RI Ualdeman, in behaifof the Douglas
Democracy of Pennsylvania, is out in a card
in regard to the proposed schemes of fusion
in that State After referring TO the exist
ence of a dsuniCn party at the South, and to
the irregular action of the seccders he, never
theless. consents to union of all the elements
opposed to the trained bands of Republicans,
and says:
"While aware OF the responsibility, |, as
member of the National Democratic Com
mittee, for Pennsylvania, did not hesitate to
unite with Henry NJ. Fuller in presenting the
following written proposition to w. II.
Welsh, Chairman of the Committee, which
was appointed by himself as President of the
Reading Conventions
"'The undersigned, having in full view
the disasters to the country which would
result from the election of Lincoln and Ham
lin, have resolved to recommend a Union
Democratic Anti-Republican electoral ticket,
to be formed in the following manner to wit:
The twelve electors of the Reading ticket,
which are assented to by all branches of the
Democratic party; ten electors selected by
the friends of Bell and Everett: five addi-
tonal electors from the Reading ticket to be
assented to by a majority of the undersigned, =,
in all twenty seven of the Committee of the
several organizations to which they belong.
CAS- it was necessary for me TO depart from
Philadelphia on Monday morning, the 18th
September, with ii. Y. Johnson, | left the
above paper with r. j. Walker, authorizing
him, in the presence of Mr.. johnson, to sign
my name should Mr.. Welsh, at the expected
interview in the morning sign his.
The paper was presented to Mr.. Welsh
| by Mr.. Walker, it being distinctly stated that
4 | was acting in my official capacity as it was
indeed impossible TO divest myself Of it, and
the accompanying information given, which
could not have been new, that Henry NJ Full
| Ter, Chairman of the Bell and Everett State
! Committee was prepared to sign the recon-
mendation.
"Mr Welsh declined immediate action.
Mr. Walker telcgraphed to me, and at p. NJ.
on Tuesday, arrived in Philadelphia to find
! Welsh declined the proposition. not as an
individual, for Mr.. Walker kept distinctly be
! fore him that was acting officially, and that
he treated with him for me officially He,
however intmated that proposition for an
electoral ticket composed of nine Douglas,
nine Bell and Everett, and nine Brecknridge
men might be acceptable This was, of course,
too vague, and besides could not under any
! circumstances, be accepted. Individuallv,
| have gone to the utmost limit beyond the
wishes of most of the Douglas men l have
agreed to recommend seventeen of the Read
ing electoral ticket and ten Bell and Everett
men to the true Democratic Committee. This
is the farthest limit of patriotic concession.
may be severely condemned by my owI
friends for for the liberality of the offer, bu
| hore they will remember the crisis is i'm
minent and the peril to the Union great A
f all events the Douglas party in Pennsylvania
are now in the attitude of having been will
ing to make great concessions for the purpose
of defeating the Republicans l do not al
wise them to go one step further in treating
with rebelious and seeding Democratic
faction. Certainly would not; for, while
corresponding with the Bell and Everett mel
as honorable opponents, | cannot regard tn,
Brccknridgers in any other light than a.
wild and destructive rebels, and in the main
throughout the South disunionists.

"Of National DEM Com. for Penn"
From the above it will be seen that the
Breckinridgeites desire no arrangement, and
that they thus interpose unnecessary difficult
tics
The leading disunionsts all over the South
are vigorously engaged in perfecting their
plans to rule or ruin the Government / have
recently learned from one of the best inform
ed gentlamen of the South, that the Presi-
dent fully sympathizes with the disunionists
and countenances the contemplated attempt
to precipitate the cotton States into a revo-
luton in case they fail TO elect Brecinridgt
and Lane. This plan will be nlatured and
! carried before tho 4th of March.
] Alabama. last winter, by unanimous vote
of her Legislature, made it the duty of the
| Governor, upon the receipt Of the intclli-
gence of the election of the Republican
President, to issue his proclamation directing
the election of delegates TO n Convention,
which shall take immediate steps to with
| draw Alabama from the Union before the 4th
of March. The duty of Gov Moore in the
premises is imperative, no discretion being
| allowed him. Two hundred thousand dol
lars was appropriated 10y the same Legisla.
ture to arm the militia. Similar resolutions
have also passed the Legislatures of South
Carolina and Mississippi, and the latter also
appropriated two hundred thousand dollars
for arms. The conservative men who have
heretofore been check upon the disunionists
of South Carolina, have yielded to the pres
sure and are now the most zealours for dis
union in case Lincoln should be elected. You
will thus see that these movements are being
made in earnest. The people of the NortE-
west have no idea of the extent of this dis
union feeling
The Southern League has an active organi-
zation in every Southern State. Even Ken
tucky has branches located in her midst.
Mark my word Mr. Breckinridge will never
say he is not for dsunion in case Lincoln is
elected Let not the people of the North
think for one moment that the whole dis
union eoterie, from Yancey down, are not
anxious for the election of Lincoln having
given up entirely all hope of electng Breck
inrdge and Lane, however much they may
howl against him. All their future hopes
now hang on his election. If either Doug
las or Bell should be elected they are crushed
out forever
Beprepared to see the greatest military
/ preparations in the South that have occurred
there since the Revolution.
