UNITED STATES SENATOR.
From the Shirleysborg(Huntingdon Co.) Herald, Oct. 25]
UNITED ST. TES SENATOR. —Now tliat it is
certain that the Republicans wilt have an
overwhelming majority in the Legislature this
Winter, and therefore control the election of
United States Senator, the question arises,
AVho shall be chosen ? and patriotic men of all
l'arties must feel themselves equally interested
in the reply.
We have seen named as a candidate,Morton
McMichael, the able Editor of The Philadd
phia North-American. Mr. McMichael is a
statesman of no mean order, and we believe
that in point of capability he is second to no
other candidate that has been or may be pro
posed. Ex Gov. Pollock is also spoken of in
connection with the oflice. Mr. Pollock was
a model Governor of our glorious Common
wealth, and is doubtless equally well qualified,
to fill the important position for which he is
named. Col. A. K. McClnre, now State
Senator from the Franklin District, is also
urged by his friends, but with little prospect
of success.
But if personal devotion to and sacrifice for
the principles of the Republican Party—resist
ance to the extension of Human Bondage and
protection to American Industry—for which
Pennsylvania has just spoken in unmistakable
terms, be any recommendation, than DAVID
WII.MOT is eminently entitled to the honor; and
we believe we speak the sentiments of the ma
jority of the Republican Party in this County
when we say that the election of no other man
will give as general satisfaction. Mr Wilmot
was an old-time Democrat, but, many years
since, declaring by his act that, like Clay, he
" would rather be right than President," he
renounced the Slavery-extending, Free-trade
policy of his Party,and enlisted under the ban
ner of Freedom and Protection. lis famous
Proviso is a " household word "with every pol
itician. In 1857, he was the Republican can
didate for Governor of this State, but, after a
manly personal effort, was defeated, partly by
the treachery of the Fillmore managers. No
Republican in the State has stronger claims
for an election to the U. S. Senate by our Leg
islature this Winter, and we do not for a mo
ment doubt that those claims will be duly re
garded.
[From tbe Williamsport Tress, Oct. 13.]
IION. DAVID WILMOT. —The life of the Hon
DAVID WILMOT is a striking example of the abid
ing fame which surely awaits the direct and
candid statesman The entire absence of equi
vocation or disguise in all his acts is his master
key to the popular heart ; for, while the peo
ple will forgive the errors of a bold and open
nature,he sins past forgiveness who deliberate
ly deceives them. Ileuce Hon. D. Wilmot
tLough sometimes defeated in his measures of
policy, always secures the respect ot his op
ponents, without losing the confidence of his
friends. He never palters in a double sense.—
The country is never in doubt as to his opinions
or purposes. Iu all the contests of his time,
his position on great public questions has been
as clear as the sun iu a cloudless sky.
As a leader in a deliberative body Mr.
Wilmot has had but few equals iu America.
Iu him intellect, persou,eloquence and courage
unite to form a character fit to command, lie
fires with enthusiasm and controls by Lis
amazing will individuals and masses. No re
verse can crush his spirit, nor defeat reduce
him to despair. Equally erect aud dauntless
iu prosperity and adversity—when successful
he moves to the accomplishment of his pur
poses with more resolution ; when defeated,
he rallies his broken bands around him,
and from his eagle eye darts along their
rauks the contagion of his own courage, De
stined for a leader, he everywhere asserts his
destiny. Iu his brief but eventful career lie
has come iu contact with men of rauks and
professions, but he never yet felt that he was
iu the presence of a man superior to himself,
in the assembly of tbe people, at the Bar, on
the Judicial Bench, in the National House of
Representatives, everywhere within the circle
of his presence he assumes and maintains a
position of pre-eminence.
Mr. Wilmot is today the representative
man of the Republican party in Pennsylvania,
and if she is true to herself, aud the interests
of her toiling millions, let him be selected as
the next United States Seuator of Pennsyl
vania. Then shall we have the proud satis
faction of knowing that the old " Keystone of
tbe federal arch" will again occupy the proud
and distinguished position among the states of
tiie Union to which she is so eminently entitled
as oue among the greatest States of this Con
federacy.
[From the Potter Journal, Nov. B.]
UNITED STATES SENATOR. —One of the issues
depending on the late State election was that
of a successor to Wra, Bigler in the U. S
Senate. We did not at any time doubt that
the Legislature would be largely Republican;
on the contrary, we rather feared the major
ity would be too large for the welfare of the
party. Too great success is apt to relax the
energy of a party ; though this is less true of
popular majorities than of representative.—
We trust, however,that the action of the Leg
islature elect will be such as to put it out of
the reach of reproach from this or any other
point of view. Many sterling men have been
returned by the people : while many of the
new members, in either House, are men of
prominence aud good repute at home, and will
doubtless serve their constituents with fidelity
and honor, while preserving their party fealty
intact. The election of a Senator will test
their party sincerity and at the same time
prove their representative sagacity. To select
a man for that post who will be an honor to
the body iu which he is to set, and at the
same time a candid, firm and unflinching re
presentative of State interests aud party prin
ciples, is no light undertaking ; ami requires
political sagacity, moral firmness and high
toued judgment in those upon the selection
devolves, above the ordinary standard of rep
resentative capacity iu these days of degenerat
ed politics and corrupted partisauism. Pennsyl
vania has no lack of men from among whom
honorable selection can be made, and we are
strong in the faith that the opportunitv will be
improved.
iii looking over the names already present
ed—names familiar alike to the nation and the
people of the State—we have no trouble to
make onr selection, and we feel no hesitation
to express our choice. DAVID Wn.MOT.thepioueer
of the principles of the Republican party in the
Halls of Congress, stands out in bold relief as
deserving the honor of leadiog in the redemption
of our State's honor and interests from the dis
grace and desolation brought upou them by
Buchanan and Bigler. In demanding this
timely recognition of his right to a seat in the
Senate, Northern Pennsylvania desires none
bnt honorable competition, and proposes no
sacrifice of the claims of others; she only asks
that he who was first to detect and expose the
Southern bias of the Democratic party, and
whose principles then laid down have become
the foundation of the Republican party, aud
in the short space of ten years have won the
support of a majority of the States of the
Union—shall be duly awarded the honor he
has so richly won. That the North is justly
entitled to the seat, and deserving of it, too,
is beyond a reasonable questioning ; and who
shall the North or West present more fit for
or deserving of the honor thanJDavid Wilmot?
There w ill be objections to him, to be sure, as
there will also be to any candidate that may
be prcseutcd ; but those objections are not
sufficiently important to prevent the recogni
tion of the many and predominating qualities
in his favor, lie will not permit his own pe
culiar views of the questions of the day to
stand in the way of the State's well-known in
terests ; neither will he lend his influence to
the benefit of the few at the sacrifice of the
welfare of the majority. Every true Repub
lican, in any section of the State or Union will
rejoice when so true a champion of their prin
ciples as David Wilmot shall take his seat in
the Senate of the United States.

TOW AJXJDJL :
Thursday Morning, November 15, 1860.
A BUSINESS WORD.
The 2Gth number of the present volume,
published on the 29th iust. will be the last is
sued by me as publisher. I am indebted to
the people of this County for election to an
office which will require all my time and per
sonal attention to fulfill its duties properly. 1
shall endeavor not to disappoint the expecta
tions of those who have elected me to office,
and have made arrangements to divest myself
of the care and labor of publishing a newspa
per. The issue of December 6th will be issu
ed by another (whose name will appear) and
I shall be, for the first time in eighteeu years,
out of the harness. I shall not sever my con
nection with the paper, as editor, but I shall
get rid of the labor and responsibility of pub
lishing it. I propose, as 1 have time and in
clination to contribute to its editorial columns,
and as I shall be none the less interested, will
have a care for its usefulness and prosperity.
The business part of the paper will be en
tirely out of my hands, and will, by my ad
vice be somewhat altered. I have tried the
system of advance payments sufficiently to de
monstrate to me, that it is the only system
upon which a paper can be successfully con
ducted, in the country. I have somewhat re
laxed the rule ; enough to know that it should
he inflexibly adhered to. The price of the pa
per—one dollar a year—is so small, that no
subscriber can be incommoded by its prompt
payment, while it is of the utmost importance
to the publisher.
One dollar per year, in advance, is better
to the publisher, than twice that price, on the
credit system—but the one dollar per year is
but half as advantageous as the hitter, unless
it is uniformly paid in advance. The advance
payment must be inflexibly enforced, or the
whole system fails. After the 6th of Pecem
■ ber, the rule will be made rigid, as the only
plan by which justice can be done the publisher.
Arrangements will be made to increase the
usefulness and general interest of the paper.—
: The local news will be more fully gathered
| and published, and attention paid to the dif
ferent departments of the paper to enhance
its value.
I have a large amount due me upon uiv
books, made up of very small items, but in
the aggregate of much importance tc me.—
My patrons will bear me witness, that a dun
has not appeared in the columns of the Repor
ter for years. I shall endeavor to settle up
i my books, receiving pay from such as can pay,
1 and freely forgiving such as can't. I hope it
will not be necessary to notify each one in
arrears. There is probably no one of them
who are not aware of the fact. Will they be
good enough to reward my long suffering und
patience by " walking up to the Captain's
office ?"
OLD ABE'S POSITION !
We notice, occasionally, that some wiseacre
i is suggesting that LINCOLN shall issue a" man
ifesto." We don't clearly understand what it
I should be for, but the general idea is that the
I South needs quieting. We suppose they want
uu assurance that the Northern hordes will
! not over-run the cotton and rice and sugar
| plantations of the "sunny south"—free the
I blacks, murder the whites, and devastate the
j country generally. Or it may be, that Old
I Abe's personal appearance has been so abom
: iuably caricatured, that the Southern people,
who were so awfully frightened in John
' Brown's time, by a cow, fancy him a terrible
ogre, whose appearance in their midst would
so frighten the children and women, as to be
followed by the direst aiid most disagreeable
consequences.
Laying oadiuage aside, we have no fear
that so sensible a man as our prospective Pres
ident has proved himself to be, will do any
such silly thing. It is not necessary either to
quiet the rautankerous Bobadils South, nor
to inform the world as to the principles by
which the next National Administration will
be guided. The Chicago platform is so full
and plain thai " he who runs may read." That
platform was not made to deceive any body,
but to elucidate the policy and purposes of
the Republican party. It cannot be constru
ed oppositely. It tells the world what the
Republican party nieaus to do, when it has
the power.
We take it, the era of white men is to be
inaugurated on the Fourth of March next.—
The Republican party will demonstrate that
there are other interests besides those of
Slavery, of some importance. There will be
no necessity for corrupting members of Con
gress and presses and politicians to uphold
the institution of human bondage ; the treas
ury of the nation will not be drained to for
ward the schemes and advance the pecuniary
interests cf the slave capitalists ; the slave
trade will not be re-opened but more vigilantly
suppressed ; and plans and schemes for the
extension, perpetuation and strengthening of
Slavery be the sole idea pervadiug all branch
es of the Government. The political uigger
will be banished from the White House, from
Congress, from the Treasury, from the Post
Office, and trom all the other branches and
departments of the Government. It will not
be necessary to believe in the divine origin
and gospel dispensation of the " peculiar in
stitution,'' to be qualified to hold office. The
prosperity of our common country, her reputa
tion at hone and abroad, and the security and
happiness of our citizens will afford abundant
occupation for the incoming administration.—
If ABE LINCOLN should issue a manifesto it
would be to declare that he intended to bring
back the General Government to the exercise
of its legitimate functions aud duties, aDd en
deavor to regain for it a reputation for hones
ty and ability. Four years from this day, the
man will pay to travel with on exhibition, who
will acknowledge that he voted against the
Itail Splitter. Mark that!
UNITED STATES SENATOR.
One of the first aud most important duties
devolving upon the newly chosen Legislature
of this State, will be the selection of a United
States Senator to take the place of lion. Wm.
BIGLER, whose term of office will expire on the
Fourth of March next. This duty, always
of great magnitude, becomes doubly so, iu
consideration of the proud position now as
sumed by Pennsylvania, by the decisive vote
she has given for the Republican ' candidate
for President, ABRAHAM LINCOLN. The days
of the BIGLERS and BROADHEADS are passed ;
the attitude of Pennsylvania and her sub
stantial interests demaud that she shall be rep
resented in the United States Senator, by men
of ability, of nerve, and of integrity, sufficient
to redeem the character of the State, and
give her the high position in influence and
power she should eommaud, as the Keystone
of the Federal arch.
The clouded condition of our political hori
zon,requires that men should be elected to the
United States Senate, who3e courage is tin
doubted, and who have the nerve to stand by
the country and the right with unshrinking
fidelity. The times call for the election of
Representative men. Hence we see, iu al
most all the Northern States, that true and
tried Senators are re elected, without a inur
iner of dissent. If Pennsylvania would spring
at once into the prominence she should oc
cupy, she must elect a colleague to our present
able U. S. Senator, who has a reputation as
wide as our country, aud whose presence in
the Chamber would because of congratulation
to the tried men all over the North, who
have fought the battle of Freedom, arid
whose triumph is the election of Li.vcc LX
We should elect as Senator the man w hose
elevation would be hailed with joy and pleas
ure by the people in the Free North, as a re
newed evidence of the ascendancy of correct
principles.
No man in this Commonwealth, represents
more thoroughly and prominently the Great
Principles which have triumphed in the elec
tion of ABRAHAM LINCOLN, than DAVID WIL
MOT. lie is completely identified with the
struggles and toil which have finally vanquish
ed all opposition, and struck down the domi
nation at.d insolence of the Slave Power.—
Since Ihe memorable proviso-year of 1840, Ju
lias followed wit h undeviating fidelity the great
principles of Free Labor. Neither the fulmi
nations of National Administrations, the se
ductions of power and place, nor the ties of
party have caused him to swerve one iota from
the plain path of duty. Pursuing the convic
tions of his judgment, party lines soon be
came as ropes of saud, and he was the fore
most amongst the gallant band, small at first,
who raised aloft the banner of Free White
Labor, and have fought under its glorious
folds through the sunshine and the storm.—
lTow faithfuHy he has advocated the cause of
Freedom, may be witnessed in this Congres
sional District, once the stronghold of Democ
racy, but which now rolls up a majority of
nearly 11,000 for the Republican candidate
for the Presidency.
In .Mr. WII.MOT'S hands the material inter
ests of Pennsylvania would have a zealousand
efficient advocate. The development of the
industry of the State, the opening up of her
inexhaustible sources of wealth, and the ad
vancement of her people in intelligence and
happiness, have ever been with him controll
ing influences. In the United States Senate
he would find many of those brave-hearted
men who early started out with him in the
advancement ol the interests of Free Labor.
We might instance HANNIBAL IIAMLIN, WM.
11. SEWAKO, PKESTON KING, KELSEV S. BING
HAM, and others, who would hail Mr. WILMOT'S
success with great pleasure, and with whom
he would at once take rank. No man could
be selected, within this broad Commonwealth,
who would meet a kindlier welcome, nor be
invested with more influence in the United
States Senate, than DAVID WILMOT. The in
terests of the State could not be confided to
safer hands, nor where they could be more
strongly urged upon the consideration of the
the Senate.
Thc articles which we publish in another
column, show how this matter is regarded in
other sections of the State. The names of
other good men have been mentioned, but uo
one has yet been brought forward, who com
bines so essentially all the requisites now de
manded.
SQf At the election in Maryland the ques
tion of enslaving the negro population of that
State was submitted to the people. The
Baltimore American thus notices the result :
" In all the counties in Maryland from which
we have received returns in which the act for
the enslavement of free negroes was submitted
to the people, the voters have emphatically
and signally denounced that unjust and un
christian law. The question has been met and
decided without any reference to party
politics, and the law defeated by majorities
amounting almost to unanimity. The result
is greatly creditable to the counties in which
the vote was takeD, and hoaorable to the
State at large."

ALLEGED FRAVPS IS BURLINGAME'S DISTRICT.
—The Boston Traveller says : The Repub
licans of ward One are confident that they
can prove that extensive frauds have been
committed in that ward, and that the extent
of this fraud alone defeated Mr. Burlingarae.
The conclusions are based 011 observations at
the polls, and on the result thus far of an in
vestigation which they are carrying on.
THE SECESSION MOVEMENT.
We have read a number of the "special
dispatches " from rorlous points in the South
which appeared in Saturday's New York pa
pers, and we are of the opinion that the dis
union increment has already reached its cul
minnting point, and that a calmer condition
of the Southern mind is gradually being at
tained. Even in South Carolina, according
to our latest accounts, the people are not so
ready for extreme measures as we were led to
infer from the first intelligence following th e
knowledge of the success of Mr. LINCOLN
and of course unless South Carolina takes the
lead, it is not probable that any oxmiaent
towards a disruption of the Union will be
made in any other quarter. A dispatch from
Columbia received on Friday, announces tba;
a bill has passed the Senate providing for th?
calling of a State Convention to consider the
subject of secession but fixing the Bth of Ja n .
uary as the day for electing delegates thereto
and the 10th of January lor the assembling
of the Convention. Tiie House may insist
upon an earlier day, but there is evidently i
disposition not to be too precipiate. From
Washington we learn that the President and
Cabinet held a meeting on Friday at winch
the condition of affairs in the Sonth was dis
cussed. President Buchanan, according to a
dispatch in the New York Times is confident
that South Carolina will leave the Confeder
acy, but not during hi term of ojfic*. Should
the issue, however, be precipitated before that
time, He believes it to be madness to attempt
coercion, as that would have the effect to dis
rupt the whole Union. It is understood
that Secretary Cobb alone excused (he ex
treme position of the Palmetto State. Tiie
hope was generally entertained that, even in
case he saw fit to secede, the cool judgment
of the best men of the South would prevent
any such action on the part of other States.—
At any rate, should South Carolina annul the
resolutions by which she adhered to the Fed
eral Constitution sh* will be Id alone by tk>
■pr-srnt Administration. It seems tint tin
rumor of the resignation of the Collector of
the Port of Charleston was untrue, but the
Federal Judge has resigned, as stated. No
effort will be made at present to fill the va ;
ranry, as the only embarrassment occasioned I
will be felt by the South Carolinaus themselves.
TRK FLECTION. — We have but little to add
to the glorious news given 'ast week, nor shall
we have nutil the official vote is known.
Lincoln gets every Northern State (Califor
nia and Oregon not heard from) except New
Jersey It is supposed fhat a portion of the
Fusion ticket voted by the straight Dougias
men, may be elected, which will divide the
electoral rote of the State between the presi
dential candidates.
If Pocot. as does not get. the solitary vote j
claimed for hira in New Jersey,he will have u
depend upon California to carry his name in
to the electoral college, as Missouri, whici I
was supposed to be certain for him, goes for
Bell.
Bell will probably pet Kentucky, Ten- j
nessee and (Jeorgia, and Breckiuridge the j
remainder cf the South.
It is almost certain that the R-publicans)
will net have a majority in the House.
