THE UNION STATE TICKET
FRIENDS OF FRETIOTr,
FRIENDS OF FlLLmonr,
OLD LINE WHIGS I
All who desire the vote of Pennsylvania to
be cast against that arch•demagogue, nod pol
itical turncoat, James Buchanan—bear in
mind that the surrnway of accomplishing such
a result is to turn out to a man on the second
Tuesday of October next and vote the
UNION STATE TICKET.
Vote for:
THOMAS E. COCHRAN,
for Canal Commissioner,
DARWIN PHELPS,
for Auditor General.
BARTHOLOMEW LAPORTE.
for Surveyor General.
Lot no lies or Roorbacks, which the fertility
of Locofocoism can invent, induce you to
withhold your votes from either one of the n•
boys Union candidates.
La nothing prevent your attendance at the
polls. Hain or shine—be on the election
ground on the second Tuesday of October
next.
Fovni Committees of Vigilance in every
township, ward and borough, to see that every
anti-Locoroco vote is brought to the polls. Get
out your teams, your horses and carriages, for
the benefit of the sick or infirm, or those rest•
ding at a distance.
Let there he a union of hearts—a union or
hands—and above all, a union of strength, in
the October contest.
We have the strongest assurances from all
parts of the State that
the OLD LINE wiliGs,
the AMERICANS,
and Out REPUBLICANS,
will give to the UNION STATE nctiiir
n cordial and unanimous support. A full turn
out cannot fail to roll up such a unjority that
Locofocuism will stand a;;linst.
Remember that as goes the State at the Oc•
tober Election, so it will go in November.
Two years ago we gave Pollock 37,000 ma.
jority—and that, two, without a single Roman
Catholic vote! We can do no well for Cock.
ran, Phelps and Laporte. We have the strength
to do much better.
October is the time to strike. Men and
brethren, let vs do it with a will, by voting in
solid columns for the onion state ticket.
'NION STATE TICKET.
We call upon all of the opponents of the
administration to support with thoir whole
power the Union ticket. The crisis demands
that we should sink all minor difficulties and
unite our forces to defeat the sham Democracy
on tho 14th of October.
The importance of electing a Congressman
true ou the great question before the nation is
too much overlooked. It is vary probable
Kansas will be asking adassion as a Slave
State, and it behooves the people to elect men
true to freedom, who will resist the insolent
subjugation of Kansas by Southern Rullinus.
Hon. J. It. Edie is sound upon thi question
an able lawyer and a man of backbone.
In reference to the Union State ticket, 1.7. Joy
Morris, in a recent speech in Philadelphia,
made the following remarks
“Mr. M. said be knew nothing no cffeetnal to
this end es the election of the Union State tick
et in October next. Having originated that
ticket himself—having for two months at liar
risburg, not winter, exerted himself to procure
its Ffllletimt by the opposition members of the
Legislature—having participated in the nom
ination of the gentlemen whose names it bore,
he knew its whole history and aim. It was fur
med fur the purpose of purifying the State go,
ernment of the corruption and mismanagement
that has so long disgraced it. As we had pla
ced a citizen of cousumate integrity at tint head
of the State, we desired to see him surrounded
by men of equal purity of principle, who would
honestly unite with him in an effort to check the
gross extravagance and the waste of public mo
ney, that had so long marked the Canal Board ;
and pther branches of the government. For
this purpose it was necessary to form a ticket
which would unite the whole opposition in its
support.
Mr. Laporte, a member of the Legisld nrc
from Bradford county, was nominated for Sur
veyor General from the Republicmt ranks.—
Hts father had filled the same office. with greet
distinction, under Gov. Shin*, and he himself
is a practical surveyor. lie is a gentleman of
sound practical ability, and I never remember,
said Mr. M., to have associated in any public
body with a gentleman for whom I formed
higher esteem. A more honorable, pure, up
right, frank-hearted and openhanded man than
Bartholomew Laporte does not lice within the
limits of Pennsylvania. He is it high-toned,
liberal, true man, worthy of the suffrages or all
who can appreciate the sterling qualities of hu
man nature.
My particular friend, Darwin Phelps, said
Mr. M. the candidate for Auditor General, is an
accomplished lawyer, with the head of a states
man, and the incorruptable temper and nature
of Cato, the Censor. His conscientious] f seri,
pulous conduct gave him great influence in the
Legislature, and though members might differ
with him in judgment on particular measures,
none dared to question his honesty of purpose,
or the sincerity of his convictions. The era of
reform will, indeed, be inaugurated, when such
a man is placed at the Auditor's bureau.—
Mr. P. was selected front the American ranks.
Mr. Cochran, the candidate for Canal Com
missioner, was well known, from his long ex.
!wiener, uu the Legislature where he had wets
himself a Stri , e reputation. Thoroughly cog•
nizant of the system of Public Improvements,
no man was better fitted to probe the abuses of
their Administration, or to correct the extrav
agant and wasteful expenditures of which they
had been the fruitful source. Mr. C. ions nom.
hinted ns an Old Line Whiy. stronge r
el, in all rev,ds, never has been placed before
the people of Pennsylvania. Its election would
not only be a political triumph, but amoral one.
Efforts were being made to draw the friends
of Mr. Fillmore front its support, because, as
woo alleged, all the nominees upon it were in
favor of Col. Fremont foe the Preside n cy.
Mr. M. had no knowledge of such a fact, but
even if it were so, it would not deter him front
voting for the ticket. Tim nominees, like hint,
were opposed to the election of James Buchan.
an—they would reform the State government
of existing abuses, and further he did not ask
of them. Friends of Mr. Fremont might refuse
to vote for low. Mr. Morris, because he pee,.
red Mr. Fillmore, bitt he rose superior to those
ditterunces about looked to principles,
and his heart and hand were with nun man
who would purify the Augean stable at Harris.
burg of the corrupt practices thut vet infest it.
"I invoke every opponent of the Pierce policy
and its pledged adherent and pupil, .Inure;
BuLloomm," said Me. M., "to vote the Lido.
State tiekel entire, as it moods, and we shall
thus inevitably defeat the Cincinnati platform
and its candidate on the 11th of October next."
(Enthusiastic cheers.) Mr. Morris closed with
some eloquent remarks in favor of the Antcri•
can party and its nominations.
HOPEWELL, October Gth, 185 G.
Messrs.EmTons
As a Stockholder of the lluntingdon & Broad
Top R. R., opposed to proscription of all shapes
and forms, on account of political or religious
differences, I should like to know whether the
Superintendent and subordinate officers of tho
Road, ere paid out of tho Railroad Fund, for
electioneering and distributing Buchanan doe
. uments along the Road to the hands; nod if so,
I would then suggest that as the American s
and Republican own perhaps two•thirds of the
Stock of the said road, that hereafter two•lhirds
of the documents circulated along, the road be
for Fremont and Fillmore.
Under the administration of former Super
intendants on this road, there was a general
mixture of all parties—then, capacity appeared
to be the only qualification necessary, but since
that time the road has been fast floating into
the hands of L ocofbco's and Foreigners, until
at this time, I believe or the one hundred cur
plovers there aro but four men left who have not
bowed the knee to Baal.
A STOCKHOLDER.
The Associate Judgeship.
Messes. Eorrous—ln view of the political
condition of cur country, and especially in our
own county, I deem it expedient to withdraw
my name as a candidate for Associate Judge.
My reason for so doing is, because anther the
Republican nor the American party has done
full justice to the lower end of the county. And
I thcrefere desire my name to be withdrawn
in order that the Republican Committee may
nominate a suitable person to fill the office fur
which I was nominated.
Respectfully yours
JONA. Mc WILLIAMS,
Stover's Place, Sept. 24, 1826.
1L• 'The Republican and American voters
of this county trill see by this week's papers
that JOHN 13nEwssit, of Shirley, hos been se
lected to fill the vacancy occasioned by the re
signation of our friend and first choice, Jr; one
McWILLIAMS. All other candidates being now
withdrawn, Patton and Brewster will receive
the undivided support of the opponents of Bil
dt.. ; and their election is certain.
It is but justice to Judge McWilliams to say
that he has labored zealously for Union on the
County ticket, and had authorized his friends
to withdraw his name if deemed expedient.—
The Committee retained his name; but no
sooner did he see the injustice done the "lower
end," than he requested his name to be wit:,
drawn. It was retained, however, till the
foresees in the lower end were happily recon
cited by presenting John Brewster's name to
fill the vacancy.

TO THE AMERICANS OF HUN
TINGDON COUNTY.
FELLOW CITIZENS I—On the eve of a momen
tous election we beg to address to you a few
words of truth nod hope. Our first duty is to
give immediate and earnest diligence to elect
the Union State and County tickets, ou the See
mid Tuesday of October. This point gained, on
the heels of a defeated and retreating foe we
will prosecute the Presidential Campaign with
new vigor. The combined and solid vote of the
American, Republican and Whits parties must
and will carry the Union State ticket by snore
than twenty thousand and n defeat like this, of
Buchanan in his own State, will at home and
abroad dishearten and disconcert. his friends
owl rain his prospects for au election. Rally
then, Americans, to the support of the State
ticket.
, Strike for your altoro and y(!nr tire,
Strike for the green graves of your sires
(led and YOUII NATI'. LAND !"
With no less earnestness do we call upon you,
American Cal.. of Huntingdon county, to
stand fast and united in support of the Union
County ticket. Occupying ns we did to a great
extent, with the Republicans of the county, the
same ground of opposition to the perfidious rale
of the present Notional Administration and to
the Buccanier doctrines of the Cincinnati Plat
form ; condemning as strongly as the Republi
cans could or did the repeal of the Alissmiri
compromise and the exactions nod pretensions
of the Skive power, and holding in whlition to
all these that other thwtrine, dear to every
American heart, ‘AnirrirAls role Americo,'
it required no ,acrdh, principle on either
side to form this Union ticket. Tile withdrawal
of come of the candidates on tho previens
was all that was necessary to egret this
union, demanded alike by the comm en interests
and the common sumo of both nod

bled in pursuance of a call addressed to
the People of the United States, without
regard to past political differences or divis•

Missouri compromise; to the policy of the
present Administration; to the extension
of Slavery into Kansas ; and in favor of
the adinission of Kansas as a Free State ;
of restoring the action of the Federal Gov

presenting candidates for the offices of Pres

j follows ;
RESOLVED, That the maintainance of
the principles promulgated in the Dec
laration of Independence, and embodied
in the Federal Constitution, aro essential
to the preservation of our republican insti
tutions ; and that the Federal Constitution
the rights of the States, and the union of
the States, shall be preserved,
Ritsor.van, That, with our Republican
Fathers, we hold it to be a self-evident
truth that nll men are endowed with inn!.
Tenable right to ''life, liberty and the pur
suit of happiness," and that the primary
object and ulterior designs of our Federal
Government were to secure these rights
to all persons within its exclusive juris•
diction ; that -- our Republican Fathers,
when they had abolished Slavery in all our
national territory, ordained that no person
should be deprived of property," without
the process of law, it becomes our duty to
maintain this provision of the Constitution
against all attempts to violate it, for the
purpose of establishing Slavery in the ter
ritories of the United States, by positive
legislation prohibiting its existence or ex
tension therein. That we deny the nu
thority of Congress, of a Territorial Leg
islature, or nny individual or association
of individuals as to give legal assistance to
Slavery in any territory of the United
States, while the present Constitution shall
he maintained.
RESOLVED, That the Constimtion con
fers upon Congress sovereign power over
the 'Territories of the tinned States for
their government, and that in the exercise
of this power, it is both the right and du
ty of Congress to prohibit in the Territor
ies, those twin relics of barbarism ) Poly
gamy and Slavery.
