WIDE GULF OPENING BETWEEN THEM.-It Is
already evident that there Ii a wide gulf opening
between the two wings Of the Republican party
the conservative wing and the radical wing Out
aide Of Congress, Mr.. Weed represents the former
and Mr.. Greeley the latter. That the former have
clearly the sympathy of the President elect, Is
evident in what the New York Tribune itself has
announced concerning the composition Of the in
coming Cabinet, which Ia not to embrace single
man known to hold extreme views upon the slave
~ question. Thvsc ~LU know the relations of
those two gentlemen are well aware that Mr.
Weeds positions are those of Mr.. Seward for in
thirty years they have stood together upon all
points great or small; aud further, that Mr. Weed
has invariably been Mr. Stewards confidential adj
wiser In all that time upon every point In public
affairs requiring second thought upon his part
In determining his (Mr. Seward's) proper course
with reference to It.
Under these circumstances, II is morally limos
sible that the present significant labors OF M,
Weed for pacifcation fail to have Mr. Stewards
cordial sympathy. Nor Is il possible that with
fun knowledge Of the position and efforts of Mr..
weed In this connection for months past, that Mr.
seward would have been offered the Secretary

pared to take earnest and strong ground with the
conservative wing of the Republican party on be-

pied mainly with State affairs. He recommends
a more effective organization OF the militia the
present organized militia numbering about ,2aO
men, while the unorganized force is estimated at
2S5 600 men. No special prominence is given to
this subject The Governor argues at some length
In defense Of his course in refusing the requisi-
tions of the Governors of Kentuck Ky and Tennessee
for persons accused Of aiding In the escape of
fugitive slaves. He discusses the secession CUES
ton. denying the right Of any State to secede at
pleasure, and affirming that Ohio remains loyal to
the Union and the Constitution. He suggests the
repeal of the obnoxious features of the fugitive
slave law, and the repeal of any personal liberty
bills subversive Of the fugitive slave law would
thus be secured; at the same time the Southern
States should repeal their laws in contravention
OF the constitutional of citizens of free states
who cannot be satisfied with less, and who will
insist upon their constitutional rights in every
State and Territory in this Confederacy These
they cheerfully accord to Citizens of Southern
States Determined TO do no wrong, they will
not contentedly submit to any wrong, and are
unawed by threats. They demand the employ
ment OF all the constitutional powers Of the Fed
eral Government to maintain and preserve the
Union-rejects the whole theory Of State secession
as palpable violation of the Constitution and
cannot consent to the exercise of any power unless
under Its sanction. The integrity Of this Union

The LATE GATHERING AT HARPER's FRRRY.-
In the Sta, Of yesterday 1t was stated that the
night previous there was gathering Of armed
people, principally from Charlestown and Mar
tnsburg, at Harper's Ferry, to prevent the U. g.
troops from taking possession Of the Government
property there. We now learn from gentleman
direct from Martinsburg and the Ferry, that those
who gathered there, as explained above, were
not armed, and that none Of them were from
Martinsburg; and further, that the inference that
that II was their purpose to interfere with the
Governments possession Of Its property at Har-
per's Ferry, was by no means warranted by tine
facts. Curiosity was probably the moving cause
Of the gathering in question.
