ADDRESS OF" THE DE^ll^iuTlFsr\*TE
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF PENN
SYLVANIA. 0
To the Democracy of Pennsylvania. s
la a lew weeks vcu will be called upon !o ' ,
perform the most important duty that ever de
solved upon you as American citizens. At no
t ..ie iu '. history of our country was your ac- '
lion invested with deeper interest nor fraught
with greater consequences. Pennsylvania is
again the battle ground of the Union : and up
on her decision in October n-xi, wii! depend in
a great measure, the triumph or defeat of the
Republican party in the November contest.
Deeply impressed with this truth, the Demo
cratic Stale Executive C mmitte** desirLr• f-
Vto address you. It needs no lengthy argu
ment at this time to oai! you to a sense of duty.
In tile cri>is now impending, every 'rue rv.r:-
ci can see at a single glance the pathway he
should tread with unfaltering fiost-ps
Ever since the separation of the National De
mocracy at Baltimore, the S'ate Ommitt-e has
earnestly labored to promote the union of tne
Democratic party in Pennsylvania. It has
-ought no oilier object, a has struggled to pro
duce no other result. When the chasm yawn
ed that threatened to engulf the rful orga
nization which, in past, has -een able to
contend successfully with lilt* l'-es of the Con
stitution and the contemners of the equality r>f
the States, the grent heart of the Ame'-ican peo
ple was filled with dread, and the Democratic
masses were overwhelmed with consternation.
The Republican party viewed our internecine
warfare with ili-disguised delight. Its leaders,
confident of success, noioiy enunciated their dan
gerous and treasonable sentiments. The advo
cates of the odious doctrines of Seward, Sumner,
mcoln and John Brown, became reckless and
.-Cant. I hey believed that the prestige of suc
cess which had crowned the laborsol the Read
ing Convention was irrevocably broken, and
' h *\>' promptly made the Keystone Slate the
6-id oi their active and energetic exertions.
On our soil the battle is to be fought, and with
cur people the victory or defeat must be accom
plished.
In this emergency, the State Committee, ac
tuated by leelmgs of patriotism, and prompted
°nly by a wish to secure the triumph of the
food old cause," endeavored to agree upon a
course of action that would enable the Demo
cratic masses to unite upon one Electoral ticket,
■ltd thus permit them to make a common effort
•gainst the candidates of the Republican party.
After much deliberation, a plan of union, was
ogfeed upon, which, if faithfully executed, will
unquestionably produce this patriotic result
such a crisis it requires no words to prove
'be widom of any efiort that will firmly con
solidate the opposition to our common jiolitical
"nemy. It j s simply a question between Re
publicanism and Democracy ; and, as such, it is
• 'Jir.Rjitted with confidence to the calm good
n e of the people of Pennsylvania.
R cannot be denied that the union of the
i Democratic party wili result in a brilliant tci
j urnph in October. O that initial battle all nut
energies must now be concentrated. We have
a (.-ader worthy of our cause. With an enthu
siasm never before equalled in any political as
semulage, H„ liry D . Foster, ol Westmorland, |
j was selected as our standard bearer in that im
portant contest. Ife iiid not seek the nomina
tion. He repeatedly declined being a candi
ilite tor the blfice. When strugg.'ing partisans
met at fG-ading to advance the interests ol tueu
peculiar favorites, he r-.nained in the quiet re
tirement ol his own home, with no th night ol
personal advancement, and anxious nnlv lor the
success. I Democratic principles. The' presen
tation of tiis name to the Convention was met
i by a prompt withdrawal, at tns urgent solicita
tion. Lut when the voice ol the people unani
mously proclaimed him the leader of the parly
! m his native Commonwealth, he did not refuse
to obey the call to duty, yet seeking no prefe,-
raent by anv word or act of his own! The rec
ord of his lile is the record of a Pennsylvania
patriot, in every position he has occupied, he
has obeyed the instincts of his nature in labor
ing for the goo I of those who gave him place
and power. J'he purity of his private charac- :
, ter; the ability which marks every act of his I
: public file; the devotion he has shown to the i
j industrial interests ol Pennsylvania in the nails'
I of our National Congress and State Legislature: '

A. U. STEPHENS UN Tllri STUMP- <
the Hin. A. H. Stephens, of Georgia, has!
already taken the stump for Douglas and Jotin- \ '
son. He made his fust speech at Augusta, on j
'he Ist of September. The telegraph fur- • j
rushes us the following outline of his re- I
marks :
u Mr. Step ens .-aid he appeared reluctantly !
before the people, and only did -a because he i '
could not refuse the invitation of his old con
stituents. The signs of the limes portend evil.
Everything seems tending to national disrup
tional and general anarchy. Whether tins
tendency was to he arrested depended on the
virtue, intelligence and patriotism of th>* peo
ple of all parts of Ihe country in the present
great crisis. He was for D >ug!as and J,,h.ns >n,
the regular nominees. Whether Douglas re
ceived two thirds of the electoral vte or not
according to the usages of the party, he reci iv->,j
■;ie two thirds VI te of the conier,! inn. Th
| two-third rule was adopted upon parliamentary
understanding, such as is provided bv the rnii
stitufion, to pass a law over the veto of the Pre-
S"ient. Any other Construction is impractica-i
.'bit*. Whether Douglas got two hundred and 1
twelve votes as asserted on one side, or one hun- i
fired and fifty-four, as a.'itged on tfie other he '
(Do rolas) receive.) more than a two third 'vote
si'-', seceders left. He (Stephens) suppor- •
led the ticket because the candidates stood upon i
the time honored platform ol non-itifirven- !
'ion, the only principle which can preserve the !
i Union. The objections urged against Douglas j
by the seceders, were that he refused to say that i
it was ihe duty of Congress fo do what "they '■
wool i not do themselves.
; -D)g!as refused to say that it was the duty !
of Congres* to pass law Kt> protect shivery in!
tfie Territories ; hence they oppose him, and re- ;
fuse to vote for such a law themselves. Mr.
Stephens defended Douglas against the charge}
that he would not yield to the decision of the
Supreme Court, and said that Douglas agreed \
with every principle decided in the Ored Scott
case, but also insisted that (be point how fa- a
territorial Legislature might constitutionally j
regulate slavery had not been decided. N > case j
involving this principle had hen t-fore the'
court, fhe position of Douglas is that of per- j
feet equality between Hit* citizens .f afl the
Sta'es vi ith respect to the rights of persons and j
property. Mr. Douglas believed a Terri-j
torial Legislature might, by a system of laws,
virtually exclude slavery. He (Stephens) dif-I
ered with Mr. Douglas on this point, but it wa
a matter of no practical importance because if
the majority of the people of a Tenitoryl
opposed slavery i' would not go there. Me
saw no injury to the South resulting from it.

j He presided on the 19th of last November, at
j a John Brown sympathy meeting, in Boston.
In a speech he made upon the occasion, h
j said :
"IVe are to-night in the presence of a great
and an awful sorrow, which has fallen like a
pall upon many families whose hearts fail, whose
affections are laceiated, and whose hopes ar
crushed —(no sympathy for the wives and chil

"I pause not to consider, because it is wholly i
outside of the duty or the thought of this as
sembly to-night, whether the enterprise of
John Brown and his associates in Virginia, was i
wise or foolish, tight wrong, I only know
that whether tiie ehterplftse itself was one or ]

guage :

A TIPPLER'S STRATAGEM. —Sancrant relates
the following anecd >te of Schwartz, a famous
German painter. Having been engaged to
paint the ceiling ofthe Town Hall of M mich,
by the day. his love of dissipation induced him j
to neglect his work, and the magistrates and ,
1 overseers of the work were frequently obliged;
to hunt him out at die tavern. As he could ;
no longer drink i:i quiet, he sniffed an image ;
of himself, left the 1-gs hanging down between j
■ the staging where he was accustomed to work,!
[ and sent one of his boon companions to move'

GLORT OF "EDICATION."— My Hearers: My
text ain't in Worcestor's Pictorial, no: in Web
ster's big quarto: but ti is in the c ilumns ofth°
'dunkum Flagstaff and Independent Echo.—
"Edication" is the Crownin' Glorv of the Uni
, ted'n States'n.
1 bar an't a feller in all this great and glori
ous Republic but lias studied readin," ritie ' 'iith
rnetic. Thar ain't a youngster so big t! 'it you
couldn't drown him in a spit-box but what has
' read Shakspeare's geography, and knows that
. uli the world is a stage, with two poles, instead
of one like a common stage; and that it keeps
| goin 1 round and round on its own axis, not axin'
| iiothin' o' nobody ; for Edication is the crovv
; nin glory of these United'n States'n.
Hho was it that, durin' th- great and glori
ous Revolution, by his eloquenchequenched the
spirit of Toryism ? An Atneiican citizen.—
ho was it that knocked thunder out of the
clouds, and took a streak of greased light nin' for
I a tail to his kite ? An Arr.erican citiz-n. Who
was it that invented the powder that will kill
| a cockroach, i! you will put a little on his 'ail
j and then tread on him ? An American citizen.
Who was it that discovered the Fat Bov, and
! captured the wild and ferocious "What is it?"
iAn American citizen. Oh ! its a smashin' big
: thing to be an American citizen. King David
wouid have been an American citizen, and the
Queen of Sheba woeld have been naturalized,
if it could have been did ; for "Edication is the
crownin' glory of the United'n States'n."
When you and I shall be no more; when
1 this glorious Union shall have gone to eternal
i smash ; when Baroum shall have secured his
; last curiosity, at a great expense; then will the
i historian dip his pen in a gorgeous bottle of blue
: black ink, and write—"Edication was the
crownin' glory of the United'n States'n."—

Tjp*A country girl whose sisters had mar
j ri"d badly was about to take the noose hei
j self.
"How dare you get married," asked a cousin
| of hers, "after having before you the unfortunate
j example of your sisters
The young girl replied with spirit :
; "I choose to make a trial myself. Did you
! ever see a parcel ol pigs running to a trough of
hot swill ? The firt one sticks in his nc3e,
gets it scalded, and then draws back and squeals.
The second burns his nose and stands squealing
in the same manner. The third follows suit,
; and he squeals too. But still it makes noditl.-r
--ence with those behind. They never take
I warnmg of those before j but all in turn thrust
i.n their t ses, jus! as it they hadn't got burnt or
| squealed at ail. So it is with girls in regard to
| matrimony—and now, cousin, I hope you are
| satisfied."
L*r.ct: MOSQUITOES. — Jo speaking r.f mn?-
quitot s of a large s:z-*, seen by one of the party
in a Southern lake, Lemon, (who was a sea
faring [man many years,) remarked :
"H eil, there, Surinam is the darrdest place
for miskeeters I ever seed. Last time J went
for a load of merlasses, my cousin d:iw rr\e e
bout to a plantation, and "mong other things
on a fnrrr. 1 seed one of the prettiest voke of
cattle I ever laid my eyes on. Neow, (I'm
' teiiin' the tiuth, you needn't laugh,) when I
; came back where them cattle was fust, one ox
i was missin', or there was nolhin' of him Jell
i but skin and bone, any way ; and if you be
| lieve me, I squinted up a tree, aud there was
; the cussedest big miskeeter I ever seed, a pick
in his teeth with one of the horns.'
THE PREFERENCE. —In Massachusetts a black
man, by a recent, special law, can vote alter
one year's residence, while a German or Irish
man, or any other European, must wait two
years after being naturalized, making seven
years in all. Yet Carl Shurz is "stumping"
Pennsylvania for the party which makes this
distinction between the African ana the Ger
man, the negro and the Irishman.
GEORGIA. — The Atlanta (Ga ) Confederacy
says:
"If Mr. Stephens canvasses Georgia, ss we
learn he intends doing thoroughly, the State
will go for Douglas by fifteen thousand majori
ty. If lie only makes two speeches in the State,
it is safe for Douglas by six or eight thousand
majority."
THE election ot Foster is conceded by most
! of the intelligent politicians of our State.
THE Rppobliran* have lost all hope ,>f par
rying New York.
