From the Republican Compiler,
THE NEXT GOVERNOR.
We solicit attention to a few fucts,
for the truth of which we appeal to
the friends of Mi Gregg. y
It is a fac, that Simon Snyder was
nominated @s a candidate for the of
fice of Governor, by a «legislative
caucus,’
It is a fact that Simon Sayder was a
member of the legislature. at the!
time he was pominated for the office!
of Governor.
It is a fact that the federal Editors:

character of Simon Snyder as gros ly|
as they now do that of John Andrew!
Shulze,
And that it is now universaliy ad-
mitted, even by those same federal
Editors, (whether hypocritically or
otherwise, we wil not pretend to de-
fermine,) that Pennsylvania never had
a bevter Governor than Simon Snyde: |
18 also a fact. a "
From the foregoing facts, it is un
deniable that these editors were sc
much under the influence of party
rancor and the lust of office, that they
slandered and calumniated a most
reputabie citizen : And we aver (har
they are now treating Mr. Shuize
with equal injustice. Whether they
