A Pure Douglas Electoral Ticket in Pennsylvania. - In answer to a multitude of letters (which we are utterly unable to publish) demanding a pure Douglas electoral ticket in this State, pledged against the disunionists headed by Breckinridge and Lane we are authorized to state that Richard J. Haldeman, the member from Pennsylvania of the National Democratic Committee, appointed by the regular National Democratic Convention, will, under instructions from that Committee, address letters to the different candidates for electors, appointed by the Reading Convention, demanding of them an explicit answer whether they are in favor of the nomination of Douglas and Johnson for President and Vice President. If they shall refuse to answer, or shall answer in favor of the disunionists, then their names will be stricken from the roll and others substituted.

We are also desired to state that it is intended to call a Democratic State Convention - whether a delegate or a mass Convention hereafter to be determined - which body will proceed to fill any and all vacancies on the electoral ticket. It ought to gratify the friends of Judge Douglas to know that he himself, cordially sustains the policy of having no connection, direct or indirect, with the disunionists; that he desires above all, and most of all, to maintain the position in which he has been placed by his record and his nomination, and also that he can enter into no coalition with disunionists in the free States who insulted and degraded those gallant men in the Southern States now fighting for the National Democracy, and for the old fashioned principles of the Democratic party against a banded oligarchy intent upon the destruction of the Union. No true friend of Douglas in Pennsylvania or elsewhere can touch an electoral ticket which contains upon it the single name of a Breckinridge disunionist. Even one out of the twenty-seven electors would disgrace a Douglas ticket, precisely as a single drop of subtle poison thrown into a goblet of pure and crystal water might render the whole a deathly potion. - Philadelphia Press, July 9th.
