struction Of MMurray, Wiukelemeier Il
Co.'s establishment, the St. Louis iron

Meeting at CressOn.


The Democratic State Committee met at
Crcsson, on the Allegheny mountains, on
Thursday Of last week, to try their hand
at Fusion. The electors stoutly "agree to
disagree" to the terms which the Com
mittee press upon them. Nine electors,
including Mr. Vaux, will vote for no
one but Douglas, under any circumstances.
Sixteen promise to act in accordance with
the desires of the Committee. One re-
fused to 60 any but Breckinridge, and
one has tried the Thadeus Hyatt game
won't answer any questions rropOunded.
The original proposition, after good deal
of bluster, was modified as indicated by
the following resolution
Resolced, That the Democratic elector
al ticket is headed with the name of Dou-
glas or Breckinridge as an elcc,or at large,
and in the event of the success Of said
ticket, II greater number shall have
been cast for Douglas, then the vote of the
Electoral College Of the State shall be cast
for Douglas and johnson but if for
Breckinridge, then for Brcckinridge and
Lane; # the vote Of Pennsylvania can
not elect the candidates for whom the ma
jority Of votes are cast and can elect any
man running for President claiming to be
q Democrat, then the vote of the E.ector-
al College shall be cast for that candidate;
ifn cW not elect either Of he Democrats
for mhom t IS cast or any of the Demo-
crdts nho are rotea far IN the State, hea
the vote shall be cast t6r the caa{t,iatc ritz
has the mcjori.y Of the rotes Of dte State,
and the Chairman of this committee be re-
quested to obtain from the electors their
several and distinct pledges of acquiesence
in the foregoing resolution, and report the
result of his action at future meeting of
the committee.
The straight Douglas men are "down
on" anything in the shape Of Fusion, and
will have a ticket Of their own. The Har-
risburg Sentinel, which is authority in
such cases, treats the Committees dictum
thus:
Snow, God save US from such a muss
as this, cooked up in such a shape as to
confound reason, set at naught the usages
aud principles Of the party, aud show us TO
the world as set Of tricksters and sharp
ers, bent on deceiviDg the people and be-
traying the party. Away with the whole
arrangement We deliberately spit upon
i, aud trample it under our feet as some
thing too vile for any honorable Democrat
to touch. We venture to sag that it will
not receive the approval of any honest
douglas man iI the State who has intelli-
gence enough to comprehend its iniquity,
or patriotism enough to love his country
and the party, aud hate the schemers and
intriguers who are moving earth and hell
to ruin both. Away with it, We say-ss
it was conceived in iniqui,y, lie. it perish
in wrath.

SOMETHING 70 THINK OF.

( Our Black Republicans, not only class
the slave holders of the South with robbers
and polygamists, but most toul!y libel the
non slavsholdess. They are accused Of oe-
grading white labor and we know not what
else: Mr.: Lamar Of Mississippi, has just
made striking statement. He says:
+ According to the estimate madc, there
were three hundred and twenty thousand
in the South. Each ono Of
these three hundred and twenty thousand
had one vote. and no more Each one of
the five millions Of non-slaveholders had
one vote, and no less. Therefore the in.
stituitons were in the hollow Of the hands
of the on-slaveholders Of the South. and
they had but to close their hands and the
institution was crushed. If tho effect Of
.lavsry was degrading. why did not the non.
throw it of, when they could
do it by simply depositing in Z sensless urn
pieces Of paper? -, IL ts.sg .a:
