Disaffeotion i'm PennsyIvanIs.

The Philadelphia Press, Douglas organ in
Pennsylvania, don't like the withdrawal
of the straight Douglas Ticket in favor of
reasons that the movement was only Jug
gle to benefit Breckenridge and Lane-the
"Secession candidates, as they are termed
by the editor.
In the issue of the 25th of October, there
is An editorial complaining of the position in
which the Douglas men are placed.
ASeveral communications received from
warm Douglas men throughout the State
are published, and others alluded to, to ex-
hibit the widespread feeling of discomfort
which prevails on account of the withdraw
al of the straight Douglas ticket. One of
these communications reads as follows:
ERIE, Oct. 20, 1860.
see by a telegraph in o-day's Buffalo
Express that " the Douglas State Central
committee have withdrawn the straight
ticket, and pledged themselves to the Read
ing electoral ticket" Is this so Must the
Democracy be pushed to a choice between
the two interVentions | had hoped fer
vently that the poor privilege ofat least vot-
ing upon principle, though with but for
lorn hope Of success, would he left TO the ad-
herents to Democratic principles. If the
choice, however, is unayoidably the old
proviso doctrine, with either a white or
black garb, l, for one, shall prefer the white,
and stand by free institutions. If must be
sectional, will not turn my back upon my
own section.
Another communication contains the fol-
lowing decided Republication of the fusion
arrangement
Why will they persist in following this
crooked path, when plain honest course
would insure that unanimity for which they
seem 81 eager, and which all true democrats
desire 10 see? Why sail into so serious a
fight unler false or uncertain flag Let
the electors treat the people fairly in this
matter Let them publish an address or
pledge setting forth that they are bound by
the principles OF the Reading platform that
they are in favor of the doctrines of nom
intervention" and popular sovereignty; that
they will cast their votes for no man who is
opposed to these Democratic doctrines, but
for some one who is pledged to carry them
out, and the divided masses of the party
will rush together in support of this ticket
This may save the State; this will unite
the party. But to ask us to vote for an
electoral ticket so inharmonious as this is
to ask us TO make fools of ourselves; to pur-
sue a mere shadow; to fight when we have
neither men nor measures to fight for IT
WILL NOT BE DONE Unless the party can
be made to rally around the principle which
carried them through the campaign of SO,
the majority of Lincoln will more than
double that OF Curtin. Will the electors
think of this, or will they still be the pup
pets of this Welsh committee hereafter?
Which means, either that Douglas men
will vote their straight ticket, thus increas-
ing Lincolns plurality, or vote for the Lin
coin electors outright.
Mr.. Forney then reprints the straight
Douglas ticket, for the benefit of those
who desire to have it printed and voted in
their respective election districts
And it aoiH be voted, notwithstanding the
action of the Administration managers, and
Lincoln's plurality will be $4,000.
