pears to be no diseord among the Demo-
erats of the State whether Breckenridge
or Douglas men) on the subject Of Cover
nor. The voice of all is for FOSTER, and
fthey all work for him earnestly and in
good faith the second Tuesday Of October
will crown their efforts with Utctory.
There is no reason why any Democrat
should not vote for Foster /; and con-
siderations Of patriotism will, we trust, in
duce many who are not identified with
party, to give him their support. Let us

DEATH OF A PROMINENT CITIZEN
Since our last issue we have seen the death
of Mr.. THOMAS REYNOLDS, of Danville,
(which occurred ON Wednesday, the eth
inst. announced in several ofour exchang-
es. Mr.. R. was quite advanced in life, and
had retired from active business several
years since. He was much esteemed by
all who knew him for his probity of char
acter, correct department. through long
life, and promptnoss and honesty in his
business relations. He welded an extern
siye influence in that section of the State,
and his loss will be much lamented by his
numerous friends, and keenly felt by his
family. He was the father Of SAMUEL III.

UNION IN THE STATE.-The Pittsburg
Post, Jealous advocate of Douglas, says
shat indubitablc evidence of the excellence
of the arrangement proposed by the State
Committee for the union of the Pennsyl-
vania Democracy, is found in the fact that
it is so extremely distasteful to the Black
Republican, and most of all to poor For
ney.

The Philadelphia Press.

This journal, in its last issue, taxes oc-
casion to speak in abusive terms OF the
Pittsburg Post, because We prefer the in
tegrity of the Democratic party to the
advocacy of faction. Since MIR. Forney |
has become the servant of the Black Re-
publican party, and is fattcning on the
spols of their official patronage, it matters
little to any Democrat what he says con-
cerning the party which he has deserted
and which he is determined to sell out,
80 far as is in his power He deceives no
one, for his actions and his position speak
louder than his words. . H|.
The Press charges that we "pretend to
be for Douglas, and advocate scheme
denounced in terms of bitter indignation
|by Douglas himself" If to insure the
success of the great Democratic party,
compromise is permissible in Virginia,
New York, and other States, we think it
is equally so in Pennsylvania. We are
the friend of Mr.. Douglas. We have been
so from the start. We believe in the
great doctrine of popular sovereignty I;
and as Pennsylvania Democrat, and
the editor of Democratic newspaper, we
claim freedom to act as one of the popu.
lar sovcreigns of the Keystone State. 1t
is not that we love Caesar less, but Rome
more, that we advocate a united Demo-
cratic ticket. We believe that the best
interests of Mr.. Douglas, as well as of the
Democratic party in Pennsylvania, will be
best served by faithful adherence to the
Cresson proposition.
Out of Mr.. Forncy the seeds of Democ-
racy have mouldcrcd and died. lie has
a contract to fulfill with his masters. 1t
is to keep up discord in the Democratic
party in Pennsylvania. He pirates about
principle. Bah His principle is CON-
prised in five loavcs and two fishes. The
Clerk of the Republican House Of Rep.
resentatvcs is not the man to give us les.
sons in Democracy. He has been thrown
off and discarded by all who truly love
Democratic principles. His partizanshiI
of Mr.. Douglas would be an injury to hin
it were not manifestly hollow hearted
and insincere.
The popular sovercigns of Ponnsylvani;
will not ask him nor Mr.. Douglas nor any
one else how they shall best secure the in
terests of the Democratic party. They
will think for themselves, judge for them
selves and act for themselves. They vii
sacrifice no principle in their efforts to sc
cure the State for Democratic President
They yielded nothing in giving their as
sent to compromise, which, if faithful,
carried out, will secure the State to Mr.
, Douglas, beyond peradventure. Til
6 PosT, and the friends of Democracy, VIII
will not listen to the arch schcmcr an,
schismatic of the Press, are perfectly abl
, to stand Mr.. Forncy's abuse. For Lin
coin and the Abolition sectional part
which true Democracy opposes, tho Pres
has no word of ccnsurc. Against til
, dangerous principles of the Opposition h
dares not raise his voice in warning. Joh

Republican Fusion.

The Lshigh Register gets off the follow
ing in its last issue, on the subject of tn
strength of Republicanism ;"
No better proof of the strength of the
Republican party need be had than the
unity it preserves in its organization, and
the constant coalitions made by its varied
opponents to effect its defeat. Wherever
there is Republican party in my of the
States it is a Republican party pure and
simple, and heartily unites in the support
of Abraham Lincoln, and consents to fu-
sion with the supporters of any (no) other
candidate for the Presidency, whether he
be Breckenridge, Bell, Douglas or Hous-
ton.
Of course, we are bound to believe that
the Republican party Of to day is synony-
nous with that of 1856, and as its record
is the only proof from which we can draw
any definite conclusions. we would like to
know, Mr.. Register, how it happens-if
the Republican party makes no fusion
that Col. Fremont accepted the support Of
Gerrit Smith, Lloyd Garrison, and all
the ultra Abolition Conventions, and, at
the same time the nomination of the Know.
Nothing Convention of Newark, in 1856
And, also, how it happens that Lincoln's
friends to-day, ask the support of such
Know-nothings as Flanagan of the Daily
News, (and gets it too and, at the SAINT
time rallies the Germans of Illinois, be-
meath his standard, and inserts the Dutch
plank in the Republican platform, in or,
der to gain the support of the Chicago
German Convention. And how is it thai
you demand the support of the Pennsyl
vania Tariff men, and at the same time
insert a free-trade plank in your platform
in order to please the free-traders of New
England, and especially such doubtful
States oS Connecticut and Maine, which
have always been free-trade! We "paus,
for reply "-Carbon Democrat.

The CANDIDATES FOR TIE CHARLES,
TON NoMINATIoNs.-There were nine
gentlemen before the National Democratic
Convention, for the Presidential nomina-
ton, viz: Messrs. Hunter, Guthrie, Doug
las, Dickinson, Lane, ,Toucey, Davis john
son, of Tennessee, and Pearce, of Mary.
land. Since the Baltimore nominations,
they have declared their preferences as
follows:
FOR MAJOR BRECKINRIDGE.
/, Hon. r. NJ. II. Hunter,
?. u en-. Jo. Lane,
3. Hon. James Guthrie,
d. Hon. Andrew johnson,
o. Col. Jefferson Davis,
@. Hon. Isaac Toucey,
7. Hon. james A. Pearce,
8. Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson.
FOR JUDGE DOUGLAS. ..
/. Hon. Stephen A. Douglas.
OF the gentlemen prominently mentioned
in connection with the Democratic nomi.
nation, but who were not voted for at
Charleston, nearly every one has express
ed preference for Breckenridge and Lane.
Among them are Ex Governor Wise, Ex
Speaker Orr, Senator Hammond, Ex-
President Pierce, Senator Slidell, Secreta-
ry Thompson, Senator Bright, Hon. How
ell Cobb, and S:n atOr Bayard.

Breckinridge and Lane.

If the Democratic State Convention
which met at Reading the Ia of February
had been charged with the selection of
candidates for the Presidency and Vice
Presidency, there is every reason to be.
lieve that it would have selected the very
ticket since nominated by the National
Democracy at Baltimore. No one who
was present at Reading and mingled with
the delegates, can fail to be aware that at
least three -fourths of them preferred Breck-
inridge to any other candidate for the
Presidency. The sentiment in favor of
Lane for the Vice Presidency, though not
SO strong, was still well defined.
The preferences of the delegates to
Reading were but the reflex of the senti-
ments of the Demo cracy of the State. A
vast majority of our voters looked to
Breckenridge as the leader who could car
ry us safely through the contest of 1860.
Had the suspicion crossed their mind that
any considerable number of their repre-
sentatives at Charleston would go against
him, they would have demanded instruc-
tions in his favor at Reading in voice
that would have commanded obedience.
Breckinridge and Lane are the candi-
dates Of Pennsylvania. She would have
chosen them if the choice of candidates had
been placed in her hands. They repre-.
sent the principles she has always adhered
to, and she will sustain them in their strug
gle for the right. They are men of the
Jackson stamp frank, manly and coura-
geous-and the Democracy of the old
Keystone will rally around them as they
rallied around the Hero of New Orleans
in the great fight of 1928.
ILLUsTRIoUs TRIo.-The representa-
tive men and chief orators of the Republi-
can party are CHARLES SUMNER, OWEN
LovEJoY, and GEORGE w. CURTIS, all
distinguished for their hatred of the South
and the most violent and yindictive denun
citation of the compromises of the Consti.
tuition. In late speech in Brooklyn, N
Y, Mr.. Curtis, in addition to his usual
extreme language, is reported to have de
elared that Lord GREY was right, wher
he declared in the British Parliament tha
government had proved failure il
America" Thus, this light of modern
(Black) Republicanism takes, as upon thi
point many of his party will doubles
take, the British side of the question, ant
denounces the government under which Ii
lives as a failure.
HENRY d. FosTER.-The editor of th
Centre Democrat, which warmly sustain
the republican nominees, recently paid
visit to Atlantic city, thus alludes to til
Hon. Henry d. Foster, whom he met a
that place. We commend it to some ofth
politicians in this section;
"We are sorry we are placed in
hostile position toward Gen. Foster, 70
we like him very much, and come wha
nav, no word or abuse shall escape ou
lips when speaking of him, nor will W
stand by and hear him traduced by an.
one. The man who maligns him in ou
presence will be told he is mistaken; if h
repeats his abuse, he will be told he is I
liar and if he reiterates third time wha
we know to be false, We will smash hi
I teeth down his throat
