graphic reporta of the Donglas demonstration in
New York, a similar demonstration in New Jersey,
and the meeting of oltisens, last evening, at Inde
peudenoS Square, to jMte' aoHoa on the nominations'
of Bracktnridge and lmne. The Now York meet- ■
lag whioh took plase at Tammany Hall was over- ‘
wbelmlagiy antourtaatie. Bi-Maybr Tiemaun pre

9. W. Jones, Senator Pogh, and others equally

Serenaded at the Fifth Aveflne Hotel. The meet
ing <f the Camden Demooraoy was large, and
among the speakers we notioo John Campbell,' of

mory Wright, of Mssseohnsetts, (one of the bolt
ers,) Hen. Jo Lane, Hon. Humphrey Marshall, of
Xentooky, and Oen. Waul, of Texas. Mr. Josiah
Band all asked leave to print his speech, which was.
readily granted.' The resolutions, whioh were not
adopted, and which Mr. Ingenoll, only aftermuch
persuasion, oonld be' induced to say he considered
tobe adopted, will bo found to he of a thoroughly;
and extremely Southern nature. '
Ve have further particulars in relatidn to the'
brutal murder of two oltisens of York, on
Saturday evening. The cause of die murder .is at

Fusion with Disuoionlsts,
The Democratic State Central Committee
met yeaterday afternoon at the Merchaate’
Hotel, in this city, mid the proceedings will
be found in another .part of onr morning’s
edition.; The 'Administration forces were on
the ground In force, and snoeeiSed in carrying
a resolution In favor of a /ftuiion oi the Dou
glas' and Breckinridge forces upon the exist
ing electoral ticket. The record shows that,
the committee dint exclnded the reporters—
' then refused to allow the absent country mem
■ bers of the committee to send substitutes;
. sifter permitting Philadelphia to throw twenty
two votes for four Senatorial dlstricts,. wben
nearly all the interior districts threw but two
for each district—then voted downs resolu
tion declaring Dodoias and Jonssorr the regu
lar Democratic candidates—and finally re-,
solved that, the electoral ticket should be sup
ported alike by the friends oI Douolas and
Baaecnrsmax! Of the hundred'members of
the committee, about sixty. were present,' and
ofthese the Philadelphia city members (nearly
all. office-holders or their relatives and de
pendents) Constitnted the half of the majority.
This action 01 the State Committee willbe
received by the Democrats oi the State, with
contempt and indignation. It is a prochuria
tlon of insult to the friends' of Dodolas and
. to the Democntio National Committee, which
has demanded the appointment of pure Dou
gina electoral tickets in all the States. -We
' regard' the’ decision of this close corporation
as releasing all the Douglas ’Democrats from
. any, ■ obligation .whatsoever to., support ’the
electoral ticket. They cannot vote for it, as it
stands, without stultifying themselves.' They
cannot vote foritwltboutvotingforDlsunfonista
andSeceders. They, cannot vote forit without
sanctioning fraud and force fa- their wont
Jh^os., There Isbnt one rescue from this last
shameless act of despotism—and that is, a
mass .meeting of the Democratic people, to
parge the electoral ticket, and to cut loose
'. from the' Disiinlonists forever. Theft was. a
gallant and protesting minority in the State'
Committee yesterday, but they were power
. leas fa the midst of office-holders and Sece
den.' If the masses do not now move in their
own defence, it will- be because they are indiir
, ferent to their own interests, or disgusted with
,• treacherous representatives. A fitting finale
to this gross betrayal of principle was the Be
bedera’ [meeting at Independence Square on
thesame evening.

How Shall the Nest President ho
Elected T f . V; , ,
' There is one common gfoiwd >. n P on . w . loa
(ho cit irons who prefer STEPHEir ; At Douoi as
and Heesobei V. JoiiHeoK, il>oh o who prefer
Abeahak Likcoi.n and Haeslbae Hameik, and
ttioso who prefer Joss Beeb and Edwaed
Kvbbitt, can heartily and eflectively nnito.
They are aU opposed to the DisunionisU of tho
South, and to the and fatal plat consocted
,hy Ja3l*o BnoHASAR, Jefferson Davis, John
p. BEROicniEiDOEt- and Jo Lane, to throw the
decision of the n?xt Presidency into the Con.
gross of the United'States. There !s no pre
sant prospective contingency of a choice by
the'Honse of the first officer of the Hepnblic,
owing to the complexion of that branch of the
National Legislature. ,■
‘ this fact, apparent to all, has been craftily
acted npon by the Disnnionists at Washington;'
These , men hold the-Senate of the United
States In ,their buds as their fief, and have
wielded it against the North, and against the
conservatism of the Sonth, like a ponderous
engine of mischief; and they are now exult
ing npon what they conceive to be the cer
tainty! of giving to the Senate the choice of
the Vice President, who shall he President for
four years from the fourth of March, 1861,
This is their game; this is the real secret of
all' the ■ proscriptions of James Btcuanan
npon a fearless public opinion. This is the
motive power that induced him to attack
Douglas In Illinois, In 1868; that suggested
the removal of that statesman from the Com
mittee 'on Territories in the Senate; that ini
tiated the social despotism at Washington by
•which the Republicans and Donglas Democrats
were excluded from his household; that com
pelled his official, slaves to proscribe inde
pendent and to establish mercenary news
papers; that encouraged the assassination of
the ' ever-to-be-iamented Bbodebiok ; that
forced these same slaves te carry delegates
to county and State Conventions, there to lay
down the rmost offensive doctrines; and,
finally, that marshalled the way for tho shame
less bolt at Charleston, and the still more
shameless and dishonorable secession at Balti
more. The President and his confederates
felt that they held the Senate closely in their
hands—a Senate which has registered all his
decrees, confirmed the basest wretchos and
rejected the best men of the Republic, and a
Senate which nay choose the next President
of the United States, if Mr. Boohasan and his
mercenaries can succeed In carrying out his
present plans. What object, then, can the
Republicans have in encouraging the Breckin
ridge, or . Disunion,- movement in tho froe
States ? Their only safety is to bo found in
keeping the election of President out
of Congress. .Tho Bell and Everett
men have a still deeper interest in
resisting the Disunion element, because it is
by opposing it that they expect to return to
the.new Congress a number of American Re
presentatives. AU the instincts, aU the im
pulses, all the pledges, and all the inte
rests of the Donglas Democracy, are against
the contingency of referring the decision
of. the. Presidential question to the pre
sent Congress. Every movement t» the free
States ’ that looks to the encouragement of
Beeceineidge and Lane is a preparation
to the election of tht latter to the Presidency of
the United Slates, The money of the Ad
ministration, which has been so potential in
the punishment of independent Democrats,
and in'the division of the Democratic party
throughout the Union, will be used with tre
mendous power to prevent the Honse from de
ciding the Presidential question, and, by con
sequent, in referring it to the. Senate, and
thns in securing the election of the Disunion
candidate for Vice President, as President of
the United States, for four years from the next
fourth of March.
There is below all this surface of fraud and
dissension a deeper and more dangerous
game. The friends of Bbeobuneidge and
Lane, look to a dissolution of the Union of
these States. These men are not inspired by
mere revenge upon Mr. Douglas and the
Northern Democracy who have stood by him.
Mr. Bbbokihbidge can certainly have no pur
pose in assisting to vindicate James Bcchan
ab and his corruptions, after tho President hfs
attempted to degrade himand Jo Lane, who
has just been rebnked in Oregon by toe pro
bable triumph of the Bepnblicsns, does not
desire to .commit political suicide, simply to
■vlMMa l.li« Twint. Federal dynasty. .Their
action is explained npon another theory. The
Secessionists and Dinnionists at Charleston
and Baltimore long ago determined to break
up' the Confederacy.' Their programme 1b to es
tabUih a new Government, by carrying off from
ttie present Union the slaveholding States, and
by adding to these toe two Commonwealths of
Oregon and California. They see the rapidly
•approaching honr when the Northwestern
States, the New England States, and the mid
dle States will wield an overshadowing influ
ence in the administration of the General Go
vernment. They feel that, after 1868, they
will be in a hopeless minority, and basing this
upon the absurd idea that they have been in
jured by the nomination of Stephen A. Dou
glas—who has heretofore been their best
Mend, and by the adoption of a platform of
principles in reference to slavery which came
from themselves, at ’ Cincinnati —they have
determined to make -this .a pretext first
for a secession from the Democratic
party, and secondly, fer a secession from
toe Union iffieif. And John C. Rseoeiv- #
ridge and Jo Lane have lent themselves to.
this scheme. Should they fail to elect Lane,
the minority candidate for Vice President, by
the vote of a sectional Secession Senate, the
Government will probably be thrown into con
fusion and chaos, and should they triumph
with him they flatter themselves that, in such an
event, the Northern people would rise against
the usurpation. If Lincoln should be lectede
by the people, then, as we are frequently in
formed, it is their purpose either to resist his
inauguration,'or to refuse to take office under
US Administration, and to reject and expel
all those who are sent Into .the South Jto exer
cise the fractions‘of the agent of the Govern
ment. We repeat, if the Secessionists and
Disunionist# are enabled to throw the Presi
dential election into the House, it Trill be be
cause they have been encouraged by Korth
em men.
We are not of those who despair of the
American Union,' but we do sometimes despair
when we observe the indifference of the Ame
rican people in the midst of danger. They
have such, an abiding faith in the covenant
that biods these States togethePr~sGch a re
verence for the past, and such a confidence in
the fact that no politician will dare to raise his
hands against the Union—that they often fail
to notice tho intrigues of the mere politicians
who would bankrapt heaven itself if they
could serve their own purposes; Should the
plan of electing General L4NE, the Disunion
candidate for Vice President,"as tho next Fre*
■ident of the United States by the Secession
Senators in Congress be carried out, or should
the proclaimed purpose of resisting the in
auguration of a Republican President be en
forced, what will this Union bo worth ? Will
the majority of the people, in either case, sub
mit to an outrage so monstrous? The ques
tion hardly deserves an answer.
What they need in the Southern States at
the present day is an Andrew JacksoN; a
man who will stand by/such gallant spirits as
John Fobsyth, Hebschel V. Johnson, Geo.
W.Johm, Isaac Morse, and Pierre Soule,
and aid them In resisting the tide of nulliflca--
tion and disunion, which threatens to over
whelm alike the Korth and the South. JohnO.
Bbmkimbioqk ought to have been the Andbew
Jackson of the ttmes ; but he has fallen from
his high , estate, from his family record, and
from the expectation of hla heretofore of
thousands of friends. He has lent his fresh
and, until now, ; unsullied name, tojthe enemies
of the Union. Who; in all the South, with
equal claims upon tho country, will come forth
to take the place of Jackson 1. Who will take
the lead of the gallant gentlemen and the seif,
sacrificing patriots in that region, who have
put theniielvesiti the imminent deadly breach ?
We look around in vain for tho man.
, In an old' Spanish record It is related that
when the great On>—the champion of Spain,'
and the destroyer of.the Hoors—died, his
body was embalmed, and sat in' a carved
chair, aod never moved for seven years, but
once, , when a beastly enemy dared to pulhijis
beard. , At the end 'of these seven years, the
Spaniards werebeset ty the Moors. Finding
their coditry gOibg to desolation, their lead-'
’lfeftj Actions festering in their
'and the worsfc 1 calamities threatened by their
ifSfrp^ditjßions,, they bethought themself eg'of
thdiCorpse, of :their great chief, wljosat, even
in death, on his throne. So they put the
body on horseback, strapped and fastened it,
and rode it out at tho bead of the sallying ar
my. The rout ot the enemy of!Spain was
total and complete. .The dead dm performed
the woik tkat tho living had failed to accom
plish ; end tho old Spanish chronicler, in his
quaint verso, tolls too story as follows:
“ Ths Cid rede through the hoiee-ehoe gate;
Omega-shaped it stood.
A ermbol of the moon that waned before
The Christian rood.
" He wee all sheathed in golden mail, his
Cloak was white ae shroud;
His Ytxor down, his sword unsheathed,
Corpse-still he rede and proud
“ Andover ail the spears and blades, East,
West, and South, nnd North,
The Cid’s broad flag like sunset spread,
Wild'flaming fiercely forth.’;
If there is no living Jackson in the Southern
States to stand np against the Disunion party,
why cannot the canonized hones of the dead
hero be imhearsed, and placed at the head of
those who are waiting for a leader ?
The Monument in Independence Square.
After the long-continued agitation before the
Legislatures of the thirteen original States of
the Confederacy, in regard to the erection of
a suitable monument in Independence Square,
to commemorate the most important event in
our national history—the adoption ol tho De
claration of Independence—and the final con
enrrence in the project of a sufficient number
of States to insure its success —it certainly be
came desirable - that a design should be ob
tained which would render the monument in
the highest degree creditable as a werk of art,
irrespective of the patriotic associations con
nected with it. The wealth and power of the
great Commonwealths which have pledged
themselves to unite In constructing it, as well
as the historical grandeur of the act of whioh
it is designed tobe an indestructible memento,
demand that superior artistic gonius should he
devoted to its adornment. It would be a
source of never-ending mortification to the ci
tizens of all the original Colonies if, when
erected, it should prove to be an unsightly or
ungraceful object, for it would then practically
become rather a monument of the bad taste or
penurionsness of the generation which con
structed it than of the patriotism of thoir an
cestors.
The committee, composed of representatives
of tho different States which are identified
with the project, assembled some months ago
at New York, and invited designs for the pro
posed monument on terms similar to those
whioh the proprietors of some literary news
papers offer for « prize stories”—viz: Forthe
design adopted by the committee a premium
of $BOO was to he given, and all designs not
adopted were to be retained as its
It does not require much sagacity to perceive
that thiß proposition was by no means calcu
lated to attract the attention of'snperior ar
tists, to whom the sum offered, even if they
were certain to receive it, would b 8 but a
small inducement, and who have more profita
ble employment than competition for a prize
which they would respectively have but a very
small chance of obtaining, when all their la
bors would be entirely unrewarded and their
right to their plans surrendered if. they should
not happen to be approved. THe committee
should undoubtedly have mad* a much more
liberal proposition, both by increasing the re.
ward for the accepted design, and by return
ing to the competitors the rejected plans—
About time of the arrival of the Ja
panese in our city the Monument Committee
also arrived here to inspect toe plans which
had been submitted, in compliance with their
proposition. Onr City Councils, desirous of
manifesting their deep interest in their labors,
as weii as to evince their respect for the mem
bers of the committee, and for the great States
they represented, made an appropriation ol
$l,OOO to defray their expenses for the short
period they were to remain here to select a
design. We have no fault to find with this
appropriation—indeed, under all the circum
stances, ft was rather creditable than other
wise—bnt it certainly presents a strange con
trast to the proposition of tho committee itself
for a design for the monument. Think of it;
$BOO to reward the inventive genius of an
artist who is expected to produce a very su
perior design, and who, no matter how beauti
fhl his plan may bo, will receive nothing if it
is not adjudged to be the best produced, while,
to pay the expenses of a 1 few gentlemen who
assemble together to ihspect those plans,
$l,OOO were appropriated 1 Is not this very
much like Falslaff’s tavern bill—a “half
pennyworth of bread ” to an “ intolerable
deal of sack V> A paltry pittance to an artist,
whose work is .exjjected_toJie_as.il ajhineof
beauty,” “ a 1 joy forever,” while open-handed
liberality .is evinced in providing for an ample
quantity of modern sack, and other creature
oomforts, to those who are to.pass judgment
upon the designs submitted j
We understand that in consequence oi the
general contempt, among artists, oi the pro
position ef the committee, they found bnt
comparatively few designs awaiting their in
spection when they assembled together, al
though some very cpeditable ones were sub
mitted-—the competitors befog generally young
men. After a short deliberation they ad
journed without arriving at a decision—no
plan submitted befog, we believe, fully
satisfactory. It is to be hoped that the com
mittee, admonished by this failure, will now
offer such inducements os will enlist the at
tention and command the services of the best
artists in the country, and that no narrow
spirit of ill-judged penuriousness will bo per
mitted to thwart their efforts to procure a su
perior design for what should bo, if it is con
structed at all, qno of tjie pchlest monuments
in the world. •
Fireworks on the Fourth.
Promptly responding. to the call which we
took leave to make upon him immediately
after the conflagration of the German Catholic
Church, corner of Sixth and Spruce street,
he Mayor issued a proclamation strongly pro
hibiting tho sale of “dangerous fireworks.”
We have yet to learn what fireworks are not
f* dangerous,” and we have to ask what mea
sures the Mayor has taken to enforce his pro
hibition of their sole. Tho obvious mode
would have been to send a batch of pollcemon
round to every plape in-the city where fire
works are on sale, and solemnly warn tbo oc
cupants of the consequences of their not
obeying the Mayor’s edict, which is based
upon tho law.
T.Q-jnpprow will be “ the glorious Fourth,”
which it has hitherto frepn frie Jmbit to cele
brate by fireworks of all sorts and descrip
tions—from the penny Catherine-wheel and
squib to tho aspiring rocket and the unman
ageable chaser. The minor displays, with an
alternation of pistol-shooting, are contributed
by juvenile ragamuffins and also by well
dressed children of a higher sphere, , The 1 *
great blaze, dignified by the high-sounding
title of a “pyrotechnic display,” is most
generally made at the public expense.
Whilst there are wooden tenements or
shingle roofs In Philadelphia, even the fizzing
of a ought nof to fje.ajlowed. Already,
during the few last evenings, ye baye Ijoayd
the noise of fireworks and tho discharge of
pistols, prophetic of tho perpetual firing and
smoke which, on the Fourth of July, invaria
bly threaten destruction to life and property
in this fair pity of oifrs. Wo have not heard,
as yet, oi a solitary instance in which the
young Fire Worshippers have been pounced
upon by the Police.
The Mayor, instructed in his duty by tho
public journals, fulminates a. Proclamation
against tfre sale of fireworks. lip dops worse
than nothing if he doeg not take njeasupos for
also preventing their discharge* There is yet
time for him to direct his army of Police,
usually doing very little, to arrest every adult,
as well as every child, who may be found let
ting* off fireworks or flrearjns, to-morrow, or
any other day-, Until Mayor Hemuy fioeH/fyjr,
who can believe him earnest and truthful in
prohibiting the sale of fireworks ?
Hon. Eliuu B. Washbubne, tho Re
publican Representative from the Galena (Illi
nois) district, is, we perceive, a candidate for
re-election, The (Convention of his party is
shortly to meet,, and some interest is mani
fested in the result. Mr. Wasbbuiine is one
of the most conscientious, upright, and at
tentive men, in Congress. His constituents
could not be better sensed by another man,
Mr. Washbubne is ono of the three brothors
of that name in Congress, and is, we believe,
the eldest. Although a very decided partisan,
he is a kind-hearted and geuerous man.

New York and! the Japanese. 1 .
While tho Japanese .Embassy was tarrying
in Philadelphia, some 9f the New York jour-,
nals were assiduously dev,vied to misrepresent
ations of tho manner in which they were then |
entertained. Their misfortune in being sub
jected to our mere “ provincial ” hospitality,
while the toll blaze of -metropolitan splendor
was temporarily shut out from them,-was feel
ingly deplored. And it was roundly assorted,
that not only would Gotham exhibit many
wonders far eclipsing all they had previously
witnessed, bnt that her committee of recep
tion, and officials generally, animated hy the
nice sense of honor and gentlemanly feeling
which are the distinguishing characteristics of
the rulers ot Now York,, would careiuly avoid
all arrangements that could, possibly offend
or irritate them; would prevent all insulting
expressions from reaching their ears; would
sacredly secure their privacy; and, in short,
would so receive the Embassy as to satisfy it
that they represented not only the commercial
metropolis of the country, hut the sacred
abode of the concentrated essenco of Ameri
can good-breeding and refined conrtesy.
The degree of fidelity with which this at
tractive programme was adhered to, or rather
the reckloss manner in which it was violated,
could only bo disclosed by a much more toll
and accurate account of the incidents connect
ed with the reception of tho Japanese in Now
York than has yet boon written. One of tho
first events alter their arrival was the resort to
downright forco to compel a portion of tho
Embassy, very much against their will, and in
a manner which so much insulted one of them
that he drew his sword to defend himself, to go
to a place of public amusement they had no
desire to visit, that tlioy might be seen by a
curious audienco. And this was only one of
a series of schemes to exhibit the Ja
panese, at great ineonvenienoe to tliemsejves,
for tho profit of showmon. Tho secret of
much that would bo otherwise inexplicable in
the extraordinary reception extended to the
Japanese in New York is thus disclosed in the
New York Times of yesterday i
l( Now that tho Japanese have gono, it may hot
bo inappropriate -to montiQn a namber of rumors
afloat as to their vißit and the manner of their en
tertainment. Among them are the following:
“That somobody was well paid for securing Ja
panese visits to certain stores.
11 That somebody got a commission on goods
sold to the Japaneseprpnpes.
11 That somebidy authorized the' spiling pf tho
wine at the great ball, ia the streets, at from twen
ty-five to fifty cents per bottle.
“That some of the members of tho Commin
Oeunoil were engaged in selling ball tickets hy
proxr
" That the reason why there wpn sprij a ojowd at
the grand ball was that there wsb a number of en
trances where tioketa were not required.
“ That somebody had antnterest in causing ths
Japanese servants to promenade in, a certain
theatre.
“That the Japanese reception committee or the
Oommon Council lived hign at th'e Metropolitan
during toe past four weeks at the expense of the
oity.
“ That the members of the Common Connell had
a number of drives on the road every afternoon, in
the carriages provided for tho Japanese.
“ That somebody was well paid for securing
pictures of the Javanese
It is a distinguishing virtue of some oi the
most barbaric and predatory tribes of the world,
that the person and property of any one who U
temporarily their gneßtaro held sadred, and the
man who partakes of their humble meal may
deem hiß valuables as secure as if they were
under lock and key in his own Bafe. .But this
virtue does not appear to have animated the
breasts of those who influenced the visits and
controlled the movements of the Japanese |jj
New York. According to the statements in
tho Times, they wefe treated as legitimate ob
jects of speculation, and their character as
guests, instead of shielding them irom impor
sltion, gave to some of their hosts the coveted
power to render them, indirectly, a source of
pecuniary gain. Tho plunder of the New
York public by silly and extravagant enter
tainments, and enormous and unnecessary ex
penditures, does pot appear to have been
quite sufficient for thebe coiqnorants, and a
tariff of charges for securing Japanese visits to
stores, for commission npon goods sold to
them, for their presence at theatres, ai)d even
for securing their pictures, appears to haye
been established. The Japanese are evidently
a good-natured people, and this fact alone
affords ground for the hope that all'the agreea
ble impressions they obtained flurinj thelf
visit to our country, particularly while (hey
remained in Philadelphia, were not weakened
by the indignities ottered to them, and, the
lamentable spectacles of municipal-corruption
and bad taste they witnessed, in lley York.
Meeting of the Democratic State C'en»
This committee met at Merchants’ Hotel, yester
day afternoon, &t 3 o'clock, ontHe call of the chair*
man, Win. H. Walsh, Esq. (jur reporter
honest exertions to that the proceed
ing of the alleged representatives of the Demo*
erioyof the State might be faithfully reported in
the news columns of Tbb Peers, bat he was de
nied. What we have of what took plaoe has been
gathered from members of the oommlttee.
The secretaries were Messrs. iy. H. Miller,'of
Dauphin; F. M, Hutchinson, of Allegheny j
Charles W. Oarrjgan, of Philadelphia, and H. Is.
Burnham, of Oarbon. A suggestion from the
Ohair, that repqrters for the press shopld bp
mltted, was negatived at onoe, although very ably
defended by Qenoral Davis and others. About
sixty of the one hundred members of the commit
tee were present. Many from the country sent
substitutes, being themselves unable to attend, but
the first action of the committee (Philadelphia
having twenty-two representatives, when only
entitled to eight) was to refuse admission to there
substitutes. . General Davis, of Bueks, urged that
there was great inequality of representation. By
this action of the committee but three members
were present from the prestesn part of the State.
He would demand a Tote’by districts, sb that thbre
should bo equality. The Chairman rpled the de
mand out of order. Mr. D. Salomon, of Philadel
phia, moved tUatacommlttoe of five he appointed
to devise some plan for a union of the party. Mr.
Carrigan, of Philadelphia, moved to amend by
providing for the reassembling of the dth-of-March
Reading Convention. Mr. Johnston, of Cambria,
moved, as an amendment to the amendment, that
a new Convention should bo oalled, which was de
feated by a vote of 9 to 62. Mr. Carrlgan’s pro
position was negatived by 11 to 61, and Mr. Bslo
mon’s by 20 to 40.
A resolution by Mr. Johnston, of Cambria, that
Douglas and Johnson be recognized as the regu
lar nominees of the £eqioprati<) party, tfQ 9 d 9 ‘
feated by a vote of 20 to 30. An esrnegt speech
was made by Gen. Davis, of Bucks county. That
war-horse of tho party had, through a long and
aotive lifetime, supported the Democratic party,
and ho would support Douglas and Johnson, its
nominoea now. Afr. pf Chester
county, said that'* he ‘had' always opposed
Mr. Douglas, and that Jie would much pre
fer to vote for Mr. Breckinridge; but that*
as Mr. Douglas was the Democratic nominee,
bo would support Douglas. Johnston, of Cambria,
and 'W. H. Miller, of Dauphin, also msde eloquent
speeches in favor of Douglas. The leaders for
Breckinridge were V. L. || rad ford j of £hiladel'<
phla, a seooder from M'j Guernsey, a
ecceder also, and Air. McDowell, -of' Dauphin,
olork of Governor Bigler’s Committee on Patents
of the United States Senate. The following reso
lotion, offered by Mr. Thoa. 0/ McDowell, from
Dauphin, was adopted by a vote of to 16:
Profoundly ipipr«?«ed ffitfi thw .importance of
prompt, vigorous, and patriotic aafion on the part
of the Demooratlo State Committee, in order to
avert, If possible, the consequences wbioh must In
evitably'result, from the unhappy division now
exUtiog of the Democracy in our
State and nation, we cordially and earnestly re
comm«R<? iQ tho Democracy of (foe gtpta that they
unite with heart hnd'voioe in support orour excel
lent and competent nominee for Governor. Henry
,D* Foster, and that in all other local elections they
act as one party,'foregoing and forgetting any dif
ferences that they may have entertained for the
Presidency; and with a view to a perfoot union
against the common enemy, we recommend to the
DemooraoJ Pennsylvania to unjte tfieif vq(eg
for President on the electoral ticket formed at
Rending, on the *3th day of'March, 1860, on the
following basis and understanding, to wit;
That if said eleotoral ticket should be eleoted by
the people, aod it should appear,' on ascertaining
the result in the other States of the Union, that by
casting the entire vote of Pennsylvania for Sto*
phen A. Dougl&s anfi H. y. Johnson, it would
eleot .them President and Vioe President over
Messrs. Llnciln and Hngfiln, then said electors
shall be under obligations so to past gaid votes. If,
oq the other hand,lt should appear said votes
would not eleot Messrs. Douglas and Johnson, but •
would eleot John O Breokinridge and'Josoph Lane
President and Vice President over Messrs Lincoln
and tfien said votes shal\ be oast for them.
But in oase phe putted votes of Pennsylvania
not eleot either of those tfckeW, tbqn electors
may divide them between them according to their
owl judgment pf what would be best for the coun
try aid the Demooratlo jiarfy- The basis of this
united aotion being that it is the first and highest,
duty of all Democrats, however they may differ
about men and minor points of principle or'poliey,
to unite against a couamno enemy, ana to avert, if
possible, the greatest calamity that cpqld bofiil the
country—the election of a Black Republican pre
sident
And further, the chairman of this committee Is
hereby authorized to correspond with the several
eleotorsin this State, and obtain from each of said
eleotors his written pledge, within thirty days from
this date, that be wiU ftfikfully carry opt the
objeot of this rrßojptlpp,
Gen. Miller, of Dauphin, bounty, offered a rofo
lotion that the editors of .the<Demooratio papers of.
■the SEate should be recommended to hoist tho De- !
mocratlo flag. Chairman Welsh arosd and stated i
that ho was ap editqf Of a Demooratlo piper, and |
that he would not feel bound by suefi a resolution, i
if it were adopted. In tho midst of the olamor
raised by the resolution, he received a motion to
adjourn,.and declared tho committee, at half past
trai Committee,
six o’clock P. M., adjournod, to moot again at Gres
sou on (ho call of tho committee. In this, 09
throughout, Chairman Welsh, it is alleged, acted
with'too Disnnionists.
As toe members of toe oommltteo made their
appearance they were buttonholed to state the re
sult, and, when it was announced, there was no
enthusiasm, bnt a great deal of deep Bwsaring.
During too afternoon toe parlors, and halls, and
bar room of tho hotel were crowded. Custom-house
officers, officers of the post office, and of tho mint,
and Federal oflioers of all kinds, were largely re
presented. There were one or two fights, but no
body was hurt, and nobody was arrested.

SPEECHES BY JAMES 0. VANDYKE, ESQ , CHARLES

SPRINGFIELD ARMORY, (JEW. JOE LANE, OF ORE*
GOH, HUMPHREY MARSHALL, OF KENTUCKY, AND
GEN. WAUL, OF TEXAS.
Between four and fire thousand citizens of Phila
delphia, gentlemen of tho Abolition, Ilepublioan,
American, cx*Whig, ex-Democratic, custom house,
navy yard, post office, and expectant mombersof
tho Deinoor&tlo organization assembled in Inde*
poudenoo Squaro last evening. Borne of tbemoamo
to earn thoir salaries; somo to rUtify tho noraina*
tion of Breolfinridge and Lane; somo out of curl*
osity to see whether there vrofo really such people
(is Sooessio&iBt3 -in Philadelphia; some, li}ta the
thousand good Bopublioans who woro there
shouting for Brecklnridgo laat night, to
orjoy whatever amusement might transpire)
ami like the very largo polioo force with
epcolal instructions from his Honor, the Mayor, to
see that the “ masses” were protected in giving
vent to their enthusiasm for Brcokinridgo and
Lane. We must confess that, taking everything
into consideration, and particularly tho fact that
there are at least two thousand salaried men in
Philadelphia, whoso broad and butter de
pend upon their enthusiasm for Broohlnridgo
Lftno; when we remomber that inspec
tors and appraisers, letter-carriers and Mint
clerks, had boon on leave of absenoe for tho
past fortnight, oanvas3ing overy ward and preoinbt
with printed papers and petition*, hogging and he
-B*eohing for signatures; when we oonsider that
heavy Assessments rigorously exacted from
every poor protesting pensioner in the national
service; and above all, when we repepiber- that
there was to bo a “ magnificent display of fire*
wor^s”— ap announcement whioh was adveftlsed ;
and 'placarded in the largest hied of type,
and a plentiful nssertment of exclamation
points—we can only express an honest degree of
surprise that no more than four, or, at the very
farthest* five thousand citizens could be collected
by the force of suoh unequalled attractions. The
firo*works themselves were good for five hundred
boys, Although, and we say it in sorrow for the
boys, with the exception of« a few lights
&qd an eqcaalooal Hosan candle, tuero were no
pyrotechnics.
A very not*coablefaot of the whole demonstration
was the entire absence of everything like those
ward processions, which give enthusiasm and effect
to our political mass meetings. There were no
banners, bearing aloft the names of
end Lane, neither torches nor lanterns, turning
midnight into midday, no r exulting 'and excited
orowde,'shouting thoir devotion to men and
ciple—nothing of that honest, imerfy* and 07or-
Riming sentiment q[ pipulav enlhusi»aio which
greeted the rati float lon meeting of the friends of
Douglas and Johnson, on last Saturday evening.
A stand had been erected Immediately opposite
tho exit door of tho main avenue of the State
Bouao building. At this stand accommodations
were provided forthe offioera of the meeting, re*
porters of the press, and the r£ the po
jiqe. f argo bpdjes cjf policemen—some with their
‘but tjie majority wit&outA-wore placed at
different parts of the Square, forthe purpose of
preventing the outbursts of popular indignation
te organise disunion In Philadelphia. At a few
minutes past eight o’olook, James 0. Vandyke,
Efcj, called tho mooting to order, And In doing so
made a briof speech.

Now, gentlemen, as that Conven ion that Colonel
i Wright has given you so true, so acoqr&te, and so
member of Congress from Louisville at the time of
the great riot there, when a Demooratio newspaper
ofiioe was destroyed, and naturalized citizens In
largo numbers were shot down in the streets, was
the next speaker.
Tho speaker said he recognized the nominations
of Breckinridge and Lane as rosting upon great
fundamental principles, which had guided his
political course during the last ten years. He then
proceeded to examine the Compromise measures of
1850; contending that those measures did not now
justify the position of Senator Douglas, but that
tboir purpose waa to allow the people of a Terri
tory to decide, when they formed their State Con
stitution, whether or not they would have slavery.
lie ridiculed the idea that Congress, unable itself
to prohibit slavery, oan organize a Territorial Go
vernment which shall possess that power, fle
warmly defended the right of slaveholders to hold
slaves in a Territory so long as its Territorial con
dition continued.
Referring to the question a S candidates, he said
that Bell and Evprett, with their platform—the
Constitution, tho Union, and the enforcement of
tbelaws—might vory properly receive his support,
were U not that a great question of Southern rights
is now made a distinot issue, and every Southerner
not indifferent to tho rights of his section must
boldly take sides with that party which advocates
the true constitutional dootrine with regard to
slavery in the Territories.
He reviewed the history of Mr. Breckinridge, and
argued that his career showed him to have no
■sympathy with Disunion purposes. In reply to an
interrogatory of thoorowd, Mr. Marshall declared
himself decidedly opposed to the principle of the
homestead bill. In regard to tbat and ike tariff
question, he considered them both of minor im
portance when compared with the vital question
now tit is*u*^-Are we equals in this Government?
Let thl3 be properly aeoided, and measures of
minor importance will be duly attended t<s.
