WING CONVENTION.

We are graiitied TO perceive that the re-
commentator of the wing meeting al
Raymond TO hold a wing convention at this
place on The fourth Monday in January
nert, has been generally concurred in by
our friends in the different counties of the
state. In several counties, meetings for
the appointmentof delegates have already
been announced; and we have reason to
believe that erefy county in Mississippi
Will be fully represented We respectful
y sngge to our wing brethren in those
counties which have not yet acted upon the
subject, the propriety of speedily calling
meetngs,qnd appointing delegates. There
is no time to lose. Do not procraslinate,
but at once aid in eonsummatiDg this OBJ
iect, so essential to the triumph of correct
political opinions. The late partial cleo
tons in this state, TO ill yacan les, fully con-
vince us that the state is decidedly anti-ad-
mnlstration in its political sentiments, by a
large majority. If we organise and con
ceRtrdte that majority our triumph is certain
as the rising ofthe sun. Ii cannot be that
the wings of Mississippi. who have strug,
gied for long years in defence Of liberty aud
the consilution-7who have long warred
against the vile corruptions and nlinous ex-
periments Of heariless faction--will po,p
give up the controversy, when victory is
just ready TO perch upon our standard
No! they are not "weary in well doing.''
True, we have fought against fearful odds ::
we fought without pay-without rations--
almost without hope; yet we had then. as
we still have, an approving conscience for
our shield, truth for our lance, and Hberfv
he high glorious reward for our tolls
Then where is the wing SO falterinp and
lmid-so cold-hearted and selfish; as to
SIX for repose ere the battle is ended? Are
lot our foes already deserving their mercen-l
ny leaders BY thousands? Do moi their
ranks waver and fly before us 2
lave we net tesieged and stormed their
most formidable strong-holds? Has not the
lower of truth and justice already made
vide breaches in that strong wall of sophis-
ry with which our enemies fortified them
elves, and which they EondIy hoped would
llde from observation the foul corrIplion
nd nausciating sordidness which peryaded
heir ranks2 These things are surely true;
nd it only needs one more firm and united
barge on the part Of the wings of Misss-
ippi completely to oyerwhe elm the power Of
ocofocoism. The most intelligent and dis.
lnguished members of our party consider
he organization ofa wing state convention
absolutely necessary TO ensure our success.
We must have a regular UAig ticket for
tate officers at our next general election;
here must be no conflicting personal claims
mo chickering's or discomfort, Our enc
MES will surely be united-thev always
ire. They are drilled in party tactics as
igorously as a regular soldier is drilled in
military tactics; and they have been so long
commanded, that their columns move with
he alacrity and order of old veterans. We
y no means desire that wings should at
empt TO rival locofocos in slayish devotion
} leaders, and in servie abandonment of
eason. BY no means. But then, it is inn
ortant that we be united; and we believe
lat convention oiU unite US. Is there |
ounty in tho state that will not send dele
ates! We hope not--we believe not
Once more to the breach, and the day is
