Important Correspondence.
Aasiocr Of George NJ. Kein to The Inter-
yogatories Of Mr.. Hatdentun.

Hon. r. J. HALDEMAN SIR: Your
circular, unsigned, duly reached me by
mail. Presuming that if it were a sincere
purpose, you had forwarded it, sent it to
Harrisburg for recognition; it was then
authenticated by your signature, and here
with be pleased to receive my reply.
The first resolution signed by H. II.
Sibley, temporary chairman at Washing
ton, after an insinuation that all Demo
Gratis who may be opposed to his particu-
lar organization are secret enemies to the
Constitution and the Union, recommends
to the several State Committees that
they take measures to secure the adoption
of an electoral ticket in their respective
States pledged to the unequivocal support
of the nominees of the National Democrat
ic Convention, Stephen A. Douglas and
Herschel V. Johnson
The second resolution, resolves "that if
any State. Committee shall omit to take the
proper steps for securing such an electo-
raj ticket, then the member of this Com-
mittse in that State is hereby authorized,
either in conjunction with members Of the
State Committee or b. his oaon act Ito take
such action as he may deem necessary and
proper for that purpose l copy the res
olution verbatim the italics are mine
The conclusion of the circular is in the fol
lowing unusual and unprecedented style .
"May / beg that you will be so kind as to
reply before the Gath of this month of Ju.
ly, whether your vote will be cast for Ste
phen A. Douglas and Herschel V. Johnson
without compromise ,equivocation or change
Your failure to reply by the date specified
will be considered as hostile to the Demo
cratic nominees"
l presume the Sibley resolutions are in
troduced in order to show me that ou have
some kind of apology for the abruptinqui-
ry whether my vote will be cast for Doug
las and johnson, "without compromise
eauiyocation or change I answer EN-.
phatically, that l do not recognize the au.
thority which assumes this inquestional
and arbitrary control over the Democratic
organization of the Commonwealth Of
PENNSYLVANIA, and have yet to learn
that peremptory request couched in Ian

eulated to inspire either confidence in, oil

its glorious pathway.

THE Death OF JosEPH GALEs.-Thc
National Jnte hgencer of Monday comes
to us in mourning, and announces the
death of Mr.. Gales as follows:
DEATH OF Mr.. GALEs.-It becomes
our painful duty to announce to the read
ers OF this Journal that Joseph Gales is no
more. He died few minutes after seven
o'clock on Saturday evening last, at Eek
ingtor, his late residence, near this city.
He was in the 18th year Of his age.
"Though this melancholy event was
not entirely unexpected, in consequence of
Mr., Gale infrm health for some months
past, it is none the less true that the blow
so long suspended has at last fallen with a
weight as sudden as it is affective. 1t is
some consolation, however, to know that
his end was calm and vaiuless, as his life
had been serene and virtuous. Full of
years and full of horors, rich in tributes
of veneration and regard awarded ~ good
and great men throughout the land, and
beloved, as falls to the lot of few, by all
who shared his nearer companionship in
INC noiNS anu IuC Ndlhs VI PRIV atc illc1 Hc
has been gathered by the great reaper
Death, shcaf fully ripe for the harvest,
into garner made fragrant and precious
by the fruits of life ever noble in its as
pirations, and ever laborious in good work.
"It is not for us, least of all at mo.
msnt like this, to write his epitaph, nor
are words Of formal commemoration need
ed to indite for our readers that eulogy
which they, equally with us, are compe>
tent TO celebrate in memory of his intel
lectual greatness, 1t were better that We
should keep silent while as yet the startled
ear seems caught by the sound Of a voice
crying with such thrilling emphasis from
the scene of his former activities, like tina;
voice which the Revalator heard from
heaven, saying, write, blessed are the
dead in the Lord from henceforth yea
saith the spirit, that they may rest from
their labors aud their works do follow
them"

The Harrisburg Circular.
Reply Of II. B. Burnham, Esq.,, one Of
The Secretaries of the State Executive
Committee.
MAUcH CHUNK, July 80, 1850.


GENTLEMEN: Your circular addressed
to me, under date of the 18th inst, CON-
municating the action of the members Of
the State Executive Committee, resident
at Harrisburg, and inviting IN early re-
ply, is just received, and | avail myself Of
few leisure moments to state my opinion
of the basis of concurrence recommended
by the Democratic State Committee for the
government of the party at large in our
State. That no misapprehension may
occur, you will allow me to state that,
having reviewed all their action, feel
bound by the Democratic Conventions of
Charleston and Baltimore to sustain Messrs.
Douglas and johnson as the nominees OF
the Democratic party, under existing cir
cumstances. Whatever preferences | may
have had before the decision of the Conven.
ton was pronounced, l have now merged
them in my fealty to the Democratic par
ty, and propose to support those gentle
men (if | may) as the standard bearers of
the distinctive principles the Democracy
profess. My vote was for the resolution
adopted in the Committee on the I'd inst,
and in casting that vote was governed
by desire to obtain for Judge Douglas
such united support from the party as
would, in my opinion, assist the obtain
ment for him of the electoral vote of
Pennsylvania. The axiom Is specially
true in questions of policy "unity is
strength"
Actuated by these feelings, unhesita-
tngly voted for the resolution adopted by
the Committee
l. Because 1 believed that the undivided
vote Of the Democratic party in our State
was necessary to outnumber the combined
Opposition, and that by such union and
determination only could the electoral vote
of this State be secured for Judge Doug.
| las.
9. That if such electoral vote could not
be made available to secure the success of
the nominees, that our principles might
still be triumphant tn The elsction of any
other Democrat, judging IL better 10 elect
Democrat a0,lh or Withom nomiaa-
tiOn, than by any means to aid in electiDg
a Republican.
3. That although differences of opinion
as to minor points existed, and, emanating
therefrom, diversity of feelings had arisen
concerning the action of the National
Convention, yet upon the important, car
dinal principles good degree of unani.
nifty continued to exist, and that it would
be exceedingly unwise to hazard the pro
speet of defeat to our Congressional, State,
Senatorial, Representative and local nom
inees, by pursuing such course as would
hopelessly divide our integrity as State
organization, and secure the election Of
Republicans to fill all those important
stations, and that 'hersfre every true
Democrat must and would approve and
sustain such action as would hea' past
dissGusions, and complete the consolidation
of the Democracy, and avoid the intestine
conflict which threatened Cur. very exis
tencs with entire annihilation, leaving NJ
prospect of future reconciliation and con
cord, and thus ultimately sacrificing tht

TO whom have been known by speech ait

throughout the greater part of my life, il
would seem, therefore that Senator Greer
has either been greatly misled as 10 The
lncts, or else he rrsscribes test of Democ
racy very different from bis party.
Senator Green would have been much
better understood by many thousands Of his
constituency, il when he made this declara
ton, he had also stated the standard by
which he measures Democracy. II the
voting fer Douglas at Charleston with the
full knowledge Of those who sent me that
l would do SOY was here,ical, then indeed
am far short OF his measure; and he will
find great multiiudes OF his friends in this
State, who, il measured by the same rule,
must fall shert a full length. II believing
with Mr.. Douglas in his Lecompton differ
encss with Mr.. Buchanan, was anti Demo,
cratic, then also must fall under the ban oil
excommunca,ion. Or does he mean that
of the mulliindes in this State who have
been the friends Of Col. Benton, none have
been Democrats for ten years? If so, he
should have reflected that 10 men here or
elsewhere have proven more loyal 10 The
great Democratic party than those same men
whom he would thus essay TO read out OF
the party.
For my own part, voting first for An
drew Jackson on his first election, and Tor
Mr.. Buchanan in 1856, and for every Dem
ocratic Presidential candidate in that long
interval; and voting through all that time for
the Democratic Congressional candidates;
frequently holding high and important trust.

majorlties, cannot al this late day submit

cept the party itself. To the judgment oil
that party l am always ready 10 submit.
have no reason 10 suppose that Senator
Green would desire TO submit his own par
ty orthodoxy TO any other test, or that he
would prescribe any other measurement Of
party principles or party feaIty.. than that
which the party makes. BY such trust he
and /, and all Democrats may abide. Those
differences which unfortunately distracted
