WING CONYENTION.

OO pC1NCbyC0 that Su0 W tte5S "a =
county have come to the rescue. Or
Tuesday last we were gratified to see
our Court room crowded with the reG
Bone and Muscle of our country. The
meeting was an assemblage Of Mer
chants and Planters, both Of character
and wealth, handsomely sprinkled witt
all prOfusions Of trade. There was M
disorder, riot, confusion or noise; twas
a great collection of men Of sense ant
business, alive to the interests OF thel
country, and to their own individual
suferiIgs, from the tamPerings and ex
periments of the administration. Tht
meeting was organized and the assem-
bIage sat quietly and heard the report o
their Committee read. 1t was PLAIN
short and true exposition ofthe reasons
which called them together. Its sentl
ments were fully concurred in by the
meeting; it was unanimously, adopted
and we commend it to the thinking anc
honest part of our community. Attel
the objects of the meeting were &C
complshed, a call for the candidate
were made successfully; PrentlsS
Green, Parham-each Of these gentle
mon addressed the meeting on the, sub
iect of their political creed. 1t is use
less for us to say ought of these gentle
men; the two latter well known to the
county-and the first who is candl.
date before the State, is equally well
known as Wing in all parts. War
rem has done her duty, until the Novem-
Der election comes around, she will
then do it fully and completely. We
trust the other counties Of the State
may be aroused into action, and do like
wise.

that some other person should
AXE the Chair, as he was Chairman OF
he committee who were to report to
his meeting.-On motion of Robert
Garland, DR.. w. r. PUcKETT, was

esumed the part of Secretary. The
Meeting then called for the report of
he committee, which was read to tn EN-
y the Chairman, as follows:
VICKsBURG, MISS. Aug. 18th, 1887. |
The Committee to whom was refer
ed the resolution of the last meeting,
US to report resolutions for
he action Of this meeting and TO re-
,ort thereon, have had the same under
consideration, and
REPORT:
IfalI other considerations were laid
ut of view, the present condition to
which our country is now reduced, is
elieved by your Committee, to be
efficient reason to call forth the most
trenuous exertiors from that portion
f our people, whose political senti-
tents accord with that part denomina-
ID Wings.
1t cannot be disputed, we think, by
ny party, that our whole country has
r the last 90 years enjoyed the most
interrupted and unexalnPled prosper
y; that fact alone we deem an unan-
Werable argument to prove that the
fairs of the nation were during that
me t0isely administered.-It is equal
beyond the reach of dispute now, that
his prosperity has been suddenly
hecked; the tide of adversely has rolled
yer US with paralyzing effects; and
7e know of no similar example in mod
IN times, when such country, in
tate of profound peace and amitv
nth all the world, has exhibited such
state OF things, either for its erteut or
isaStrouS effects.
Our political friends (thc Whiosl

lst 4 or 5 years with philosophic fore
ght; they have publicly proclaimed !
