The Next Governor Movements.
Tba K.C C.'i bad decided upon lliester
Clymer as tbeir ('Democratic') candidate,
but Wm.H.Witte has been making inroads
npoa tbeir "slate:" we regard Witte as
the most objectionable of all, and in tbe
hands of the worst men. W.Bigler also is
moving io tbe matter, aod a "new man"
talked of. All the candidates art to be
helved, and Gen.W.B.Fraoklin (to whom
Gsn.Barnside attributed tbe failure of tbe
first attack on Fredericksburg) proposed as
"compromise" candidate. Tbe fate of
Gen. M'Call who ran for Congress, last
fall, in tbe Chester district, and was so
badly defeated seems to be forgotten by
these wire pollers, who have bad Franklin
endorsed by Cumberland county. A good
Soldier will ran well on tbe right side,
bat poorly on the wrong side. Copper
beads will not vote for a thorough War
Democrat, and War Democrats will not
knowingly vote for a Copperhead. In the

compliment, for some one wbo hat "an
axe to grind" with tbe Governor, or to
give delegates a chance to trade off their
votes, is yet to appear. It is eertaioly
trifling with Cortin, who hat repeatedly
declared he should not ran, tod whose
health would not endure another three
