BARTHOLOMEW LAPoRTE, THE
UNION CANDIDATE FOR SURVEY
nR GFNFpaT

Mr. Laporte, Of Bradford county, was
nominated upon the ticket rs the represen-
iatiye Of the Republican wing of the great
Union party. lie is a practical surveyor
by profession, and is young man of cner-
gy and ability. His father, Judge La
porte, held the Office of Surveyor General
during the administration of Gov. Skunk
and was one of Shunks intimate friends and
confidential advisers. 1t is we'll knowG
that Governor Skunk signed the bill closing
the iails Of Pennsylvania against the South
for tue purpose Of keeping their fugitive
slaves. jesse Miller and Judge L1porte
~sre Shunk's main advisers, aud We doubt
not Influenced his conduct in regard to the
Act against Kidnapping. The son of Judge
Laporte went farther than bis father against
the aggiessions of the South, and boldly cut
loose from the pretended Democracy. and
ran up the Republican flag.
II is we'll known to every intelligent pol.
itician, that nineteen twentieths Of the old
line wings Of Pennsylvania have always
been anti slavery. They have always held
in reverence the ordinance Of Dir. Jefferson
against the extension of slavery, and the
Missouri Compromise of 1920. They OPP
posed the introduction of slavery into the
Territories conquered aud purchased from
Mexico. Hence the great majority of the
old line wings of the State always held the
doctrines of the Republican party. A por-
tion Of the old Democratic party, mainly
found in the New England States, New
York, Ohio, and Northern and North west
orn Pennsylvania, still adhered to the doc
trines Of Thomas Jefferson and opposed the
extension of slavery. When the Missouri.
Compromise aud that of 1850 was repealed,
10 gross violation of plightcd faith, aston
ishpent and indignation induced memsers
cf the old parties of the North to drop the
old party issues, and unite in opposition to
the sgsressions of slavery. The namc Of
Republican was adopted, because it is
name throughout the world devoted TO hu-
man rights and human liberty, and as such
il fully represents the great principle com
mon 10 the members of both the old parties,
who now act together in the 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 Wings of the
State He resides in sttong anti slavery
District, and is the personal and political
friend Of David Wilmot, He is man Of
good character, energy and ability. Il is
the duty of every good citizen TO sustain
him. because By SO doing they will help to-
,naintain q great principle, and will bring
into the service Of the State an excellent
public officer.

VIRGINIA CONCEDED TO FILL
MORE.

~ 81
Il seems 70 be generally conceded that
Fillmore will carry the Electoral yose Of
the cold Dominion" It viii be reeollec.-
cd that Gov. Wise was elected by only len
thousand majority, and that be himself ack-
newledged that be received at least twelva
thousand Wing votes. HIS opponent, Flour
noy, was ex'reilely objectionable to The
Whigs for various reasons. Besiles, Wise
canvassed tbe State With the most unaae.
ging energy and perseverance,. His oppo-
neni never stirred, and suffered the election
to go by default. Wise acknowledged that
had it not been for the Old Line Wings he
would have been defeated even under all
these circumstances in his fasor. Now, the
case is entirely different. Tie popularity
of Mr.. Fillmore in the Old Douliuion is al.
most boundless. His noble integrity, his
manly bearing, lis dcgotien to The Union
and the Constitution, he's Roman frrnness
il meeting tie fuzzy cf sectiona.ism and
boarding the Hydra in bis Gen, and bis Gas-
terly administration Of tie government
willie President. have tended to raise the
utmost enthusiasm il bis favor throughout
the country, and nowhere 10. a greater ex-
tent than in Virginia. The Old Line
Wings have formally declared in his favor,
aud every portion Of the State will be can
vassed with vigor and a downright hearty
good will, which will NJ, fai. to make an
impression. Under ell these favorable cir
cnns'ances we can hardly entortsin doubt
of the success Of Mr.. Fillmore in tho
