TEE Wura STATE CONVENTION AND OruEn

TIE WHso STATE CONVENTION AND OTHER
PARTY CONVENTIONS Ygr TO BE HELD IN THIS
CoMMoSwEALm-Tbe Wing State Central
Committee have issued their proclamation, APP
pointing the twentieth day of September as
the day for the me ting of the State Conven-
ton of the whig party for the nomination Of
their candidates for the State officers to be
elected in November; aud they name Syracuse
as the city in which the said convention is to
assemble. According to the call, there will be
no other business before the convention than
their nominations for Governor, Lieutenant
Governor, Canal Commissioner, and State
Prison Inspector.
In connection with the aforesaid proclama-
ton, we publish today the selfcomplacent edi-
torial Of Thurlow Weed upon the subject He
throws very little light upon it, to be sure; but
our readers are welcome to his suggestions, for
what they are worth. He breaches none of
the vexed questions of the day, but expresses
his reliance in those wings whose heads and
hearts have been in the cause through all its
conflicts" What this may signify perhaps our
seeding philosopher Of the Tribune may be
able to explain. To US it is expressive Of a
lively apprehension concerning the abolition
amalgamation convention at Saratoga.
The following schedule embraces, we be-
lieye. all the party State conventions yet to be
held in this State:-
The Fusionist State Convenion-at Saratoga Springs
August 10.
The Aomr istration Party State ConTention-soft and
free so-at Sy racuae, September o.
The Temperance State Conventional Auburn, septem-
Der 81
The WhIg State OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES 90
The Native Know Nothing State ConveAtion-
thing known about it.
The wings, by meeting together the last Of
all, will have the benefit Of all the sly hints and
blunders that have been or may be committed
and soft shells by the abolition and wing alli-
ance, and by the temperance party, to say
nothing OF the Know Nothings. Undoubtedly
it was for the purpose of having birds-eye
view of the whole field that the Wing Conyen-
ton has been postponed gill all the other open
and-above board parties shall have taken their
respective positions. This is indicative Of sound
military sagacity; but still we fear that the
Saratoga concern will make an awful chasm
in the estimates Of the Wing Central Commit
tee.
With regard to the wing candidate for Gov
ernor we are all in the fog, but the Onondaga
STANDARD gives us the following list, as proba-
bly, embracing the lucky individual
William II. Seward, United States senator-term ex.
pirss next March.
Ira Harris of Albany, Judge Of the Supreme Court.
George w. Patterson, Chasauque, ex4ieutenant Gov
erDor.
william W. Campbell, of New York, OF Judge of the
Hbridgo G. spaulding of Erie, e1-M. c. and present
State Treasurer.
Myron H. Clark, Of Ontario, State Senator.
Elias w. Leayen worth, of Onondsga, ex- Mayor, ex-
member Of Assembly, and now Secretary of State.
Daniel Uuman, OF New York, candidate for Attorney
General, (silver gray
Horace Greeley, of York ex-M. c., AMI editor Of
the New York 7Tibun
Joshua A. Spenoer ex- State Senator and lawyer
erasmus B. Matteson, OF Oneida, NJ c.
James Cook, OK State Senator and Comptroller.
Henry Fitzhugh, Canal Commissioner
exit Morgan ex NJ G. and Secretary Of State.
Silas NJ Burroughs, Of Orleans, member of Assem-
bly,.
Daniel Colt, Of onondasa, exMc
Seward and Greeley are both out of the
question; for the Wing Convention, we suspect
if it does not explode, will nominate for Gov
ernor man not only acceptable to the advo-
Gates ofshe Maine Liquor law, not only opposed
to the Nebraska bill, but free from all an
tecedents calculated to excite the wrath Of the
Know NothiDgs. The fog is still thick, but we
begin to have some glimmerings of "the lay OF
the Ardo
