The Alexandria Sentinel quotes r. IF
Glass, Esq, of the Lynchburg Republican,
as a friend of Judge Douglas at the Charles
ton and Baltimore Conventions. This is q
mistake. That gentleman did not identify
himself with the friends of Judge Douglas.
At Charleston he favored resolution re-en-
acting in substance the Cincinnati platform,
and is now supporting candidate who stands
upon platform virtually repudiating the
doctrine Of non-intervention embraced in
the resolves Of the Cincinnati Convention.
Mr.. Glass will hardly himself thank the
Sentinel for his classification. Certainly
the friends of Judge Douglas repudiate IN
toto the idea advanced in the article quoted
by the Sentinel, to the effect that they should
withdraw Mr.. Douglas and support Mr..
Breckenridge in the South. They will sus-
tain Mr.. Douglas at all hazards and to
the last extremity" Being the regular ore
ganization Of the party it would be beneath
their dignity and manhood to think Of any
other policy. fhe Sentinel and Republican
Gan rest assured Of that fact, :

Small Business

A gentleman who answers to the eupho-
nlous name of W. J. Parrot, and who re-
sides in the vicinity Of Gordonsville, by some
means became a subscriber to the Vindica-
tor. A few days since this Mr.. Parrot re-
turned copy of the paper, with a black
mark drawn around the names of Douglas
and johnson, and the words written across
the ticket, "want no such paper" In the
first place, Mr. Parrott has violated one of
the Post Office laws, and is liable to pros
ecution therefor. In the second instance,
we find by reference to the books of the
office that he is indebted for over sixteen
months subscription. In regard to his e.
vasion and violation Of the law we have
nothing to say, flsrther than make known
the fact. In the other point We are more
Immediately interested, and do not mean to
discontinue the paper until Mr.. Parrott has
complied with our terms and settled his bill,
which is now Three Dollars and Fifty Ceuts.
IF he does not transmit the amount forth
with, we shall place it in the hands Of a
law officer for collection.
Several gentlemen Of the Breckenridge
persuasion have acted pretty much in the
same way that now distinguishes Mr. Par
rott. For every such subscriber we have
lost, however, we have gained ten; Even
some of the Breckenridge men who were
not subscribers, on hearing Of the contracted
ard narrow minded policy Of such persons,
have come forward and enrolled their names
as patrons, utterly condemning and repudi-
atlng the niggardly spirit that is incapable
OF toierating an honest difference Of opinion.
MIR. Parrott will please attend to settling
MS account as soon as possible, and If there
are any others who sympathise with his
action, they had better at once follow his
example.

The Pennsylvania nsmooraox.

New YORK, Aug. 10.--The meeting of the
Pennsylvania state committee yesterday was
largely attended. The two divisions of the
party agreed to form an electoral ticket head
ed with the names of Breckenridge or Doug.
~ as, and that in the event of the success of
said ticket the vote of the state shall be cast
for Breckenridge and Lane, or Douglas and
johnson, according as the result shall show
which of the two tickets shall have had ma
jority of the votes cast for both.
The agreement was adopted by a vote of 40
to %, and is as follows =
Resolved, That the democratic electoral
ticket be headed with the name of Douglas or
Breckenridge as an elector at large, and in the
event of the success of the said ticket if the
greater number shall have been cast for Mr..
Douglas, then the vote of the electoral college
OF the state shall be cast for Douglas and
johnson; but if for breckenridge, then for
Breckenridge and Lane. If the vote of Penn
sylvania cannot elect the candidate for whom
a majority of the votes are cast, and can elect
any man running for president claiming to be
a democrat, then the vote of the electoral col
lege shall be cast for the candidate. If it will
not elect either of the democrats for whom it
is cast, or any of the democrats who are voted
for in the states, then the vote shall be cast for
the candidate who has majority of the votes
of the state and the chairman of this com
mittee be requested to obtain from the electors
their several and distinct pledges of acquies-
cence in the foregoing resolution, and report
the result of his action at a future meeting
of the convention.

How ARE EGGS LAID.-In the days of Louis
XIV, the court Of Versailles was agitated by
a severe controversy about eggs and how to
eat them. The aristocracy divided itself into
two factions, known as the Big Endians and
the Little Endians; and, as in the case of
many other more serious polemical discus.
sions, the question remains open to this day,
at which end an egg ought to be opened by a
man of taste. Our age, more philosophical
and profound than its frivolous predecessors,
has witnessed new phase of the debate.
The Patrie informs us that the SacanS Of Paris
are trying to ascertain whether eggs are laid

ST. GEoRGE s.IY.THE-EAsT,-The Rev.
Bryan King left St. Georges parish on the
25th, to the great satisfaction Of his parishion,
ers. During the evening of that day the de.
light OF his Pensioners was expressed by an
immense gathering of people, who formed into
procession, headed Ivy a band of music and
several banners, all of which bore inscriptions
showing how distasteful to the public mind
the mode of celebrating divine worship by
Mr.. King had been. The foremost banner,
which was painted white, had printed in large
prominent black letters the inscription, "Flight

street to street "Brtons never shall be slaves"
and other airs, until late hour, when the vast
crowd quietly dispersed Now that they have
achieved their wishes no doubt the parishoners
will readily cleanse and repair their noble
church, which for months past has been in a
trightfully filthy state, occasoned by the dis.
turbances, and make it fit for public service.
