ALE. COMING OUT!
Ata Republican meeting, George\>wn, Mass.
the following song, entitled "Tbe Quakers are
Out," written by John G. Whittior, was re
ceived with eclat:
Not vainly we waited and counted the hours,
The buds of our hope have burst out into dowers;
No room lor misgiving—no loop-hole of doubt—
We?ve heard iroui the Keystone! The Quakers are
out.
Tbe plot has exploded—we've found out the trick;
The bribe goes a begving; the "fusion" won't stick;
When the Wide Awake ianter.is are shining about,
The rogues stay at home, and the true men come
out 1
Tbe good State has broken tbe cords for ber spun;
Her oil springs and water won't fuse into one; * i
The Dutchmen ba seasoned with Freedom his krout;
And slow, late, but certain, the Quakers are out!
Give the flags to the winds!— set the hills all aflame;
Make way for the man with the Patriarch's name!
Away with misgivings—away with all douht.
tor Lincoln goes in when the Quakers come out!
From Forney's Press.
W here Do We Stand to-day 1
It ntfter was a difficult thing for any Demo*
orat to answer this question, bat there i>
hardly one iu Pennsylvania wbo oan answer it
with certainty to-day. %
Every true hearted of tbo party
knows where be would like td%atnd yo ibe
coming contest, but. Laving surreudWed the
orpauixation into the hands of unfaithful and
unwise leaders, matter- have become so 'mixed
up,' as they say clown East, that uo one now
knows what to do.
The 'Reading Electoral Ticket,' for exam
ple, is the work of a reg lar Democratic Con
vention, and, if presenteu to tbe party in the
usual way, would have received the usual vote;
but under tbe quackery of these 'Welshmen,'
it has become obnoxious to both wings of tbe
party, and, Swtwecß the two stools, will in all
probability fall to tbe ground.
Their manipulation has elicited—perhaps
created—tbe fact, unknown and unsuspected
uutil then, that the electors were not a unit;
that tbev were divided, on principle and on
men; aud that, while a portion of tbeiu were
fsvor of and MM intervention^
another portion were in favor of Breckinridge
and ciavery protection.
Anc now, although this tneddiing and most
impudent committee have Lacked square down
from their position, have rescinded all the-r
obnoxious propositions, and have done what
they could to restore the ticket to the position
it occupied on the day after the Heading Con
vention adjourned, aud thus apparently remo
ved tbo objection which compelled tl.e frieods
of the regular nominees and the regular DOUJl
nees and the regular platform to term 'heir
'straight out ticket.* yet ibey cannot wipe out
the fact that the ticket is not a unit, and that,
therefore, no man who would have his vote es
tablish a priucipla can vote for it.
in hts late address, Mr. Welsh is very ear
nest in his sppeal to the 'whole party 1 to unite
on this ticket, and so far as ho urges it for the
purpose of preserving the party organization,
thero is force in what be says, when addressed
to mere party men. Bet others, wbo prefer
'principles* to the 'organization, 1 reply: 'Sir,
the organization of the party iu the State aud
nation is poisoned beyond all recovery ! and
tbo soouer it is 'smashed to smithereens,' the
better for all who love it; but at home, where
it is pure, io our couuues, our wards, and our
townships, where the virus is unknown, there
we will preserve the nucleus of an organiza
tion that will soot] reform the party on its old
true, bouest and impregnable basis.'
The address uUo tells us of other good which
a 'heavy vote' for tnis ticket wouid ehect: lt
would show the South bvw many true friends
they have in the Northern and middle States.'
Noticing, as 1. pass, the fact that, if the
South had only clang io good faith to their true
friends in the Northern, Western and Middle
States, the Republican party would have no
such power as it cow ha*, I would inquire of
these 'Welshmen,' which portion of the South
would it cuoourage? If they mean those true
hearted, Union-loving conservative meu of the
South, who are battling so bravely for nonin
terventwn, for the 'right of the people to gov
ern themselves.' aud who have ever clung to
their true friends with 'hooks of steel, I an
swer, wo are with you there. The election of
some twelve or fifteen of these electors would
encourage them just as tnuoh as the election
of tbo others would disgrace them.
If tbey mean, however, that portion of the
South who have placed in nomination J. 0.
Breckinridge, on bis intervention and slavery
protection platform, I reply that the democracy
of Pennsylvania docs not desire to encourago
suob people, or give them any hope of aid or
oomfort here. And if they did, they would
hardly attempt it by elooting twelvo or fifteen
men who are opposed to their measures and
their candidates.
The great error of the 'Welshmen' consists
in a belief io their own cunning, and the dull
ness of the rank nod file.
When they sought to secure the suooess of
this ticket by their Philadelphia and Uressoo
resolutions, tbey assumed an appearaooe of
fairness towards both wings of the party, while
the real object iu view was to secure as many
votes as they could for Breckinridge io Penn
sylvania, to be added to his expected rote in
the South. Are they so ignorant as to snp
poso that we do not see that tbey have the
tame end still in view, evtn though they have
withdrawn their compromise resolutions, the j
electors being ail aotnmitted, tud their prefer
ences known?
Why will tboy persist in following this crook
ed path, wbt.i a plain aDd bones: course would
insure '.bat unanimity for wliob they seem so
®*ger, and which aH true Dcmoorata desire to
see? Why sail into so serious a fight under a
false or unocitain flag? Let the electors treat
?he people fairly ic this matter. Let them
publish an address or pledge setting forth that
they are bound by the principles of the Head
ing platform; that they are in favor of the
dootriues of <uou intervention' and popular
eevereigoty; that they will cast their rotes for
no man who is opposed to these Democratic
dootrincs, but for some one who is pledged to
Aarry them out, and the divided masses of the
party will rush tognther iu support of this tick
et. This may save tbe State; this will uoite
the party. But to ask us tc vote for an elect
oral ticket so inharmonious as this, is to ask us
to make fools of ourselves; to pursue a mere
shadow; to fight when we have neither men or
measures to fight for. IT WILL NOT BE DONE!
Unless the party oan be made to rally around
the principle which carried them through the
campaign of '56, the majority of Liuoolu will
more than double that of Onrtio. Will the
•lectors think of this, or will thoy still be the
puppets of this Welsh Committee hereafter ?
W.
A LITTLE FUSION.'
Committee met at Philadelphia last week, and
withdrew the "straight" Douglas Electoral
ticket, whioh they pat ia Domination, with a
Si orish of trumpets during tbe summer, re*
solving at tbe same time to support tbe ticket
originally ruminated at Reading, half made
up of Brockiuriilgoites. There was uo small
diversity of opiuioo among them as to whether
this was a backdown ou their part, or not.—
Some insisted that the Welsh Committee had
surrendered by :hc .epeai of their Philadelphia
and Cresson arrangements, and falling back
upon tbe Heading ticket pure and simple
Others contended that the Resdiog electors
not having pledged— most of them baviug re
fused to pledge themselves to vote tor Doug
las and Johnson—claimed to be the regular
nominees of "the national Dcmooratio party,"
and a large, if oot the larger number of them,
beicg kuowa friends of Breckinridge, it was a
surrender of the position taken by the 'straight'
friends of Douglas to now withdraw their
and support that formed at Heading.—
One reason assigned by those who engineered
this action of tbe Douglas Committee—and,
uo doubt, the influential one with them—for
the course which they pursued, was that a
great many of tbe professed friends of Doug,
las would not support tbe "straight" ticket,
and that, tbereforo, the vote for it would be
small, and his euemies would point to that as
tbe extent ot bis popularity iu Pecnsylvauia.'
As, however, Judge Douglas has himself in-'
variably spurued all suggestions of tusion with
the Breckinridge taction, as totally inadmissi- *
ble on tbe ground of principle, those who |
preleuded to support biui and yet give their j
votes to the opposite faction iu whole or in i
part, degrade the difference between them from :
the higo ground of antagonistic principles on ■
wb.oh Judge Douglas places it, to a mere
question of prcicrenoe between men and con
troversy about ascendency in tho party. —
Every fusion made in a Northern Bute oan
oouduoe only to the benefit of Breckinridge,
because it teuds to make bim,-wbo is the can
didate of tbe South, second on tbe return, and
to give him a chance—if Lincoln could be
detected before the people, which is beyond
tho bound of any probability—of get
ting Lefore the House at Washington, while
it utterly destroys all Judge Douglas' prospects
even of reaching so far.
We are by no means sorry that this fusion
has been accomplished. It gives some show
of substance to the opposition agaiuet Linoolu
—something for our friends to see a: d feel
as pressing against them, lo the totally dis
integrated state of the three oppugnant
tactions which previously prevailed, there was
such an utter imbecility that wo feared our
t'rienda could not be induced to believe that
(here was any occasion to go to the Presi- ,
deatiai Election at all. They had nothing to ,
kick against, and "it wrenches oue terribly to
kick at nothing." Now they have at least a
figure against them, and they will sea the "
necessity of vutiog. What has become of the
third element of the Foster fusion, we have
not heard. The bells have ceased to toll, and
while their select Committee danced attendance
upon both tbe Wehh aud Rouinfoit Commit
tees, we do not learn that they received any
countenance or consideration at ell. Tbe best
thiug those of them who are not sick of tbe
sell at the October Election can do, is to vote
the Beading Ticket also: it reqires no greater
sacrifice of principle tbau it did to support
Foster. True, this little fusion is a failure—
ieal friends of Judge Douglas tefuse to accede 1
to it, and will go "straight" for Lincoln—
Breckinridge men are profane euough to swear
that they will strike the name of every sup- |
porter of Douglas from tbe ticket and it is 1 |
"a'a muddle." Still it is the best thing they j
could do.— Lancaster Union. i i

Naval offioer wishing to cross from Staten
Island to Bergen, could fiud no poison willing
to undertake the job save a bare-footed boy,

vowed him to the place of destination. Tbe

The Straight Douglas Ticket.
We reoeive letters from all parte of tbe State
protesting ag&inst the withdrawal of the straight
Douglas electoral ticket. Man; of these let
ters are sigoed bj Democrats who have figured
m the fore front of the party for years. As a
speecimeu of the feeliog that animates the
masses of the Democracy in one of the heavie.it
Democratic counties of the State, we direct onr
readers to the communication Nigned "W.," in
the Press of this morning.
Another Democrat writes from Erie as fol
lows:
ERIK, OAT. 20, 1860.
I see by a telegraph in to-day's Buffalo Ex
press that 'the Douglas State Central Commit
tee have withdrawn the straight ticket, aud
pledged themselves to the Jleadiog electoral
ticket.' Is this so? Must the Democracy be
pushed to a choice between (ho two interven
tions* 1 had ncpod fervently that the poor
privilege of at least votiog upon priooiple,
though with but a forlorn hope of succeess,
would be left to the adherents to Democratic
principles. If the oboice, however, is unavoid
ably, the old 'priviso' doctrine, with either a
white or black garb, I, for one, shall prefer the
white, and stand by free institutions. If 1
must be sectional, 1 will not turn my back upon
my own section.
And still another addresses us from Easton,
in terms of manly indignation, insisting that
the straight Douglas ticket should at once be
put in tbe field, in order to allow honest Dem.
oorats a chance to express their seutiments.—
We think it right to repriut the following cor
rected copy of tbe straight Douglas ticket, put
iu nomination by tbe same committee which has
uow formally withdrawn it, for tbe benefit of
those who desire to have it printed and voted
iu their respective election distiiots:

Address to the People of Peuus'a,
Pennsylvania has spoken in thunder tunes in
behalf of the Union, of her industry, of free
dom. Her people have met the combined hosts
of sectionalism, uieunionistn, free trade, and
nil others who sought markets for their suf
frages; and a majority of 32,000 for Governor,
twenty Congressmen, and more than two-thirds
of each branch of the Legislature, attest tbe
fidelity of our State to the integrity of our in
stitutions, and to tbe common prosperity of our
country.
Indiana and Ohio have joined the Keystone
State in demanding that sectional discord,
wanton profligacy, and tbe desolation of free
trade, shall cease to be tbe policy of the national
government.
Tbe decisive battle has been fought—a nation
has been redeimed from d'suuion and dishonor
by the verdic.of Tuesday last. The issue was
made by our tdes and accepted by our friends,
and millions to-day greet the triumph as the
unerring harbinger of our national diseathral
rnent.
Let the friends of right not be content with
an ordinary victory— Abraham Lincoln can be
called to the Presidency by a clear majority of
the people of the United Slates, if all who shall
rejoice at his coming wilt but cast thetr suffrages
for him. To that majority, Pennsylvania can
and will contribute full fifty thousand. We
Lave but to be faithful to our great cause, an.'
it is done. Let every man be at his post on tbe
great day, aud the largest majority ever giveu
by Pennsylvania to a Chief Magistrate will be
east on the Gtb of November, for Abraham
Liocolo, for Union, for Freedom, for Fi-uernity!

Carl Schurz'e Springfield speech, which the op
position papers are circulating with much gnato,
is traced back to the Harrisburg, Pa., State
Sentinel. The more respectable of the jour
nals that eopied it, are heartily ashamed of their
share in the tnean business and attempt to shove
off the responsibility as far as possible."

SHAKSPXAKK ON TUB PKNN'A. ELECTION.—
It is said that you can find a quotation io
Shakspeare to suit any event, and Mr. lioamer,
of Toledo, oitea the following to abow that he
bad the late Pennsylvania election in bia eye :
'•We have tbo heart's blood of the
House of Lancaster
Who else than Buchanan was intended by
the demand,
"James of Lancaster, resign thy orown !
Thou bast deoeived me—"
—And,
"Here behold the pale ashes of the House of
Lancaster."
Aud then, inimitable Sir John Falstaff, in
the fullness of bis heart, exelaima—
"Buck ! Buok ! 1 would J could wash myself
of 100 Buck ! n
Arid of the Douglas, what, thio this moment,
did the great bard point to, wheu he exclaim
ed,
"Douglas is discomfited !"
—Or when he made Douglas say,
"1 aui the Douglas fatal to all those
That wear those colors oo them."
Again—
"Mother! mother! mother! Oh, my dear
- mother !
Do I see you I"
Our Hannibal was doubtless intended, in
those lines put in the mouth of bis enemies :
"Hannibal drives back our troops,
And conquers as he lists."
OUR TURN MUST COME. —"Generation after
generation," says a fine writer, "have felt, ae
we feci, and their lives were as aetiva as our
own. They passed like u vapor, while Nature
wore t.'ia same of beauty as when her Creator
commanded her to be. The heavens shall be
as bright over our graves as they now are
around our paths. The world will have the
same attractions for our offspring yet unborn,
that she bad once for us as children. Yet a
little while and all will have happened. The
throbbing heart will be stifled, and we abaJl be
at rest. Our funeral will find its way, and
prayers will be said, and then wo shall be left
alone in silence and darkness for the worms*
And it may be for a short time we shall bo
spoken of, but the things of life will cieep in,
and our names will soon be forgotten. Days
will continue to mote on, and laughter and
song will be beard in tbe room in which we
died ; and the eye that mourned for us will be
dried, and glisteu again with joy ; and even
our ohilaren will cease to think of, and will
not remember to lisp our names."

it, like a sunny iaudscapo ; the morbid mind

It is the mirror, in short, on whish it is caught,
which lends to the face of nature the aspect of
its own turbulence or tranquility.
