United Action.

The only papers in Pennsylvania, max
ing any pretentions to Democracy, that
persistently oppose the action of the State
Executive Committee at Crosson, are the
State Sentinel at Harrisburg, and the Re-
publican at West Chester. The former is
but an adjunct Of Forney's Press, and the
latter was the organ an apologist of John
Hickman in all his act. OF treason to the
Democratic party.
We are aware that the Lycoming Gas-
ette, Perry Democrat, Warren Ledger, Butler
Herald, and one or two other papers, have
not endorsed that arrangement. But
most Of them have frankly admitted its
fairness, but neither Of them SO far as we
have seen, have openly denounced it,
This is only done by those who prefer
Lincoln TO Breckenridge.
We are quite sure that nine-tenths Of
the Democrats of the State endorse the
action at Cresson, and this unanimity of
expression on behalf of the Press of the
State, fully demonstrates it.

If popular sovereignty, means that the
people of a Territory have sovereign pow'
er in themselves by virtue of their man"
hood, or any other attribute or source, inc
dependent of, and seperate from, the Gen.
eral Government of the United States,
they certainly can remain, and continue
in Territorial condition; and not come
into the Union at all 2 Thus presenting
the novel spectacle of an Independent
'"Popular SOUercignG," people withn our
Union but not Of our Union.
Surely no sound Democrat will contend
for doctrine like this. We appeal to
our Democratic fellow citizens every where
to become united, and assist in carrying
our old banner on to yictory-assst in raj
sing it higher; for if our old ndversaries
get hold of it they will hand it over to
John Brownism.

Oil and Water.

Al the North Mr.. Breckenridge is de.
nounced as a "secessionist" and "disun
ionist," while at the South some of his en-.
emies hold him up as Car too northern in
his opinions. At the North Mr.. Douglas
is presented as the champion of popular
sovereignty" while at the South his sup
porters are compelled to disavow his ine
depreciation Of that doctrine. Mr.. Doug
las and his northern supporters are uL-
sparing in their denuncstions Of those
they call "interventioEists," advocates of
"slave CODE" &c, while at the South
Gov. johnson, who is running on the same
ticket with Mr.. Douglas, has said ~ be.
'leve that it is the right of the South
"to demand, and duty Of Congress to cx-
"tend protection to persons and property
"of every kind (including slavery in the
"Territories during their territorial state" "
Mr.. johnson has never retracted this o.
pinion. On the contrary, he has reitera-
ted it, in a speech made by him in Mis-
souri, since his nomination for Vice Pres.
ident. In that speech he quoted the fol-
lowing extract from speech made by
Mr.. Toombs at Lexington in September
last:
at may be that the power Of the Executive
"may be inadequate to that purpose (the protec-
"ton Of slavery in the Terri tories y but if all
"these safeguards fail, / shall then be prepared
"to protect all the rights Of all the people in the
Territories, as well as elsewhere, by all the
powers Of the Government"
After quoting this extract from the
speech of Mr.. Toombs, Mr.. Johnson said :
--I subscribe to these sentiments" Mark
the fact, that this endorsement of the po,
sition of Senator Toombs was made since
the nomination of Mr., johnson for Vice
President on the Douglas ticket It comes
up fully to the Breckenridge PLATFORM
We wonder that the perpendicular Doug,
las men do not repudiate their candidate
for Vice President under such circum-
stances. What! Union between an in
torven tionist and ron>interventionist
You might as well attempt to mingle oil
and water. How can Mr.. Douglas con-
sent TO fuse with johnson?
There is not now prominent man at
the South who advocates Douglas upon
the Douglas platform as declared in his
Freeport speech. Those who have es>
poused his cause are careful to repudate
his do s.-PaLiot 6 Union.

The Duty of Democrats.

The State Executive Conmittee-to
whose safe-keeping was committed the
Democratic party of Pennsylvania for the
time being, by the Reading Convention
(by which that Committee was elected)-
met at Cresson on the 9th Aug. last, and
arranged that there should be no quarrel
between the friends of Douglas and the
friends of Breck enridge, so far as TO pre-
vent any democrat expressing his opposit
ion to the per1icious doctrines of Black
Republicanism. 1t is IN perfect harmony
with that arrangement for democrat to
support either Breckenridge or Douglas.
The plan and manifest object was, to se'
cure the whole vote of the Democratic
party cf the State for tie same set of electors
in order that the State might be carried
against Lincoln, and thus the worst calam
ity that could befal the country, averted.
II was adiudged by that Committe, that to
prevent the election of Lincoln was the
paramount object of every Democrat 1t
was, therefore emphatically a union or the
formation of partnership, between the
two wings of the Democratic party-the
friends of Breckenridge and the friends of
Douglas-in order that either the one or
the other of them might be elected, and
tn us Lincoln be defeated.
This being the case, we respectfully sub
mt to the Democratic editors who acqui-
esce in the Crcsscn arrangement, whether
they are advocating the claims of the one
or the other, that they cease their bitter
ness. Under this arrangement there is
no call for Douglas men abusing Breckin-
ridge or those who support him. Nor is
there any call for the friends of Breckin-
ridge or those who support him to abuse
Douglas or his friends. There is quite an
abundance to say in favor of both these
st atesmen, to fill all our
columns from now until tho election. If
not, then let us employ our time and la
Dor in the exposition of the dangerous and
destructive doctrines of Black Republican
sm. This is a beautiful field, and much
good may be the result. If either Doug~
las or Breckenridge is elected, it will ba a
fM Democratic triumph. But if Lincoln
S defeat ed it will be at least half victory
% every Democrat no matter who is elec-
ted.
