THE HAPPY FAMILY.
A DEMOCRATIC TAIL.

from democratic newspapers showing the
happy feelings existing among the unter-
rifed The Huntingdon Globe, Douglas
paper, has the following
! Who are an .faror Of u Compromise on a
( DisorgaaisiRg Electoral Ticket ?-lst Bu
/ chanan and his office holders. ID, a maJori
/ ty of the Office hunters in every county-men
! who want a nomination and an election to
/ Congress, to the State Senate, to the House
. of Representatives, and to the county offices.
/ Independent and consistent Democrats-men
who can be relied upon when their party Is
in danger Of being ruled to ram by political
desperadoes, have but one opinion, and that
opinion for the public ear. We want no c0tc-
ards in cur rankS--we want men to take their
positions boldly for or against the regular Ma
tional Democratic nominees, Douglas and
Johnson-no others are worthy of a political
trust-no others are deserving of public con
fidence-no others should receive the support
of democratic voters. The great National
Democratic party of the Union has enemies
in its camp, and he who halts between two
opinions as 10 his duty to his party and the
country, cannot expect the friends Of Douglas
and johnson to give him their support. If
the present National Democratic organization
should be destroyed, an example will be set
by the highest authority 10 Justify disorgani
Zation in the ranks of the democratic party in
every State, county and township organiza-
ton. The democratic party may be defeated
next fall by the action Of the disunioniSts and
those under their influence but there will be
a future-a future when the Democracy will
triumph-then the disunionists and disorgan-
izers of the present day will be remembered
but to be loathed and despised as having been
enemies to their party and their country.
The Juniata Register, Breck and Lane
sheet, in an article on harmony, says:
We this week strike from the list of Presi-
Dental Electors the names of two glorious
traitors to the Democratic party, Richard
Faux and Jesse r. Crawford, and their pla-
ces shall be vacant until they are regularly
supplied by the Democratic State Central Com
mittee. These men have refused to acduiesce
in the compromise, anG declared their deter
mlnauQQ IN case Of their election to vote for
Stephen \. Douglls from first to last The
Democratic party must come out boldly
against treason, and we therefore repudiate
them and refuse to disgrace our columns and
insult the sterling democracy Of Juniata cOun-
ty by classifying them among the Democratic
Electors.
The Lancaster Inquirer, Douglas paper
is down on compromise in all shapes. 1t
says:
Never more was compromise the offspring
of weakness, than when the opponents Of
Douglas, who have followed on his track for
years with undertaking and pertiuaciouS bru-
tality, after they have suffered defeat at every
turn-their talsehOods exposed and their STRAIT
agems to defeat the people tramped under
foot and broken by the honest enthusiasm of
the masses-now, when he has triumphed over
his enemies, and all that the ingenuity of
malice and the skill Of bitter partizanship
could devise, ask those who have stood by
him in the trials to which his defence of Dem
Ocratic principles has exposed him. who
through good and evil report have sustained
him for the sake of the cause which he so no.
bly, advocated to compromise with them. And
what sort Of a compromise is asked ? 1t is a
compromise that should call the blush of
shame to the cheek of any Democrat that
would consent to it. What compromise can
men who have fought for principle and won
the battle, be asked to have with those who
have scoffed at that principle, and asserted
and vindictively that they would
never give it their support. What compro-
mise can Democrats have with Disunionsts
cause it would not hoist the Dsunion flag?
Such Il compromise would Justly excite the
derision and contempt of all honest men in
the country.
The Huntingdon Union, paper still on
the fence, gets wrothy at our Jesse and talks
of him as follows:
For a Democratic elector to say that " a
J =. IN n n
cratic party" constrains him to withhold his
assent from the action of the State Committee,
and then recognize as his political organ the
sheet of John w. Forney, is an act of as cool
impudence as man could well commit. But
we will not indulge in the reflections which
the course of Mr.. Crawford irresistibly calls
forth We had hoped that he would gladly
in any compromise that would de-
feat Lincoln, and thus truly represent the
wishes of the great majority Of the Democrats
of this district. But he has thought proper
to pursue another course and to declare him
self opposed to union and harmony. We
have no right to question his motives, but we
have the right to question his democracy
Mr.. Crawford cannot be insensble to the fact
that his course, instead of beneftting Doug
las and the party, tends directly to defeat the
one and disrupt the other. lie has given his
it is-to Forney and his
in their efforts to prevent union,
upon fair bas S, of all wings of the party in
this State against the Republican ticket, and
upon him must rest the responsibility of the
result. We have but to add, that Jesse r.
Crawford will not receive five hundred votes
in this county.
The Chambersburg Valley Spirit declares
that
THE leading men and the leading papers of
the party, all over the country, are rallying
to the support of Douglas and Johnson. On
ly few parasites of the Administration here
and there hold out against the regular nomi
nation of the party, and many of these ap-
near heartily ashamed of the mntinnus Mot
