The Strait out Douglas ticket with
drawn, The Democracy again
United.


The regular Democratic State Central
Committee met on the 10Th inst, at Read
ing and rescinded all former action had by
them in regaro to the electoral ticket,
and recommended that the Dem ocracy
should unite upon the regular ticket form
ed at Reading in March last, and we are
now pleased 10 announce that The Roum-
fort Committee otherwise called the strait
Douglas Com nittee, met in Philadelphia
on Thursday last, and have with drawn
the strait Douglas ticket, and recommen-
ded the friends of Judge Douglas to concur
in the recommendation Of the regular
Committee and support the Reading Elec-
toral ticket, aud thus we have the Demos
cratic party united, upon single electo.
raj ticket. We do not intend now to dis
cuss the reasons assigned by the Roum-
fort Committee for its recent action, such
discussion could | Q productive of no good,
that action itself, without the reasons as
signed, is sufficient for us, and we do not
hesitate TO say, it is the most sensible as
we'll as the most patriotic thing the Roum.
fort Committee has ever done. With unis
ted vigorous action we may succeed, and
and if we must fall, there is bright fu-
ture for compact and powerful minority.
We do not by any means abandon our
hopes of success, there are abundant
grounds for hope Of victory in November
next.
1t was alleged before the October election
that Gen Foster could not obtain more
than from one-fourth to one-third of the
Bell vote, such has been the result; whilst
there were but about 10000 Bell and Ev-
erett votes cast for Gen Foster, they clai-
med to have $4,000 in the State; if this lie
true, and there be now cast for their own
ticket, the vote for Mr. Lincoln will be 0,
600 less than that received by Col Cur
tin.
All will remember that Mayor Henry of
Philadelphia, the most influential Bell and
Everett man in The State, sustained Col
Curtin with all his power, influence, and
patronage, whilst nov his whole energy
is devoted TO the Bell ticket.
This is ga example of the condition of
affairs in the City Of Philadelphia, and we
find the same fact to exist in other parts
of the State, in our own vicinity, gentle
man Of influence who were active for Col
Curtin are now warm supporters of Bell
and Everett. An analysis of the vote for
Governor, demonstrates that in certain To-
calities many Of the more rabid Douglas
men, fearing that the election of Eoster
would aid Breckenridge, have voted for
Curtin, we cannot doubt that all these,
under the recent action of their Commit
tee, will vote for the Reading ticket and
to that extent swell the Democratic vote.
With these TO aid us now, it only re.
mains for us to do our utmost to get out
the entire vote Of the Democracy on the
9th of November, and to this work all
true friends of the party should devote
themselves with unceasing activity Let
every Democrat exert himself for an uni-
ted democracy ana the Reading ticket.

The Fair.
Exchange.

Accc riding to notice, our first Agricultu'
raj fair was held in this county on last
week, the 10th, 17th, and 18th insts,
The first day we had excellent weather,
but the balance Of the time was very disa
greeable indeed.
On Wednesday it is estimated thai
their were 5000 persons upon the ground
and we are certain, if it had been politi'
cal gathering, it would have answered to
say that 10000 persons were present.
Great praise is due to the officers of the
society, who have labored in season and
out of season, to discharge their respective
duties. We had frequently heard it sait
by persons that The fair would prove fiz'
zle hence the diligence and labor of the
Society--notwithstandng their Whole
heart was enlisted in the Success ot
tue Society, and this prejudice which had
gained some ground had to be over come
and most nobly aid they over come all
obstacles that appeared in the way, a
greater success never crowned the efforts
of any set Of men.
The "Rubicon" is passed; the "CLEAR
FED COUNTY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY" is an
established fact-a complete success, and
we congratulate the Farmers and Mechan
les of Clarified county r the building up
and permanent establishment of an "Ag.
ricultural Society" among them.
They were most fortunate in selecting
the right men for the right place, which
they did most efiectually in choosing theii
officers, Executive Committee, and Com.
mittce of Arrangements.
The address of Judge Barrett, was
fine production.
The awards ard premiums of the Soci
ETY. viii be fourd in another column.
We learn that the Society will be able
to meet every dollar of their liabilities
and have q little left to peH stpn,p8 ,cith.
This is almost unheard of in the cstat
lishment of Agricultural Societies.
In some of our sister counties, it ha,
taken them from :hree to FIVE years tC
get out of debt; yet in this instance eve.
ry thing is promptly met and discharged
this will enable the Society next year t,
offer larger premiums for everything nee
eSsary and useful

The late Election.

| The late elec lion shows some strange
voting in several of the courties-every>
thing seems to be out ofjoint, which Is
indeed good omen tor the Democracy
in the future.
We have under adverse circumstances
gallantly, "met the enemy" d c

short time, we will 'pick our fiints and
fire again"
The Democracy have gained three
members of Congress in this State-T, B.
Cooper in the 7th district, S. +. Ancona
in the Sth (Berks) district, and Joseph
Bailey in the 10Th district. With the
gains in Ohio and Iowa the Democrats
and south Americans will have majority
in the next Congress. Thus securing TO
the country that branch of tAe general
Government in which the "Irrepressibles'
can do the most harm.
The state Legislature is as dark as
Egypt, the Republican majority on joint
ballot is only Gl, the Democrats having
lost the Senator in the 18th and in the
23d districts, which was unexpected to
both parties.

are all men of character, and of inteli-

their important trusts as will be entirely
satisfactory to every man who breads the
triumph of abol;tionism. II is understood
that these 81 men are about equally, divi-

Douglas and Breckenridge, but should
they be elected, we are perfectly willing
to trust them to vote, as a unit, either for
Mr. Dougla or for Breckenridge, if by
voting they can elect either, or even, If
they can defeat Lincoln, and prevent the
election from going into the House, we are
willing they shall vote for Mr.. Bell, upon

perilous condition ofour beloved country,

feat of the Black Republicans can stand.
