OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES or the BAN.


"The Wing and Opposition in Pennsylvania
have just held their conventions, and nominated
ther candidates preparatory to the State election
which takes place in October. Each side has a
| strong man in its nominee for Governor.
1.-The predominant issue relates to the Fugitive
Slave law. The Opposition candidate, Col. Vim.
Bgler, OF Clearield, stands on the ground of zeal
Gus adherence to the entire Compromise policy,
resolutions Of the most decided stamp in its favor.
They also explicitly condemned the State law
passed March 3, lS49, forbidding the Of the
iails OF the Common wealth to the eave catchers OF
| the Federal Government.
| "The Wing convention and its candidate, Cover
nor Johnston stand upon ground perfectly antago-
nstic to this They out and out for Free soil and
against the present mode Of slave catching. The
Governor himself at the last session, refused hia
| approval to bill repeating the law above men
toned with reference TO the jails. Pennsylvania,
they sny having long since abolished slavery her
SELF is hostile to its extension TO any interfer
ence with it by her State officers.
"Ths ia the question now to be discussed before
the people Of the keystone State 1t will be
with more spirit earncstncss. and ability than Of
ten enter into a canvass. Apart from the Justice
| Of their cause, the Wings united among them
selvestheir advcrsaries split into three four
inimical factions. The prospect decidedly is that
the result will teach another lesson to northern
men with southern principles
We copy the above specimen of editorial
blunders and ignorance from the New York
sive evidence in itself that Horace Greeley
is from home, and that some one has under
taken to discharge his editorial duties during his
abs senco who is not competentao do SO. We ask ii
as favor, therefore, Of the temporary editor not
again to attempt to enlightcn his readers on the
subject of Pennsylvania politics until he has a
better and more correct knowledge of them him
self.
The Wings of Pennsylvania have not yet held
their State convention, do they stand upon
ground perfectly nntagonistic to the Compromise
measures. There is no such issue, nor will there
be any such in the next gubernatorial canvass as
that described by the Tribune the dominant one.
The new -fedged editor Of that paper mistakes the
character Of the Wings of Pennsylvania, or he
would not have ventured to make the assertion
that they are out-and-out for Freesoil. The whole
article is tissue of misrepresentation and could
not very well be farther from the truth than is
No such convention has been held no such issue
has been made; no such question will be discussed;
and no such position will be assumed. The Wings
Of the Keystone State are, and will continue to be-
true to the Wing National Administration. Let
treason stalk abroad among the so called Free soil
Wings OF New York, they will look in vain to the
Wings of this State for operation in their efforts
to disorganize the Wing party and break down
President FILLMoRE's administration.
The Wings of Pennsylvania will rally in support
of the measures and policy of the present National
Administration. They are in favor, and will sus
tain the Compromise measures. They believe, with
President FILLMORE, that those measures should
be now regarded and treated "a final settle
ment Of the dangerous and exciting subjects which
they embraced;" that by their adoption "wc have
been rescued from the wide and boundless agita.
ton that surrounded US, and have firm, distinct,
and legal ground to rest upon; and that it is the
duty Of all lovers of the Union "to rally upon and
maintain that ground as the best, if not the only
means OF restoring peace and quiet to the country
and maintaining inviolate the integrity of the
Union" Believing SO, they will be the last to adopt
such an issue and such line Of policy for the can
as that so unceremoniusly laid out for them
by the Tribune. Philadelphia Netos.
