Fusion with Disunionists.

The Democratic State Central Committee
met yesterday afternoon at the Merchants
Hotel, in this city, and the proceedings will
be found In another part of our mornings
edition. The Administration forces we're on
the ground in force. and succeeded in carry
ing res ,lution in favor Of the Douglas and
Breckenridge forces upon the existing cleo
toral ticket. The rec nd shows that the
committee first exclude the reporters--then
refused TO allow the absent country members
of the committee to send substitutes, after
permitting Philadelphia to th,ow twenty
two votes for four Senatorial districts. WHEN
nearly all the interior districts threw bot two
for each dsirict-then voted down reso-
tuition declaring Douglas and Johnson the
regular Democratic candidates-and finally
resolved that the ELECTORAL ticket should be
supp rted alike by The friends Of Douglas
aud Breckenridge! OF the hundred members
aud OF these the Philadelphia city members
(nearlv all office holders, or their relatives
and dependents) constituted the half of the
majority.
This action Oft State Committee will
be received by the Democrats of the State
with contempt and indignation. II is a
proclamation Of insult to the friends OF
Douglas and to the Democratic National
Committee, which has demanded the ap.
poin,ment Of pure Douglas electoral tickets
in all the Ststes. We regret the decision
OF this close corporation as releasing oil the
Douglas Democrats from any obligation
whatever TO support the ELECTORAL ticket
They cannot vote for it, as II stands, without
stultifying themselves. They cannot vote
for it without voting for Disuniohsts ant
Seceders. They cannot vote for it withou
sanctionirg fraud and force in their wors
shapes. There is but one rescue from thi
last shamless act of despotism-and that is
mass meeting Of the Democratic people
70 purge the electoral ticket, and TO Gu
loose from the Disunonists forever. Their
was gallent and protesting minority in th
State Committee yesterday, but they wer
powerless 10 the midst of Office holders ar
Seceders. the masses do not now NOV
in their own defence, il will be because the
are Indifferent TO their own interests, or dis
gusted with tteachelous representatives. !
htting finale to this gross betrayal Of princi
ple was the Seceders' meeting at lndepen
dence Square on the same evening.

The one has been secessionist since he

boosted, the "Brutus" who would gladly
plant the dagger in the bosom of Abraham
Lincoln. The other is, perhaps, as COM
pletC demagognc as the country ever
produced, ard is politician utterly I'M
worthy of the public confidence. Yet
these are the men who are calling Con-
vention in this State-qre seeking to fnsten
us on to South Carolina-to Cotton Con-
.federacy, whose darling scheme is cheap
niggers and free trade. Are we of West
crn Virginia, whose climate was made for
hardy mcn-whose soil requires the pa
tient intelligence of white labor to make
tproductive-whosec calling and destiny is
to manufactures and nlining-whose in
terests are with the great Gordon of free
States that flank us on either side,-are
we to be dragged captive by these con-
spirators and spoilers? Men of Western
Virginia, if we are not, let US speak out
while it is time. Why do we speak in un-
der tones about the Union, while these
men are scattering "fre-brands, arrows
and death" among usI Are we of West
ern Virginia in favor of Morris reso-
luton? Have We seen anything sin the
past or in the present, either in the
election of Abraham Lincoln to the
Presidency of the United States or from
any other existing ranse to justify dis
solution of the Union. If we have not,
let us stand up like men on the streets, in
our Offices, workshops, and stores, and in
every other fitting place, and let us say so,
and not stand meekly aud silently by,
letting insidious treason go unrebuked-
When men tell us that they are for the
Union under certain qualifications and
restrictions, and provided they can be
arranged thus and so, we know full we'll
what they mean. They mean disunion,
and such language is the only way in
which they dare to express it. Beware of
such language. Call for the direct posi-
tive language of Morris resolution. Call
for the patriotic affirmation of Crittenden,
that ''disunion is remedy for no evils.

expression they may be set down as dis
uuionists. And they arc the only kind of
men that are clamoring for convention in

The New York Courier and knJuirer of
yesterday says, that should the gurrison
of Fort Moultris at Charleston be attack
cd and overpowered by the secessionists,
that James Buchanan's life would not be
safe a single hour afterwards:
Let him rest assured, that not only is he
responsible to God for the safety OF Colo
mel Anderson's command, SO far MS he may
neglect to reinforce them, but he is also
responsible to man, and will be held to a
strict account for the discharge of that re-
sponsibility; and such is orr conviction
that he will be held personally responsible
for whatever may happen to the garrison
of Fort MOullrIe, that we would not. at
any rate of premium, insure his life for n
single month after solitary soldier had
fallen.

Saturday Morning, Dec. %, 1860.

In the latter part of january, we will
have.a Charter Election, Mt which we will
be called upon to make choice of a City
; Government for the ensuing year. We
have Mayor to elect, Council, City
Sergeant, Superintendent of Water
Works, City Clerk, Wharf Master,
Street Commissioner, aud number Qof
other subordinate municipal officers. At
an ordinary election, in au ordinary year,
choice of this sort involves COM
paratiyely little of Importance beyond the
selection of men we'll qualified for the re-
spective posts to which they aspire. In
times like theoe now upon us, however,
the case is different. There is at least one
other consideration in addition to fitness
in the candidate, to which we should look.
And yEiIe we should be none the less
careful than ever we were about electiug
well qualified, practical men, we should
also look well and narrowly 10 their po-
litical positions toward the country. We
should not inquire whether they be Demo-
Gratis, Bell men, or Republicans. No such
paltry consideration IN times like these,
should actuate us. But we should inquire
are those for whom we propose TO vote,
good, sound UNION men? Union men
without an if, or but; without a shad-
ow of shade. of qualification or rescrva-
ton but Union men under any and all
circumstances whatever? Union men,
who do not believe in dis-union at any
time, or for any cause; but who never
were anything elese, and never would be
anything else. These are the only kind of
men, fellow citizens, to elect in times like
these. There are plenty of such good men
in our midst, and we should elect no other
kind. Wheeling ought to be the last place
in the world for dis-union officials, Who'll
ly dependent, as she is, on the stability of
the Union, and the good will of the pco-
pie on either side of her for future exist
enee and prosperity. There is an effort,
most insidious effort, as we have said
elsewhere in OUT paper to-day, to incuI-
cate disuuion sentiments in our midst, TO
ALLEVIATE us from the friendship of the good
people on our borders, on whom We are so
dependent for our trade Let us frown
down this effort, set our face uncompro-
misingly against ii, and let the whole land
see that treason to the flag of our country
can not flourish in this city Put, then,
fellow citizens, none but Union men on
guard at our coming election.
