the representative of the old line Whigs of

lie is a gentleman of deeided talents, en
ergy and experience in public life. Ou all
the great questions that have ariseu from
day to day and divi ied the old parties of j
the country, on the questions ot Batik, !
Tariff. Internal Improvements and Slavery, '
Mr. Cochran has always been found acting
with the old line Whigs. lie has been |
identified with them through the fiercest !
parly contests and all Lis feelings and syiu- \
patbies are wi:h them.
Our public works are now in a very bad
condition. They are not kept in good re
pair: the competition of the Central Rail
read has greatly injured their business, and
tear after year will, in all likelihood, find
them in a worse condition and more bur
densome to the finances of the State, un
less some measure be devised by which bus
iness can be brought back upon them, or bv
which they can be leased or sold under fa
vorable conditions to the State. The peo
ple CHU hope for uo reform of abuses from
the Locofoeo party. They have fallen in
to su.h a habit of sinning, that reform
seems to be impossible even if they had the
inclination, and the experience of more
than twenty years of Democratic misrule
< n the Public works proves that the incli
nation to be honest is alwiys wanting in
that party. Mr. Cochran is too well kuown
to need eulogy, and he has too much sense
and 100 Utile vuuity to care much about it.
Suffice that he is an old line Whig, fit tu,
reliable, talented and consistent. As Ca
nal commissioner, ho will infuse energy and
fiesli order into our Public works, and wil
lingly assist ia the execution of all plans
by which the tat payers can be freed from
what has become an incumbrance aud a
nuisance.
THE HON. DARWIN PHELPS, OF
ARMSTRONG COUNTY.
This gentleman has been placed upon
the Union ticket for the important office of
Auditor General as the representative of
the American portion of the combined par
ties. Mr. Phelps is & native of New Eug
-1 md, 'although he has, for a period of some
twenty-five years, been a rcsidPDt of the
lovrn of Kittunning, iu Armstrong county.
Mr. Phelps is a lawyer by profession, and
has by industry, houea ty aiid good
habits acquired an excellent practice, and
attained a prominent position at the bar of
Western Pennsylvania.
Tie privite character of Mr. Phelps is
without any reproach. He is prudent, so
ber and decent. The desire of uiskiug
money, one that is just and laudable in a
poor man, unver led him to acquire one do!"
lir unjustly or dishonestly. He basal
ways from disposition desired the good will
of his fellow eitizaos, but has never been
II demagogue of. office hunter. Mr. Phelps
was elected to the Legislature from Arm
strong county, and sat in the lower House
daring the session of 1856. He was a
quiet efficient, laborious member, and was
geucraliy respected for his unostentatious
talents. Mr. Montgomery, of Montour
county, made a report to the Houne, in
which tic argued that Southern men had a
right to bring tbeir slaves into Pennsylva
nia, and travel or sojourn with them in the
with darn ir, the State Mr. Puelps made
* learned stAl luminous report against that
f Montgomery, in which ba proved that
the arguments of that gentleman were
wrong, an i established his own reputation
as a sad a statesman.
Mr. Pnelps has always been a politician
of the Whig school and as an evidence of j
the purity of his principles, he was a Whig
in Armstrong county when that county
£*vo 1,000 and 1,200 of a Democratic ma
jority, His temper is such, and his habits
<*f self-government so great, that be never
Permitted the warmth of bis political feel
ings to carry hind into any intemperance of
word or deed; but ho was always firm and
decided j n the assertion of his opinions,
unpopularity and op
position.
A Wcckly Pa V er ' DeT °ted to Literature, Politics, the Arts, Sciences, Agriculture, Ac., Ac—Terms: Two Dollars per annum.
As the conduct in life of Mr. Phelps bus
always been governed by fidelity to his own
convictions, so when the American party
was organized, Mr. Phelps connected him
self with it. That he did so honestly and
j sincerely, there can be no doubt. He is
not ambitious, and office was not his motive.
| He is neither poor, nor yet avaricious, and
! money was not his motive. Ail those who
know Darwin Phelps will be convinced that
when he joined the American party be did
so under the impression that he was joining
a party under whose auspices the influence
of true religion would be advanced, and
correct principles of government vindicated
Hostility to Rotuau Catholicism and foreign
influence was as much a part of his honest
convictions as hostility to ignorance and
intemperance.
The office of Auditor Qonetai is one of
the most important to the commonwealth,
and it is one that peculiarly requires a
knowledge of the laws, habits of close in
vestigation, industry, and a character o'
stern and unbending integrity. The ac
counts of all our public officers arc exarn
ncd there and finaliy settled, and iutelli
geuCc, integrity and business habits, should
be united in the person of Auditor G metal.
All these qualities are found in Mr. Phelps
and he ought to be sustained by every
American, by every good citizen, and by
every good man iu the Commonwealth.
jBARTHOLOMEW LAPORTE. THE
| UNION CANDIDATE FOR SURVEY
OR GENERAL.
Mr. Laportc, of Bradford county, was
| nominated upon the ticket as the represen
i ta'ivc of the Republican wing of the great
Union party. He is a practical surveyor
! by profession, aud is a young man of ener
;gy and ability. His father, Judge La
: porte, held the office of Surveyor General
j during the administration of Gov. Shuuk,
! and was one of Sbuuks intimate friends and
: confidential advisers. It is weli known
J that Governor Shunk signed the bill closing
the j tils of Pennsylvania against the South
for the purpose of keeping their fugitive
slaves. Jesse Miller and Judge Laporte
were Skunk's main adviser*, aud we doubt
not influenced his conduct iu regard to the
Act against kidnapping. The son of Judge
Laporte went farther tlnn his father against
the aggiessions of the South, and boldly cut
100.-c from the preteuded Democracy, and
ran up the Republican flag.
It is well kuown to every intelligent pol
itician, that nineteen twentieths of the old
line whig 3of Pennsylvania have always
been anti slavery. They have always hold
in reverence the ordinance of Mr. Jefferson
against the extension of slavery, and tbs
Missouri Compromise of 1820. They op
posed the introduction of slavery into the
Territories conquered and purchased from
Mexico. Hence the great majority of the
old line whigs of the State always held the
doctrines of the Republican party. A por
tion of the old Democratic party, mainly
found in the New Englaud States, New
York, Ohio, and Northern and North west
ern Pennsylvania, still adhered to the doc
trines of Thomas Jeffersou and opposed the
extension of slavery. When the Missouri
Compromise and that of 1850 was repealed,
iu gross violation of plighted faith, aston
ishment aud indignation iuduccd mourners
of the old parties of the North to drop the
old pirty issues, and unite iu opposition to
the aggressions of slavery. The name of
Republican wa3 adopted, because it is a
name throughout the world devoted to hu
man rights and human liberty, and as such
it fully represents the great principle com
mon to the members of both the old parties,
who now act together in tho Republican or
ganization.
Mr. Laporte, of Bradford, is a fair and
worthy representative of those anti slavery
Democrats who have coalesced with their
former opponents, the old line Whigs of the
Stato. 110 resides in a sttong anti slavery
District, and is the personal and political
friend of David Wiltuvt, He is a man of
good character, energy and ability. It is
the duty of every good citizen to sustaiu
him, because by so doing they will help to
maintain a great principle, and will bring
into the service of the State an excellent
public officer.
MARYLAND SURE FOR FILL
MORE
The editor of tba Baltimore Clipper, is
confident that Maryland will go for Fill
more. In a leading article on the subject i
1)0 says:
"Wo are happy to bare it in oar power,
from what we consider data that ean be re
lied upon, to state tbat all is well in Mary
land. We are not of the kind who allow
their desires to run away with their judge
ment, and think that we are speaking with
in bounds when we say that Buchanan ean*
not carry over six counties in the State,
while the probabilities arc that he will not
get moae than four. The rank and file of
the old whig party will march to the ballot
box en masse in November next, and cast
their votes for Fillmore and Douelaou; the
only defection to Buchanan worth speaking
of, among this class of our citizens, being
confined to a few disappointed office-holders
office -seekers, and would-be icadeis, who
vere an incubua to the whig party in its |
days ot might, aud may now bo considered j
as fungus excrescences most happily lopped
off. The State of Maryland is good for 5,-
000 majority for Fillmore and Donelson.
"Let other States do • they please, Mary
land will vote for Fillmore."
! "UNDER NO OBLIGATIONS TO OLD
LINE WHIGS."
So says Mr. James Buchanan, no longer
Jau.es BuchanaD, but the Cincinnati Plat
fortn, bucaneering, filibustering, and all*
That is, Mr. Buchanan is never to pay for
service an old line Whig. But cannot the
old line \\ bigs remember that they are un
der "no obligations" to Mr. James Bu
chauan! But they arc under "obligations"
to him. They can yet return a Roland for
his Oliver, their only debt to liitn.
Clay and Webster were undoubtedly as
much the leaders revered and distinguished
leaders too of the Whig party, when it was
a party, a noble party, too, (the Democrats
now say) us Hamilton and Marshall were
the leaders of the old Federal party, of
which at its dissolution, Mr. James Bu- i
chanan was a member.
What were the opinions, latterly so much
perverted aud misrepresented, entertained
by the two loaders of the Whig party, of
Mr. James Buchanau? Let them speak.
After having given General Cass a rub
in a pricr letter, iu one to Dauiel Ullmau,
dated Ashland, June 14th, 1851, declaring
he did not wish ever agaiu to be brought
forward as a caudidatc for the Presidency.
Mr. Clay expressed his opinion that Gcnl.
Cass has quite as much firuiuess, and much
more ItuueMy ;uil sincerity, itian Mr. Bu
chanan. On his death bed, it is well
known to his frieuds around it, Mr. Clay
forgave all bis enemies, excepting only Mr.
Buchanan, and perhaps, Amos Kendal.—
Them ho had declared he could never for
give. "I have forgiven Mr. Buchanan
once," he said, "but 1 cannot forgive him
a second time."
Is uot this known to Mr. Buchanan?—
His present political allies have invaded tho
sanctuary of the dead in the charge that
the now uudeuiable defamation of Mr.
Clay, the bargain, intrigue aud corruption
story originated with General Jackson; but
he has stated, on his dy'Ug bod, that James
Buchanan pioposed the bargain to him, on
the pretext of fighting the intriguers with
their own weapons. General Jack sou de
clares lie rejected as an honest man Mr.
.Buchanan's corrupt proposition. \\ hat
true Democrat of that period disbelieves
the solemn statement, made iu writing, by
General Jaeksou.*
Dauiel Webster to Mr 01 ay, in a letter
dated 2?oston, July 24, 1827, referring to
the bargain story, wrote:
"I have a suspicion (why that suspicion?)
that the respectable member of Congress,
(the proposer of tlie baigaiu to Geueral
Jackson, as he also wt to Mr. Clay) is
'Mr. Huchanau. If this should turn out so
it will place bim in rather an awkward situ
ation. (Prophetic?) Since it seeuis he
(Mr. James ifuchauan) did record such a
bargain with your fricuds, on the m.-p'cion
that such a baigaiu had been proposed on
that part of the friends of Mr. Adams."
Au assertion wholly unsustained by proof
up to this day. It is immaterial who origi
nated the slander.
Surely, Mr. Cboate, the special friend of
Mr. Webster, did not know of this lette l '
from bim relative to Mr. 2?uchanan.
Some of the old line whigs by this time
have probably discovered they went r>vc r
too soon to one held iu such low estimation
by Clay and Webster —one, too, who wil l
not be under any ''obligations" to them.r—
If Mr. Buchanan should countenance the
Whig deserters, it is not evideut he would
be deserted by the old liue Democrats?—

TENNESSEE ALL ALIVE FOB

\ correspondent of the New lot'k Express

date of September 6th, says:
The largest aud most enthusiastic politi
cal meeting ever held in the State of Ten- |
nesaec, has closed its glorifications aud de
liberations here.
Every county in E ist Tennessee was rep

BLOODY T RIOT IF BALTIMORE!

Baltimore, September 13, 1856.
One of the most bloody and desperate
encounters that ever occurred in this city
took place last evening in the neighbor
hood of Federal Hill. It commenced iutLe
evening and lasted until midnight, during
wuich the wildest and most intense excite
ment prevailed in every part of the city.—
Several of the Fillmore and Donvl-on Clubs
had arranged a pleasure party for the quiet
enjoyment of pleasure and social recrea
tion. While conducting themselves in a
moot orderly manner, they were assailed by
armed gangs of ruffians, shouting the rally
ing cry of "Buck and Brock." The sur
prise was both sudden and effecrud. Bo
torc the Americans could defend themselves
several of their number had fallen as >en
fice to the blood-thirsty Moloch of the For
eign Democracy. 'J he Americans conduct
ed themselves with the calm courage of
martyrs, and although they soon perceived
that they were to b- assassinated for no oth
er reason than that they wete American
citizens and devoted to the country of
their birth, they defended themselves brave
ly.
Two persons wore instantly kiiled, named
John Hare ami William Jones.
About sixty persons wore injured, many
of whom will linger in torment for
A large number of women aud children
who were quietly enjoying tho recreation of
the occasion, were shockingly wounded and
mutilated. Many of them will die.
Many of the slain are among the nn'sf
respectable citizens of Baltimore.
Prominent members of the American
Party are active iu obtaining aid for the suf
ferers. *
Crowds cie gathered at the corners dis
cussing ri.e calamity aud expressing sympa

made, but the greatest offenders have escap

VIRGINIA CONCEDED TO FILL
MORE.
It seetns !o be generally conceded that
Fillmore will carry the Electoral vote of
the ' Old Dominion." It. will be reeollect
, d that Gov. \\ ise was elected by ODIV tan
; thousand majority, and that he himself ack
nowledged that he received at least twelve
thousand Whig votes. His opponent,Flonr
noy, was extremely objectionable to the
V big* for various reasons. Besides, Wise
canvassed the State with the most unflag
ging energy and perseverance. His <>ppo
; ncnt never stirred, and suffered the election
to go by default. Wise acknowledged that
: had it not been tor' the Old Line Wtiigs he
would have been defeated even under all
I these circumstances in his favor. Now, tho
i case is outirely diSireiit. The popularity
| of Mr. Ftliujore :a the Old Dominion is al
most boundless. His noble integrity, hia
manly bearing, his devotion to the Union
and the Constitution, his Roman firmness
ju meeting the fury of sectionalism and
bearding the Hydra iu his den, and his asas
teily administration of the
while PiesidouJ- have tended to raise the
utmost enthusiasm in his tavor throughout
the country, and nowhere to a greater ex
tent than in Virginia. The Old Line
Whigs have formally declared iu his tavor,
ai.d every portion of the State will be can
vassed with a vigor and a downi igbt hearty
good will, which will not fail to make an
impression. Under all these favorable cir
cumstances we can hardly tntortrdn a doubt
of the success of Mr. Fillmore in tho
