THE _STATE TICKET. The union in Pennsylvania, on the State election, is now peo . ect, the gen tlemen put in nomination at the Union Convention in March baying been unanimously accepted by the separate conventions Of the .4rpericaus - and -the Republicans. That Union Conven tion was an admirable movement, as a preliminary step in the greater Union which will he consummated this day in Philadelphia. Its moral effect was felt.throughout the country. Thomaq E. Cochran. of York coca. ,ty . , our canclidato for Canal Commis sioner,is an "old line" Whig, who is with us cordially on the great ques tion. He is a gentleman of the high est character for probity and business talents. Darwin Phelps, of Armstrong, can didate .for Auditor General, is an American, and at the same time as good a Republican as can be found . anywhete. He is eminently qualified fur the office; a matt of the purest moi•- .al character, a good speaker, and one ,whoso voice has been and will be heard often and effectively in the cause of Freedom. Iris report in the House of Representatives at the last session, on the subject of the right to trans port Slaves through Pennsylvania, won for him a high reputation as a logician and jurist, and as a champion for the right. Bartholomew Laporte, of Bradford, candidate fir Surveyor General, is a, Republican, with democratic antece dents—a gentleman of excellent character, both in moral worth and fitness for the office. Mi. Laporte will bring great strength to the ticket and to the cause of Freedom in the Northern counties where ho is well and favorably known. Thus hay the State been well and happily divided both geographically and politically, and all the candidates are eminently wo• thy of our confidence and support. We can elect that ticket.—Pdtsburg Gazette. A VOICE FROM MAINE When Mr. Hamlin, Senatiir from Maine, - asked to be erceused from ser ving as Chairman ofthe Committee on Commerce, be said, for the nine ytiars lie had held a seat inthe Senate, he had almost been a silent member. Upon the subject that had so much agitated the country, he had rarely uttered a word. He loved his country more than be loved any party—trial e than anything that could agitate and diliturb its har mony. Although he believed the re peal of the is:l.'llli Compromise was a great moral and political wrong, unequalled in the annals of the legis lation of this country, and unequalled in the hittory of almost any country— still, with a desire to promote harmo ny, concord, and brotherly feeling, he tat quietly amid all the exciting de bates which led to that result, and op pose" it not by his voice but by a con stant, steady and annum vote—net only in accordance with his own con victions, but in aecor t lance with the instructions of his Legislature, passed by almost a unanimous vote, but the thing was done in violation of the solemn pledges oldie President of the United States in his inaugural ad dress. rkince, however, that wrong, had been endorsed by the Cincinnati Con= vention in its consummation and its le:tilts, he felt it his duty to declare that he could no maintain party associations with any party that insis tcd upon such doc:rines, and could support no man tOr President who avowed and recognized theee doe t!ines, and whatever power God had endowed him with, it should be used in the coming contest iu opposition to that patty.
