Hcsohted, That the Democratic Electoral Ticket be headed with the name of Stephen A. Douglas or John C. Breckinridge as an elector at largo, and in the event of the suc cess of said ticket, if the greater number of rotes shall have been cast for Stephen A. Douglas, then the vote of the electoral college of the . State shall be cast for Stephen A. Dbuglas and Herschel V. Johnson, for Presi dent and Vice President; but if for John C. Breckinridge, then for John C. Breckinridge and Joseph Lane, for the same offices. If the vote of Pennsylvania cannot elect the candi dates for whom a majority of the votes are cast, and it can elect any man running for the .office of President of the United States claiming to bo a Democrat, then the vote of the electoral college shall be cast for that candidate. If it will not elect of the 1 Democrats for whom it is cast, or any of the Democrats who were voted for in the States, then the votes shall he cast for the candidate who has the majority of the votes of the State; and that the Chairman of this Committee be instructed to obtain from the gentlemen on the Democratic Electoral Ticket of the State their several and distinct pledges of acquies cence in the foregoing resolution, and- to re port the result of his action in the premises at the next meeting of the Committee, to be held on the day of .

All who want good bargains should giro him a call. We invite attention to the address of Hon. Wm- H. Welsh, Chairman of the Democratic State Executive Committee of Pennsylvania. It is a thoughtful and earnest appeal to the Democracy of this Commonwealth to bo “up and doing,” in this trying hour of our country’s history. It deserves to be well pondered by every patriotic citizen of our State. Our County Fair commences on the lO.th and closes on the 12th inst.

Mr. Foster never, was a Solicitor for the. Railtond, and has said openly that he opposed the repeal of the ton nage .tax. The Harrisburg gambler and spoutcr, John C. Kukkle; however, is a Solic itor for the Railroad, and it is generally be lieved that he is well paid by that corporation for making speeches for Curxix.

TURi¥ OUT! KV SilTTRBif, OCTOBER .5, 1860. IN CARLISLE. The Toiinn gc Tax. O” William J. Shearer, our candidate for Assembly, has said', over and over again, in his various speeches; that in the event of his elec tion; he would oppose, with all his might, any attempt to repeal the tonnage tax —and this has been his position for years. But yet, not withstanding all this, we have a calumniator in this town who, not long since, declared in a speech that “ Shearer favored the repeal of this tax.’’ A man' who declares before he leaves town that ho intends (at a township meeting,) to assert this lie, and then does as sert it, deserves to have his ears cropped. “So far as the editor of the Volunteer is con cerned, we are willing to take in explanation, the statement ho made to Carl Schurz, that he had never read the speech, and believing the extract, to ho true, published it as such." Is the Herald really demented, or what docs it mean ? The editor intimates that the ex tract we published from Mr. Schurz’ speech was not true , and yet the same number of the Herald contains Sonunz’speech in full, and it appears th'e extract we published is the same, word for word, as the Herald publishes ! Not true, indeed ! It is true —just as wo publish ed it—just as the Herald published it. Mr. Schurz himself said he used the language, but intended it as language for Mr. Douglas’ mouth (how honorable!) and not his own.— The Herald cannot deny that Schurz used the language, for he said himself that ho did use it.

The meeting of the Poster Club, at Ray mond’s Hotel, on the evening of Sept. 26, was by far the largest we have yet had in Car lisle.

Democrat, the old organ of the Democracy of “ little Perry,” pays the following compliment to our townsman, Mr. SheXrer, one of'the candidates for Assembly in this district: “ William J.

' W e ''a S^cc ,, that Col. F. ‘hrls always tcr 'bp oar friend; but it is pusUlauimoualnpliim^ mtli a ‘.‘.want of gratitude.’’ Such slang is unwor ■ thy even, Forney.

If, in .our -whole country, there is one men more than another Who displays “ his utter want of gratitude," that man is;the Clerk of the Republican House of Representa tives—the apostate Forney. Now, for another extract :• “Mr. Bratton, like ’’tho rest of his' school, con coals tho tmlh.in order to assist the wrong. While denouncing the straight Douglas electoral ticket, and calling upon tho.fricnds of Doner, as to rote for tho enemies of Douglas on tho fusion ticket, ho is dishonest enough to. refuse to state that tho straight Douglas electoral ticket not only meets the warm approval of Steuiien A. Douglas, but' Was abso lutely appointed at .his earnest request. Will this man Bratton, .sny, that Douglas is for Lincoln, because Douglas is for tho straight ticket ?” The assertion that .the‘straight Douglas electoral ticket was appointed by Judge Doug las' earnest request, We venture to say is not true. What authority has Fornet to make such an assertion ? Wo doubt very much whether ho has tho confidence of Judge Doug las. Certainly, in this State, Douglas’ most devoted friends will have nothing to do with Forney. They avoid him, purposely, because they know and feel that Forney is under stroijg suspicion;’ No, sir—Judge Douglas did not counsel tho breaking down of the reg ular ticket in this State. It is a calumny upon his character as a Democrat and as a man. - Another'extract from Forney’s article and we are done: j, , '• Mr, Bratton flies tho flag of Douglas ami Johnson from his masthead; bat his colors, like his statements, are false. The pirate who goes forth to ravage and to burn, to rob and to murder, unfurls thd flag of s'omo civilized nation in order moro offoc- tuftlly.to accomplish hiafionclisli purposes; and so with the postmaster of tho Carlisle Volunteer. Tho namo of Douglas printed at tbohead of his column is a decoy and a cheat.” , It is the common trick of the burglar, -when hotly pursued, to cry out “stop thief!” that he may draw attention from himself. So it is with Forney. When he says that we placed the name of Judge DooQi.Asnt the head of our paper for the purpose of deception, ho utters what he knows is false. What object could wo have had in view in raising the name of Douglas to our mast-head, and then secretly opposing' him f When, as a member of the Reading Convention,, we voted for several Douglas men as Delegates to Charleston, was that a “ cheat” too t When, last winter, with one exception,, wb published every speech Judge D. : delivered in the Senate, and thus created an early and a strong feeling for him in this county, was’that also a “ cheat?”- : No, John Forney, you know bettor, but your ma- lignant heart and the duty you owe to the Re-, publican cause prompts yon to falsify. Now, farewell, John W. Forney. You have intimated that bur lohjg personal friend ship must close/,. So bo it. Our intimacy commenced in boyhood, and wo believed it sincere. . But we were mistaken. We found a viper beneath the rose; ,we found dishones ty when we expected.honor;, black-hearted treachery when wo expected truth, and sincer ity.', " THE ISSUE FAIBLF STATEO. Is the Negro Eqdql with the While Son The object of this article is to show that the above is ono of tho issues fairly presented to the people of Pennsylvania and tho United States in tho present Gubernatorial and Phes idontial contest—that tho. Republicans main -1 taiti the affirmative of this issue, advocating the equality of tho white and black races, and that the Democrats and supporters of Bell and Everett maintain the negative. The Republicans assume- high authority for tho position they occupy in maintaining the equality of tho races—nothing less than the Declaration of Independence, ond this sacred and venerated instrument is referred to by their candidates and orators as directly at va riance with the institution- of slavery. Allu sion was made to the Declaration of Indepen dence as sanctioning this doctrine-of equality of the races at the late mass meeting in this borough, by Mr. Junkin, the- candidate for Congress; Col. Curtin, tho candidate fat Gov ornor, and' last and least, of all, that wander ing.fugitivo; Carl Sciiurz. The institution of slavery, say the-Republican orators, is in direct conflict with that clause in the DOclnrSi tion of Indopohdonco, which declares that “ all men are created equal,” Thisolnuso, wo say, was cited by Col. Cua vr.-v, Mr. Junkin, arid Carl Scudlix, to show the equality of the white arid black races.— AA r o have before ,us the speech of SctiURE, pub lished- in the- Herald Supplement of tho 23d ult 0 in which this doctrineof the'equality of the negro and white races is attempted to bo sustained from the clause quoted from the Declaration of Independence. That we may not do injustice- to this fugitive orator, hired, if report is true,.by the Republican State Com mittee of Pbnnsylvania, for the neat little sum of $7,000, to persuade the honest Germans of Pennsylvania to he negro worshippers, and vote for Curtis: and Lincoln, we will brief ly quote from Senertzs’ Springfield speech,'de livered to. the Abolitionists of Massachusetts, to show that he considers a negro equal to a white man- This speech of Scrioirz was in reply to the argument of Jndgo DowGiuvtf, who held that tho clause in the Declaration of Independence referred to the whiteraOeafone and hot to the African—that {be ehuraeters, motives and con duct of the signers of the Dteetaratfoii could not bo vindicated on any other hypothesis^— most of whom hold,.‘at that time, the African race in servitnde, for in 1770'slavery e.sisttil in almost every State in the Union, and. had not been abolished oven in Pennsylvania.— But, the immaculate V/itss, bccomies, indignant ■and very wrotby and abusive of Judge I)ouo i.as, because ho dares to insinuate that Thom as Jefferson and Charles Carrol and -Bb i ward lluixcboe and all the other signers of the Declaration and sagos of the Devolution, when in that instrument they declared that “all men arc created equal,’-’ they did not in tend to put thcmselvo upon an equality with theirnegro servants. Bub to prove our position, we will adduces foyrextfacts from the speech 'of: this Dutch Abolitionist, as fare a biped in Pennsylvania ds a Wacfc. Wan, and had to > b 6 imported' into pur good old Dutch Commoh ■ wealth from the prairies of Wisconsin, at ?7,- OOO.for the campaign, to persuade tho honest Germans that they are on a perfect equality with negroes! Carl becomes not only indignant but elo quent at tho slanderous imputation of Judge Douglas that old Thomas Jefferson, .when he vyrote the Declaration of. Independence, did not intend to say that his servant Sambo was created equal with himself, and bursts forth iu the following sublime-oratory: ■ “ This is the smy Mr. Douglas smuts you to read, and .understand the proudest pages of American history. That is the kind of history with which he finds it necessary to prop his mongrel doctrine of - popular sovereignty,— That is what lie calls vindicating the charac ter and motives and the conduct o,f tho sign ers of .the Declaration of Independence. Thus he did not ’blush hi slander Jefferson, who when speaking of his country, meant the world ; and when speaking of his follow-citi zens, meant mankind.” Arid this is the inode in which this import ed Dorman vindicates the memory of Thomas I Jefferson from tho slanderous abnseof Judge Douglas. Judge Douglas affirms that when Jefferson declared “ all men were created equal," he intended the white race and not tho African. Carl Sciiurz denounces this as a slander upon Jefferson, “who," he says, “ when speaking of his follow-citizens, meant mankind," including of course Cufty, Sambo and Caesar, and the entire colored population. Now, we submit,'who is the slanderer of Jefferson f Judge, Douglas, who vindicates tho memory of this groat statesman from pla cing tho colored upon an equality with the whith races, or Carl Suhurz, who declares that tho author of tho Declaration of Inde pendence “ when speaking of his follow-citi zens, meant mankind"—thus necessarily in cluding the sable Africans ? Again, Carl Scuurz thus, apostrophizes the spirits of tho committee who framed and re ported the Declaration of Independence: “I see the illustrious committee of five rise from their graves, at their head Thomas Jef ferson, and I hear him say to Mr;- Douglas, ‘Sir, you may abuse us ns much nsyoii please, but have the goodness to spare us with your vindications of our character and motives.’ ” Look at the brazen effrontery of this wan dering fugitive Abolitionist. He dare to put such language in the mouth of Thomas Jef ferson, and addressed to one of the greatest of American statesmen. He, indeed, attempt to vindicate the character of Jefferson from the “ slanders” of Judge Douglas, and. thisby making Jefferson as vile an Abolitionist as Schurz himself I With entire propriety might wo represent the spirit of Thomas Jefferson addressing Schurz in his own language, thus: “ Sir, you may abuse us as much as yon please, but have tho goodness to spare us with your vin dications of pur character apcT'motivcs,” by asserting that tho Declaration of Independ ence maintains the equality of tho negro with tho white man. , ' And this, follow-citizens, is the, entertain, mont to which you have been invited in Penn sylvania, to listen to tho slanders of this itin - orarit Abolitionist, who, Judns-likb, has been hired by tho Republican State Committee, not for thirty, but for seven thousand pieces’of silver, to traverse our Commonwealth, sland ering the. memory of tho immortal Jefferson by declaring that in the'Declaration of Inde pendence, Jefferson ignored tho distinction of races, and placed the African upon an equality with white man. ■ Wo have tl)us shown tho Eopublican doo trißo’ of , negro equality as advocated by their candidates and hired Abolition orators—by Carl Scnunz, tho groat Magnus Appolto.'of Rcpubliconism, the essence and embodiment of its principles, and who dares to pronounce Judge Douglas tho Jerrttsatt be* cause lie - deciored that in the, clause of tho Declaration of Indondenoo that declares “ all men are created’equal,” tho African rnoerwas not intended to bo included by its'author. 'The Democratic doctrine,as we understood it, is that contended for by Judge Doncfotxs, that the Deolarotion of Independence never was intended by its author os sanctioning tho doctrine of tho equality of the white nnd black races,. If the negro is created thoequql of tho white man,, bo ought to be treated os his equal —we ought to mate Mm a companion; and take hfm to our.tabieand curbed; wooughtto give him the right of suffrage, subject him , to military duty, and make- him eligible to, any and all the'offices in onr republic. This is the necessary sequence of tho Republican.dec* trine of |||gre equality, and hence, in the- States where tho government has tho hands of the Republicans for some: time, os New York and 'Massachusetts, we find the' right of suffrage conferred upon notaries. And in Massachusetts, the most thoroughly Repub lican State in tho Union, intormnrrioges be tween' the white and black races nro sold to bo more frequent than in all the other States of tho Union combined 1 The Deinoeratre party, hs wo understand its principles on this subject, hold that the negro is inferior to the white pice; that ho never was intended by his Creator to he-placed upon an equality—thntfiirsomo great and wise pur pose-, which it is not necessary stow to investi gate, the Creator never intended the negro to he made a companion andl equal by white men. lichee we find in his creation, certain indelible? marks of inferiority stamped upon his image. Ills black skin, woolly head, tfflt nose, long heels, and that strong and peculiar aroma so offenslvet to the nasal organ of .white men, shell his improvident nature and inca pacity to> penwfe £4 eorttfiyrt.tWe livelihood, all designate the negro as inferior In the-grade- if humanity to the white man. . . But yet, Oaui, Scinnw, in his groat speech to the Abolitionists of Massachusetts, re-pub lished in a Soppleriient to one of the Repub- lican papers of this town, tolls us that if the Declaration "that all men are created equal’'’ docs not include the African race,' then accor ding to the theory enunciated by Judge Doug las' in. his- Springfield, speech, “ our Declara tion of Independence is q diplomatic' dodge, mo longer the saercil code of the rights of marl, bat n hypocritical piece of special, pleading, drawn up hy a hatch of flrtfftl pettifoggers, who when speaking of the rights of man, meant b»t the p'ivilegea of a setof aristocratic slave - holders, h«t styled it the rights of roan in or der to throw dost Sm the eyes of' the world, and to inveigle noble-hehrletl fools Into lending them aid and assistance/' ’ ‘‘'Your boasted Revolutionary sires, no longer heroes and se dges, bat accomplished hand joggers and hypo crites, who said one thing and meant another, and obtained rthrtr and nuoney and assistance aqd sympathy oh (false, pretences." .“Your groat American Revolution, no longer the great champion of universal principles, hut a mean Yankee trick, a wooden nutmeg—the most impudent imposition ever practiced upon the world.” With what force and pro priety plight, wo portray the consequences of the doctrine of negro equality, taught by this hired Abolition lecturer,anddescriboinhisown language the result of denying his favorite dogma of negro equality. We migbkroprc sent Carl as enforcing- the troth of his'grent Abolition creed, tluiST—“ 1 toll you, my Ger man brethren of unless,you will admit that the negro is created equal with the German, English, Irish, French, or the rest of mankind who wear white skins, and are willing to recoiyo and associate with them on terms of-porfeet equality, then “ yonr jDeelara tion of Independence is a diplomatic dodge, drawn op by artful pettifoggers, to throw dust in the eyes of the world,” “ I tell you fur- ther, unless you are willing to take Cuffy and Sambo to your bed and your table, and take them into your society and companionship ns you would those of your Own color and nation, then are yonr boasted sires no longer he roes and sages, but accomplished hnmlmggcrs and hypocrites.

Curtin and Beni. F. Junkin, the Her publican candidates for Governor and Con gress, and hired by the Republican State Committee to lecture the Germans in their own language’; for he stated publicly that his part of the programme, assigned him by dho State Committee, was to speak in-German- to the Gorman citizens.- • We,have stated the Republican doctrine of negro equidity fairly add impartially, :as ex pounded by their abolition champion, Caul Scnurtz, who travels in l company, ant) speaks from the same stand, with Col.

Wo say to all whp belieyo with Carl Schunz in the doctrine of negro equality, and placing the black race upon an equality with white men—-vote for Curtin and J unkin. On the contrary, nil who’ repudiate what we consider this Republican heresy, who believe in the Democratic doc trine that the African is an inferior race of the human species, never intended by .their Creator to, occupy a position, of equality with white men; who are unwilling to confer,upon tho negro tho right of suffrage, erhhvMh sit in tho halls of State or National-]^'p. tion; who would bo unwilling to bo govern r by q -black Governor or President, or tre V theUi he equals, 1 and have them tor bohj ' ffaughtors-in-law, os they have in Massa^ o '- all suoh vote for Gon.
