Profoundly impressed with the importance of prompt, rigorous and patriotic action on the nart of the Democratic State Committee, in or der, to avert, if possible, the. consequences which must , inevitably result from the unhap py division how existing in the ranks of the Democracy in our State and nation, we cor dially and honestly recommend to the Democ racy of the State that they unite with heart and voice in support of bur excellent and com petent nominee for Governor, Henry D. 1 es ter, and that in all the local elections they act as one party, forgiving and forgetting any dit lerencos .that they may have entertained tor the Presidency, but with a view to a perfect unity against the common enemy, we recom mend to the Democracy of Pennsylvania to unite their votes for President on the electoral, ticket formed at Reading on the Ist day ol March, 18011, on the following basis and un derstanding, viz: That if said electoral ticket should be elected by the people, and it should appear, on ascertaining the result in the oth er States of the Union, that by casting the en tire vote of Pennsylvania for Stephen A.Doug- Jas and Herschel V, Johnson, it would elect them. President and Vice President over Messrs. Lincoln and Hamlin, then said elec tors shall bo under obligation. so to cost said vote; if on the other hand it should appear that ,said vote would not elect Messrs. Doug las and Johnson, hut would elect John Breckinridge and Joseph Lane Prcsidcntand | Tice President over Messrs. Lincoln and Ham* Vin, then said vote shall be cast for them; ana in case the united vote of Pennsylvania would not elee.t .eithor of these tickets, then the elec tors "may divide it between them according to their own judgment of what would be the best for the country and the Democratic par ty-r-tne basis'of this united action being that it is tne firs! and highest duty of all Democrats, how .cver &e*imay differ about men and minor; ’pbirits of ipfeeiple or policy, to unite aaqinst a common enemy, and to avert, if possible, the aroatesfc calaroity/that could befal try, thonlection.of a Black Republican Presi dent: and further, the Chairman oftta Com mittee is hereby authorized, tocofrespond with the several Electors in, the “State, and obtam froih each of said Electors hlsymtton, pledge, within thirty days from this date, that he, will faithfully qarry.out tho object of , this rosolu ' turn. .' , 1 >.'■ ■■' '■ ' 1 “ ..

We earnestly recommend its careful pe rusal to every reader of Tho Volunteer. 4Q!f Mil.

The crop is a very heavy one, of excellent quality, and has been gath ered and housed without a drop of rain.— Several parcels of new wheat already been sent to the Philadelphia market. “ Caved.”—A brainless fool, when attempt- ing to follow a calling for which neither God nor man intended him, considers himself hon * oredj at times, in receiving a'ltick those ' little "soul prompts him to bo envious of \rcally wo feel loth thus to honor thegreat moves in and out of the The weather is too hot just \pianure, even with a-pitch- ■ % Decidedly Wrong.-.— lmmediately before every Presidential contest, the Commencement exercises ol Dickinson College partake of a political character. Thus it was in 1852, and 1856, and this" year wd'hKVe' hnd the-same doses administered to us* The President of the United States—a man of seventy years, and whose character for honor and integrity was established before some of the Professors of 1 Dickinson College were born—was sheered at by more than one of the young men who took part in the Commencement exorcises. Mr. Becßanan is himself a graduate of Dickinson College, and he graduated af a period when the institution was worthy tho name of a college. Is it not then in wretched taste, for those con* nested with tho College to thro west injurious insinuations against ihor venerable President of tho United States, ff former patron of , this same institution? Such vindictiveness is un worthy any institution of learning, and those who indulge ih ; this kind of declamation mo such occasions, give evidence that their train ing has been sadly neglected. In tho days of Know-NOthiogism— that scab of political cor ruption which still smells in tho nostrils of the people—nearly half tho speeches delivered during Commencement week, were devoted to tho praise of “Sam;” and now that wo have a President to elect this fall, a number of tho students, and the Selected orator bellow them selves hoarse in praise of Sambo. It is time this Abolition preachingbestopped—time that good manners, at least, be observed during the Commencement exercises. "Wo are sur : prised that Southern students, will, for an hour,, permit themselves to be insulted by the Abolition tirades that 'are belched forth at nearly ovory Commencement. The oration of Mr. Coffey, before the Al umni, on Wednesday evening, was a regular Abolition speech. So fierce and outrageous wore the denunciations of Mr. C., that tho largo audience hissed him to silence once or twice. But, wo will not dwell on this speech, for, no doubt it was written to suit sion, and, according to the opinion of one of the speech-makers; it would bo cruel in us to find fault I ‘ .. : A number of the addresses delivered before the Societies, and on Commencement day, were—considering all , things—creditable ef forts. Several, however, were bad in matter and wretched in ’taste. Mr. Yocum a ver dant youth of some twenty suminqrs—-under took to blackguard the press; In his wise opinion, political editors wore visoidus, and very often actuated by, selfish motives. Ho. considered it a great' outrage for editors to criticise the speeches of, students, particularly if the criticism should happen to bo unfavor able. ' Mr. YocoM is yet young and with little or no experience, and instead of criticising his effort, wo feel more like bestowing pity upon him, for his: speech gave evidence of a want of judgment,. “Npne but a fool will at tack the press,'with any hope of victory ■ were the words of Tom Paine, and every ex perienced scholar will endorse the sentiment, Mr. Yocuu, wo trust, may improve with years, both in knowledge and in manners; and should he ever happen,unfortunately, to appear before the people, begging for their suffrages, he will then most gladly repudiate his attack, upon the press, and will attempt to excuse his 1 indiscretion, upon the plea of youth and in experience.' He will , then , perhaps, J'ccl the pbw;er of the’press. . y , ’ boa Watering Places.— Our city cousins are fast wending their' way to pleasant and j healthy summer resorts.' At the Carlisle Springs there is quite a inumber of Philadelphians .and Baltimoreans, and every day new arrivals are announced.—: The Springs are admirably conducted' V the obliging proprietors, and arc, well worthy the I patronage of those who wish to enjoy the quiet beauties of nature. . ' , ' At Doubllri Gap the company is quite large. This too is q delightful summer resort, and the, proprietors have recently been at great trouble and expense in making extensive im provements. 'lt is a most picturesque and ro mantic spot, and the very place for ease and comfort. ,At Mount Holly all the . public houses are well filled, as ■ they deserve to be. Recently this has become quite a place of resort, and is celebrated as “ a: cool place,” and for good ac commodations. Few counties in the State af ford more delightful summer resorts than Cumberland. - President of Dickinson College. —We learn,, (on the streets, for we never receive any information in reference to the College, frojn any one connected with it,) that at the last meeting of the Board of'Trustees, Professor Johnson was unanimously elected President of Dickinson College, vice Professor Collins, resigned. Mr. Johnson is a ripe scholar, and is.well qualifiodjn every respect, to discharge the duties of the responsible position with cre dit to himself and advantage to those under his instruction., Most sincerely do we wish him success. Douglas' Speeches.— During the Into ses sion of Congress Judge Douglas delivered, in the Senate, five sot speeches. We published all of them except the last one, which was en tirely too long for our columns. This speech, on the subject of “ Non-intervention by Con gress with slavery in the Territories,” is per haps the ablest ever delivered by the “ Little Giant,” and should bo extensively road. Some time ago Judge Douglas sent us a couple hundred of those speeches, a number of which we have still on hand to give to those who may wish to rend his master effort. Call at our office and got them. ■ Pleasant, Re-dnion.— On Wednesday eve ning last, after Mr; Coffey had concluded his Address before the'Associated Alumni of Dickinson College, the former graduates of the Institution met together in the courtroom,- with a few invited friends, to partake of re freshments, and to talk over former times. The company was quite large, many of them elderly gentlemen, who had graduated hero many, many years ago. The company em braced those of nearly every profession and calling; and the meeting was a most interest ing one. Wo don’t know when wo put in an hour in a more pleasant manner. jjjgy The Intest’nbvolty down East is “ Ilee nan Butter,” so called on account of its strength.. Out West they have “Sayers Cheese,” which combines vu'/o-ty strength, toughness and activity. jjgy* Lord Lyons is going, to Canada to re ceive the Prince of Wales.. The Baccalaureate Sermon— Again. In Commenting upon his sermon last week.we did not wish to misrepresent Dr. Collins. Wo objected to his sentiments because wo considered-them illiberal and uncaUcd foiv fliS pointed allusions to those “highin autho rity,” and to the -recent exposures of investi gating committees," convinced all Who heard him that his remarks had .inference to the President and the infamous Covode a tor-cham ber committee. Dr. C. and his friends deny that his denunciations wore intended to apply to one party more' than another, and, assert that his words were spoken in a general sense. We f therefore, gladly accept this explanation, and cheerfully give place to the following communication from one of his numerous friends. In doing so, wo assure Dr. C. tha wo would not, if we could, throw a straw in in his path. Wo wish him success'm his new field of labor, and feel satisfied, that- the people of Memphis, Tcnn., will find in him an, efficient instructor and exemplary man. If ho is only a little more guarded (as wo doubt not he will bo,) When ho next delivers a Baccalaureate sermon, ho will, wo have rea son to believe,, get along swimmingly. But. to his friend’s communication: . Mr. Bratton: I takeitfor granted, that, asan honorable man, you would not, willingly, do Injustice to anyone through your coWs. In the notice, , however, of the Baccalaureate Sermon by Dr. Collins, I think he is not rightly presented to your readers. . He said nothing about Covode Com mittees, nor any thing that was intended, I am well satisfied, to ‘have application to one narty more than another. He was discussing, m the broadest manner, the dangers that be set the pathway of life, in all its ramifications j, and if shy were prompted to make the appli cation to present facts, it was, I, suppose, only because they were freshest in the_ memory; while Dr. Collins, on such an occasion, would ■wish to lay down maxima that would apply to all times and all parties equally. : : The intimation, also, of “Republican pro clivities,” is entirely at odds with the well known nnteoodents of Dr. Collins,; . A Friend to Justice. ■ ; Hot Weather And UEiWU.—What is of most importance in view of the sudden coming ] of intensely; hot feather, says an exchange, is to know how to adapt ourselves to. the change. The rules td guide ns are few and simple—eat prudently, keep the pores of th'o skin open, i£nd. avoid the hot sunshine. A man in really first-rate healfh may expose himself with com parative impunity, and he may Oat imprudent ly, but wo are presuming that the vast major ity of menace not in first or even second-rate health. For such, there is no chance of pas sing through such heat as we have; endured for the past two weeks in health and in com fort without obedience to the regulations we have laid down. The indulgence in a great variety of vegetables and a' surfeit of fruits, oven when fully ripe, must especially be avoi ded. It must be remembered that, mixing food is almost as bad as mixing liquors. In toxication is sure to ensue in the latter case; and indigestion is equally sure in the former. There maybe upon the table !i half dozen dif ferent vegetables, each harmless iuitsolf, but all poisonous when indiscriminately commin gled in the gastrix apparatus. Onb kind of and one variety Of vegetables, partaken I of moderately; will almost ensure good'healtli in hot weather. The meats and the vegeta bles may be changed from day to day not on ly without injury hut with positive advantage. Wo need hardly caution the reader against the too free Use of iced drinks, 1 whether the drink be the purest water or the finest wine. Thirst is provoked by indulgence, curbed, almost quenched by restraint. The excuse of those who drink immoderately is excessive perspira tion, but any one who has tried it knows how a single glass of ice water, of lemonade or of soda, will, start the perspiration in streams 'whore it was scarcely perceptible, before. — What the chemists call the “process of dis placement” occurs—the water poured in the mouth drives out tbo water in the blood ves sels. Intense drink, or what appears to be in -1 tense thirst, may in nine cases out of ton bo relieved by holding cold water in the mouth without swallowing it. To sum up, then, pru dence in diet and drink, a clean skin, no un necessary exposure, and a run to the country occasionally for fresh air, will enable us to bid defiance to hot weather. Summer in the Country. —The bright skies,'green trees, ripening corn, broad mead ows, orchards and gardens, streams and riv ers, the ever-varying and ever-beautiful as pects of the country wear their most inviting I garb at this season of the year; and those who are compelled to dwell in the labyrinths of brick-work, called towns and cities, sigh for the healthy breeze and the bright face of Na ture. Who—at this time of the year, at all events —would not willingly exchange all the pleasures of a town for a quiet hoine in the country. Hot and Pry.— The weather for the last ton days or more, has been unusually hot and dry. On several days, recently, tho.th.ermo moter stood at 90 and 95 in the shade. The ground' is parched, and-as hot as a heated oven. The corn as well as garden vegetables are .suffering for want of rain, and a universal wish is expressed that wo may soon have a “soaker;” ■ ■ Population op Harrisburg.— The census of the city of Harrisburg has been completed, and shows the following result, which the Par triot and Union gives ns accurate: Population of tho First, Second and Third Wards, . Population of the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Wards, Total, Population in 1850, Increase, This shows a gratifying and healthy growth of nearly 100 per cent. A portion of this in crease, however, has been gained by the en largement of the boundaries of the town, when it was incorporated into a city, fiQy Kophart, the murderer of the woman and children in lowa,.was hanged by the mob on the sth inst. The execution was conduct ed with groat deliberation, and was attended by three or four hundred women, who sat mer rily chatting in front of the rude gallows.— At 12 o’clock a messenger arrived at the spot with tho news that the jail had been forced by tho crowd and that tho wretched man was on his way to tho place whore ho was to die. There wore somo remarks made to the throng from tho scaffold, and then-, at 8 o’clock, tho murderer was turned off, and, without trial or confession, was hanged. Will SST AGfflß TO IT. tfc notice that a major# of the papers in this State wtf oppoaed W^tho^co^ premh.ontsupporters. voted ford.cpropos.t.oj adopted. >Ve supported it with the motives, and in the sincere belief that it offered a fair and honorable compromise. If ™woro in error, it was. am error of judgment, for it was then, as itisnow, ourfirm determination to do nothing that will, compromise the just claims of Judge Douglas.' We intend to battle for him to . the extent Of our ability, and in doing so wddesire to move in concert with'his true and devoted friends. ■■ But, what can bp donof—wlmt do those ■who oppose the compromise suggested by t e State Committop, propose? “'Why," say moat of them, “we proposoto vote for Doug las; wo regard him the regular nominee; ive Want no compromise with traitors.” Well, this may do in the Northern States, but- in the South this language will not take. There, notwithstanding Douglas is “the regular nominee,” Breckinridge will be supported by tho majority. We did not , suppose, until recently, that this would be t|ie case, and wo are sorry it Is so, but PCVCrthelcss such is the fact. ‘‘The signs of tho times” cannot bo mistaken, . Under this state affairs, then,, wo repeat, what had better be done? In our opinion, hero in tho North, tho friends of Mr. Breckinridge would best subserve the inter ests of the. party, and at the same time show a praiseworthy, magnanimity, by withdrawing his name, from the contest. If they do this it will leave the battle te be fought by Doug las and, Lincoln. By running two Demo cratic tickets in the non-slaveholding States — a Douglas ticket and . a Breckinridge ticket—it requires to prophet to predict the result. Lincon, in all probability, wifi carry every one of them, moat of. too, by a plurality. ■' Then, Democrats of Penn sylvania, and of tho Northem States, cannot something be done to save the party? .We, believed, and still believe, that the compro mise suggested by the State Committee Was fair and honorable, but- if we are mistaken, let something' else bo suggested. Wo are willing to aid in any compromise, in honor, that will defeat Black Republicanism. Let us pull together, and wo can and will tri umph.: ; lion. Richard Vnux, one of the Elec tors at largo on the Democratic ticket, refuses to pledge himself to the arrangement propos ed by the State Central Committee, as a basis of union for' the Democrats of the State upon' the Electoral ticket now in nomination.. In his reply .to tHo Hon. IV. 11. Welsh, Chairmah of the State Committee, requesting him so to pledge himself, Mr. Vaux says ho thinks the arrangement was made without authority, that it involves a compromise of Domooratiopt'm- Soiplea and usage,' and declares his purpose, if elected, to vole for ; hud the end. It the Democracy of Pennsylvania do not approve hiseotjree/so declared, he 'will 1 cheerfully surrendrfnis position on the Elec toral ticket;‘to the;.
