In Favor of Union.

The Chambersburg Valley Spirit, an able
and spirited advocate of Judge Douglas, and
which strenuousIy opposed the action Of
the State Executive Committee Of the I'd OF
July, has thought better of the proposed
arrangement and now warmly advocating
the plan adopted by the Committee at their
late meeting al Cresson. In addition TO an
elaborate and able article endorsing the
compromise, the last number of that paper
has the following truthful and significant
alusion TO the gentleman who assumes the
leadership of the Douglas forces in Penn
sylvania, and to the bogus Committee which
met at Harrisburg on Wednesday last: -
az Snake IN the Grass-Forney's Press
is opposing, with all the subtlery for which
il is noted, the union of the entire Demo-
cratic party of the State on the Electoral
ticket formed by the Reading Convention.
1t is in degree presumptuous on the part
of Mr. ForneY to step back into the Demo
cratic party, uninvited, and attempt TO con-
more apparent every day that the Press is
secretly working for the overthrow of the
Democratic party in this State. The signs
OF the times clearly indicate that the period
is not very remote when Forney will follow

The Conrention-Our Nominees.

The object and design of political Con-
the most proper and unexceptionable per-
cons in party TO be its candidates. Strength,
fitness and consistant political character,
must be the elements to make up the result,
if the work of the Convention is to inspire
confidence and respect. The Convention
of last Monday seems very well TO have
answered this design. The delegates rep
resented a very full ana fair expression OF
the popular will, for the township elections
were never before TO our knowledge so well
attended. The delegates, as they came in,
understood every subject, and but very few
votes were changed by persuasion, during
The day. The ticket comes as near pleasing
every reasonable desire as any ticket could
do, when SO many various minds are TO be
suited. As all cannot think alike, so of
course all cannot be gratiied in every wish,
and each will see the proprieiy and necess-
ity of abiding the decision of the majority.
More of the offices in this county are a
source OF much profit, and it is of more
importance TO the people that they should
be filed by competent men than that any
one individual should be favored.
FoR Coxea Ess-there was no opposition
shown to the conferees who are chosen as
the known friends of Hon. GEoRGE ScoTT,
ofthis county. They are instructed to use
all aad honorable means 10 secure his
nominations, which we sincerely trust they
will carry out. This nopiuation was an
act of good policy 10 the usages of the party,
as well as OF justice to faithful representa-,
tive. Il is net necessary for US 10 state that
he has filed several responsible positions
with credit to himself as we'll as to lhe par.
ty to which he belongs. He represented
his constituents when holding State Office,
say nothing about his official career in the
State Legislature, like a true Democrat, with
honor to mis- constituents and himself. We
trust that the other counties in the District
will concede The nomination 10 Mr.. ScoTT, as
his nomination and election in the Distinct
will do as much honor to the voters as 10
the Office. Columbia county would poll a
larger vote for him than any other man
spoken Of for this nomination.
Foa SEsAroR-it will be seen by a glance
at the proceedings of the County Conven-
ton, in another column of the STAR, thai
NJ z. JACKSON, Esq, of Berwick, received
the nomination of this county, for this re-
spousible and important Office. We hope
the claims OF Columbia viii be given due
consideration and fairly dealt with by the
Conferees, as it must be. conceded by alI al
this time, that the claims of Columbia are
equal, if not stronger. than any other county
in the district. We present man in every
way sminentIy qualified for fhe position.
and If nominsied would be an honor 10 the
Office instead Of the Office honosing him

lnr candidates for President.

We this day place at the head of our
paper the names of JOHN C.. BRBcKisRIDGE
and JOSEPH LANE for President and Vice
President, expressive of our choice. We
have long since named our preferences for
President, but until the present put up no
mans name. When the Union Ticket was
first proposed, we resolved at once TO give
it our hearty support as the only sure means
for the Democracy 10 succeed in carrying
the election over the common enemy in the
Stale of Pennsylvania. And, as there were
two candidates claiming 10 be Democratic
nominees, we thought not TO have either
mans name at the head of the STAR, but TO
battle assiduously for the election of the
Union Electoral Ticket. But TO save trouble
of explaining nearly each week, either by
editorial or copied articles, which of the
four candidates are our preference, we have
hung out the flag, with the names of JOHN
c. BREcKIsRIDoE and JOSEPH LANE, our
standard bearers, inscribed thereon.
1t would be absurd, under such circum-
stances, TO speak of either of the candidates
as being really nqtional nominees they may
be national in their principles, but certainly
are not in their nominations. Having to
make a choice between Them. we shall
support that one, as we have 6ver done,
who most nearly approaches our princi-
pies, and promises equality of rights 10 all
the country. And, however much some
few of our friends may censure the course
which, upon candid view of all the cir
cums.ances, we have ielt compelled by
our convictions of duty 10 take, we trust
that when the excitement shall have subsi-
ded, and reason resumed its sway, they
viii unite with Us in approving it, and say
that we have done right.
