Col. Smith, OF Frederick, presented me-
mortal on Tuesday from tho county of Har-
rison, praying the expulsion Of Wilson K.
Shinn, the twice elected delegate from that
county, on the ground OF certain criminal
conduct Sc, forth in the memorial, and which
has hitherto been the subject of newspaper
gossip. Mr.. Shinn addressed the House for
more Than an hour, in explanation OF tie
circumstances which formed the bases OF the
charges, endeavoring 10 show that they were
wholly groundless, and that the criminal ns-
pect " h;ch had been given to them was ths
result OF The most artiul manug emeat and
vilainy, instigated by personal malice and
corruption. If half he AYERS be true, what
ever may be his demerit, there are others
whose Conduct will be placed by the inves-
LEGATION in no enviable light. TIE subject

.STAUNTCN:
THURSDAY, DEC. %, 1886.

A Convention OF the Southern States
is earnestly urged to consider the means
necessary 10 be adopted for the preserva-
ton of their rights against the systematic
assaults Of the Northern and Western
Adolf tionists. The late message of the
Governor Of Pennsy lvania is one OF the
most fearful symptoms of the diseased
state Of the public mind, and Of the de-
cay Of those feelings which brought the
Union into existence, and which alone
can preserve it. Verify madness rules
the hour If the people of the South
cannot be protected in the enjoyment of
their rights because they are bound up
in the same federative compact with the
infuriated cut-throats who assail their
peace, they must soon grow tired of a
connection which exposes them, without
remedy, to such annoyance.
We go at once, therefore, for South
ern Convention--for a firm, decided,
and united remonslrance and if thai,
shall fail us-having exhausted the ar.
gument, we must stand by our arms.

OF the newspapers friend Y to the abolition

appointed to emil e hten the public mind
and proclaim liberty to the captive, is in
session at N. York, it may be gratifying
to our friends for US to add, that it has
Deem our happiness TO attend that meeting;
that Tor the space of fortnight its met

bIecorrespondmg members, among whom
we may mention Theodore D. Weld
Charles Stuart, Berah Green, Simeon S.
Jocel YIN, Amos A. Phelps, Henry B.
Stanton, Arthur and Lewis Tappan, &c
&c. that with regard to the fundamental
principles and measures of the anti-save-

of sentiment, all seeing eye to eye, all
cherishing the Same feelings and senti-

indeed all imaginable objections to the

to the duty Of immediate emanci patton
without repatriation, have been met and
refuted: and that many great truths have
been elected, much information disburscd,
much ia lent disp! ayed, and flood Of light
thrown upon many obscure or doubtful
points. Probab a more important con.
