Stephen A. Diugliis or John C. Breckon
rulo, ai an Eloctor at Largn, and in tho
evont of the success of said Ticket, if the
greater number of votes shall have been
cast for Stephen A. Douglas, then the
vote of tho EliHoral College of tho State
slinll be cast for Stephen A. Douglas ond
llersehell V, Johnson for Prosident and
Vice Presidont. but if for John 0. Brock
cnriilfto, John C. Breckenridgo and Jos.
Lane for tho same offices. If tho vote of
Pennsylvania cannot elect tho candidates
for whom the majority of votes nro casi,
and it can elect anv man running for thi
otlico of President of tho United States,
claiming to be a Democrat, then tho vote
nf the Electoral College shall bo east for
that candidate If il will not elect citlt
or of the Democrats for whom it is cast,
or any of the Domocrnts who aro votoft
for in tho States, then tho votes shall bo
enst for tho candidate 'who has tho majo

the Chairman of this Committee bo in
truded to ohtain from tho gentlemen on
the Democratic Eloctoral ticket of this
State their seveKil and distinct pledges
of acquiescence in the forecoin resolu-

'between the friends of Douglas and the
friends of Breckenridge , so far as to pre
'vent any democrat expressing hisopposit -
ion to the pernicious doctrines of Black
Republicanism. It is in porfect harmony
with that arrangement for a democrat to
r-upport either Breckenridge or Douglas.
i The nlan anl ninnifest obiect was, to se
'cure the whole vote of tho Democratic
'party cf the State for the same set of eleelors.
!in order that tho State might be carried
'fiit Lincoln.and thus the worst calam-
lity that couUl letal the country, averted.

prevent the election ot Jancoin 'vas tne
nnmmount obiect of every Democrat. It
was, therefore emphatically a union or the
formation of a partnership, between the
two wings of the Democratic party the
friends of Breckenridgo and tho friends of
Douglas in ordor that cither the one or
the other of them might be elected, and
thus Lincoln be defeated.
Thij being the case, we respectfully sub
mit to the Democratic editors who acqui
esce in the Crtason arrangement, whether
they oro ndvocating the claims of the one
or the other, that they cease their bitter
ness. Under this arrangement there is
no call for Douglas men abusing Breckin
ridge or those who support him. Nor is
there any call for tho friends of Breckin
ridge or those who support liim to abuse
Douglas or his friends. There is quite an
abundanco to say in favor of both these
distinguished St atesmen, to fill all our
columns from now until tho election. If
not, then let us employ our time and la
bor in the exposition of the dangerous and
destructive doctrines of Black Republican
ism. This is a beautiful field, and much
good may bo the result. If either Doug
las or Breckenridge is elected, it will be a
full Democratic triumph. But if Lincoln
is dotcated it Till be at least half a vietorv
to every Democrat no maltor who is elec
ted.
" Popular Sovereignty."
This is a subject on which a difference
of opinion oxists, being construed to suit
liderent localities. Tho sticklers for
Popular Sovereignty, claim for themselves
tho same rights in tho Territories that
they enjoy in tho State this view is par
tially correct if a man is a Sovereign in
Pennsylvania ; ho is not however the fame
sovereign when ho emigrates in to a Ter
ritory that is, he is i:ot entitled to tho
same sovereign rights there that ho has in
Pennsylvania.
Tho sovereign in Pennsylvania, has
a right to assist by his vote to choosa a
Governor, J udges, and a Legislature, which
haa power to elect United States Senators,
hero ho has n voice in dirocting and sha
ping tho Executivo, Judicial, and Legisla
tive branches of his government; if he
emigrates to Kansas or any other territo
ry of tho United Statos, he has none of
those rights except incidentally in the
Legislative branch having the right to
voto for moiubors of a Territorial Legisla
ture. In a Territory ho is furnished with
his Governor and Judges, ajd has no
right to voto for a Legislature that can elect
two United States Senators, until this ter
ritory has popuiatiou enough to entitle
them to bo admitted as a State Here wo

cently caught the samo fever, and desires
to get up a sensation, by innocently as
king in two successive issues of his paper,
whether "Foster has been found."
For the purpose of satisfying tho curi
ous, and allaying tho anxiety ofoui neigh
bor, wo would say, thai Gen. Foster, haB
never been ; nor is ho lost. He is a man
that never hides himself, nor does he
vauntingly ptrut like a gay Teacock before
the people of our State, saying; folio
citizens, this is I. Your next Governor.
We know he is unlike kis competitor,
with that native modesty accompanying
true greatness ; Henry D. Foster rests on
his past record, not on his present happy
spocches, on his principles : not on his
appearance ; on his tamo as n great con -
servntive Matesman, not on straddling
two platforms, and publishing his own
eminent qualification for office.
When the gallant Col., six feet four;
was sneaking around with a Bible in his
Ilat, secretly swearing men to proscribe
their follow citizons ;"ien. Foster was pub
licly advocating the rights of man, wheth
er native or foreign born.
When the heroic Col., was hunting
Catholics with s broad sword and a dark
lantern ; Gen. Foster was pleading with
the peoplo of Pennsylvania not, lo make
religion a qualification or lost for office.
When eloquent Andy wa3 abusing men
or. account of their birthplace and relig
ion, and talking of tho criminals and pan
pers, shipped upon us by Ireland and
Fmnco ; Gen. Foster .was manfully repii'
dialing this miserable slander, by pointing
to the many prominent names in Ameri
can history ; and calling on his country
men, to look around them at tho thrifty,
hardy, honest, emigrant ; and then forev
er banish tho heresy, thai "birth" had
higher claims on government than ''worth.
No Democrats f our gallant standard bear
er is not lost, nor in ho in danger; and
though the Opposition may not see him
through a "glass dimly," the timo is co
ming when they shall see him as ho is,
and slull like him.
His record is before tho people ; and so
is Andy's tho former as a hightoned
honorablo man a consistent and conser
vative Statesman, tho latter, as a weak
man willing ono year to despiso and abuse
men, for their birth and religion ; and the
next year to cajoloand embrace them for
their votes to make him Governor wile
ling to advocate any principle, or endure
any platform to further his personal van
ity and ambition willing lo betray his
former Vm fricnls ftml 8011 hirase,f to
the Ishniaelites ; because ho believes they
