The Strait out Douglas ticket with

Tho regular Democratic State Central
Committee met on tho 12th ir.st, at Read
ing and rescinded all formeraetion had by
them in regard to tho electoral ticket,
and recommended that tho Democracy
should unite upon the regular ticket form
ed at Reading in March last, and we are
now pleased k announce that the Roum
fort Committee otherwise called the strait
Douglas Committee, met in Thiladclphia
on Thursday last, and have withdrawn
the strait Douglas ticket, and recommen
ded the friends of J udge Douglas to concur
in the recommendation of the regular
Committee and support the Reading Elec
toral ticket, aud thus we have the Demoi
cratic party united, upon a single clocto.
ral ticket. Wo do not intend now to dis
cuss the reasons assigned by tho Roum
fort Committee for its recent action, such
discussion could 1 o productive of no good,
that action itself, without the reasons as
Bigned, is suflicient for us, and we do not
hesitate to say, it is the most sensible as
well as the most patriotic thing 'he Roum
fort Committee has ever done. With unii
ted vigorous action wc may succeed, and
and if we must fall, there is a bright fu
ture for a compact and powerful minority.
We do not by sny means abandon our
hopes of success, there are abundant
grounds for hope of victory in November
next.
It was alleged before the October election
that Gen Foster could not obtain moro
than from ono-fourth to one-third of the
Bell vote, such has been the result ; whilst
there were but about 10,000 Bell and Ev
erett votes jcost lor Gen Foster, they clai
med to have 50,000 in the State ; if this be
true, and thore bo now cast for their own
ticket, the vote for Mr. Lincoln will be 40,
000 less thon that received by Col Cur
tin. All will remember that Mayor Henry of
Philadelphia, tho most influential Bell and
Everett man in the State, sustained Col
Curtin with all his power, influence, and
patronage, whilst norv his whole energy
is devoted to the Bell ticket.
This is aa cxamplo of tho condition of
nfiairs in the City of Philadelphia, und we
find the same fact to exist in other parts
of the State, in our own vicinity, gentle-
man of influence who were active for Col
Curtin aro now warm supporters of Bell
and Everett. An analysis of tho vote for
Governor, demonstrates that in certain lo-J
cahties many of the more rabid Douglas
men, fearing Hint the election of Foster
would aid Breckinridge, have voted for
Curtin, wo cannot doubt that nil these.
under thn rornnt. nntinn nf ilnui. rnmm;i

to that extent swell tho Democratic vote.
With these to aid us now, it only re-!
mains for us to do our utmost to get out
the cntiro voto of the Democracy on tho
Cth of November, nnd to this work all
true friends of the party should devote
themselves with uncefthing activity. Let
every Democrat exert himself for nn uni
ted democracy ana tho Reading ticket.

We giv tho resolution rs passed by tho
Roumfot Committee as follows : . n
YiavUul, That we deem it proper under
existing circumstances, for tho harmony
of the Democratic party of Pennsylvania,
to recommended to tho united liemocr-
cy of the Stale the electoral ticket as it
was originally formed at Reading in
March last now wholly freo from ques
tionable pledges and committals.
Thus tho Democracy are once- more a
united pr(, and cuu go into the contest
in November next with some show of
strength, and a fair hope of victory,
ad this plan been ad opted two o" three
months ago, instead of trailing in the dust,
our banner would now be crowned with a
glorious victory.
No manjwho desires tho defeat of Lin-1
coin, can Lesitato a moment to cast his
vole for tho Reading ticket. It is compo.
sed of 27 Democrats, selected from their
respective Congressional districts. They
nro all men of character, nnd of intelli
gence, and if elected, will so discharge
their important trusts as will bo entirely
satisfactory to ever) man who dreads the
triumph of abolitionism. It is understood
that these 27 men arc about equally, divi
de!, in their personal prfcrenco between
Douglas and Breckinridgo, but should
they be elected, wo aro perfectly willing
to trust them to vote, as a unit, either for
Mr Douglas or for Breckinridge, if by
voting they can elect eithor, or even, if
the)' can defeat Lincoln, ami prevent the
election from going into the House, weare
willing tluy shall vote for Mr. Bell, upon
this platform in tho present highly
perilous condition of our buloved country,
we think every man who dosire thee'e
teat of the Black Republicans can stand.
We believe that both wings of the party
will sanction this action of their respec
tive Committed, with great cordiality,
nnd that of vigorous effort will be made
to carry tho State in November. There
are enough friends of tho Union and tho
Constitution in Pennsylvania, to do this
if they will only unite their efforts nnd pull
together. Shall this bo done? Or will
we quietly permit the triumph of the on
eirics of the Constitution. It is lor the
people to decide
The late Election.
Tho late election bIiows some strange
voting in severtvl of tho counties every

indeed a good omen tor the Democracy
in the future.
We have under adverse circumstances
gallantly, "met tho enemy," and we
are t h e i r s , but this is only for a
short time, we will "picK our flints and
fire again."
Tho Democracy have gained three
members of Congress in this State T. B.
Cooper in tho 7th district, S. K. Ancona
in the 8th (Nerks) district, and Joseph
Bailey in tho IGth district. With the
gains in Ohio nnd Iowa tho Democrats,
land south Americnns will have a majority

the country that branch of the general
government in which tho "Irrepressibles"

Probably Hie Black Republican party
w ill decide that the above is u protective
tariff vole. This will not mister, how
ever, 9 not loss than seven so-called
Southern Loco Foco Free Traders voted for
the samo resolution, together with a num
ber of other Democrats "Yes, say s tin op
ponent, "when Mr Hamlin voted and
spoko against tho tariff ho was a Demo
crat, but he has left tho Democrats nnd is
now a protective tariff man" Let us ex..
amino this matter, Mr Hamlin left tho
Democratic party on tho 12th of June,
1855, according to his own declarations,
but not ono word did he say that he differ
ed with the Democratic party on tho tar
iff question. Tho nogio was first with
hin He hud a moe exalted opinion of
the negro than the Democratic party has ;
and the truth is, that whilo he professed
to bo a Democrat he could not conceal his
sympathies for the negro He ostecnied
tho colored population to such ft degree
that ho fir.ullv beenme estranped from
the Democratic party and joined the Blac k
Republican, whoso feelings ate ull in that
direction. That is the only reason w hy
Mr Hamlin left the Democratic party If
ho has changed his opinions on Uhj tariff
question, why did ho not express himself
to that effect? From the 31st January to
tho 13th February, I85'J, during tho dis
cussion of Mr. Bigler's tarili resolution, re
mained as silent us death. He was per
fectly mum on tho tariff question, nnd we
hnve, thcrfore, a right to conclude that he
did not think it of much importance.
And yet wo are told, "O, yes! Hois
a protective tariff man 1" Tho 17 Senn
tors who took part in the discussions on
t hat occasion, desired tlio community to
know their sentiments ontho tariff. Not
so, however, with Mr Hamlin. And yet
he is the candidate of tlieso calleu protcc-
'tivo tariff men. Out upon such humbug

Horrors of the Druse Massacre.
May God grant I may never again see
such a sight as I wituessed threo days ago
Deirel-Knmai'! and such would be the
prayer of any man who bus beon in that
town since the massacre. Although tho
place was under tho special government
of the Sultan, no effort has beon made
to bury thedoad, cvon at this date of two
months and a half after tho tradgedy.
What has been done to hasten the disap
pearance of human bodies has bocn effect
ed by the dog", and wolves, and jackals of
the surrounding districts. It was a fear
ful scene. Hero stood, ninety da;-g ago, a
thrivina town of 8,000 souls and upwards,
and when the troubles in Lebanon broke
out, nearly two thousand Christians soug't
refuge here.' Where are now those iaing
esofGod? Where nro tho comfortable
homes, the thriving trades, the rich silk
crops, the produco of grapes and of olives,
the hundreds of working silk looms that
this population employed? Where aro
the wives and daughters of theso traders
and landowners ; where tho happy chil
dren, tho hoarty welcome which all stran
gers received, the wealth in dress nnd jo
wcla with which tho matrons were adorn
ed?
The men of tho plnce ay, and some of
the women too, for I counted no less than
a doon in one spot the men aro here,
those corrupting masses of putrid skulls
are nil that remain of them ; their ho:ne
nre all burnt or pulled down ; their prop
erty all plundered or destroyed j their
women beggars in tho streets of Beirut ;
their male children hackod to pieces by
the knives of th Druses. Amongst so
many horrors it was difficult to select ono
placo more fearful than another, but tho
Maronite church and the Turkish ( lover
nors divan, or roceiving room, exceeded
all I could hnve believed possi'. lo. Tho
former is surrounded by a court yard, the
door of which was shut. When we open

Exchange.
The Fair.
Accrrding to notice, our first Agricultu
ral fair was held in this county on last
week, tho IGth, 17th, nnd 13th iusts.
The firet day wo had excellent weathor,
but tho balance of tho time was very disa
greeable indeed.
On Wednesday it is estimated that
their were 5000 persons upon the ground,
and we ore certa'n, if it had bocn a politi
cal gathering, it would have answo.-ed to
say that 10,000 persons wore present.
Groat praise is duo to tho officers of the
society, who have laborod in season and
out of season, to discharge their respective
duties. IV o had frequently heard it said
by persons that tho fair would prove a fiz
zle ; hence (he diligence and labor of the
Society notwithstanding their vhole
heart wus enlisted in tho success of
the Society, and this prejudice which hnd
gained some ground had to ic over come ;
and most nobly fiid tiiey over conn all
obstacles that appeared in tho way, n
greater success never crowneii,. tho efforts
of any set of men,
.Tho "Rubicon" is passed ; the "Clear
r:ti) countv AfiRiciuTR.w, Society, " is nn
established fact a complete success, and

nnd permanent establishment of an "Ag.

They wcro most fortunate in selecting
the right men for the right place, which
they did most effectually in choosing their
officers, Executive Commilt?e, and Com
mittee of Arrangements.
Tho address of Judge Barrett, was a
fine production.
The awards and premiums of the Soci
ety will bo found in another column.
Wc learn that the Society will be able
to meet every dollar of their liabilities,
and have a little loft to ;x,W slumps with.
This is almost unheard of in tho estab
lishment of Acricultural Soclet'cs.
In some of our sister counties, it hat
taken them from ihreo to five years to
get out of debt; yet in this instance eve
ry thing is promptly met nnd discharged,
this will enable the Society next year to
offer larger premiums for everything nec
essary nnd useful.

RUSSELLS' IMPROVED 1
FLEXIBLE HARROW,
rntcnted Jan. 17, '60
"We need an iinproroment in Harrows," is s
remark not iinfreauontly board ainonir farmers.
Araoug the Tew improvoinoats which have hers- -tnfore
been inado in this important and nsefut,
we might ruy indiupcnsnblo implement of hui
bnndry, It would seem that none of them hit
fully met the wants of the AKriculturlnt. Boas
are too heavy, some too complicated and eostly,
and all are liable to the vbjeetion that they tn
only adapted to certaiu kinds of ground, tor '
while it is eauy to got up a harrow that will
work well on smooth, clear and level ground, II
is not so easy to find one that will answer a goes'
purpose in now ground, among . stamps or ot s
billy and undulating surface, but when yoa gel .
one of the latter clnss, you may rest assured that
it will also give satisfaction on a smooth surfses.
The undersigned confidently believe that thU
object la fully attained in this improremesl,
and would eall the attention of Praetieal all
Scientific agriculturists to the following imparl .
ant features which characterise it, 1'irit, il
simnlioitvi secondly, lis strength and durability,
nnd lastly its adaptednest to any and all kitditt (

' The "Boientifle American," a paper whlck
the tcienaillo world Is well acquainted speakf
thus tn reference tn it, "The harrow is oas f
the most important agricultural implements, at
much depends upon the top pulvoriaing or dress
ing of tbe soil, bnlb bofore and after the seed it
sown, for the sncctss of the future crop." Art
describing it, It eohtinnes I "This eomblnstiol
harrow is so simple, that it is superfluous to -tend
for Harrowing either well cleared of roI
ground." r- ; :i - ; i ' ' ' i
