The Democratic State Execu-
tive Committee. -

We publish below the proceedings Of the
Democratic State Executive Committee,
which met at Reading on Friday last. 1t
will be perceived that, almost with entire
unanimity, they have rcscinded the action
of the I'd of July, at Philadelphia, and of
the 9th of August, at Crosson, and deter
mined to stand by the Reading Electoral
Ticket, pure and intact, without any con-
ditions or qualifications. This was the
very best thing the Committee could do,
and every true Democrat should feel in
duty bound to support tho ticket. The
Committee, at their former meetings, in
their anxiety to keep the party together
and secure the election of Gen. FOSTER,
offered concessions and compromises, which
were only offered to be refused by a few
noisy and disorganizing spirits, principally
at Harrisburg and Philadelphia, who ap,
pear determined to rule or ruin the party.
The question is now simple one. Strip
ped of all compromises and contingencies,
the Democracy of the State arc called upon
to vote the Reading Electoral Ticket just
as the State Convention left It, Those
who do not vote it are, of course, against
regular nominations
