Opposition State Convention.

We publish above the call ior d State Com
vention 10 be held in Harris burg, on Wcdncs-
day, toe IIth day OF July next, Tor the purpose
OF nominating State Officers and the tranSac-
zion Of such other business as the exigeucies
may demand. In remarsins upon this call,
the Harrisburg TsIeyraph says that the ground
upon which action is desired, and co-opcra-
ton invited, is broad and comprehensive.
There is in 1t no policy broached that should
not secure for il a hearty and generous re-
Sponsc, and that IS not eminen,ly Just, conser-
vatire and national.
In the next State contest, the result will be
upon the issues forced upon the people by the
Kansas policy of the Administration, and
will be deemed, both at HON" and abroad,
either as an endorsement or condemnation OF the
Presidents course. As 10 the sentiment Of
the people of the State, there can be no mis-
rndrrstaUding-it Is overwhelmingly opposed
10 the Lecompton swindle; and were the d.
rect issue presented 10 them, there would be
a decided rebuke given, by their decision, 10
the political toadies Of the North who have
aided the South in foiSting upon the people Of
=
choosing, and entalllug upon the country at
large all those evils which have grown out Of
renewed and unnecessary agitation. All,
then, whatever may have been their political
procliviiIes, who are opposed to the Admin
istraiion policy, should rally upon the broad
platform presented by the call. The time has
gone by for hair-splilting adhereEces to the
rames or tenets of party. Political Dcmoc-
racv has drlted far from its ancient land
marks and in its confession of faith presents
TO us diScIp pies hut ono creed, and that is SUE
ssRvIE,Cr TO THE SLAVE POWER. The Kan
saS policy of the Administration is the en-
todimenI Of that creed, and upon it the Pres
ideuts party have staked their all. Those of
the Democracy who were compelled to take
issue with the President upon this Kan >asism
have been denounced, and forced without the
pa'es of the party; and their acquiescence in
Mr.. Buchanan's policy is now boldly announ-
cci as the only condition upon which they
can be again taken into fellowship.
In view of these things, then, the importance
of union of all citizens opposed to the Le-
compton swindle must be apparent; and the
hope is expressed that there may be an action
corresponding with the universal sentiment of
the Opposition. The queStion-and the on
IL one-inyolved in the approaching canvass,
IL. Shall PENNSYLVANIA endorse the series of
outrages which have been perpeirated by the
Administration, at the bidding Of the Slave
oisarchy, upon the people Of Kansas! Or
Shall our proud old Commonwealth, in re-
Spouse 10 The heartfelt sentiment of her peo-
pie, speak out bold and Indignant rebuke ?
These are the views, as near as We can gath.
or them, ofihe entire Opposition to the Ad-
minisiraiion policy with regard to Kansas;
and such are the inducements which will be
urged for a thorough organization.
!ShaH are dieiide and be defeated, as nee
hare been for three gears pastP or shall roe
unite ard be pictorioHs, as hey dill his
Spring IN Philadelphja, and rs are did in
,siS and in 1851? Shall are quarrel,
and again elect otier mea like Bachanan i?
or shall ue harmonic, and cgain elect
n.sn Ike Taylor and Ike Pollock !?
We speak for li,tle Union, and say that she
VIII hail This united effort with rapture, and
will present-as She has ever done-a united
front against common foe 10 Policy and
