The following will show onr readers the game that is played and will be played in Penn.syl- vania. The plan was concocted at Harrisburg, on the 7th of tlie present month by what is called the Union State Committee: Twenty-six electors shall consi.st of the same names; the twenty-seventh elector on the Fill more ticket shall consist of a different name from the twenty-.seventh on the Fremont ticket. For example, Millard Fillmore and twenty-six other names selected from the several Congres sional districts shall form one ticket; and John C. F’remont and the same twenty-six names above referred to shall form the other ticket. The twenty-six electors sliall be pledged to east the electoral vote of the State for Millard Fill more and John C. Fremont, respectively, pre cisely in proportion to the popular votes cast for each, as indicated by the twenty-seventh elector on each ticket. For example, if Mil lard Fillmore (or the twenty-.seventh elector who represents him) receives an equal numhci of votes with John C. Fremont or his rejirc- sentative, then tliirteen electoral votes shall be given for Millard Fillmore and thirteen for John C. Fremont. This association of the Fillmore men with the black repablicans, is an act of political chcatery, more shameless and bare-bneed than is often recorded of party baseness. What southern citizens can be thinking of, when they act and vote with a party whose intentious are deadly hostile to all onr interests and liopes, we are at a loss to guess. We have iio idea that ultimate sneeess will crown this dishonora ble and unholy league—but we desire that our readers may know what sort of constitutional people the Fillmore partizans in Pennsylvania and other places are. rile public generally are invited to attend. On niotiou it was resolved: that the ptO'j feedings of this meeting be published m the Favetteville North Carolinian. 'I be meeting then adjourned until Saturday 1st Nov. next, 10 o’clock, A.

Dear Sir:—1 received with deep mortmea- tion, andai dejection only equalled by the em otions I experienced after having signed the Fugitive Slave Bill, yonr dispatches lowarded to me from Philadelpliia respecting the elections in Penn.sylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Delaware and Florida. My friends in Pennsylvania did all they could, but the villianons democracy have i.,A i?t.t.i;inr that mv lonirer Candida- routed them. Feeling that my longer cy in the field would but defeat the wishes and desi‘'ns of yonrself and my friends Seward and Giddings. I cheerfully withdraw my name from the coiitest, and urge my political friends to rally around the banner of Liberty, Fraternity, Equality, and Fremont. Being just about to sit down to a cold snack of stewed Irishman and a pickled Dutch shoe-maker, put up in the brine shed from the eyes of widows and orphans in Louisville and Baltimore—I mnst bid you a hasty adieu, only bidding you remember, iu tlie words of the poet Patterson— “Amcrikins orter rule Amerikay From rosy morn til close of day!” Yours hungrily— MILLARD FILLMORE. female taste and talent alone can succeed On Tuesday night tiie Biichaiiaii and Breck inridge Club holds its last public meeting, at which time several speeches may be expected from able and proniiiient men, and to which meeting we cordially invite the democracy ot Cumberland. On Thursday, onr military companies will parade; the Fayetteville Cadets will make their first appearance in uniform; the company from ' Gray’s Creek is expected to visit us,—and the splendid Hag, donated by the ladies of Fayette ville to the La Fayette Light Infantry, will be presented to the Corps with appropriate cere monies, at 10 a. m., at the Fay. Female High School. Also, on Thursday, the democracy intend raising a liickory pole, and at night, speeches will be delivered at various localities in town, Friday and Saturday will be devoted to the biisine.ss of the Fair, enlivened perhaps by the annual parade of the Banktaukabogus Grena diers. Most of onr dry goods merchants have now on hand, new' aud splendid stocks of Fall and Winter goods, and we presume tiiat purchas ers will not be scarce.. Altogether we antici pate a most interesting season of multiform festivities next week. An eminent writer says: “It is my firm opinion that the period of courtship cannot be too short. I have reason to .say that when you liave hooked your fish, tlie sooner yon use your landing net the belter.” At the close of a temperance meeting in Paris, Canada West, a person solicited a beau tiful young lady to append her name to the pledge, saying: “Will you give me your name, Missr “No, sir,” was the quick reply; “I have promised my name to another gentleman.” j®-Oar Robeson friends are going to work with the right spirit. We shall be pleased to respond to their invitation on next Saturday to meet the Democracy of the staunch old county at Lumber Bridge. j^-We are authorized to state that Messrs Lemuel Burket and Jas. M. Monk will give their hearty support to Mr Buchanan. These gentlemen have hitherto supported the know nothing party, artd one of them is, we learn, a staonch old line whig. men were turned loose again iqinn society, without the payment of a single dollar, either of the fine imposed upon them or of the costs of prosecution. One of the thieves is now an lo'ent of the underground railroad, for running , off slaves from the Sontli, in Boston, and the otlier is a rampant Black republican in New York. Bead the history of the whole black transaction. Read every word of it. Quote it upon the know-nothings when they tell you that Millard Fillmore will do for Southern men Point them to Sumner’s and Giddings’ complicity in the affair. Slionld they tell you that the owners of the slaves themselves peti tioned Mr Fillmore for the pardon of the rob bers, tell them they 1— dont speak the tnitli. ’Taint so. If Hale, Giddings. Sumner, Hor ace Greely and Palfrey, were the owners, then they’re correct. Otherwise they draw upon tlieir imaginations. Read it elo.sely. Don t let a word escape you. It is important that tliis foul abolition outrage be known to every man in tlie country. It is no time-serving cliarge. It is true: every word of it. Mr Fillmore was at least honest when he declared that he “knew no South”—and we hope that the votes of Southern men will prove liiat they know no Millard I illmore. the record:— Pardon by Mr. Fillmore of Daniel TON AND Edward Sayres—Parties crmvicted in the criminal court of the Dish id nj Cvliim- biit, of enticing away and Iranspvrling seventy- three staves from said Distrid. As a practical illustration of the views of Mr Fillmore in relation to slavery in the District of Columbia, and the riglits of slavc-lioldcrs gen- crallv we submit the following facts: In'the year 1848 the city of Wasliington was startled liy the anuonneement that a very large iHiiiiber of its slave pojnilation had absconded upon the same night. Suspicion was directed against a particular ves.scl which had left the port of Washington; it was pursued and over taken, and concenled under hutches were fonuD .serenli/-three slaves belonging to citizens of the j District of Columbia and of the Stoles of Ala ry-\ loud and Virginia. The vessel was in cliarge ' of three while men from the north. The slaves and the kidnappers were brought back to the city and placed in pri.soii. T’he itillowing rccortl shows the action of tlic criminal court in tlie case: Criminal court of the District of Columbia, for tlie comity of Washington. March term, 1849. United States) May 8. Convicted oftrans- i-s. >• porting slaves in 73 cases, Daniel Drayton. ) and sentenced hy the court in each case to pay a fine ol $140 and costs, one half of the fine lo the owner of the stares, acc'irditig to tlie act of Aid., of 1 t9b, ch.^fi7. Ordered to be committed to the jai inglon county till fines and costs are paid. Same miniber of cases vs. Edward Sayers, and fined $100 and cost in each, and committed as iiliove. Test: JOHN A. SMITH,Clerk. Under this law of Maryland, ill force in the District of Columbia, the penalty is a fine not exceediii'g two liaiidred dollars, with imprison-j mciit in tlie county jail as the alternative ot i non-payment. 'I'liis act was pastsed in 1796,1 and was tlicn deemed sufficient to prevent such I offences, but we feel assured there is not a slave State in which the commission of such a crime does not now subject the offender to iiiipri.soii- meiit ill the penitentiary at hard labor for many years. It will be seen that the court did not impose the ma.ximum fine in either case, one lialf of which, tinder the express terms ot the law, inured to the owners of the slaves, and the other to the “commissioners of the county.” The eost belonged to the United States, by whom all the expenses of the prosecution had been paid. Before we exhibit the record, to sliow under whose authority these men were dis- arged, we ask our readers to consider their offence and its consequences. It was not the transportation of a single or a few slaves: the number was seventy-three. From the confessions of one of the parties, it was proven that money was the iiiolive on their part, and that the wliole scheme was under the maiiagcmeiit of northern abolitionists, and doubtless was one of those “underground rail ways” now so boastfully spoken of. Joshua R. Giddings, of Ohio, immediately upon the imprisoiiraeiit of the offenders, visited them at the jail, and showed by Ids conduct that he rejoiced iu their act. Horace Mann, member of Congress from Massaelinsetts, and of equal notoriety as an abolitionist, was one of llieir counsel, and during the trial actually de nied tlie legality of slavery iu the District of Columbia. M’liut were the consequeiice.s? let us enumerate them: the invasion of private rights and the violation of public law, accom panied with very considerable expense to the individual owners, aud much more to the United States; tlie disturbance of the peace of tlie seat of government wliilst Congress was iu session; for the indignation of the. citizens of Washington, exasperated by previous losses, and now by this wholesale robbery broke out into an angry mob This danger proved so tlireatening, that special meetings of the muni cipal authorities were held, and the President 4. .1._ CfnfAiac Mr Polk h«!ii nnnsnlta- discriminate be- Slates, into He voted that Congress may tween the institutions of tlie dillcrent with a view to abolisli those qt some btate.s, and to promote those of others.

Ill 1850, he proposed and urged tlie ex tension of the Missouri compromise lo the Pa cific ocean. 10. But he promptly acquiesced in the com promise of 1850, and empioy'ed all his influence Ill tavor of the laitliful execution of the lugitive slave law. 11.

In 1854, he negotiated for the acquisi tion of Cuba. 13. Ill 1856, he approved the repeal of the Missouri restriction, aud supports the principles of the Kaiisas-Nebraska act. 14. He is in favor of the admission of new- slave states on equal terms witli free states. 15. He labored lo adjust our difficulties with England, growing out of the improviUeut trea ties of IVlr Fillmore. Having completed the review of the record of the two comiietiug candidates, we find tiiat of Mr Buchanan clear, direct, and adequate to tlie protection of the south, pledged to assure it a fair participatiou in the progress of the coun try. That of Mr Fillmore is dangerous in its autecedents and deceptive iu its present posi tion. We are aware his southern friends con tend that he is sound, that they refuse to exact of liini any specific response upou tlie great ques tions which agitate the country. Tliis conceal ment on the part of one branch of his supporters is now perliaps, surprising. But tiiat wliigs— soutlieru wliigs who bearded Jackson himself, should intrust their country entirely lo “execu tive direction,” is a uoiiticul aiiauioly not lo be explained upon any principle except a partizau hostility deplorable in the present excited con dition of the country. 3,744 1,-Z05 6Z6 GliS 646 3116 752 14 308 2i3 604 of the United States, Mr Polk, held consulta tion with tliem as to the best means of preser ving tlic peace of the Capital.
