The County Convention.
C*c.c.cl Tiolzot
The Democratic County Convention, to
nominate w County Ticket, assembled in the
Ceerlobonse, on Monday last. Erery district
was filly represented. But the Convention
Inus not only fell—it wan one of the moot in
tisillosot bodies of the kind, of any party„that
has convened in this place fur many a year.
,AL strong feeling for harmony prevailed
throughout, and nothing whatever occurred
to soar the deliberations in the least. Tho
Opposition were loud is their boasts before-
heed that the Prepidential quostion would
produce trouble, and based all their hopes
upon such as occurrence. But they were
-ascot egregiously disappointed. That dis
sorbing question was wit.ely avoided by the
Convention, no alhasiun whatever baring been
made to it.
That the ticket nominated is an admirable
one, ail candid men admit, and it goes into
the ennui with the presiiye that it is not to
be beaten.
The oboice of the Convention for the Legis
lators fell upon Ilimar J. MYARS, of Tyrone. ,

The State Committee's Meeting at Cres-
1 9 1 /-
In tto Patriot 41- Uoion wo find such an
admirable exposition of the resolution Adopted
by the Democratic State Executive Comm] tke,
at Cresson.ein the thh inst., that we make use
of such portions of it as m ty prove of interest.
The resuliitbet adopted by the CAntuittee,
says that journal. proiloses that the Electoral
ticket formed by the Reading Convention
shall be voted f,r by Dem-ernts, and all those
uith Democratic sympathies opposed to the
election of the Republican candidates; that
for the purpose of ascertaining whi.di of the
candidates f,r President is the pretereneo of
a majority Jae cetera of the State, one of
the electors 51.1111 le dropped from the ticket,
and in his place the name of Douglas or
RlTekinridge substituted, according to the
ish of the toter, and the candidate receiving
the greatest number of rules shall, in the
event of the emcees* of the ticket, receive the
Electoral Tote of the State. If Mr. Doeglas
has inure Totes thr.n Mr. Breekinridge, then
he is to get the Electoral run: ; and if, on
the other hand, the majority turns out to
be fur Mr. Breckinridge, then the vote of
the State is to be cast fur him. This ar
rangement lurches the certain loss of the
one Elector dropped fur the purpose of
ascertaining the will of the majority. but this
is a small matter if it secures the election ul
the remaining twenty-six, and the copse
quent defeat of Lincoln.
The resolution further provides, that in
ease the Electoral cute of the State would not
elect the cboioe of the majority, and would
elect some other Democrat President, and
therell defeat .I„ineoln, the Electoral cute
shall be east fur each candidate. This por
tion of the resolution, we {resume, was adop
ted in anticipation of a contingency like this:
Suppose that the Democratic Elootors should
be chosen, and a majority of voters declare
in favor of Dreekinridge—snppose, at the
same time, that it should appear that Douglas
could be chueen ,President by the help of
Pennsylvania, andlireekicridge could out;
in that event the Electors would DeolAigedte
vote for Mr. Duu;:itait rather then throw away
the cute ottlie State upon Mr. Beech inridga,
who could not be elected by it. This is a
hypothetical case illustrative of the possible
result of the second brench of the resolution.
Of course it might so happen. that it would
work to the iulvantnge of Mr. Breckinridg
and it is j►, poor rule that won't Work bo
ways.
We were .ntlisfted with the original proposi
tion of the Cumnaittee, and sinetrely believe
that it met with the approval of a large ma
jority of the party ; but at the same time we
are ready to accept any modification likely to
prove more acceptable. This feeling was
held in contmein with the great body of the
Committee, and upon stassembling at Cresson
there was a general disposition to conciliate
and harmonize manifested un both sides.—
The result is found in the proceelings ; we
wish to note the fact that the division on the
adoption of the resolution was not a division
between the friends of Douglas and Breekin
ridge, and that many decided Douglas mess
voted affirraatintly l and alauy decidul Brock
inridge men negatively. The absence of any
thing like a Presidential test in this vote was
one of the mast auspicious signs of uni , n,
was also the acquiescence of the minority of
the Committee in the will of the majority.
Ai far as we have been able to aicertain
public feeling, the compromise is hailed with
enthusiasm, as opening" a bright prospect
fur the defeat of the Republican candidates.
On returning from Cresson a number of mem
bers of the Committee stayed over night at
Ain:on:1 1 where as soon as the news spread,
of the favtrable result at Cresson, a sponta
neocts meeting assembled, wh:ch was address
ed by Wm. If. Weill), John W. Maynard,
Charles-I.P. Carrigan,and others: The speech
es all breathed a spirit of barmen . ), which
was cordially responded to by the audience.
The sign. era all encouraging. We hare
crety assurance that the same feeling prevails
throughout the State, and that the occupa
tion n? those who wisk_to promote division in
the Democratic ranks is about gene.

course it is only thewristtscratie darkey who

sequence, thatnll of them are fur " Massa

days since, from the Faderhind. that a rela
tive of his recently died and left Line heir to,
the snug little sum of forty thousand d liars.
The Harrisburg Pdtriot 1 Union tins hois
ted the 13reckitiridge tiag. It says : "We
shall support Mr. Breckinridge under the
resolutien adopted by the State Committee at
Cresson. If the majority of voters prefer him
for the P:esideney, he will, in the orcut of the
success of the ticket, receive the vote of the
Stale—but if Mr. Douglas is the popular
favorite, then he is entitled to that vote. We
are willing to submit to the decision of the
majority, and shall• maintain the cruise of
John C. Breckinridge before the Democracy
of Pennsylvania, believing that he has the
' gruatest claims to their suffrages."

Mr. Diehl was defetited for the Assembly
by falsehood, and fa!seihtxxi alone. It was
said that he hod voted several times against
the Catholic Tertian of our ticket. Ile never

the time ; still the report had its influence in
some portions ocOhe county. Now they want
to defeat our candidate fur Sheriff by the
some malicious lying ; but we will dettet
them at their own game before they are done.
Mr. Wulf, they ray, voted against Joseph I.
Kuhn last fall. We aill see about all this
when the time arrives. I shall be able to
give the people of Adams county all the ne

FtLLOW IItIIOCRAT3:--Ile who now takes
the liberty of ofe;ing to you, through the
columns of the Compiler. a few words of ad
vice wa..s once young, but now is Uhl, and has
seen many things in this eser changing world
of ours, but I have serer seen the Democratic
party of the glorious Keystone State beaten,
or compelled to bitti do dart, when united.
Never during the last half oeatury have
wo been vanquish° i in a puliiical campaign
when vited. hut invatio,l4Y. valen in un

Advanced aces has (or some years peat pie
vented the writer from taking an active part
in pOlitioal matters.; hat an important elec
tion now rzspitlly approaching, an election
in which the ;realm. woe of our beloved coun
try is most deeply involved, and fa my burn.
bye opinion it blemars the imperative duty of
every true Democrat of Our State, whether
old or young, to do all in his power to heal or
closo the unfortunate breach now existing iu
,
our canto, am) effect a to-union of our party,
not Only for the
. sake of our own State, but
fur the sake of our beloved e .uatry iu its en
tire length anfi breasit'i.
Surely, the corrupt legislation of our late
General Asheatbly ought to be eauso suf
ficient to induce us to make any and all sacri
&es t out incompatible with our ancient politi
cal principles, 'to hurl such a venal legisla
ture from power and elect honest and com
petent men in their strati. hit this great
reform, 3 / 4 1,3 it rtmewbered, fellow Democrats,
cannot be effeelte I by r dirided Democracy ;
nor cnn we hoe, in,our present divided con

ernor ; and IA t!Ilt, will be still mare unfortu
n tee and deeply deplored, we cannot hope,
(unless our division is lie.lod,) to defeat the
" Black IlepuLtic4n" Electo-al ticket at the
November election. It is my firm belief that
nothing can ntert the int:nine:it danger of the
greatest calamity that can Wall our belused
country, now the admiration of the world,
namely: a dismemlorment of our Union, but a
speedy re-union of the Democratic party of
this and usher Ik.mo..r.ttic States, fur teyorvl
all doubt the 0.0 tt Dr n ) , ratie p trey is this
day the sheer-anchor of our Union ; paralyze
that party nod our glorious confederacy falls.
Permit me, fellow Democrats of Pentwyl
rania, then, to ask you, can any sacrifice,
Elton of the abandonment of liberty, or of our
principloi, be too great to area the dreadful
calamity with which we are now threatened,
of hating a secti.,llsl Black Republican elect
ed to the Proidettcy at the approaching
Providential eltetinn ?
Bat, re-union of our party, and consequent
ly a happy deliverance from tho sail calamity
new so imminent, I am /sanguine can Le ef
fected without a sacrifice of any great im
portance, or injuring in the slightest degree
the integrity or well-being of the party.
Let the Democracy of Pennsylvania Se
united. for the sake of the Union, and all will
be well. And how, I ant /lAN!, eon this de
sirable end to arrived at? My answer is :
let us have bus ore Democratic Electoral
ticket in our Stale. and Le united heart and
renal en that ticket, and in despite of all oat
side opposition, we can and will triumphant
ly elect that ticket. Let those Electors be
free from any pledge as for whom they will
vote, until after the election. so that they my
be free to east the vote of Pennsylvania .for
that Deumeratie .candidatc, as the vote of
Pennsylvania, aided by the votes of ether
States, can elect to the 'Presidency, and them

METE SUCCESS:—It affords as no ordina-:
ry ples,,sure to npuouttee the ,completion of the
success
of
Gas Works, and the entire
of the job—such a success as we have rarely
heard of. The making of Gas was commenced
about 3 o'clock on Friday afternoon, and Sat
urday at the same him, the holder, containing !
10,000 feet, was . nearly or quite full. It teas
then let into the street mains, and i n . a very
short time the first blaze of coal gas was had
within our ancient borongh. Expres.,ions o f.
delight were heard on all sidc4, but which were
heightened to an intense degree after dusk when
the houses irr the several streets were bril
liantly lighted up—the gas burning as clearly
and beautifully as if manufactured in works of!
long standing. All honor to Mr. 'lzmir. every
body said, and he well deserved the commends
Lions and congratulations showered upon him
throughout the town. The success of his en- ,
terprise and capacity in the erection of these
works is recommendation enough for any man
the, world o‘er. To Mr. Witsox. his assistant,
and the rest of the employees, credit is freely I
bestowed for their efficiency in their several
branches—each contributing to the thorough
success of the undeTtaking.
' On Saturday evening our citizens were an
on the streets, enjoying the gas light as reflec
ted frt.,m hundreds of chandeliers and brackets.
A large bon-fire was kindled in the Diamond;
- soon after, stirring martial music was 111'0[104
out, succeeded by some excellent performance/31
by the Citizens' Band. Altogether it was a
memorable evening, and one not soon to be
forgotten.
The Band serenaded Mr. TfEt.ns, at about 10 k i
o'clock, and they wow:handsomely received by ;
him. Mr. Flaltie also gave an entertainment ,
to his emplOyeesand a number ofinvited friends,
at the Eagle hotel, which WAS a very pleasant
occasion to all participating.
Thus were
,the Gettpburi G 11.9 Works in
augurated.
LIGHTING TILE STREETS.—We understand
that the Town Council hare at lust ordered. Gus
Nate, fifteen, for the.SgArting of the streets, to
be placed at the following points: Pour in the
Diamond. one corner of Carlisle and Railroad
Streets, one corner of North Washington and
Railroad streets, one corner of Chambersburg
and West streets, one corner of Chamber burg
and Washington streets, one corner of West
Middle and South Washington streets, one
corner of Baltimore and Middle streets, one
corner of -Baltimore and High streets, one
corner of Taltimoreind Bres-kinridge streets,
one corner of York and Stratton street 4, one
corner of Stratton and Railroad streets, and one
corner of York and Liberty streets. There arc
loud complaints that other points equally, it not
more, important, than some of the above, have
been neglected. As the taxes of all are re
quited to defray the expense, there is much
reason in the demand that this excellent " in
stitution "—gas light—he distributed through
out the town as generally and equally as pos
sible.
