A motion to re-assemble the old Convention vras voted down, as watt a motion for a new Convention. A number of compromise proposition.' were then made, coming from both sides, and after considerable discussion, a recess was ordered, to enable Mr. Fulton, Mr. Cirrig+►a and Mr. Johnston, to embody the most desirable point' in 1)1 into one resolution. On reconvening, the following resolution was read, as having been agreed upon be- tweets them: Besotted, That the Democratic electoral ticket be headed with the name of Douglas or Breckinridge as an elector at large, and in the event of the success of said ticket, if a greater number shall hare been east for Dou glas, then the vote of the Electoral College of the State shall be cast for Douglas and Johnson, but if for Breckinridgo, then for Breckinridge and Lane; if the vote of Penn sylvania cannot elect the candidates fur a horn the majority of votes are cast and can elect any titan running fur President claiming to be a Democrat, then the vote of the electoral college shall be cast fur that candidate; if it will not elect either of the Democrats for whom it is cast, or any of the Democrats who are voted fur in the State, then the vote shall be cast for the candidate who has the major ity of the votes of the State: and the Chair man of this Committee be requested to ob• thin from the electors their set eral and dis tinct pledges of acquiescence in the forego ing resolution, and report the result of his action at a future meeting of the Committee. Considerable discussion followed, some Dou glas men taking sides for and others against the resolution—some Breckinridge men for and others against it. The previous question was then called and sustained, when the first proposition in relation to heading the elector al ticket.down to the word." Lane," was agreed to.—yeas 49, nays 22.

In the evening, quit* a large meeting of the Democracy was had at Altoona, without previous notice, at which lien. W. 11. Welsh, *Judge Maynard, and others, friends respeo tively of Douglas and Breckinridge, made excellent speeches, invoking harmony and sustaloing the action of the Committee, which were received with great enthubiasm.

In the outset of the contest, in the morn ing. the prospect of a triumph of the people of the party was decidedly the best; but as the struggle waxed warmer, it became ap parent that the superior management sad generalshipofthe leaders were making steady headway, and would ultimately result in the success of their favorites. And so it turned out. The managers triumphed, but it was at the cost of great and out-spoken disap pointment and dissatisfaction on the part of those who contended for the nosinatinns of such men as had personal popularity--,a 4 ' qualification " which, they contended, near ly if not quite all the nominees possessed lit tle of. The order in which the ticket was settled was very queer, going from Sheriff to Assem bly, and so on. Bat this was no doubt dune to carry out the plan of the manage=s. We giro it: Sheriff—John D. Becker. Assembly—Robert Bell, Jr. Prothonmary---J. F. Bailey. Cionmiesioner—Dat id Shrirer. Clerk—J. hi. Wolf. Register—C. X. Martin. Directors—Michael Trued'. 3 yaws ; Ben. jaruin Marshall, 2 yea.rs. Auditor--Juhrt E. Tawnsy. At the close of the balliitinr.,4. naarly if not quite half the crowd (delegates and specta tor') could have been seen outside of the Court-house, giving vent to s their feelings of indignation at the success of the managers' planasurring. The ticket, with, it . may be, an eruption or two, is made op of the real and active fol lowers of Know Nothing " Sam," in his old haunts, and it is suspected that come of the secret tricks peculiar to dark legitimism were used to secure its present oumposition. Cer tain it, is that that wing of the Opposition party hits carried off; if not all the nomina tions, at least all worth having.

The Star folks are in trembling anxie ty, lest the Democrats have but one electoral ticket in this State.

I was in Gettysburg a few days ago, and heard such expressions, One or two per son in particular, were unbecomingly severe upon Mr. Breckinridge; so severe, indeed. that I was of opinion they had made up their minds to leave us forever. I should have reprimanded these gentle then. had I been possessed of the same self aasuraneens with which they approached me; but I distrusted my utilities to encounter those so much more learned than inyeelf.—. But in regard to secession, as they call it, al low me to draw your attention to a few plain facts in the case. Since 1840, it has been the usage of Democratic National Conventions, thlt no candidate onuld be settled unless he received 4. of the Convention. The justice or such rule has been long osinceded,"and un til the 18th of June, 1860, it was never re pudiated. IVhen the Convention asatmbled at Coarlemtoo, it was ascertained beyond doubt that Stephen A. Douglas was not tha eh ice of the entire people, neither could he get the requisite vote to nominate him. The number of battles fully demonstrated the litter impossibility of such thing taking place. This plain, unmistakeable voice of the Convention, should hive been sufficient ground+ for his friends to •withdraw his mute and substitute mother, and I believe that Mr. Dduebia was ready et any time to sacrifice his own i•ersonal benefit for the good of the party. The C.nrention adjourned to meet at Dal tim ,re, and upon its re•aasembling it was d.ecovcrod that the; urging of his name wi.uld cause a rapture of the meeting. Still. the stubbornness of some of his Irionia de clined surrendering, and forced him upon fifteen States of the Union. From the fact that it %jut impossible to get a two-third vote, is suffieiEnt to clear any man or set of men of the guilt of seressjon. The convention was -oveructl by this rule, and if any blame is to e attached, it certainty applies to the Iriends of Mr. Douglas, not to those of Mr. B:evkiu riil2;e. Our present worthy Chief Thigittrate,Jimes Buchanan, as well as the venerable Lewis Vivo, were on several oceariione 'withdrawn, to conciliate the party, and less deserving men nominated. This was in accordance with the usages of the party, and the friends of these twa great statesmen, fur the sake of harmony, sulanitte4. Is this so in the case of Mr. Douglas I ; Ear tram it at.d if this greet man lulls a victim to the stubborn tenacity of a National Cooveution, viho is to flame but his Inendsl. ltzeconsinii cannot, and ought not to, b 3 charged to either wing of the party under the circumstances, and it is ni,t unkind, but ruinous to do so, and Raise who make such charges unght well to consider the effects of such a course. It is not to i.e supposed that fifteen States of the Union would sanction a platform of principles directly prejudicial to their best interea:s, and submit with servility to the hove of representation in a National tion‘ention. How easy it would have been to pm event the rupture at ISahtinaore, had a 1 ttle more discretion prevailed in that body. It is acll known that the seceders, as they are eal'ed by some of our friends, consented to every resolution in the. minority platform, amid Nito p ly demanded in another that their property should be protected in the Terri tories, under the Coastitution, until such Territory would have the neoessiry 13o:illa tion to form a constitution and he admitted into the Union, with or without Ilavery, as a ni. jority might determine. flow e.isy it would have been, and how just, to have given them this right, mid thus secured harmony and peace. Tae attitude of some of the Douglas/enders at t:te present time, in my humble opinion, tends toward Republicanism, and unleas I am greatly deceived its effects will be the means of gradually dragging a number of good Doinocrats into the Repaid:tam ranks before they are aware of it. lt ue desire the welfare of our party and the perpetuation of its principles, we must cease to charge each other witti stvertsitdi or disloyalty, and enter the contest with.a•pirit or to t Letirsnee and a determination to seep Lincoln from tbe Presidency. Let our mitt° be, DouBlas or Breckturidge bet ,re Lincoln. A lAIOIEII. No Union. It is a urignifieent fact, that while the few stitught-out Douglas men in Pennsylvania are denouncing the action uf the State Central C.nninittee, in their efforts to conciliate and harmonise, Forney is recommending a union of Douglas men with the Lineolo rail split ters. 'fliers is to•be no union with Demo crats ; but, if possible, the friends of D ,uglas are to be sold to the AbulitiunisL4, and Forney and his immediate satellites to receive the .pny.—Jeffersoniaa. lifirllanover Borough has It population of 1634, an increase of 42S in toe la't ten years.

Ser'The Rockingham, (Va.) Regider, one of the Douglas paperd in chat Suite, thus talks : Ines Taylor's Pronunciamento. We have received a circular from Miles Taylor, Esq., the Secretary of the National Executive Committee of the Democratic par ty, at Waahiqgton i in which he informs us that they are opposed to any union of the two wings or our party, and that they will not sanction the running of a joint electoral ticket in any of the States. We du not hesitate to say, that, although the circular crrsies from the Douglas Committee, we have no disposi tion to obey its behests or cnuply with its unwarranted effort at dictation. If we un derstand the Democracy of the country, they du not belong to any self-oonstitatad commit tee, tior can they be driven to pursue any course a few politicians at IYashington may suggest. We repudiate utterly the efforts of Miles Taylor, or anybody else, to widen the unfor tunate breach which bee been made in our party. In the face of his proclamation we declare that we are in favor of a union of the two wings of the party in every State where there is division of eentiinent ; that we are in favor of running bat one electoral - ticket, end if the votes of the State cannot be secured to Judge Nought, we want them coat for Breok inridge.

The Old North State Responds to Oregou;• The election for Governor and members of the Legislators took place in North Carolina, on Thursday, the 2d inst. Gov. Ellis, the twasent incumbent, was the Democratic, and John Pool, the Opposition candidate. Not withstanding the existence of an exalting lo cal question, of which Pool had the popular si4e, and which doubtless lbst Ellis thousands, of votes, Ellis, an avowed Breekinridge man, has been elected by a large majority. After giving the result in the different counties, a dispatch from Petersburg, Va., under date of August 4th, concludes as follows: "The returns indicate heavy gains for Pool, but they are not sufficient to affect the result. Well informed parties give the State to the Democrats with a majority of from 8,000 to 10,000.'"- All honor to North Carolina. She i. the second State which mince the Baltimore Con vention has declared fur the Constitution and the Union and eho Equality of the Statei.— Oregon and North Carolina are only the corn niencement of that grand pyramid of loyal States which the patriotic Democracy will erect before the November Election, when their success will be complete. Let union and harmony prevail and a glorious victory wil: crown our efforts.—York Gazette. barThet returns of the election in Kentue• ky give Coombs, the Constitutional Unjust candidate for Clerk of the Court of Appeals. twenty odd thousand majority—resulting from the fact that there were nu less' than three Democratic olindilites iu the field—one Breckinridge, another Douglas, and a third Independent. Missouri is also " mixed up"l—the result not yet known. Senator Green, who is on the stump making powerful speeches fur Breckinridge, supported with equal ardor C. T. Jackson, the Douglas candidate fur Dover nor, in opposition to 11. Jackson, the Breckin ridge candidate, Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson on the Repub. Licari Party.
