POLITICAL,

UNION AMONG THE DEMOCRACY OF PHILADELPHIA.
At meeting of Douglas club of Philadelphia,
held on Thursday evening, the following resolu-
tiOns were adopted
Resolved, That we deem it of the utmost impor-
tance to secure the election of Henry d. Foster the
regular Democratic nominee for Governor as his
election will indicate, unmistakably, to the coun-
try, that Pennsylvania is true to her instincts and
her attachment to the Union and the Constitution
Resolved, That we will forego, for the time be-
ing, any difference of opinion among Democrats
upon national topics, for the sake of the UnIon aad
that will our efforts and undivided energies
to promote the election of Henry D. Foster, as Gov
ernor OF our good old Democratic Commonwealth.
Resolved, That for the same great cause, and in
order to secure the weldeserved supremacy of
contests, that we will continue to adhere to regu
lar Democratic usage, and will support the nomi-
of our local conventions, irrespective of their
preferences for Presidential candidates
MORE CANDIDATES FOR THE PRESIDENCY.
We lind the following address in the St. Marys
Beacon of the 3d.
FeLloC. Democrats of SAINT Mayys couniv: 1t is
conceded by all judicious that, in the present
condition OF our party, the disciples of the alb
horrent doctrine of negro equality (the black Re-
publican party will succeed in electng their Presi-
dent. This result will be traught with tremendous
consequences, in which our beloved State, county
and dearest family relations, will be all involved
We believe that the Democratic party, concen-
trated and united, can prevent this result, and
peaceably at the polls in November, stay the march
ly threatening, in the event of their success to
trample upon our dearest rights and violate our
peace. Our object should then be to brine about
this union of our party which, under present cir
cumstances, seems to be hOpeessly divided. Doug
las and johnson on the one side, and Breckenridge
and Lane on the other, must agree to retire,
they must be retired from the contest, and the par
ty must hail other men by accamatiOn as their
candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency.
Thanks to the conservative characters OF the men,
as well as for the elevated positions they occupy,
and which have placed them above and beyond po-
litical aspirations, can hail Chief Justice Roger
B. Taney as name worthy of the high office of
the Presidency, and Judge Samuel Nelson, of New
York, worthy of the Vice-Presdency of the
United States.
Let each county and every city in the Union, in
mass meetings assembled, receive and endorse by
acclamation the presentation of these pure and pa
triotic names. 1t does not unfit that this ef-
fort to preserve the civil and religious liberty of
our country should have its beginning in our be-
loved county, in which more than two centuries ago
their foundations were laid.
We invite you all, therefore, to attend at Leonard
town on Saturday, the lst of September next, in
order to inaugurate the movement.
