The RtriOt and Union, published at
Harrisburg, Pa, in commenting upon the
opposition to the union OF the Democ-
racy of Pennsylvania, upon joint elect
oral ticket, asks who are the ''leaders Of
disorgan'zation," and answers as fol.

gagged for several years in plotting against the
Democratic party Of Pennsylvania aud voting
against its nominations. They are enraged at
the prospect OF union and harmony, and talk of
getting up another electoral ticket for the pur-
pose Of throwing the State for Lincoln and
Hamlin. They can take no step in furtherance
Of this object without putting themselv "a in
