WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP.
Amiablity, Oh La The Fillmore leaders
of Pennsylvania who have so far refused to
sell out bag and baggage the Fremont man
ayers, are being quite as ioundly abused by
the presses in the interest Of the latter In all
the non-slaveholding States, as not long since
they were abusing the Democratic managing
men Of that region. The P.RnsylvA MIA Re-
publican State Committee have just issued
an address detailing the circumstances III der
which their late coalition State ticket was
adopted ard supported, and the version OF
those under which the Fillmore State commit
tee refuse by vote of twenty to two to coalesce
ticket. In tie course of that manifesto they
pay the Film ore State committee the follow
ing compliments. Viz:
Gall that could be done by the chairman
Of the American State Committee and his CO.
adjutors in the Democratic ranks, to give the
electoral vote of Pennsylvania to Mr. Buchan-
an, by secret sidedoor combination with the
friends OF that gentleman, to divide the
plished. The proposition Of the 9th Of Au-
gust was evidently designed 20 enbroil the
American and Republican parties "A every
county where they had united on Assembly
and Congressional candidates. and thus aid
the Democracy to an overwhelming victory.
For what ether object did the chairman OF the
American State Committee place himself In
mnunication with Mr.. Forney? Whether
that gentleman accepted an invitation TO slip
in at the sidedoor of Mr.. Sanderson, or whe-
Their Mr.. Sanderson slipped in at the sidedOor
Of Mr. Forney, is net certainly known Why
Mr.. SandeYson should invite a secret sidedSOr
interview, and shrink back from fair, open
and hoporable conference, can only be sur
missed. Although chairman Of the American
State Committee, it is well understood that he
was never connected with the American Or
kaniIation, and under other circumstances a
sidedoor effort on his part to ennlhilate it
would perhaps subject him to no reproach !;
but why he should participate in the concoc-
ton Of a scheme TO Illustrate and defeat the
well known wishes and purposes Of that party
after il had so far honored him with its conf
dence as to place him at the head Of its State
Committee, is a question which must be set
tied By tbOse who have been betrayed.
