be given up OF their giving bonds-the goods
to be sold by order Of court. The counsel
for Llet Gedney moved the court to order
the entire cargo sold for whom it might con
Notwithstanding, however, any desire to
have the Africans sold
The question was then argued whether the
Africans might withdraw their plea 10 the
jurisdiction of the court, on the ground that
the seizure was not in the territorial iursdic-
ton Of the Court. The Court decided that
they might, and put in any clam they chose.
Their counsel then put in a general answer,
~ which they claim that they are not prop
erty, and that this court has no jurisdiction
over them as such. The Marshal and Deputy
Marshal were then called upon TO prove the
value of the schooner and her cargo, erciu-
s're The africans. The Amstad was va!u.
ed at one Thousand dollars, and the cargo at
four thousand dollars.

THE WING CONVENTION.

| THE WING CONVENTION.
/ We gave yesterday the official &C
count of the proceedings of the Wing
Convention, held at the State House
last Wednesday evening. We wish
every freeman Of Rhode Island could
have been presen. to have listened to
the speeches which were made upon
the subject Of the Harrisburg nomina-
tions. Three Of the delegates to tho
Harrisburg Convention were present,
and each of them gave such an account
Of the harmony and enthusiasm which
prevailed in that Assembly, as was most
encouraging to the friends of the good
cause.
The Hon. Asher Robbins also spoke.
Mr.. Robbins was in the Senate with
General Harrison, and knew him inti-
mately, and bore witness to the purity
ofhis principles both moral and political.
Richard X. Randolph, Esq. spoke of
the peculiar delicacy Of his situation,
which had, during the canvass, provcn-
ted him from expressing his views upon
the fitness of General Harrison for tho
high Office for which he has been norni-
mated. Mr.. Randolph is nephew Of
General Harrison, and passed his early
years with him. lie knew him inti-
mately, and was familiar with his whole
history from the time when he Joined
the army, with commission from
Washington, till he retired to his farm
on the Ohio. Mr. Randolph related
several anecdotes Of Gen. Harrison,
which were received with much inter
est One Of his first recollections, he
said, was the performance of the trage-
dy of Cato, by a number of young per-
sons, for the benefit of a charitable So
ciety ; the part of the noble Roman was
performed by Harrison and never,
said Mr.. Randolph, from that day to
this, la, he played an inferior part.
Mr.. Randolph alluded to the fact At
Gen. Harrison had never held on to
Office for the sake of the emoluments.
when his services were not required
He was never General in peace he
was never any thing else in war.
The speeches Of all the gentlemen
were repeatedly interrupted by ap-
plause, and the feelings Of the Conven-
tion and the auditors were manifested
with enthusiasm. We are fully con-
vinced that even in this State, which
next to his own Kentucky, claims to be
most ardently attached to Henry Clay,
every vote which would have been
given to the great statesman Of tho
West, will be cheerfully given to the
man whom he has so cloquently and
generously called upon the Wing party
to support. There can be no doubt
that Rhode Island will do her duty we
think there can be little that the whole
country will do its duty and place in tho
highest Office Of the nation, the man
who most deserves it, and who is So
eminently qualified for 1.-THE Peoples
candidate-William Henry Harrison.
