We have news of our old friends, the Japa-
nese Ambassadors. On The 10th of July they
had got as far as the Cape de Verde Islands, on
their way home. The skies had been propi-
tious. They had had but little wind, and con-
seauently but little sea-sickness. According
to the reports, they had good appetites, good
spirits and pleasant recollections of their visit
to the United States. The Ambassadors had
caused to be removed from the cabin assigned
TO them almost every article OF furniture which
had been provided expressly for them here at
great cost, preferring to sit on The carpet in
the Oriental style. They managed to vile
away the time in eating, seven or eiget times
day, smoking, playing chess. and caressing
their great toes--which latter operations afford
ed them evident solacc and satisfaction

Vote of the State Committee

We find in the York Gazette the vote
Of the members of tha State Committee at
their recent meeting upon adopting tile
plan of Union. 1t is as follows:
YEAs-Messrs. Anderson, Askins, Barr
(PLiladelphia,) Blair, Bratton, Brown,
(Bcrks) Brewster, Burnham, Cetti, Chad.

ford) Miller, (Dauphin,) Parker, Uan. }
Thompson, Ward and Zeigler-l5.
The analysis Of this vote is only neccs-
sary to disprovc the accusation that the
resolutions of the Committee were forced
upon the friends of Douglas by the friends
OF Breckenridge, and that they were
trick intended to work exclusively to the
advantage Of the latter. Among the yeas
we find Bratton, of Cumberland, editor of
the Carlisle Volunteer, which displays the
names OF Douglas and johnson; Diefen.
bach, of the Clinton Democrat, a staunch
and bold editor, also for Douglas; Dono.
van, of Philadelphia, friend of Douglas;
Gleim, of Lebanon, also for Douglas; Mo.
naghan, of Chester, who declared himself,
IN Committee, for RSuglas; Muhlenb3rg,
OF B1rk', an anti-L1compton leader, and
for Douglas; SAMSON, of Fulton, editor
OF tbs De0'ocrot, which has hoited tho
Douglas flag; Weiser, of Lehigh, editor
efthe Democratic German organ of that
county, and an original Douglas man
Besides these there are doubtless other ac.
tive friends of Douglas in the majority,
with whose position we are not familiar
These men really wsnted to aid the cause
OF Doug las, and they voted for the reso-
luton because they saw that he had no
earthly prospect of carrying the State ex.
cept through the Union of the Democratic
party.
On the other side, We find the very first
name recorded against the plan of Union
is that of Vincent L. Bradford, supports
er Of Breckenridge, and one of the members
OF the Pennsylvania delegation who assist
ed in bis nomination at Baltimore. These
facts are sufficient to disprove the charge
brought by some of the insane Doaclas

Action of the State Committee

Victory is now within the grasp of the
Democracy of Pennsylvania. The State
Executive Committee, at their meeting on
the I'd inst, as will be seen by the official
proceedings, passed resolution, by the
strong vote of three to one, obligating the
Electors chosen by the Reading Conven.
ton, in the event Of their election, to vote
as unit for Mes,rs. DOUGLAS and JOHN
son, if the electoral vote of Pennsylvania
will elect them. Ifi will not elect these
gentlemen, but will avail to elect Messrs.
BREcKINRIDGE and LANE, it is to bo cast
for the latter. In case it will elect nci-
thcr, by being cast as unit, then the
Electors are left free to vote as their own
judgments may dictate.
The proposition is so manifestly fair and
proper, and must commend itself so strong.
ly to the appreciation of every Democrat
IN the State who is sincerely desrous for
the defeat of the Black Republicans, that
we cannot refrain from congratulating
our friends upon this auspicious opening of
the Presidential campaign. We told our
readers last week that all is not lost that
is in danger. Out of the nettle danger
the Democracy of the old Keystone Sta tie
can pluck the flower safety, if they will
only unite as one man in support of the
fair and honorable proposition suggested
by the Executive Committee. The De-
mocracy Of the State are now, or, at least,
should be, a unit against the Republicans,
and those who trample under foot so ex.
csllent plan for harmonizing differences
of poinion in our ranks, and resort to dis
organization, only demonstrate their hos
tility to the Democratic party, and thsir
desire to aid in the election of LINCOLN.
Let our friends all stand shoulder to
shoulder IN this conflict, in defence of the
Constitution and the Union; by so doing
we Shall defeat the plans of the Republi
cans, ana secure the vote Of the State for
Democratic President, whether the choice
fall upon DOUGLAS or BRECKINRIDdE.
We also render certain the triumphant
election of our excellent candidate for
Governor, Gen. HENRY d. FOSTER, (who,
we happen to know, is gratifed with the
action of the Committee,) majority of
Congressman and Legislators, as well a
the local officers in the Democratic coun.
ties OF the Commonwealth. Any other
course would be the defeat of them all
from Governor down, and give the State
hopelessly over to the common enemy Of
our party and its principles.-Lancaster

Our National Flag.

We have raised the names of the two
Tickets, pronounced to have been nomina.
ted by the Baltimore Democratic Conven
ton, for President and Vice President, in
order that those who feel SO inclined, may
vote for Messrs DOUGLAS and JOHNSON,
whilst we shall most cordially give our
hearty support to the election of Messrs.
BREcKINRIpGE and LANE. The name of
MAJOR BRECKENRIDGE, the gallant soldier
and noble young Kentucky Statesman, is
tower of strength with the Democracy of
Columbia, and also in the old keystone
State, and coupled, as it is, with the name
of the Patriot Soldier, GEN. LANE, Of
Oregon, will carry Pennsylvania, in next
November, with an enthusiasm unequalled
and scarcely excelled by the great contest
Of 1882, when she rallied to the tune of
fifty thousand majority for the "Hcro of
New Orleans" These are, briefly, our
reasons for prcfarring the election of
Breekinridge and Lane.

Modest t--Very =.

The Philadelphia Press, ofthc 4th inst,
Is very indignant because Gen. FOSTER,
the Democratic candidate for Governor,
approves of the action of the State Central
Committee, and threatens him with the
loss of fifty thousand voters at the Octo-
Der election This kind of talk might
pass current, if it came from Democratic
paper but when it is Illuminated through
the columns of a journal which has been
engaged in the IamtaJle enterprise of
distracting the Democratic party and op-
posing its regular nominees (and thereby
aiding and abetting the Black Republican
partly for the last two years or more, and
whose editor is now holding high and
lucrative office obtained from the Black
Republican House of Representatives, it
becomes ipsufferably insolcnt as we'll as
suprcmely ridiculous! Dcnunciations from
that quarter will have no terrors for Gen.
FOSTER, nor will it excite any other feel
ing than that of disgust in the mind of any
true hearted Democrat.
The Prtss is evidently playing deep
game to gecurc the election of LINCOLN.
With all its professions of friendship for
Judge DOUGLAS, it essays to defeat the
very plan by which the vote of Pcnnsyl-
vania can be insured for that gentleman.
The division of the Democratic party of
Pennsylvania, which the p. eSs advocates
so strenuously, would send Il good grist to
the Black Republican mill, and ensure
not only the election Of LINCOLN, but also
the election of CURTIN, and the Republ.
can candidates for Congress, Legislature,
&c., throughout the State. That this is
what the Press is driving at must be p
parent to every sensible man, and We
marvel that any Democrat could be found
willing to follow its lead any longer.
Speaking on this subject, the Harris
burg Patriot very truthfully remarks:
No sincere friend of Mr. Douglas can
follow such a leader They know to what
end all his cndeavors tend. They know
that division is the defeat of the Demo
cratic party, and the detcs, of the party
is the defeat of Douglas. Forncy knows
this and wishes it, while he is trying to
impose upon those who do not wish the
defeat of Douglas. bat who are blind c.
nough to 10 low his lead If any of the
supporters Of Mr.. Douglas are so blind
and stupid as to believe that his election
can be promoted by adopting the counsels
Of the Republican Clerk Of the House of
Representatives, let them do SO but, at
the same time, they mu,t assume tho re-
sponsibility of Dir Douglas defeat, and
stop their mouths against the Democratic
organization Of Pennsylvania, which is la
boring to secure the electoral vote of tn 4
State for Mr.. Douglas if, by any po ,si-
bility, 1t can accomplish his election

FoRNEY's Press which assumes tn e
leadership of the Douglas Democrats, ad-
vises them to make common cause with the
Black Republicans, in order to defeat the
Breckenridge movement, the object of which
it assures them, is the disruption of the
Union. The advice, mo nstrous as it is,
does not surprise us in the least, coming
from the hireling Clerk of the Republi-
can House, but what surprises us is that,
after so many palpable evidences of the
trcasonable designs of this political Swiss,
there should still be found people so utter
ly blinded, and SO easily imposed upon,
as to be influenced in their political opin-
ions by the Press.
We wonder what the friends of Mr.,
Douglas, and that statesman himself, will
have to say to this beautiful combination
ticket of Lincoln and Douglas !-Penq-

Noble Brothers.

Col, Wright's paper, The Lu.~ne
Union, and Col. Forney's paper, The
(Philadelphia) Press, are both out in long
and abusive editorials against the union
proposed and agreed upon by the Demo-
cratic State Committee and which has
been hailed with delight and satisfaction
by every true democrat in Penns ylyania.
Can it be possible that these men are the
friends of the democratic party, or even of
Judge Douglas Far frem it They are
determined to play into the hands of the
republicans, and elect Lincoln. They
know that Douglas cannot be elected with
out the thorough union of the party in this
State, and yet they refuse to accede to
fair proposition for that result The peo-
pie will not be blind to the action, nor
careless of the manifest intention of the
Douglas leaders-they will not follow For
ney and Wright and Haldeman and Hisk-
man, when they attempt thus to betray
them into the hands of the republicans.
No, they will remain in the regular Or
ganization in Pennsylvania, members of
the party that nominated Foster, of the
party that chose the electoral ticket, of the
party that proposes to carry out the will of
the democracy, as expressed by the State
Committee, of the party that prefers Doug
las to Lincoln; although their first choice
is John G. Breckinridge of Kentucky.
