The Electoral Ticket,

The action of the State Central Com,
miitee in regard to the Electoral Ticket
receives the highest commendaton from
every National conservative Democrat
In the whole course of our political expe.
rience seldom have we known any action
of State Cent 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 aregular sound Ma
tional Democrat, with a 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 2ot
"love Cesar less, love Rome more" and
prefer the party and its principles to men
democrats, who are governed by hon
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 mpst acknowledge, tha. while q
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
yet there are many professed friends
but, in fact, secret enemies--of the "Lit.
tie Giant" under the leadership of John
W. Forney, and, who are governed by hi.
advice and his interests, who have 8l'
ready taken up the key note which he
has sounded, and are loud. mouthed IN
their denunciations of the course pursued
in the Committe. .r.

during the past three years as active dis
organizers in the Democratic party anc

Clerk of the House of Representatives
they are powerless for evil. Itwil be advi
sable for the true friends Judge Douglas
to maik them well, and guard against the
injury which they may be able to accom-
iplish in localities where their true politi'
cal character is unknown; in fact, the
friends of BREcKrNRIDGE and LANE have
: much less to fear from these pseudo
}, friends of Douglas, but real supporters o.
Lincoln, than have the friends of the
Little Giant" ......
, We again warn them to beware of For.
ney and his followers. No men car
mean well who are adherents of such {
leader, and the most ordinary observer
cannot fail TO see, in the course of the
Press that .he true intention is the dis
|, ruption of the Northern Democracy will
view only to the election of Lincoln. -
But in true and faithful adherence tc
the recommendation of the State Centra
Committee by all sound National Demo,
Gratis, we will be able to secure the tri
umph of the Electoral Ticket, and avoiC
the calamity to the country of the domi
nancy of sectional Black Republioanism
