unanimously agreed to recommend TO the De-
mocracy and to the Convention, plan Of ope-
ratonS upon which the friends Of Douglas and
Breckenridge mayrespectivcly unite their forces
upon single electoral ticket, made up in 4 ra-
tic of four Douglas Men to three Brecknridge

"This, we understand, is substantially the
plan agreed upon by the Democratic State
Central Committee for the Presidential CAM

following such refusal. In this view we urge
its acceptance by every man who loves his
country more than he regards personal consi-
dcratons. With the alternative Of success or
defeat staring US in the face as consequence
Of our choice Of action, we should bring every
important consideration involved to the test Of
calm Judgment and reflection before deciding
to risk the latter with its attendant evils.

his support to those noble national candidates.

on the arrangement recommended by the State
Committee. Let us pronounce and work for
union, harmony and success, asking only for

of compromise on all sides. With such pro-
