UNION OF THE DEMOCRACY.

In these times Of detection and disorganiza,
ton, of faction and of sectionalism, it is re-
freshing TO hear, from ono Of the largest and
most influential States Of the Union, the voice
of the Waterman proclaiming in cheering tones
that all is well. The good old Keystone State
stands firm. Her national democracy are
united and harmonious. Factions do not lift
their hydra heads within her borders.
If the press of the country, if the leaders in
the ranks Of our party would only do their
duty, if they would frown upon all insubordina-
ton, denounce all disorganizers, and lash even
to excoriation all factonists, The national de-
mocracy would present the same compact or
ganizaton the same solid column in other
States, now divided and distracted, as in the
good old Keystone State. We extract from
the PRnSyleaaian the following article, which
cannot fail to encourage all who value well
ceinented organization of the democracy.
Pennsylvanla's Stirling Nationality.
There is an oder of old-lashioned nationality
about PENNSYLVANIA, which, in these days when
politicians are looking back upon their past per-
iormances, and recalling all their deeds for and
against that great sentiment Is especially refresh
ing. We are of those who believe, and always
have believed that 10 be true 10 this great doc
trine is among the first duties If il be not the very
first duty OF a democrat. Ii can never be deserted
without shame and defeat following fast upon the
heels of those who yield or abandon it, Even al
this day, when the voice of the nation pleads for
peace and for rest, and for brief truce al least
to the Internal spirit of slavery agitation, we find
IN our borders society re-organiZcd and revived
pledged EXTREMIST
Pennsylvania cannot, II she would, be silent in
the midst oil these camors. Her voice Is necessa-
ry once more rs an assurance 10 the nation, that
within her borders, NJ least, party can find a
firm foothold lasting home which maintains
an anti-sonthern organization or adherence 10
abolition sectional principles.
On the second Tuesday OF October OF last year
what democrat OF Pennsylvania will ever forget
the event that made yalor and orr virtue on this
great doctrine immortal-we were doubted I'll over
the Union, and thousands who knew the value OF
thorough democratic triumph in this the second
State of thirty-one, We're prepared 10 see MS de-
feated Here combined and corrupt antagonism
had Sc, up its banner. Here these most reckless
gamesters OF reckless opposition had established
their headquarters Here money, spent 10 over
throw the democracy, was poured out like water.
In the face of all these depressing circumstances
the fears of our friends, and the ntrigues of our
toes-we persevered and pressed forward, and
the sun Of October descended upon the most eio-
rious triumph which had been achieved by her
democracy since the days of JACKSON
We make next Tuesday another of the
white days in our calendar. Let US do il, We
have the votes 10 do it, Let these be forthcoming,
and all will be well. A united democracy. eX-
tending from the Atlantic TO the Pacific, and from
the Mississippi 10 the Lakes, will hail this result
evidence of our deep and deathess faith in
the Constitution, and ineXiinguishablc fidelity
TO the great doctrine of nationality.
All our candidates national men--all are
pable-all are sound orthodox denocrats-anda all
deserve the votes OF their political associates. Let
us give them old-fashioned vote, and thus
cure an old-ashioned victory.
