2ts Wig State Conreation at Loncaster-IT1ois
10 Be NOMINATED Gorga1,-Vho for the Presi-
dewey?
THERE'S much speculation afioa, here just now, as
TO what the Wing State Convention that is to meet
at Lancaster next Tuesday, may DO. The truth
IL, the whig party in Pennsylvania, at the present
writing, are in queer fix. The mass, the great
mass, Of the whig party, in this state, sound to
-sa core upon the compromise question; and two
tbirt- Of the convention-I ght safely say three
Sourths including the entire delegation from the
city and county Of Philadeiphia-wil g to Lsn-
caster with the intention cfincoporatng distinctly
that principle in the platform Of the party. And
- you must not be surprised if n,t one word pro
or cc-, Is uttered upon the subject.
Governor Johnston, who Is alone spoken o. as
candidate for collection, is strongly tinctured with
fvre soilism. lie has recently, upor two oeca-
sions, in his public speeches declared that the
Union u not, and has not been, In danger and
hence, NJ ms,.er Of inference, no eonces.
ZION wss .eccssery 70 the South, AMI the
rassHSp Of the Compromise bill q moral or po.
3f~al blunder lie still retains tho bill passed by
Uur Legislat1re repeating the law relating to fugi-
tive slaves. Gov. Johnston, therefore, 4 en-
deayofiDg 70 effect two objects in the coming con
sention- ono, the non-com initial policy, regards
the Compromise ard the other the nomination of
General Scott for the Presidency; and il would not
astOnish me much ifhe and biz friends were to
~ both points. lie has stated that If the couvcn-
ton pass compromise resolutions. be will not be a
candidate, and hopes, with good reason, b. this
uethod q drive many Of the delegates into his
views. lie will be aided in this by the North fnc.

may be passed. and / believe that. although Gen.
