sition tending towards II. NOR does the
committee believe thst any such ar
ranyement can with propr'ety be made
at any time, in any place, or under any
circumstances, with those who have
placed Breckenridge and Lane in nemin-
alton, and are now their avowed sup
porters in opposition to the regular
nominees Of the Democratic party.
"The Democratic party, Is q a nation
al party, staods now where it has stood
for years, upon the ground of non-inter-
vention by Congress with the subject OF
slavery in the States or Territories
Those who seeded from the Baltimore
Convention did so because they were
unwilling to stand on that ground.
They have again aud again Iepud'ated
hat principle, and both at Charleston
and Baltimore declared that they would
sever their connection with the majority
of the delegates assembled in Convention
10 accordance with Democratic usage,
unless they, too, would solcmnly rcpu-
date it in obedience to their demand.
When the majority Of the Conven-
ton refused to yield to their dictation,
and make their actions conform to the
will of the minority, these gentlemen
seeded. formed them. elves in.o mi
nority Convention, and nominated can
didstes who are the open and pledged
enemies Of the principle Of 'non-inter-
vention' by Congress, Is recognized ty
the majority Convention, and as advo-
Gated by their candidates. Under these
circumstances it is clear to the commit
tee that if the antagonism between the
seceders and the majority of tie Demo
cratic Convention WAS such that the Sc
ceders could no longer take part in their
elaboration, aud we're constrained to
set up candidates in opposition to those
selected by the majority, that antsgon-
ism still continues, and is such as must
preclude the possibility of any union
between them in the support Of CON-
mon electoral ticket, in any State, nc
matter what may be the probable re-
suit of the election ia it without such a
union.
"rhc Democratic party, which is
now united in the support of Douglas
and johnson, stands upon the only pin.
| ciplc which is capable, if maintained
in it's integrity, Of maintaining and per
petuating the union of the States. The
seceders, and their candidates, are op
posed to this principle. Their course,i
sustained in the South necessarily tends
though it may be SO designed, of thu
breaking up Of the National Govern
ment. In the view of the Committee
there is no room for doubt. in the mine
of the National Democrat, as to thu
path of duty iu the present crisis. Th'
'seceders,' by withdrawing from the
Convention and setting up their candi
dates, have arrayed themselves in oppo
si,ion to the principle Of Congressiona
'non-intervention.' National Democrat
should everywhere meet the issue now

porting electoral tickets in their respect
live States, pledged, if elected, to vote
for Stephen A. Douglas for President
and Herschel V. johnson for Vice-Pres
ident Of the United States. II the Sc
ceders and their friends choose to sepa
rate permanently from the Democratic
party. and run a ticket in opposition t.
the regular nomination let them do so

to the offal contractor, who chops them
up for manure. On Monday there
were SO dogs drowned, on Tuesday 80
