GENrLEMEN.-It is with feelings of the creates,
pleasure that am enabled to inform you of the
complete union of the democratic party in Pcnnsyl-
yania. The democratic state convention assembled
yesterday in this place, according to recommends
ton of the National Convention) and when the
names of the counties were called of, 1t appeared
every county but three were represented. General
Cunningham Speaker of the Senate of Pa. was elec-
ted President, with Vice-Presidents, and secre-
taries, 1873 members were in attendance. There
was pretty even division ofthe two parties, Wolf
and Muhlenberg, and the officers were accordingly
chosen. To-day, when the Electoral Ticket was
formed, nearly every member present voted for the
same gentlemen who we're placed in nomination for
electors on the 9TH of March last, by the friends of
Mr.. Wolf
The democratic party have now but one Elector-
al Ticket in Pa. and are as fully united as ever

this state of 10000. We had very large union
celebration last night, and the good feelings exhibit

the occasion. As by resolution, it was resolved,
that the proceedings of the Convention should be
published in all the democratic papers in the Union
