Democratic Sentiment.

OF papers, favorlng the election OF Judge
Douglas, condemning in unmeasured terms
the men who aH acting with John w.
Forncy, in getting up bogus conventions,
and cndeavoring to divide, distract and
destroy the Democratic party.
Col. Wright, ambitious of notorcty,
having so great a mania for creating a sem
sation, that he would rather be kicked out
of room than not noticed at all, has put
himself at the head of this trcasonab'e,
disorganizing movement AS usual, out~
side of Luzernc county, no paper in his
District supports him; and We refer to the
several articles in reference to the convcn-
ton, to show that the solid democracy Of
the State understand and despisc tie
treason and the traitors.
We publish list of the officers so that
the party in the state may see who they
are, who are willing to betray us into the
hands of the republicans Mark them
well-obsorve how the black republican
papers pet and praise them--blrds of
feather will flock together. Hickman has
openly one over he was a follower of
Forney- and the rest of the crew will pr S.
emily be feutd in the same boat. Keep
your eye on them.
The Grcensburg Democrat says -
VI 4. ]
the reasonable designs and efforts of Col.
Fornoy, the paid hircling of Black Repub-
lieanism, and follower of Judge Doug
las as was Judas Iscariot of Christ, only
that he might bctray him. We shall not
follow him, or any others acting with him,
over into the camp of Black Republicanism.
We shall not assist in the election of Mr..
Lincoln and Mr.. Curin, and the defeat of
Gen. Foster and the Democratic party, by
lending our pen to denunciaton of such
honorable agreen ent as only can secure a
Democratic victory
The Pittsburg Post, in long leader,
comes out strongly in favor of union of
the Democratic vote, upon one electoral
ticket. After expressing its decided pref
ercnce for Mr.. Douglas, and its belief that
he is the regular nominee of the party, it
proceeds:
Yet it docs not follow that we may not
in a friendly spirit discuss the difficulties
which surround us, and escape them if we
can without the surrender of principle or
socrifce of organizations. We have i'm.
portant Congressional elections pending,
and gubernatorial contest at hand. En-
thusasm in the ranks is necessary to en-
sure success, and can only be obtained by
unity of action. Whilst we are positive
and clear in our support of Mr.. Douglas
as the regular nominee of the party, we
have not, nor shall we be tempted 10 ex-
press wish or thought in favor of the op,
position candidate as preferable to the
election of John c. Breckenridge or any
other sound Democrat.
No one regrets more deeply than we
the division which exists among the De.
mocracy. Indeed, we are willing to give
up anything, which the rules of the organi.
cation do not bind us to support We
are not one of those who desire, by having
two electoral tickets, to throw the vote
of Pennsylvania for a Black Republican
candidate. 1t is our earnest wish that
every Democrat in Pennsylvania should
cast his vote for united Democratic elcc-
toral ticket.
The Mass Convention called to assemble
at Harrisburg on the 26th inst, was very
slimly attended. Hcndrick b. Wright of
Luzerne county, was called to the chair,
and some two hundred self constituted
Delegates took seats in the Convention.-
Considering the noise and fuss made a.
bout this Convention, the excursion tickets
issued by the several railroads to induce
people to attend, we think Forncy e. Co.,
will put this down as a poor show at an
attempt to disorgapize the Democracy of
the Old Keystone State. After the pass
age of some resolutions, in which the State
Committee are advised, admonished and
threatened if they do not rcscind the Com
promise Resolution adopted at Philadel-
phia, that they will be superseded, their
power annulled, and the management of
the Democracy placed in ether hands, the
Convention adjourned SINE DIE. This
harmless attempt on the part of the For.
ney faction, to bully the State Committee
into steps to divide the party, will pass for
what it is worth and nothing more.

The Jcrscyshore Republican says:
On Thursday last, 200 self-constitutcd
delegates from about one half the counties
iii this State assembled at Harrisburg for
the purpose OF distracting the Democratic
party as far as their limited infencc and
abilities extend Mr.. Buchanan AMI his
Administration came in for full share Of
abuse from those two hundred and nine
distinguished popular chaml ions who have
thought proper to wage war upon the
Democratic party, Tor the sole reason that
it has refused them life long pensions,-
Men who have been lifted from poverty
and obscurity to afflucncc and prominence;
who have held office by Appointment and by
election, until the powers that appoint and
