isssc Reed Of that town who was nominated "a,
Governor. Reed is smooth. spoken old WIFI
and dear lover of place. He was Farley's prsds.
cessor in Congress, and allowed himself Ia
be chiseled out Of a denomination which Ia
might have bad when Farley was nominated.
Farley persuaded Reed that there was no kiaa
of chance Of an election and that therefore hs
(Reec) might as well stand aside and let hin
Farley have the glory of run. Reed w.s
oily and slipped out TO wait for a better chance.
While Farley by an extraordinary run of lack
slipped n IL almost killed Reed. Bat he was
partially cOnso,d by the Wing nomination for
Governor last year, and Las stood by with his
dish right side up ever since. We fear he will
catch no porridge this time.
Beside the men who appear in the record Of
the proceedings of the Convention, there are q
number of other very conscientious and very
straight Wings in the State who are too yirtu-
Gus to go with the existing Anti-Nebrasks Re-
publican party, and who figure each in his own
way in the movement. There is Mr.. Getchell of
Somerset County, who was Gov. Crosby's Land
Agent, bat whom Gov. Morrill, did not keep ia,
and who himself therefore don't keep in with
Gov. Morrins party but Indignantly posts %
this straight Wing Convention aud sgnallzes his
inconsolsbe CONDITION by aiming to reiustate
the Nebraska Loco FOcos along with his illustri-
Gus compeers, Of whom those We have named
are samples. There Is also NJ. Poor, editor Of
that Tremendous newspaper called The State Of
Maine, whose places have never equsled hls
n, hi in No tV stv
that does Mt recognize his personal merits.
We may say in brief without going into fur
thtr detail, that the character of the late NJ sine
straight Wing Convention may be fairly gathered
from our sketch IL is lamentable specimen
of spleen and discomfort and disappointment
and spite and little personal reyenges, to which
we take no pleasure in calling public attention.
We only do it because it seems to be part Of
our duty to expose the wiring in and wiring cut,
and the petty motives of men who mean mis-
chefand challenge criticism by their public con-
duct. They indulge in a ilagraat attempt to
delude wtll-meanDg persons by false pre-
lenses, which in commerce would take the
operators to the penitentary. These men.
who are calling themselves straight Wings"

Anti Nebraska candidate for Governor in Maine,

too much of Democrat, do it with the
sole object of electing the regular Nebraska
Democratic candidate and thus contributing
to the reinstatement of that party, and the
betrayal Of the interests of Freedom into the
hands of the slave Oligaichy. To be guilty ofsuch
conduct is to eNtOrt reprobation If open Ne
