The Difficulty Settled

mittee was prompt and to the point. After
mature deliberatidn .the . friends of .Douglas' and.
Breckinridge agreed to stippOrt the present elec
t Oral ticket; excepting one of the 'Senatorial
eleCtots,.;who is to be omitt,ed,•and the name of
Breckinridge . or Douglas, substituted, as . the vo'-
'ters mity prefer, and the eleetoral vote of th'e -
State to be.cast for the one having the greatest
:number:. ,:This Will enable; the whold Demo
cratic party Of the State . to vote as a unit, and
it is precisely what every man' who did 'hot
prefer Lincoln as his second choice desired.—
The .re,sult will also.settle a muchdesired point,
and that is, whether Douglas or Breckinridge is,
atongest-in Pennsylvania. . • . •
This proposition was made by the friends, of
Douglas, and accepted by the &feria of •Breck
inridge, and was supported and' opposed by
about an equal proportion of each, and so far
as. we' have seen and.heard, it has met with the
•unanimotts approbation of the party. • . .
And why should•it not?. It is perfectly.. fair
and, equitable. Every: real Democrat in the
'State Must Prefer•the .election of either' Brack
inridge or Douglas to Lincoln. •This arrange
ment enables ,Ar,r. soon to unite and vote for
the same elebtors, without sacrificing any feel : .

may all regret. the, present unfortunate , condi
•tion of our party—the' failure. 9f .the National
Convention to make a nomination that would
