township Auditors, in addition TO the du-
ties now imposed upon them by law, to
settle annually the accounts Of the School
Treasurers of the different school dis
tricts ia this Commonwealth, and that
either party may take an appeal as is now
provided for in other cases Of settlement
Of accounts by township Auditors. Pro-
vlded, That this Act shall not apply to
the city and county of Philadelphia.
SECTION 2. That hereafter the tax i'm
posed by section thirty of the Act ap-
proved May eighth, one thousand eight
hundred and ftty-four, for the regulation

Approved May 21st, 1857.

AS this gentleman has been nominated
BY the Buchanan Democracy for the Su-
preme Bench, we will recall portion Of
his political history, which shows that he
is unworthy the votes of frcemen.
In l848 Mr.. Thompson was candi-
date for reelection to Congress in this
District The contest was warm, and the
result doubtful. There was large num-
Der of Free Soil Democrats in this Dis
trict and without the votes of them he
could not be elected. He for that pur-
pose wrote the following letter.
The Potter journal. [volume] (Coudersport, Pa.) 1857-1872, 1857-07-02

In the above letter Judge Thompson
put himself unreservedly on the platform
of the Free Sellers, and thus secured their
votes and his election. Mark the pledges
which he made to the men opposed to
Slavery extension in this District:
Il have on all occasions voted to ex-
clUde Slavery from the Territories be
longing to the United States now, and
shall coutinue to do So"
No Free Sod mau-no Republican
asked more than this. But how did
James Thompson redeem the above
pledge? He had scarcely taken his seat
in Congress when he became the most
servile tool of the Slave Power in all the
North. He not only voted to organize
New Mexico and Utah uithoct exclud-
| ing Slavery therefrom, but he voted fol
the Fugitive Slave Bill, the most odious
and most inhuman act that was ever pre-
seutcd to Congress. Judge Thompson
not only voted for this Liberty crushing
act, but as Chairman Of the Committee
which had it in charge, he called the pre-
vlous question on presenting it, and thus
put the gag on any discussion of its mon
strous injustice. Compare his conduct
on this occasion with the statements and
promises made in the above letter, and
then say if you can, that he is fit to be a
Judge CT the Supreme Court. What
can he know of justice and honor, OF
truth and equity This letter taken in
connection with his course in Congress
after he got there, shows him to be an
unprincipled, and untruthful demogogue.
If that is the stuff out of which to make
Judge, then vote for James Thompson,
the nominee of the Buchanan Conven-
tlon-if not remember him at the ballot
box, This is the first time he has come
before the freemen of this District since
he acted as the tool of Slavery in putting
the Fugitive Slave Bill through under
the crack of the plantation whip. We
shall learn in October what is thought of
such treaehery by free people.

This proYiso I of course voted for; it
passed the House, but did not pass the
Senate. In Feb. lS47, the same bill
being under consideration, containing a
Section reenacting the ordinance of 1877
which prohibited Slavery in the Territory
| voted against striking it out, and voted
against an amendment recognizing the
Missouri Compromise.
At the session of Congress that has
Just closed, | voted against the Clayton
Compromise and also against the Missou-
ri Compromise, and for inserting and re
tanning the above, reenacting the oreiin-
ance of 1877 and making it applicable tc
the Oregon Territory.
You will therefore see l have shown by
my votes, my belief in the power of Con
gress to prohibit Slavery in the Terrific
ries-I have no doubts whatever, of the
power and the right of Congress to do so
/ have on all occasions voted to ex
clude Slavery from the Territories belong
ing to the United States now, and shal
continue to do so, convinced that no com
promise is necessary either to persons, the
Union, or required by any Constitutions
mandate. | shall, as have already done
vote against all compromises by which
Territory now free shall become Slave
Territory. l may add that this is no
new doctrine to me. l have uniforml,
SO voted, on all Territorial bills and shal
continue so to do; and shall vote fo
the ordinances of 1877 to be made appli
cable to the Territories of the United
States, or of any other words of prohibi
Ftion that may be equivalent thereto.
This doctrine of prohibiting Slavery il
Territories was first introduced by me
after the acquisition of the new Territor,
and applied directly to the Territory, ye
others do not hesitate to claim much 70
adopting principle they never suggest
ed, and forget those who did SO.
Respectfully Yours,
JAMES THOMPSON.
