' ' , l ■ Profoundly impressed with tho importance of prompt, rigorous and patriotic action on the t part of the Democratic State Committee, in or- Ror 'to avert, if possible, the consequences which must inevitably result from the unhap py .division now existing in tho ranks of tho Democracy in pur State and nation, wo cor dially and honestly recommend to tho Democ racy of the State that they unite with heart and voice in support of our excellent and com petent nominee for Governor, Honry D. Fos ter, and that in all the local elections they not as ono party Jbrgiving arid forgetting any dif ferences that they may have entertained for ' the Presidency, hub with a view to a perfect linity-against tho common enemy, we recom mend to tho Democracy of Pennsylvania to Unite their votes for President on tho electoral ticket' formed at Reading on tho Ist day of -, March, 1860, on tho following basis and un derstanding,, viz : That if said electoral ticket should bo elected hy the .people, and it should appear; on ascertaining tho result in tho oth er States, of tho Union, that by casting the en tire vote of Pennsylvania for Stephen A. Doug las and Uorechcl V. Johnson, it would elect thorn ! President and Vioo President, over Messrs- Lincoln and Hamlin, then said elec tors shall bo under obligation so to cast said vote ; if on tho other blind it should appear that said vbtb-would not elect Messrs. Doug las and Johnson, but would elect John C. Brobbiriridgo and Joseph Lane President and Vico President over Messrs, Lincoln and Ham lin, then said vote shall bo cast for them; and in case the united vote of Pennsylvania would not olebt either of these tickets, then the elec tors may divide it between them according to their own judgment of what would ,bo tho host for tho country and tho Democratic party—tho , basis of this united notion being that it is tho first and highest duty of all Democrats; how ever. they may differ about men and minor points of principle or policy, to unite against a.conphon enemy, and to avert, if possible, the greatest calamity that’could hefal tho coun try, the election pf a Black Republican Presi dent; and further, the’Chairman of this Com mittceia hereby authorized to correspond with the'several Electors in. tho Stale, and obtain from each' of baid Electors hie written pledge, within' thirty days from this date, that ho will faithfully carry out tho object of this resolu tion. ; On motion of Mr. Kroidor, of Dauphin, a, resolution was adopted that thirteen members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum.

Hutchinson, J ■ Brigham Young has not boon in Phil adelphia—tho story was n canard, JIo was at Salt Lake, at last accounts, enjoying him self at a big picnic. J duty to our parti. J ’When we placed the names of Douglas and j Johnson at tho-hcad of oui? editorial columns, performed a duty Jo the'Democratic party. dFor pearly half W century ;tliis paper has been the organ of the Democracy of Cum-: borland; and- during all this time it never swerved' from die path of duty. The regular 1 nominee's of the parly have. “^W B ■ rcce r i ' V(?d the zealous support of the Volunteer. What ever others" may think or say, wo fool satisfied in our own mind, that Douglas and Johnson are the regular candidates of the party, an should therefore receive tho vote of every De mocrat, We have , nothing to say, against Messrs. Breckenridoe and Lane as men, but vet it is to bo regretted that they permitted their' names to bo used for disorganizing the Democratic-party. . We respect them both highly,. and therefore fool the .more sorry to see them occupy the position they do at pre sent Wo venture to. say they will yet regret, this step, and will always regard it a most; cn-regions error. Most particularly will this bo tho case’should Mr* Lincoln unfortunately , be elected,' Then, if not . before, will Mr. BRECKENRinoE and Mr. Lane feel the conse quehcos of their folly. „ Why should Judge Douglas be opposed by Democrats ? Who has rendered more essen tial service to the party than he?—who has stood by its mon and its, organization with greater pertinacity f Why then, wp repeat,, can any Democrat. have the heart to strike at Judge Douglas, and through him the Demo cratic party? Those engaged ,in this busi ness will, sooner or later, discover that they committed a great blunder., The regular can didates of the party must he sustained at all hazards. This is, the only way we can pre serve our organization. If wo, eitherthrough disappointment or private pique, .countenance volunteer candidates, i and support them in preference to the regular nominees, wo strike a blow at one of the cardinal principles of our party, and bring disgrace and disaster upon ourselves. • \ •' ■ • Then, Democrats of Cumberland, ’ stand by your regular nominees, Douglas and Johnson —-stand by your principles and your organi zation, and thus: preserve the Democratic ■party in the-North. ■SO mote it be; ‘ ’ The Baccalaureate Sermon. —On' last Sabbath, in the Emory M.' B. Church, the dis tinguished head. of. Dickinson ; College, (Pr., Collins,') delivered himself of what is styled n Baccalaureate sermon. ’• Iti the main, it was well : considered and written, hud barring the occasional straining; after high-wrought ima-, gory, :(tho.onunCiation of which was a strain ioh the speaker’s voice 1 ,) and the ungodly in troduction !of politics’in'a most untruthful way, it was equal to the ordinary , run of such things.. -.ln', introducing Mr. Collins and his sermon to'the notice of our readers, it is only for the .purpose of condemning the 1 Vinous taste that could mingle controverted political slanders with a professedly religious lecture; 'the desecration of the sacred desk, and,God’s holy day, by a Virtual endorsement of the ly- ■ ' ing conclusions of Covode’s infamous star chamber investigation. ■ If the distinguished head of the College (who is about leaving'it,) 1 desired to warn' the young men to,shun the! vices of polltics, he ceuld have made his ap- 1 peal more forcible by saying—“Jly dear young men, whom it is supposed I have trained for life’s trials and burdoiis,' who'are soon to as sume the dutios of citizens of this great and .united country,'shun, oh shun,' any presiden tial hspifant, who like “ Old Abo/’ tho.wood 'ohoppor, log-mauler and rail-splitter, has de based himself by presiding at horse-races and cock-fights.” Such' ad vice would have been wholesome and truthful, and might have gain ed the distinguished head of'the College a character for. Christian zeal and. plainness of I speech, whatever might have boon thought of the taste that could introduce such topics in a sermon. -The character of the Institution has i been damaged enough by the blind political fury of thqsowho have charge of its interests, and it is high time they, should smother opih idns that arc obnoxious to many of its patrons, and give their entire time and attention tp the spiritual and literary, welfare of the students entrusted to their ■ care. They are' not called upon to thrust their political notions on pa tient listeners, who go to church to hear God praised; and not those high in our nation de nounced. If the distinguished head of the College is chuck-full of political denunciation, wo pray him to save the feelings of our citi zens, and when ho reaches Memphis, Tennos- I see, (where wo learn he is going, and which i wo hope ho will reach,) fhcu and there let him ventilate his Black Republican proclivities. , JXbta Bene. —Since writing the above, we understand a committee of the rail-splitters have requested a repetition of the above ef fort, at the “Wigwam,” on Saturday evening. Brother Rhceui will hand around the (fat— a la Lincoln’s lecture in Now York. Dicpinson College—Commencement Week, .—The present being Commencement week, a number of strangers are in our town to fit ness tlio exorcises. Formerly our own citi zens took a lively interest in the College, but of late years they appear indifferent and un concerned. The .fact is, the College is not what it formerly was, and' it will not surprise many hero if, a few years hence, it is “ num bered with the things that wore.” • President Collins no doubt sees this, and ho has there fore resigned the position ho has so long fill ed. Whether any qualified teacher can bo got to take his place remains to bo seen. Burglary. —The store of Mr. Denlingor, at White Hall, this county, was entered by some burglars on Saturday night, and robbed of about thirty dollars worth of Goods. No clue has boon obtained that will lead to tho detec tion of tho robbers. IC7” Our farmers are now busily engaged in harvesting their crops of wheat and rye, and if tho weather continues favorablo during, tho present week the principal part of it will bo housed.. Tho crop throughout tho county is an abundant one, and the quality is said to bo excellent. BQp-lovi L. Tate, of tho Columbia Demo crat, has put up a ticket of his own.. It is John C. Breckinridge for President,. and Charles B. Buck'alow for Vice President. jOQyFbur Democratic papers in Virginia are named that will support Douglas. One of them is the Lexington Valley Star, tho homo organ of Gov. Letcher, tho present chief mag istrate of tho State. - TAB ACTIOS OF THE STATE COMMITTEE. Wo place ht the head of our leading column the proposition adopted with so much unan imity. by the Into mooting of , our Stnto Com mittee: Wo intend to keep it there Until the ■questions toVliioh.it addresser itself, nre.se* Hod by tHd suffrages of the nation, .. Wo were present at the meeting of th_e, Qommittebr and white there was a contrariety of opinions as to the best course for and those opin ions were enforced with earnestness, yet through them all ran the spirit of Democratic, brotherhood and the univorsal dcsire to do any thing, in honor, to rescue the'country from its «impending crisis.” , Of the various proposi-. tions submitted and voted down, wo do not deem it our duty to speak. Wo forget them all, in the adoption of the one at the head of by a vote of forty-five yeaS.to fifteen nays): 'While abiding firmly in liib belief that Douglas and. JpjissoN- are, the,nominees of ;thp regular; Democratic fional Convention, wo.heartily endorse the action of the ftiithorized power in tlio’ Shite, and'will henppforth, ; te.the utmost of;pur aljil ity, b Vtte, for the:success of our Electoral, Ticket. upon the basis laid down. • -Wo •• do this, 'as the best bond of united action; dgaihst an unscrupulous and bitter sectional organi zation.

Take uj>- their slanderous sheets, look over cpbimn after column, and you will find them loaded with artiplos deprecating the action pur Committee, and predicting th'p-most dis astrous results.' The .Herald of last week,- contained ho. less than eight articles; devoted to tho troubles: in the Democratio.party—they rejoice in them and predict what they desire ; to happen, but which the action of our Com mittoe; in their wisdom, avoids.. They know tiieir only hope is in our distraction,- and hence ’ their desire to open our now closed wpunds ' and make them bleed afresh.. But wo say to the quaking opposition,'as they stand outside of the government organization, shivering in the cold and struggling to got in, that 1 the same power that ■guarded; the treasury; from .wholesale pension robbery, and the pub lic lauds from .indiscriminate: pluhder—that stood on the ramparts of the: Constitution do-1 fying the encroachment of the legislative, on-j the executive prerogative, ifnd jealously guard ed % rights of the States and the union of the Stoics—that power is still alive, united and throbbing with the heart beats of a com mon object—-the utter annihilation of the spe tioharßlackKcpublioon parly.: We believe tho action of our State. Committee secures this object—that wo rise from the earth like the giants of old, refreshed and strengthened from tho contact —that wo arc going into tho con test to elect the gallant Foster, and a majori ty of tho Legislature, which secures n United States Senator—that wo will triumph, in buf Ticket, and thus have the power to defeat Lincoln— that our good old Common-. [ wealth, the battle-field of bur country’s crisis, will prove true to her consecrated memories, while her soils, burning with the love of lib erty regulated by law, will blunt the points of Northern pikes and quench the fires of South ern salamanders. - The Philadelphia Daily News has run up thp flag of Lincoln and Hamlin, Tho ed itor .concludes a long article on the subject as follows: “We do not enter this contest as “Repub licans,’’but asi a member of the People’s par ty, in that spirit of compromise which procur : cd and promoted its organization, and as such, wo ask every man who desires a return to that purity which characterized the Administra tion cf the Government under Mr. .Fillmore, to, join' hands with us, and aid in sweeping from power the most corrupted sot.of Vandals which over yet disgraced tho Government. Carlisle Herald. Fine talk, this—another effort to humbug the Fillmore men. In n repent letter to a friend, Millard Fillmore, in answer to a statement that he was for Lincoln and Ham lin, denounced their principles and sectional, ism, and declared 'Tie would vote for Bell and Ev erett if no other man in the country did.’ Put that in your pipes, Messrs. Pouter and O’- Flanigan. ' . ' Assault upon the Editor of tub 'Wash ington Union. —A letter from Washington, dated July 7, says The Constitution nows, paper office warf the scene of n personal con flict this morning between two Pennsylvania politicians, Mr, Ellis B. Sohnahle and General Bowman. Mr.' Sohnahle entered the office and assaulted the General’with a stick. Mr. Bowman was sitting in a chair jjt the time. One of "the clerks effectively came to the res cue, when Mr. Shnablo made a hasty retreat. Immediate measures were taken for his ar rest. The reason for the assault was an article published in the Constitution of yesterday, re flecting upon Mr. Sohnablo’s conduct. ■ O’ The friends of Sam Houston in Texas are determined that ho shall remain on the track as the People’s candidate for the Presi dency.
