Let Justice be done Though the Heavens

fail.
The Patriot of yesterday attempts to create the
impression that the supporters of Mr.. BRECKNRIDGE
in Pennsylvania endeavOring to prevent flu
sion between all the opponents of LINCOLN by their
exhorbtant demands and thus give the State to LIN
COLIN The Patriot, we regret to say exhibits la
mentable ignorance of the subject upon which
it writes We would be 10th to suspect intentional
Misrepresentation In order to sustain its charge
that the friends of BRECkINRIDGE and LANE demand
such terms as viii insure their rejection" it quotes
the following from the card Of R. s. HAIDEUAN, For
NEY DOUGIAsITE
1.-THE undersigned having in full view the disasters
to the country which would result from the cleo
ton of Lincon and Hamlln have resolved to recon-
mend Union Democratic Anti-Republican Elector-
nj ticket to be informed IN the following manner,
to-wit The twelve electors Of THE READING TICKET,
which are assented to by all branches of the
Democratic party; ten electors selected by the
friends of Bell and Everett; five additional electors
from TIE READING TICKET, to be assented to by
majority of the undersigned, in all twenty-seyen,
10 the committee of the several organizations TO
which they belong.
- Now the Patriot knows or ought to have known
that after the disruption at Baltimore, JOINT EIEC
TORAL TICKET was agreed upon by the friends of
BRECKNRIDGE and DOUGLAS, and the manner in
which the vote was to be cast by that ticket
was agreed upon at Cresson. Upon that ticket there
were twelve or more avOwed friends of the DOUG-
has IFORNEY land a few other Semi-Republican
friends of DOUGLAS repudated the Cresson arrange
ment Mr. DOUGLAS himself did it justas he has repu-
pudiated every other arrangement that squinted at
fusion with the friends of BRECKNRDGE. But the en-
tire BRECKENRIDGE strength and the mass of the
DOUGLAS men in Pennsylvania still adhere to the Ores
son adjustment. The FoRSEYTEs held Convention
at Reading two or three weeks since, at which Mr..
DOUGLAS was, and at which he made speech, and at
which straight out DOUGLAS electoral ticket, from
beginning TO end was nominated This was weeks
after Che Cresson meeting Upon the Reading ticket
the FORNEY-ites place the twelve DOUGLAS men that
already the Cresson ticket and put fifteen
other DOUGLAS men thus forming their straight out
Reading DOUGLAS ticket Now let us examine the
proposition of Mr. HAIDENAN, the rejection of which
causes the Patriot to accuse the BRECuNRIDGE men
OF demanding such terms as will insure their re
iection2 In order to form "a Union Democratic
anti-Republean ticket HAIDENAN proposes ten elec
tors selected by the friends of BELL and EVERETT;
ttoeue electors of the Reading ticket 1ohich aSseed
to Jy all branches Of the Democratic party that is the
twelve DOUGIAs electors on the Cresson ticket /;
five additional electors from the Reading DOUGLAS
straight OUT ticket, to be assented to by majority
Of the undersigned" that is to be assented to by
HAIBEMAN, DoUGLAs-ite, and II. N. FULLER, BELL
EVERETT That is the proposition, the rejection Of
which causes the Patriot charge the supporters Of
BREcKrNRmGE with demanding such terms win
insure their rejection A BRECKINRTDGE man is not
proposed flo be put upon the ticket, All even
L., +fo.l co
vote for are to be selected by DoUGLAsTTFS assisted
by the Chairman Of The Bel Committee. This is the
proposition of the FoRNEY faction of DOUGLAS men,
after the adjustment at Cresson. The CressOn
ticket is supported by the friends of BRECKNRIDGH
and the mass of DoUGIAs men. The FORNBY leaders
are trying to break it mp. They cannot succeed
The ticket will be elected Then let the disorganiz
ing leaders stand from under
