The Electoral Ticket.

The Electoral Ticket,
The action of the State Central Com
miitee in regard to the Electoral Ticket
receives the highest commentator from
every National conservative Democrat
In the whole course of our political eXpe.
rience seldom have we known any action
of State Central Committee which was
intended to heal dissensions in the party,
meet with such general appreciation from
all right-thinking men as that of the COM
mittee which assembled at the Merchants
Hotel on last Monday.
We have not met one individual, who
may be set down as regular sound Ma
tional Democrat, with clean and pure
record, no matter to which wing of the
prrtY he belongs, who does not most hear.
tily approve Of the resolution passed by
the committee, in favor of the union upon
the Electoral ticket.
Among these are Democrats who are
the warm and devoted friends Of Judge
Douglas, but who, although they do lot
Glove Caesar less, love Rome more" and
prefer the party and its principles to men

est patriotic motives who clearly see
that the contest of 1860 is one between
Sectional Black Republicanism on the
one side, and National Democracy on the
: other, and who prefer the success of the
| latter party and the overthrow of the for
mer, to the success Of any individual, no
, matter how distinguished he may be.
But we must acknowledge, tha: while 6
r large number of the honest friends o
: Judge Douglas endorse the action of The
! State Central Committee, and will give il
their hearty support and cooperation
