PENNsYLvANIA.-At a meeting the Democrat
10 Central Committee Of Pennsylvania, held
August 9th, movement was made looking 10
fusion of the friends of Douglas and Breckin-
ridge in that State, upon joint electoral ticket.
A resolution was adopted instructing the Pres
idental Electors to cast the vote of the State
for any candidate claiming to be a Democrat,
provided the vote of the State will elect him.
This was movement Of the friends of Breck-
inridge, and will be repudiated by the Democ-
racy Of the Keystone State. The friends Of
Douglas have nothing to gain, and every thing
to lose, by entering into such coalition.
There are but few Secessionists in Pennsylva-
mia, and should the friends of Douglas combine
with them, the ticket will lose more votes than
the total number of votes that would be given
fog separate breckenridge ticket. As mat
ter Of policy the party leaders will reject the
proposition, for they we'll know that the Demo-
cratic masses Of that State cannot be drilled
into the support of the candidate of the disun-
ionists.
The Nevada Democrat., 1860-08-29

The recent elections in Kentucky and Other
States, where the Breckenridge party was sup
posed 70 be all powerful, have resulted dieas-
trously 70 the Secessionists, and must somewhat
damp their ardor during the remainder Of The
campaign. In North Carolina, the Democratic
State ticket was nominated previous TO the
split at Baltimore, and the candidates remain
ing non-committal, were supported by both
wings Of the party, and were elected by reduced
majorties. With the party divided, as it will
be In November, unless Breckenridge should be
withdrawn, the vote Of the State will go for
Bell and Everett
In Kentucky, the only State Officer elected
was Clerk Of the Court of Appeals, and three
candidates were in the field, representing Bell,
Douglas and Breckenridge. Leslie Coombs, the
Bell candidate 10 elected by an immense major
ity, and every body is amazed at the result
In ffty-four counties the returns foot up,
Coombs, sO,467; McClarky, (Breck) s,643;
Boiling, (Doug) 1897. The latest intelligence
says that in ninety counties Coombs majority
over McClarky is 1888. The Douglas men
are charged with having dropped their csndi-
date and voted for Coombs. Be this as it may,
the vote shows that the disunion candidate can
not carry the State. The vote Of Kentucky
will be given either for Douglas or Bell.
In Missouri there was a straghtout fight be-
tween the four parties, each having full tick
ct in the field. G. +. Jackson, the regular Dem
ocratic candidate for Governor, who had taken
aposition for Douglas previous to the election,
Is elected over Orr, the Union candidate, by
several thousand majority. Hancock Jackson,
the Breckenridge candidate, and Gardenhire,
Republican, we're scarcely heard OF in the race.
The CONTEXT for Congressman has resulted in
the election Of five Douglas Democrats. one
Opposition, and one Republican. Missouri is
sure for Douglas in November next
In Arkansas, there we're two Democratic cam
didates for Governor-Henry NJ. Rector and
X. H. Johnson--and the latest dispatches state
that Rector has a majority of 2,765 votes, with
eighteen counties to hear from. Rector was
running as an independent Democrat, while
Johnson is set down as for Breckenridge. The
dispatches, however, relative to the position Of
the two candidates, are conflicting.
The result in these States 10 anything but
6atterng to the hopes Of the Breckenridge dis
union party. 1t shows very conclusively, that
in the event Of the election being thrown into
the House of Representatives, breckenridge
will not be one of "the three highest on the
list" consequently he may be regarded as Tout
of the ring.'

LATHAM AND WBEKs.-At Republican Club
meeting recently held at San Francisco, w. II.
Weeks made speech, in the course of which he
related the following little incident;
recollect two years ago-three years ago-when
this issue of popular sovereignty was first raised.
recollect Milton S. Latham's position in that ques-
tion and had occasion and cause to recollect 1t.
In the city of Sacramento l met him one day after
the battle was first started by Mr.. Broderck and Mr.
Douglas in opposition to the Administration, Ill
reference to the admission of Kansas under the Lee
compton constitution. He said to me, 'Nlr. Weeks,
how are you in reference to this question of the Lee
compton constitution !" Said |, 81 am with Brod-
erick and all who support him in that fight" Well,
now, ladies', l amt very handsome man; don't
pride myself upon that laughter and nobody would
have embraced me unless it was work Of absolute
necessity, great laughter but Milton s.. Latham
threw hit arms affectionatey around my neck,
pressed his downy lips to my grizzly cheek, great
laughter and said, ~ am with you there all the
time" Great applause and laughter.l l support
ed the same principles; never swerved from them
but very soon found that somehow or other Milton
S. Latham and myself had got wide apart-he was
supporting the Administration Of James Buchanan
and was opposed to it. That shows that kisses
don't always prove the sincerity Of promise.

A DOUGLAS DEMoNsTRATIoS.--A dispatch to
the Union, states that an immense and enthusi-
astic Democratic meeting was held at Oakland,
Coles county, Illinois, on the 18th of August
The meeting was addressed by Orlando B. Flick
lin and others, and the number of persons pres
cut was variously estimated at from IL. 900 to
$4,000. There were LOCO Douglas Rangers
out in the procession--the Coles aud Douglas
County Rangers appearing 10 blue jackets with
military caps, while the Edgar County RAN
gers, numbering about 600, made splendid
appearance in their red Jackets, black pants and
blue sash, with the three.cornered Continental
hat and white rosette. 1t was grand aud sue
cessful demonstration, and the enthusiasm for
Douglas and johnson was unbOunded. The
Democracy Of the Prairie State are bound to
achieve q brilliant triumph.

New JEEsEY.-Four State Conventions were
held at Trenton, N. j., July 25th, to form cleo
toral tickets The Breckenridge Convention
nominated fusion ticket, consisting of three
Breckenridge men, three Bell men, and one So
called Douglas man; il the vote Of the State
will elect either Of the three candidates, the
Electors are to go for him; if not they are per-
mitted to vote as they please. The Bell and
Everett Convention nominated a full ELECTORAL
ticket including the three Bell men on the fu-
sion ticket. Tho Douglas Convention, called
by the New Jersey members of the National
Executive Committee, was by far the most en-
thusiastc Of the three. A full Douglas ticket
was nominated, not including the so.called
Douglas man on the fusion ticket. A deter
minaton was manifested by the friends of
Douglas to make square fight, and resist oil
fusion and traHicing with the opposition fac.
tions. A convention of the Houston men was
also held the same day, and straight-out elec-
toral ticket formed. Commodore Stockton was
recommended for Vice President on the Hous.
ton ticket.

Our AUTnoRTY.-In our issue Of August
10Th, was published short article, stating how
the Administration State and County Commit
tees stood, as between Douglas and Breckin-
ridge. The Placerville Democrat, in its usual
vile and abusive style, accuses us of writing
what we knew to be false, so far as the State
and E Dorado County Committees were con-
cerned We are not disposed to engage In o
controversy with billingsgato sheet, and will
merely give the authority upon which the state.
ment that has been called In question was made
In the published proceedings of the State Com.
mittee vote was reported in which fourteen
members voted one way and twenty-five ano'
Their; this vote VIC regarded as test of the
strength Of Douglas and Breckenridge among
the members of that Committee. Our authority
for stating how the I'll Dorado Committee stood
was derived from the Placervile Central Calvor-
nian, Of the 9Th inst, and we have no reason to
believe that tho latter paper Intentionally mis-.
represented the facts, though 1t may possibly
have been mistaken as to the position OF come

NOBLE MARTIN AND ii. 3. HosMER.-Thc Sac
ramento Union, Of the 21st inst, gives an &C.
count of the organization Of q Lincoln Club Of
Little York, in this county, and concludes the
paragraph by stating that the "Club was ad.
dressed by Il. II. Gaylord, N. Martin and II. b.
Hosmer," A person reading the paragraph
would naturally conclude that Messrs. Martin
and Hosmer were among those who spoke for
Lincoln, and as they have long been recognized
as among the 1rmest supporters Of Douglas, the
statement created considerable surprise in this
section Of the county. The mistake arose from
this circumstance: The Lincoln Club Of Little
York invited political discussion; DR.. Martin
aud Mr., Hosmer responded to the invitation,
aud spoke for Douglas. The discussion was
held in the Club room, aud 1t Is unnecessary
for us TO add that scarcely grease.spot was
left OF the Lincoln orators. w loh ylatas,

AccIDENTs.-The San Juan Press, Of Saturday
last, records the following
On Monday last while the hands in the XIX
claims at Wolsey's Flat, were excavatng in a low
err stratum of hard gravel containing numerous
large bouders, one of the latter fell upon the head
of Sandy Mclean, completely scalping the left side
of his head, causing slight fracture Of the skull
and breaking his right leg in several places. DIR.
Hardy, of Moore's Flat was sent for, and arriving
promptly on the spot, took surgical charge of the
case. rte r-
DR.. James Weaver, proprietor of the Ditch bear
ing his name, was riding through the hume of that
work, about eight miles above Eureka, day last
week, when broken plank gave away under his
horse, causing him to fall partly through the open
ing. The Doctors right leg was caught in the
breach, and the small bone Of the leg fractured,
near the ANGLE. The wound is not serious enough
to prevent him from riding about and attending to
business.
The Nevada Democrat., 1860-08-29

UNNEcEssAKY.--Some Of our contemporaries
have suggested that the Conventions to nomi
nate candidates for the Legislature, on the
Douglas ticket, should exact pledge from the
candidates that they will not, under any cir
cumstances, vote for the reelection Of Senator
Gwin. Such course we regard as entirely IN
necessary. The idea of Senator Gwin being a
candidate before caucus OF Douglas Demo.
Gratis OF this State, is preposterous. II the
Brcckinridge men have majority in the Leg.
islature. Gwin will be q candidate before their
CAUCUS and il certain to receive the nomina'
ton. The members elected on the Douglas
ticket will of course meet in caucus and select
o candidate for Senator from among their own
party. The only way to defeat the reelection
Of Gwin is for the people TO vote against the
Breckenridge candidates for the Legislature
for although individual candidates may be OPP
opposed to his election, they will be compelled
to vote for him as the caucus nominee.

THE ULTIMATUM OF THEIR HoPEs.-Col. Jas.
w. Harris, of Georgia, made speech at Douglas
ratification meeting at Atalanta, July 18th, in the
course of which he reviewed heaction of the friends
of Douglas at Baltimore and defended them from
the aspersons of the Secessionists. He said
"The Seceders made no efforts at Baltimore to
defeat the nomination of Stephen A. Douglas, or
to modify themnority report adopted at Charleston.
Their only object being in going to Baltimore to
withdraw from that Convention those delegations
from the border Slave States which refused to Sc
cede at Charleston. They did not go to Baltimore
for harmony, but for the purpose Of sectionalizing
the Democratic Party forcing the election Of Lin
coin, and then to consummate the ultimatum OF
their hopes-a dissolution of the Union"

INcoRRBcT.-The report which has been so
widely disseminated that Senator Douglas stated to
Senator Latham, that, in the event of Broderick
surviving and returning to Washington, he (Sena-
tor Douglas) would not have shaken hands with him
is entirely incorrect. We have it from the highest
authority that Senator Douglas never said anything
of the kind, and neither did Senator Latham ever
saw that he did. What Mr.. Douglas did say is this,
that when Mr.. Broderick and himself parted, they
were not as friendly as before, for the that
Senator Broderck and Jno. w. Forney desired Mr..
Douglas.to be candidate for the Presidency, under
any Circumstances, which Mr.. Douglas refused. As
to there being any deep seated feeling on the part
of Mr.. Douglas, against Senator Broderck, is all
fudge.-Spirit of the TIMES.

horizon. The party speak Of the scenes presented
to their view from the summit at sun rise as grand
East, and the receding darkness in the West, the
long dark shadow of the Butte, reaching far over
toward the Pacific and the golden tipped mountain
peaks, presented scene gorgeously beautiful, the
equal of which few persons have ever enjoyed the
pleasure of gazing upon.
