The Republican Congressional.

Then there arose three rousing, deafening cheers for Lincoln, tho next President of these United States] Lane, tho next Governor of the proud old State of Indianaand White, the next Representative in Congress from the 8th Congressional District.

•Pennsylvania Fusion. The telegraph tells us that the Democratic State Committee of Pennsylvania met at Cresson on Thursday afternoon and after some debate and resistance adopted a resolution to the following effect that the electors already nominated should be retained if they pledged themselves to cast the vote of the State for Breckinridge or Douglas, according as either had the best chances of election if any other Democrat had abetter chance of election then thev should cast the vote for him, but if no Democrat had any chance of election then the votes should be cast for the candidate having the largest number of the popular vote.— The proposition is substantially that which the Douglas men objected to when first-offered, and it remains to be seen whether they are better, disposed now than heretofore to surrender everything they have fought for. The Central Committee have always been in favor of the plan they have now adopted, but the Douglas party have steadily rejected it.—Ind Journal.,
