THE State Central Committee OppoSed 10
DoaglaS-PropoSed Compromiss on III 9
PSesidenfial Question.
PHILADELPHIA, July 2, 1860.
The Democratic State Executive Com
mittee met this afternoon at the Mcr-
chants Hotel. The proceedings were
conducted with closed doors. A motion
to admit substitutes WAS negativcd; also a
motion for reassembling of the State Con-
vention to take action
Robert E. Managhan, of the Sixth dis
trict, prominent administration man and
an opponent of Mr.. Hickman in the last
Congressional campaign, made a warm
speech, saying that while he preferred
MIR. Breckenridge he was obliged to regard
Mr.. Dougl las as the regular democratic
candidate. He then offered resolutions of
compromise,
About twenty-four out 0 e. he sixty mem-
bers of the committee present were Doug
lasites, fifteen of whom bitterly opposed
any conciliation, and were warmly sus-
tanned by outside pressure.
There were hot discussions between the
leaders of both factions during the entire
meeting, and various propositions were
voted down.
At length Thomas G. Mcdowell, Of
Dauphin county, offered resolutions which
We're adopted by vote of As against Is,
as follows -
First, Calling on the democracy to unite
in support of General Foster for Governor
to bury all differences on the Presidential
question in the local elections.
Second, Recommending the democratic
party of the State to unite on the electoral
ticket formed at Reading on the following
basis If it should appear, on ascertain
ing the result in other States of the Union
that by casting the entire vote of Penn
sylvania for Douglas it would elect him
said electors shall be under obligations tc
cast said vote in that way; if the said
vote would not elect Douglas, but elect
Breckenridge, then shall it be cast for
Breckinridge. If the said vote will elect
neither Douglas Or Breckenridge, then the
electors may divide according to their own
judgcment-thc basis of this united action
being that it is the first and highest duty
of all good democrats, however differing
about men and minor points of principles
to unite firmly against the common enemy.
The Chairman of the committee was
authorized to communicate with the cleo
tors, and obtain their pledge within thirty
days to act under this obligation.
The committee then adjourned to meet
at the Call of the Chairman.
Prior to the adoption of the compromise
resolutions many propositions were made,
among others one declaring Douglas tho
nominee of the democratic party for Pres
ident, which was voted down by ayes 10,

Our Candidates.

We have to-day placed at the mast head
of our paper, the names Of john C..
BRECKENRIDGE, for President, and Jo-
sRPs LANE, for Vice President. In doing
this, we express our own preference, and
what we believe to be the preference ofthe
Democracy Of this county, as well as of
the State of Pennsylvania. We have no
time or space this week to give any Of the
reasons which have induced our action.
We shall take occasion to do this hereaf-
ter. At the same time that we thus de-
fine our position in relation to the two
Democratic Presidential tickets we must
fully and unreservedly concur in the re-
commentators Of the State Central Com
mittee, contained in the resolution adopted
at the meeting of that body on last Mon
day, which will be found in another col
umn. We believe that union of the De-
mocracy OF the State upon one electoral
ticket, is the only course by which we can
possibly defeat Republicanism in this
State, and We know of no plan more fair
and honorable and less liable to objection
than the one proposed by the State Com
mittee, and we sincerely hope that it may
be adopted and acted upon.
We see, however, that Col, Forney,
has issued his mandate to the Douglas
wing, forbidding any such alliance. This
is just what we had reason to expect. We
never believed that Forncy intended to
vote for any Democratic nominee. His
professions of regard for Douglas, and his
promises to support his nomination were
made at time when he believed it impos-
sible for Douglas to receive the nomina-
ton under any circumstances. Now that
he has received nomination, Forney is
caught, unless he can keep the two Sec
tons of the Democracy divided He
" owes labor and service to his present
employers, the Republicans, and this re-
quires him to aid in the election of Lin
coin. They care not how this is done,
nor does he II he can do it as effectually
by keep ing the Democratic party divided
upon two candidates, and thus give the
Republicans an easy victory, this course
will satisfy both. 1t is the end to be at
tained-the defeat of the Democratic par
ty-that interests them the means by
which that object is to be effected, are of
little consequence. 1t remains now to be
seen whether any portion of the Democra,
cy of thi $ State will permit themselves to
be made use of by Forney as tools to ac-
complish his selfish and vindictive purpo-
ses, at the expense of defeat of the Dem
ocratc party, and the triumph of sec
tionalism, or whether all will ua,te to de-
feat one common enemy, and make the
election of Democratic President a GER
tainty.-Danu.l MteLisenccr.

SOUTHERN TRADE MovEMENT.-There is to be held
In Macon, Georgia. in the month of December a
Trade Sale, or Commercial Fair, organized after
the manner of the LEIPZIG Fairs of Germany. This
European Trade Sale is the first step in the plan
OF operations proposed by the Direct Trading Com
pany OF Belgium. The American brig Henry,
chartered by the Bel gian Company, has cleared at
Antwerp, bound for Savannah direct. The cargo
Is an "assorted" one, and the sale will come off
under the patronage of the Cotton Planters Asso-
citation OF Georgia. 1t is probable that the assert.
ment OF goods to be offered at Macon, will embrace
German goods-selected through the Company's
agent at Cologne-French wines, and other articles
OF continental production or manufacture.
During the last Congress, Macon made a port
OF entry, and certain bonded warehouse accommo-
datons arranged, by which direct importations
into that town will be greatly facilitated. The
object of the Georgia movement is to combine
with the display of foreign merchandise thus i'm
ported direct, such goods of Southern manufacture
as may be sent to the Fair. We learn that steps
are already being taken among several of our
home manufacturers, to be properly represented ut
