George Z. Pugh and Albert Rust, Douglass Ma
tior al Executive Committee, communicating the
Breckenridge men from the Democratic party and
depouncirg all attempts at coalition with them'
has been published at length. 1t Is very solemn
docums Mt, and by no means easy reading for
extreme hot weather. In fact, between sleep and
the ies, it must try the resolution of even the in.
tensest Douglaste to master it at single sitting.
We believe in the Final Perseverance of the
Saints; but we insist that reading the iulmina-
tons of the Douglas Executive Committee is not
among their appointed ordeas. All of Messrs.
Taylcr & Co.'s screed that has any point is con-
tanned in the following peroratiOn:
"Peow Czens We have thus explained at length the con-
overy between the supporters of Breckenridge and Lane
upon the one side and the gus nominees Of the Democratic
party upon the other.
remains for US TO add the sentiment Of the Democratic
National Committee and the universal sentiment OF the sup
porers of Douglas and Johnson that epoise h1terer
is admirable We de,re to ascertain the strength oil the Ma
ona Democracy every State North and South and we In
tend TO ascertain We have made proposition for joint
electoral ticket State and we earnestly exhort you TO TO-
iect such propositions Indignantly whenever aud wherever
made II we have any friends in any State let those friends
call State Convention at and nominate full electoral
ticket pledged the exclusive support OF Douglas and
can agree nothing e because to acknowledge the nsh
of acious minority dictate their terms OF operation
sHer them violate the solemn professions oil the Demo
cratic party and trampe under foot our Democratic usases-
would be dband the National organization at once DO not
fail therefore, act Immediately assemble yesevery
where by States counties and by neghborhoOd take no
counsel and listen TO suggestion om those who have SO
shameuy deserted the National Democracy Every vote Tor
Breckenridge and Lane vote indirectly at least for Lincoln
and Hsmln for insuguraDg "repessible conflict
between the North and the South and therefore, vote tor the
dsunon OF the States.
b. not deceived by the plausible assertions of your enemies
Breckenridge have strength not the least In any Of
the Northern States They will receive electoral vote
In the North and except perhaps In three OF io Noeih
States, will no, have electoral ticket
On the other hand If the Southern Democracy should now
des the Democracy Of the North Il would be end of the
alliance between them What remains then, to the South
she Constitution the Union and Iteer'y
OF the Democratic party but the cordial support AUD
consequent election of Douglas and johnson
ave commit these issues your determination Their i'm
posnce be emated they involve the fate Of the
Democratic party and OF that Union has faithfully and con-
stsny, and zeaously maintained
"MILEs TAYLOR Chairman,
"GEO. T. PUGH,
"ALBERT RUST"
1t must be great relief to nervous old ladies
TO learn that these h.rrible Black Republicans are
not the only Disunionists. For years, "the Ma
tonal DemOci acy" has been charging Disunlon
upon us, though we have all along insisted that we
not only would not dissolve the Union ourselves,
but that we would not allow others to dissolve it.
Now it seems that We are not half so dangerous
and disloyal as the Breckenridge men; though they
have not changed one hair since the recent period
when they were good National Democrats and we
alone were traitors Ii ia evidently the dissolution
of the longirgly anticipated union between the
Douglas mems mouths and the udders of the Fed
eral Treasury that our friends over the way con-
template with such unieigned horror.
We cannot hope to swerve the Douglas National
Committee Fl ON their stern resolve to have no ahl-
iation with the Breckenridge men; but we do en-
treat them not to be memorable with regard to the
fusion solicited by Messrs. James Brooks, Wash
inptoD HUT and VII lam Duer. Those gentlemen
have been some time out of Office; they have run
two or three parties out of existence and are sadly
in want of another whereon to display their "alac-
"rty in sinking" BE cruel to The Breckenridge men
If you must, Messrs Douglas men but do not re-
fuse to open your arms to Messrs. Brooks, Hunt
& Co. Heed their entreaties, pity their hard
necessities, and take them in !
