Proposed Nationul Mass Convention.

AT the Wing Celebration Of the late Ma
tional Anniversary in the city and county Of
Philadelphia, The following appears among
The published proceedings;
"Prior 10 the adjournment the following re-
solution was offered by JAMES S. WALLACE,
Esq. and carried amidst the most unbounded
reclamation;
"ResoIred, Tha, the Wings Of Philadelphia
tender an invitation 10 the Wings Of the
WHOLE UNION TO NEE; in Grand Mas Con-
vsntion on the 4Ih Of July, 1914, at Indepen-
denco Square, in the city of Philadelphia, 10
respond TO the nomination of the National
Wing Convention"
We trust this invitation, issued BY The
Wings Of Philadelphia 10 the WhiEsof the
Union, 10 respond TO the nomination Of the
Wing National Convention which meets in
Baltimore IN May next, will be circulated
from Maine 10 Florida, and from the Allan
tic to the Oregon We are all aware Of the
influence which the Mass Convention at
Baltimore in ls40 had upon the whig party
associations were there entered into, friend
ships formed, correspondences arranged, OPT
Mons lnterchanged, and promises given
which acted as the bond and cement of the
entire Harrison party throughout the Union.
il was the frst giant impulse given 10 the
avalanche Of 1910; the first "roll Of the
ball" which crushed Locolocoism in ITS on
ward course; the Lexington of the moral
and political revolution Of the people against
their taskmasiers and Opprsssors!
The invitation is extended in unbounded
cordially, and we trust it will be accepted
in the same spirit Of lralsmal kindness
We ask our Wing brethren Of the press to be
bearers Of The request which Philadelphia
city and county makes 10 the Wings Of the
Union, and TO prOmulgate through their CO
lumns that every arrangement viii be made
for their comfort and convenience. Come
one, come all! and here let US ratify anew
those bonds Of amiiy and kindness whicI
treachery has been unable 10 sunder, an,
which time Can never impair!

NAMES AND THINGs.-The locofocos, with
out the slightest regard to propriety efspeech
cali themselves ''democrats. A similar an
tagonism between things and their names is
Of quite frequent occurre nee. The most
cowardly and iubberly man we ever saw was
called Hannibal" andth most unquestion-
ably ugly thing ever seen was negro wo-
man who reioices in the name of "Vsnus. .
Just think Of such discrepancies The name
Of Venus with ugliness, and that Of demo.
cTacy with Iccofocoism Lou. Journal.

JonN TYLER, l.. L. D.-For the honor Of
Hazard University, we hasten TO correct the
error into which we were misled, in announc-
ing that this University has conferred upon
John Tyler the degree of L. L. D. This
we are informed is untrue, and furthermore
we believe the only degree Of L. L. D.
which will be ever conferred on the dislin-
guished individual alluded TO will be that
he will receive az the hands Of the people

marked manner with the title Of L. l.. D.

The crona.

we have this week made short excur-
sien into the country, and have been much
pleased with the general appearance Of the
several plantations that were under our OBJ.
servalion. The corn cropis truly abundant,
the weather having been throughout the
season such as 10 promote the growth Of the
plant and produce full, large ears upon the
stalk. But few ofthe ears Of corn are blight
ed or shrivelled, at least of those which we
inspected, and We presume that those were
fair sample Of the whole. From al we
can gather respecting the cotton crop of the
county il will in all probability fall short Of
that of last year, but large portion Of the
cotton Of this season is said TO be of a much
finer quality than the major part of that pro.
duced FOR some years back. The crops are
far more bountiful than, owing TO the back.
wardness of Spring. we had thsughs they
could possibly be.

TENNESSEE. Vicksburg Wing of Tues |
day last gives the result Of the returns from |
thirty counties in Tennessee, which coun-
ties are situate in Middle and West Tonnes
see. In these Gov. Jones, the Wing candi- |
date, has majority over Polk, Of 27eS votes
the Wing gain being e46 votes over the
majority Of I84l in same counties. In Da-
vidson county, the home Of Gen. Jackson,
Jones' majority is 5s3. The Wings have
elected to Congress, as far as heard from,
John B. Ashe, Milton Brown, DR.. Jos. h.
Peyton, and D. w. Dickerson. Cave John
son has been elected over GussaVus A. Hen
~ by 25 votes,-in l841 his majority was
$40. The Wings viii in all probability have
a majority in both branches Of the legisla-
ture. East Tennessee remains to be heard
from, the returns from this portion of the
State will, we think, be somewhat locofo-
coish. Jones is 20 doubt elected by large
majority.
ALABAMA.-By the returns from Mobile
county it appears that two Wing State Re-
representatives., and two Democratic were
elected. The Democrats succeeding in cleo
Ting their candidates for Sheriff and Tax
Collector.
