StraWS.

" An irresistible conclusion from this il
that the Douglas Democracy, which conl-
posed the meeting on Saturday night, will
wage as fierce battle against their late as
sociates, now in the Breckenridge interest,
as they will against the common adversary
of both. Indeed from present appearances,
We shall be mistaken if the former conflict
is not the hotter of the two"
So says the Village Record, intense re
publican; and it chuskles over the venom
with which the resolutions Of the meeting
were charged.
We are very glad to say that SO far, the
National Democrats have made no attacks
on Judge Douglas, they have one and all
gone for Union on ono electoral ticket
content to elect Douglas, if he shall have
sufficient strength, The Douglas leaders
however, seem to prefer Lincoln to Brcck
inridgc. Mark them we'll.

Shall We be Unitedl

We clip the following correct and sem
sible article from the Easton Argus, Il pa
per which flies the name of Douglas at its
masthead. Every Breckenridge man in
the State goes for Union, and most of the
Douglas men; and we desire to show to
those factious spirits, the views taken by
those men who are really democrats
Many of the Douglas men we are sorry to
say, make Lincoln their second choice all
the Breckenridge men prefer Douglas as
their second. The determination of For
ney and those men we are willing to aid
him is too plain for doubt, and the Argus
takes the correct, the democratic view of
the question. 1t is prepared to stand by
the democratic organization in Pcnnsylva-
MIA, to support the regular action of the
State Committee, of which Mr.. Welsh is
Chairman and denounce honestly the trait
ors who would defeat Foster, and destroy
,he party, not only in the State, but in the
nation.
The Argus says:
awe last week published sketch of
the proceedings of the State Central Com>
mittee, proposing a union of the friends of
Douglas and Breckinriege on the electoral
ticket, for the purpose Of consolidating the
democratic vote of Pennsylvania. We
need scarcely say that we approve the ac-
ton of the committee and are pleased to
see disposition manifested by the great
mass of our party friends, without refer
encc to their presidential preferences, to
see it faithfully carried out
The electoral ticket formed by the Demo
cratic State Convention at Reading, is the
reguLr ticket. There can be no other
regular electoral ticket. If there is Il sec.
ond one formed it will be irregular and
unauthorized. The State Central Com
mittee, with commcndablo desire to unite
the party, have agreed to proposition
| which is acceptable to the friends of both
the candidates in this section Of the State
and apparently throughout the Common
wealth, with the exception of few men
who really do not seem to be anxious for
peace and harmony. No man who has
at heart the interests of the democratic
party, can object to the proposed arrange.
mcnt. 1t is emphatically peace measure
1t is fair, manly and just. The regular
electoral ticket, thus pledged, will rcceiv,
the united support of the Democrats of thi.
