made the Keystone State the field of their
active and enorgotio exertions. On our
soil the battle is to be fought, and with
our pcopls the victory or defeat must be
accomplished
In this emergency, the State Committee
actuated by reeling, of patriotism, and
prompted only by a wish to secure tho
triumph of tho "ood old cause," endeav
ored to agree upon a course of action that
would enable the Democratic masses to u
nite upon one Electoral ticket, and thus
nurrait them to hiuIca a nnmmnn
against the candidates of the Republican
nartv. After munh fluliliomfion n nlm
of union was agreed upon, which if .faiths
fully executed, will unquestionably pro
duce this patriotic resu It. In such a cri
sis it requires no words to prove the wis
dom of any effort that will firmly consoli
date the opposition to our common poll Li
cal enemy. It is simply a question be

and, as such, it is committed with confi
dence to tne caim good sense or tbe peo
ple of Pennsylvania.
It cannot be denied that the union of
the Democratic party will result in a bril
liant triumph in October. On that initial
battle all our energies must now ha nnn.
centrated. We have a leader worthy of
our cause. With an enthusiasm never
before equalled in any political assemblage
Henry D. Foster, of Westmoreland, was
selected as our standard bearer in that
important contest. Ho did not seek the
nomination. He repeatedly doclined be
ing a candidate for office. When strug
gling partisans met at Heading to ad
vance the interests of their peculiar favor
ite, he remaiucd in the retirement of hia
own home, with no thought of personal
advancement, and anxious only for tho
success of Democratio principles. The
presentation of Lis name to the Conven
tion was met t.y a prompt withdrawal
at his urgent solicitation. Jiut when the
voice of the people unaiiniously proclaim

Both of these schools of politics aim at

that is untried and visionary. They
would demolish Capitals and raise on

pun down citadels and erect over their

would destroy constitutions and Govern

vagaries and their crude, undigested and
untried theories.
As if there were not enough Americans
in America, skilled in the arts of the ora

logician, this incendiary emissary, of
foreign birth and foreign sympathies, is
started by the Abolitionists on a stumping

Mr. Cary groaned. It was evident he

"CtDsar, all gifts are froraGodT He has
doubtless some motive in releasing you
from a cruel task-master."
"Nebber heard any nigger, black or
white, call my ole mossa cruel task-mass

Mr. Cary a little testily.

The Texas Fright
From the N. 0. Picayune.
The late acta of incendiarism In Texas,
and the evidence which gains credit there
of more diabolical designs, have create.!
an excitement in that Stnte which it is
not possible for those at a distance fully
to estimate. With tho full conviction pre
vailing in many counties that tlieconfia
rations which have destroyed so many
flourishing towns are but th firaf r,art nr..
deep conspiracy, whoso inaligiiunt object
is the desolation of the country, no won
der need be expressed at the suspicion
that exists toward strangers that are found
among them, and the readiness of the
people to rid themselves of all who can
not establish their honesty of purpose.
But this state of public feeling may lead
to an exaggeration of facts to the exalta
tion of suspicions to the dignity of proof
and harrossing inquisition, if not absolute
danger, to honest strangers, and to the
perpetration of acta of cruel injustice.

"We have seen a note, written from
near Danville, by Col. Dunn's overseer,
to his son. Charles Dunn, which said that
a negro boy, Allen, formerly belonging

and was to have been hung yeaterday."
