv
sevc-nth Elector. „ ,
Which was i ~-st by a vote of 18 to 4.

which uiay cuable tboso opposed to 31 r.
Buchanan to unito iu support ot' an Elec
toral Ticket which may be elected iu tho
Slate; hut that, however desirous so to unite
we are firmly convinced that there is but
one practical mode of accomplishing so de
sirable an object, and that mode is cordi
ally to unite in support of the American
Electoral Ticket already placed in nomina
tion; and, that this Committee are willing
and ready to cordially extend tire band of
fellowship to their North American brethren

up a any basis likely to receive the support
of the people of Pennsylvania opposed to
the principles of the Cincinnati PlatforwT
and the election of James Buchanan, and in
dicating two ways by which such a result
might be accomplished.
Tnc invitation was rejected by the follow
ing resolution:
Resulted, That we decline to accept eith
er of the propositions of the Republican
S:nte Committee, satisfied that the Klector
s! Ti.-kct already in the field is the only

The Fremont Americans subsequently ad

In consequence of 1*!" rejothtj of every

The twenty six electors are pledged to
cast the votes of the State in the Electoral
College for the respective candidates for
the Presidency and Vice Presidency in ex"
act proportion to the popular vote giveu to
each ticket. This forms a complete union
of the opposition strength in Pennsylvania*
while it enables every voter to indicate his
preference of the Pennsylvania candidates,
without any compromise of bis principles.
Every vote given to the Fremont ticket
eouuts in favor of the principles and candi
dates of the Republican and North AmerE
can parties respectively, and every vote
given to the Fillmore ticket counts in favor
of the Fillmore and Donelson party, and
will be fully represented in the final result-
The undersigned now call upon ail who
arc opposed to slavery extension over free
territory—to the increase of slave repre"
sentation in the federal government, and
to the Cincinnati platform aul its candi
dates—and upou all who desire to preserve
the peace and the honor of the country, and
faithfully to sustain the constitutional
rights of every section nf it, to co operate
with them in this contest for Union, Liber
ty and Justice. Wc solemnly invoke their
active and earnest efforts to overthrow that
sectional organisation which seeks to force
slavery upon a free people at the point of
the sword, and degrade American citizens
by vitiatiug its safe guards at the ballot
box.
Tie uudcrsigned have appointed a com
mittee to prepare an address to the people,
which wii! be published iu a few days.
We are happy to announce that entire
unanimity existed in the proceedings of the
committees, and no doubt is entertained
that the result from common efforts to se
cure the adoption of the Union electoral
tickets now presented, will be bailed with
satisfaction by every citizen of Penusylva
uia, who is honestly hostile to the Cincin
uaii platform and the election of James Bu"
channn to the Presidency.

Mr. Todd, on takiug the chair, addressed
the Convention, and returned bis thanks
for the honor conferred upon him. He said
he placed himself upon the Union Platform.
He had his own preferences for the Presi
dency, but he was willing to uuite wi(h any
party to defeat Buchanan, restore our gov
ernment to its origin ii purity, and preserve
the ancient land marks of the Constitution.
He wanted Union, so that Pennsylvania's
star mav rise higher in the political horizon
to guido us to Freedom and Liberty. Mr.
Todd was enthusiastically applauded, and
when he finished, three long, loud and hear
ty cheers went np from the hall, which fair
ly made the welkin ring.
Mr. Eiie,of Somerset, offered the follow
ing resolution, which was unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, That wc hereby pledge oar
selves to each other and to the people of the
Slate, that we will use every honorable ex
ertiou in our power to secure the success of
the Electoral Ticket this day recommended
to tho people of Pennsylvania for their sup
port, on the following basis subjoined. And
we also express the eonfident hope that its
sueeoss will be complete and entiic on the
4th day of November next;
Twenty-six Electors shall consist of the
saipe names, the twenty-seventh Elector on
the Pilltpore ticket shall consist pf a differ
ent natuc from the twenty-seventh on the
Fremont ticket. For example Millard Fill
more and twenty-si? other nnm® B selected
from the several Congressional districts
shall form one ticket; and John C. Fremont
and the same twenty-six names above re
ferred to shall form the other ticket. The
twenty-gix Electors shall be pledged to
east the electoral votes of the State for
BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 1,1856.
Millard Fillmore and John C. Fremont, re
spectively, precisely in proportion to the
popular votes cast for each, as indicated by
the twenty-seventh Elector on each ticket.
For example, if Millard Fillmore, (or the
twenty-seventh Elector who represents him)
receives an equal number of votes with
Fremont or his Representative, then thir
teen electoral votes shall he given for Mil
lard Fillmore and Donelson, and thirteen for
Fremont, and Dayton.
Mr. Ellmaker moved that a Committee
of one from each Congressional district be

Thorn, and many other Fillmore oicu, pub
lish a card iu this afternoon's Bulletin, de
nouncing Sanderson and his course, and
proclaiming their support of the Union Elec
toral Ticket, all on account of the Repub
lican address published this morning.
J. K. KItT.
The Convention then adjourned with nine
cbeers for the TJuion Electoral Ticket.
Wc understand, says the Boston Travel
ler, that the Associated Press of the Uni
ted States are making the most extensive
and thorough preparations to collect from
all parts of tho Union this side of the Rooky
Mountain®, the result of the Presidential
Election ou the fourth day of next month.
In the State of Pennsylvania, for instance,
there is a very large extent of territory,
with, iu many places, bad roads. Iu this
State alone, several thousand dollars will be
expended, and if there is no failure of agents
a decisive indication of the result there will
at any early hour the next morning, be ob
tained. The same may be said of tho great
State of New York. As soon, therefore,
as the polls close on the 4th day of Novem
ber next, iu all parts of the Union, the work
will begin. Horses, locomotives and the
electric telegraph will collect and carry to
a common centre the returns of the various
States, whero they will be put into shape
and again transmitted to every State and
city of the Union traversed by the telegra
phic wires.
THE WAY THEY DO IT.
The Locofoeo politicians Lave long been
fatuous for tbeir bold frauds iu connection
with the ballot-box. A marked illustration
of their adepfness in the business we have
in Wisconsin. The Legislature io that
State has just concluded its session and ad
journed. The judiciary committee of the
Senate to whom was entrusted the matter of
inquiry into the alledged frauds in the State
canvass last fall, have reporteu"that Hash
ford's majority was rightfully about six
thousand. It will be remembered that
Barstow, Democrat, was originally returned
as elected by fraud; that in pursuance of
that return he seized upon the offic*, threa
tened to sustain himself in it by force, and
in that positiou was upheld by the Democrat
ic Legislature, Sipce then the frauds have
been proven, some of the Demoorjitie mem
bers of the Legislature have turned liepnb-
and the whole thing has thus been
exposed.
J election will soon be, at baud,
which will tell the sad fate of JuiiiC3 Bu
chanan,

Fillmore Men taking Active Part.
Speeches by Gov. Pollock, Hon. C. B.
Penrose, Col. Jl. G. Curlin, Hon.
Hon Lemuel Todd , and Hon.
Robert T. Conrad.
A tremendous meeting of the Fillmore
and Fremont voters of this county was hold
in the Court House last eveuing. William
Mitchell, Esq.. a Fillmore man, presided,
assisted by several Vico Presidents and
Secretaries. Gov. Pollock, who was tbe
first speaker, delivered an able and impres
sive add ress, urging all opposed to the elec
tion of James Buchanan to vote for the
Union Electoral Ticket. By voting this
ticket, ho assured tbeui the fneoda of Fill
more and Fremont could support their own
man, preserve their principles, and secure
the defeat of James Buchanan. The only
possible chance, he said, of success, wax
in voting this ticket; and every true frieud
of Fillmore or Fremont could only support
his candidate effectively by voting for this
ticket. He said he wonld yield it-a cheer
ful support, and ho appealed to all tbe op
ponents of the Shamocracy to aid in its elec
tion.
Hon. Lemuel Todd was the next speaker,
and, as a Fillmore man, avowed his deter
mination to vote for tbe Union Electoral
Ticket headed by Millard Fillmore. Tbe
address of this gentleman was eloquent and
powerful, and had a happy effect upon the
audience. Mr. Todd, although a voung
man, already oeetq ies an enviable position,
and is destined to rise still higher. Hon.
C. B. Penrose, American Senator elect from
Philadelphia, Uol. A. G. Cunin aau Hon.
R. T. Conrad followed in very able and el
oquent addresses. The following resolu
tion was then offered and unanimous!v
ad opted.
RetolvtJ,ThH the Uuhro Electoral Ticket
nominated tL-i.s day was formed upon a basis
of equality and equity, called for by n ne
cessity which admitted no denial except in
utter defeat; formed to advance the princi
ples of all and to sacrifice the principles of
none opposed to the Sham I>emociacv; it
is eminently worthy of iir hearty support,
and we hereby ratify it and pledge our
selves to procure its election.
Tbe meeting adjourned with three cheer s
for the Union Electoral Ticket. The great
est enthusiasm prevailed throng-bent the
proceedings, and all felt confidant of suc
cess on the 4th of November next. — Har

GREAT FRAUDS IN PHILADEL
PHIA
We wish every American citizen would
carefully read the subjoined article from
the Philadelphia Bulletin. It clearly proves
that tho sanctity of the ballot-box wtis most
shamelessly violated at the late election.
No city in the United States has ever
polled so largo a vote as thateast by Phila
delphia yesterday. Although the returns
are probably not all fully reported, it still
exceeds, by 11,217 votes, ths entire poll for
Mayor in May !a.-t. We give below a sum
mary of the entire votes of the city at ali
the important e!ec'?;>ns since 1848:

We have also, at this election, shot fur
ahead of the largest vote ever polled iu the
city of New York, as will bo seen by tbe
following comparative statement of the total
votes in the two cities for a seriet of six
years.

The increase of 11,217 votes within five
months i so eaormous, that no one can pre
tend for a moment that it is a legitimate in
crease. At the election of May laer, there
was great excitement aud a full vote was
out. That there should bo an increase of
11,217 votes in five months is utterly be
yond belief. The frauds rumored must have
been fully eartied out. It is the perpetra
tion of such outrages as this that is to put
our institutions to the test. The people can
uot long cudure their repetition.

TO THE AfIERIfA.\S OE
I'FATSYLVI\IA.
There can be no denial that we, the un
dersigned, have been, and arc, both Ameri
cans and Fill more UICD. We have watched
the progress of the canvass with a profound
attention, worthy of the cause ar;? time 4. . —
From circumstances but recently brought to
light, we are satisfied that plans have been
maturing to hand over the entire American
party to the Democratic platform. In the
address of Chas. Gibbons. Esq., chairman
of ibe Republican State Executive Commit
tee. he states, that ou the J2th of Septem
ber a revolution was passed by the Ameri
can State Committee iu favor of any honor
able arrangement with the friends of Fre
mont and Dayton, to defeat Mr. Buchanan.
We have investigated this fact, and find
that such a was passed. This
fact has hern studiously concealed from the
American party of this city and State. It
is now the time to speak plainly. The
chairman of our Fillmore State Committee
is not now, nor was be ever conuected with
cur American party, nor do wc think that
we should allow even the eutire Executive
Committee to stultify our cause and to con
sign us to cmiio defeat by their cry of
stisight Hue American ticket. Mr. Sander
son does not believe (for he says so) that
tLe Fillmore Electoral ticket can be elect
ed. It is a mere question of how many
votes can we poll as a forlorn hope. There
can r.o evil result to us by uniting upon a
Union Electoral Ticket upon National
ground-. The proposition is to form one
ticket beaded with Fillmore's name, and
another ticket Leaded with Fremont's name,
and the vote in the college to be cast for
each candidate aceoidirig to the number of
votes polled by each ticket. Can anything
he fairer than tins'? We are ever Fillmore
men, and can so express ourselves by oar
votes; and our common political ensiny, who
stands on a platform entirely inimical to
American principles, may be defeated. We
are, by this moans, securing votes in the
Electoral college for Fillmore, where we
would r.ot have one without it. It resolves
itself into a question of utter defeat, by ad
vocatingour candidate in one mode, er of
obtaining for our candidate, by another
mode, a fair p.oportion of the electoral vot e
of Pennsylvania.
For ourselves, we know the responsibili
ties we assume, nod we believe that our
American fri-nds throughout the Luiun
will thank us after the canvass is over.—
Yesterday we should not have made such a
jw -position. To day wc do, because we are
sure that treachery is being attempted, and
we are not willing that our American Par
te which we love as we love our political
existence, shall be handed over as a body
for the uso of the mis-named democratic
party, agliust which we have been battling
since the organiz ition of the American
party.
